Leave the dongle connected to your headphones. Problem solved.
What am I supposed to do then if I want to use those same headphones on every other audio device owned?

You remove them from the headphones, it's really easy.What am I supposed to do then if I want to use those same headphones on every other audio device owned?
This is a valid point, and one that I admittedly didn't think to include in the article. I've added in a mention. ThanksThere are more reasons than the above article says, maybe lots of people like more than 1, 1 in the office, 1 in the house and one in a car or more if they own more cars.
They used to sell a lot of external floppy drives and SuperDrives too.When your best selling product is something that's needed to restore basic functionality to another product then you've lost your way in form over function.

or you could just use the standard headphones.... i cant think of a single reason or use case where it would be logical to turn my airpods into a wired version.If Apple really wants to push Air Pods, I think they should offer an adapter for those. Don't give me a Lightning -> 3.5 mm adapter. Give me an Airpod -> 3.5 mm adapter.
I regularly use my headphones with non-Apple products, and 3.5 mm is the standard that everyone (except Apple) supports.
I think I'd happily pay $30 for such an adapter. Even better would be if it was just in the box with the AirPods, though.
Glad to know that the latency does not bother you.I used the adapter only a couple of time in 9 months since I upgraded to the 8+.
BeatsX are my daily driver and I sometimes listen to music with a wired pair of headphones on my Mac, never on the iPhone.
I hope they'll keep the 3.5'' jack on the Mac for a long time, but on iOS devices I'm fine with bluetooth earphones.

i mean you know they give you a set of earpods with the phone, right? Oh and an adapter if you want to use separate headphones...
Have a pile of them sitting on my desk. Folks at the Apple Store were nice enough to give me the charger and adapter when they had to swap out a new iPhone 7 Plus for a new one when it was first released. Have a few others from test phones too. I just don't tend to have a need for the adapters. Suppose I'll eventually toss them along with all the power cables and headphones that pile up with time.
That's not the point and you know it.i mean you know they give you a set of earpods with the phone, right? Oh and an adapter if you want to use separate headphones...

I just sarcastly answered his comment since it made no sense, you can lose them pretty quickly yes.and that's when people lose them
defeating your own point.
Fruhlinger offered up a pretty reasonable explanation: people keep losing the adapter, thereby having to buy a new one
