2 headphone jacks is definitely a choice. I wonder if there’s at least one use case for it in 2024 though

It’s aimed strictly at audiophiles. The extra jack is a 4.4mm jack that’s more common in things like DACs.

An example:

Pair a phone like this with a pair of Sennheiser’s and a bunch of FLAC files and you might have a really good time.

Oh so the jacks are different? Ok then. I thought the other sizes are dead or only used in niche $100k+ equipment

Second sentence:

It has a 4.4mm headphone jack to go with the more conventional 3.5mm type.

4.4mm is for balanced audio output. This audience for this device is audiophiles.

You’d be surprised. Plenty of great in ear monitors that are sub $100 and use balanced 4.4mm jacks.
