I’m curious why you can’t:

1. Keep the adapter on the headphones cord

2. Get headphones for USB-C (or whatever the Pixel uses)

3. Get Bluetooth headphones

I mean, I understand that you feel like you shouldn’t have to do those things, and you won’t buy one of these again, but it sounds like this is ruining your life. Why not just fix the problem?

1. How do I use the headphones in a different product then?

2. I have perfectly good headphones and am not buying more. Period.

3. Why would I spend more money on this for a product I hate? No way am I buying new headphones that I will hate. Bad idea for my sanity.

I will fix the problem by never dealing with a crap phone like this. Next phone will definitely have a headphone jack.

#4 Get a Bluetooth dongle like the TaoTronics TT-BA08

That sounds awful. I am not buying some something else that I don't want to own just to fix a problem that shouldn't be a problem in the first place.

Also that page is a 404.

Page is working fine for me. Ho hum. And no, it's not awful, it's a pragmatic solution to not having to buy new headphones and not having to use a dongle - both of which were complained about :)

OK. Just offering some suggestions, but it seems like you’re more invested in complaining than fixing the problem.
