So yeah I have some BT headphones, and at any given time I pull them out there is a 50/50 chance the battery is dead or nearly so. So I always keep regular earbuds in my bag too.
One time I was on a flight and somehow my trusty old wired earbuds got packed away in another bag. I did have my BT headphones and by some miracle they were charged. But then I had to pair the headphones to my laptop (99% of the time only paired with my phone). Have you ever tried to pair a BT device on a plane? It's nearly impossible with everyone else on the same flying bus also using BT devices. I was finally able to do it, but it must have taken 25 or 30 tries.
TLDR - not buying any device that lacks a physical headphone jack. Phone, laptop, etc. Nope. And I don't care if there is a dongle, all those are good for is getting lost. There is ZERO viable reason for omitting the 3.5 jack... it's all just a ploy to get you to buy new headphones.
