Just a quick search on Amazon shows a two pack of USB C headphones for $10

Or 100 analog ones for $36.

So you are worried about saving money and consider $5 for a pair of headphones and you bought an iPhone????

No. Going back to what I initially responded to:

> I’m going to need HN geeks to get over analog headphones from the 60s

I am saying that not all adoration of the analog headphone jack is baseless. And we shouldn't universally move on.

So your adoration of analog headphone jacks is you can buy a pair of crappy ones for less than a 50 cents each?

If you are that concerned about price, I’m sure you can get a $20 Tracphone from somewhere with an analog jack.
