I used the dongle. I left it permanently attached to my headphone cable, and it was a non-issue to “carry it everywhere.” Needing a wired inline mic is a niche of niche, making the argument about antitrust monopoly even weaker.

Needing a mic on a phone is not niche. What made you stop using the dongle?

Wireless headphones are a better experience is basically every way, and yes microphones on phones aren’t a niche which is why every phone has one. Totally unrelated to wired inline external microphones, though.

If you're taking a call on a phone with headphones, you need an mic on the headphones for anyone to hear you.
