This felt life changing at first. I don't really know why. Maybe it was just the bulkier plug head that makes it feel more durable and the straight head style is more agreeable with today's device/pocket arrangements.
However, it means I can't charge and listen to my phone at the same time. This is more of a flaw of the phone design than headphone design and only really comes up during 2h+ phone calls. I suppose my laptop is also older, which is why it only has one C port. I can get a splitter, though it's harder to find dual-c than c+3.5mm. I can't plug it into non-C devices, since there are still 3.5mm jacks out there such as on planes and older phones (I carry my older phone as a dedicated movie/music device on said planes/travels). I carry Bluetooth headphones as well, but the latency is unbearable for movies. Probably a headphone issue more than a sole BT issue.
In summary of all my gripes, just review your devices for intended use. I still carry them when I travel and still use them for longer calls. It beats charge anxiety in most situations.
I bought an ipod from a thrift store. Its so nice to have a separate power and audojack!
Depending on which iPod you've got, modding them can be incredibly easy giving them much more storage. If it's a Touch though, you can't do much.
Yep! I have a new-ish battery in one and linux running on it. Its so nice.
I think they sell dongles that would let you charge and listen. It's one more thing to carry, but you can just leave it on your charger all the time.
You said they're hard to find but, here

Yes. I did a brief search and got annoyed as I realized here was no way to reliably filter out c/3.5mm splitters and only find c/c. But I guess there's no real point trying to pick the best amazon option
