now you need 3 different parts just to plug headphones in. Sounds like a valid reason to complain to me. You need 2 small cords, one of which is a tiny ass 2 cm cord that you better not misplace because if you do, it's gone for good, and your actual headphone cord. They're just trying to force complications so that people blow more money on the higher-tech stuff that many people might not want to pay for.
