#4 Get a Bluetooth dongle like the TaoTronics TT-BA08

That sounds awful. I am not buying some something else that I don't want to own just to fix a problem that shouldn't be a problem in the first place.
Also that page is a 404.

Page is working fine for me. Ho hum. And no, it's not awful, it's a pragmatic solution to not having to buy new headphones and not having to use a dongle - both of which were complained about :)

It's a $30 dongle that also needs to be charged. You can get a decent wired headset for $30.

What are you going to plug it into if your phone has no headphone socket?
This thread is -specifically- about when you -can't- plug your existing headphones into your phone.

OK. Just offering some suggestions, but it seems like you’re more invested in complaining than fixing the problem.
2. I have perfectly good headphones and am not buying more. Period.
3. Why would I spend more money on this for a product I hate? No way am I buying new headphones that I will hate. Bad idea for my sanity.
I will fix the problem by never dealing with a crap phone like this. Next phone will definitely have a headphone jack.
