Didn't even bother taking it or the earphones out the box. Wireless all the way!
I would leave it attached to the headphones when not connected to the phone. Seems like the easiest way to not lose it so easily.
Why did you not just leave it connected to the headphones?
After I started using bluetooth headphones last year, I can never go back to traditional earphones. I have a pair of B&O headphone for some more serious music listening, and Jaybird X2 for workout and daily commute.
The leisure of leaving my phone in my bag and just have earphones in really free up my hands, and eliminate the possibility that my music will be interrupted when accidentally pulled out the wire. Just my 2 cents - switch to bluetooth earphones!

A pair of $20 wired earphone can achieve the same sound quality some $200 wireless headphone can achieve. Why bother?
I appreciate the benefit of wireless but it is still too early to embrace all wireless.
At least they're cheap. They could have charged multiples of the asking price. Apple has mitigated the pain of this transition.
I guess this thread isn't for you then.
I lost my dongle back in high school in 1988I did. used it once. put it in my bag with my headphones in case I need to use it. must have fell out when I took my headphones out and dropped somewhere.
Me, had to purchase another one in Apple today. To be fair its probably in my car somewhere... I hope
For those wondering why anyone would remove it from their headphones, one simple answer might be because they use their headphones in hardware aside from just their iPhone.
Mine stays attached to my aux cord in my car. I don't have any other use for it since I have some QC 35 headphones.
Sounds painful.
I just bought a second one because I cannot seem to have it within reach when I need it. Such a giant pain in the ***
Question: does the play/pause switch work on your headphones when using the adaptor with an iPhone 7/7plus? I am using it with the Apple EarPods that came with my previous iPhone 6. The volume up and down buttons work but the middle button doesn't seem to register when I click it.
