The Pixel 10 Pro XL does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack. Like most flagship phones since 2020, Google removed it for water resistance and internal space.

Your audio options:

USB-C wired headphones Plug directly into the phone. Increasingly common, often include their own DAC for quality audio. Cleanest solution for new purchases.

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters Use existing wired headphones. Choose adapters with built-in DAC (not cheap passive ones) for proper audio quality. Budget $10-30.

Bluetooth The phone supports Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX HD. Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are optimized for Pixel, but any Bluetooth audio works.

Audio quality note: Some users report Bluetooth can sound compressed even with LDAC. For critical listening:

• USB-C wired headphones
• Dedicated USB-C DAC with wired headphones
• LDAC-capable headphones

Built-in speakers: Excellent stereo sound tuned by Google. Spatial audio support in compatible apps. Better than most phone speakers.

Recommendations:

If you have favorite 3.5mm headphones, get a quality USB-C adapter with DAC for $15-25.

For maximum convenience, Bluetooth is how most people listen now—and the Pixel handles it well.
