Bluetooth/Carplay/AndriodAuto vehicle connections, bluetooth headphones in the sub $30 range... welcome to 2015, where there is zero need for 3.5mm jack and poor quality audio. I'm sure you'll catch up someday.
As an iPhone 7+ user, this is crazy talk. Audio quality of BT headphones is awful. I have Beats X and they're so bad compared to my wired Etymotics or certainly my AKG headphones. I still use the dumb dongle to listen to corded cans, which is a pain if you've got a low battery. It's a dumb design, full stop.

Now the 8 should fix it since it will have wireless charging and either a Lightning or USB-C connection to dongle my headphones back in.
