On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

I was in a similar situation. Not sleep-phones, but just a particular type of headphones that I like. Have you thought about getting a Bluetooth receiver for them? It's super annoying, but it's the only way I've been able to keep my headphones. Just thought I'd suggest it if you hadn't thought of this solution/kludge yet. https://www.fiio.com/btr3k

The other option is to get a USB-C adapter. https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-play-4

Yeah I've been thinking about trying that actually. Even thought about trying to rewire the sleep phones to make them permanently bluetooth but didn't want to mess them up. May try that or the adapter sometime.
