what exactly, one would ask. If there are tradeoffs, if would be nice if the customers can decide what to have, in a modular product.

At this point headphones with an usb-c connection have become nearly as common as 3.5mm trs ones. Additionally you can permamently hook a small usb-c dac with 3.5mm trs output to the headphones of your choice.

Only issue is some very cheap ones are actually bluetooth headphones in disguise where the usb-c connection only exist to power the bt recepter inside the headphone. I find this completely stupid.

		I tried the "jack to USB-C" in the only product I was forced to that needed it: an unthinkable battery drain.

A "modular product" has tradeoffs in and of itself (such as size, price, water resistance, …), which presumably would not fly for a majority of customers.
