They work fine with my iPad, Huawei Android tablet and S22 phone. I'd guess they'll work well with Pixels too? You're not forced to use bluetooth/wireless headphones.
First problem: the USB-C to jack adapter from fairphone is out-of-stock. Okay, I guess I will buy from a third party (22$). It was written for iPad, Samsung, I guessed that it could work for my fairphone. Well, it didn't. I give the cable back, shop for another, doesn't work either.
Second problem: there is no way I will buy for more than >100$ headphones. So I cave in, buy the fairphone wireless headphones (82$). They arrive, and the experience is terrible: sound quality is worse than my 17$ headphones (everything is muffled except bass), the touch interface is terrible, the ANC really bothers me and the latency is horrendous. If I use the piano app on my iPad (for rehearsing vocal music), I feel the latency and it is really unusable. Switching between devices (windows laptop, smartphone and tablet) is terrible.
Yes, I could go out of my way to find a quality USB-C to jack adapter that works, or look at all the reviews of wireless headphones, but the fact is that if you are not an Apple user and use the Airpods (which are quite expensive), the whole experience is just terrible.
- you can’t charge your phone and listen to music at the same time.
- it’s really easy to loose the adapter, especially if you use your headphones on other devices that still have the jack.

Though, as others mentioned, putting the analog audio signal next to the power line is questionable, especially in cheap adapters.
