Why not just use your mobile phone ? (I'm not very knowledgeable about audio stuff)

Most flagship phones have removed the 3.5mm headphone jack, leaving you with poor options for audio quality.

USB-C is good for charging but bad for wired headphones: any little movement of the USB-C plug can cause the headphones and sound to disconnect. Bluetooth is also a lot poorer music quality compared to wired connections.

I would if manufacturers stopped removing the 3.5mm jack from flagship phones.

Or if UBC-C wasn't such a poor experience for wired headphones.
