    There’s some adapters that split into headphone and charging. Certainly less clean than just having another port on the phone itself but it’s an option if you like wired headphones.

      Yeah but my issue isn’t charging while listening (though now that you mention it, that too lol) but the undue plugging and unplugging on my sole port, for the dongle to solve that I’d need to leave it connected 24/7 which would be madness lol.

        I’ve seen too many charging ports ruined by being pulled at weird angles. You’re making the same choice I am, I just use a crappy DAP now because I am not going back to a spyware phone.

          Yeah I’m considering it, but I already carry too much stuff.

          You remember those shitty sandisk mp3 players that took an SD card but were pretty small? I Need an updated one but with 1tb microSD.

            That is exactly the type I am recommending really. Mine is super gimmicky, but fun. It is shaped like a cassette and can be put into a cassette player and actually work. I have a 256GB sdcard in it, works fine with all my mp3s and flacs.
