The headphone jack is inside USB-C connector. You can use USB-C-to-3.5mm passive (!) cable to connect your 3.5mm headphones, or you can buy 3.5mm headphones with USB-C audio connection. There's no additional DAC involved, the analog audio is already on a USB-C pins.

    How is that better than having a dedicated headphones port?
    - tcfhgj 9d ago
      I didn't claim it is better

        Fair enough.

    Going from separate ports to one port, when its easy to yank the headphone cord and ruin the usb-c so now you can't charge your phone is great. I've tried those dongles and they are all a huge hassle compared to just having a headphone jack built in.

      Well yes, I agree, but the option is there.
      - esarbe 11d ago
        I think I'd rather stick with a phone that has a separate headpones port.

I can't find anything about that in the article or the Fairphone 6 manual. Do you have a source for this? My main problem with USB-C headphones on my Android phone is how unreliable they are. But if the USB-C port can just pass through an analog audio connection, that should work much better, I expect.
