I absolutely hated not having a headphone jack so I finally gave in a bought a pair of AirPods Pro. They are literally my favorite thing I've bought in the last decade.

I know it's an extremely expensive solution, and it's super shitty that Apple is basically forcing you to buy them, but now that I have them I love them.

That’s an exaggeration. As mentioned in another comment Apple’s lightning to jack adapter is cheap, well done and enables all your high end headphones to be used with the iPhone. Just leave them attached to your headphones if you keep forgetting to bring them with you.

Plus, there are countless non-Apple wireless headphones options if you really don’t like adapters. Airpods are by no means mandatory.

Same with me I got AirPods, now I never use any other headphones (which I used to love).

I feel gross when I call them 'magical' but they sortof really are
