For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    Headphone jack. Next to my bed is the one good Bluetooth headset, the two crappy backup sets for when it is charging, and the gigantic earmuff yardwork set for when the good one is still charging and the 2 shit ones have already died.

      Just buy a dongle and you can use regular headphones.

        Counterpoint: Put it inside the phone, where it belongs.

          Does it actually belong in the phone? Putting the adc chip outside the phone gives the opportunity to upgrade your sound rather than depend on what the manufacturer bundled or even screwed up. (Nexus phones were notorious for bad headphone output.)

          Fun fact - mobile phones didn’t have 3.5mm jacks until very recent times.

        Every single phone I’ve owned dongles stop working eventually while charging still works fine.

        Get the Fiio BTR5. It costs about $100 and has Quad-DAC from ESS just like one used in flagship LG phones. It can switch between Bluetooth and USB inputs, so you can use standard headphones to do phone calls wirelessly for example.
