I know I'm in the minority but it time for the 3.5mm jack to go.
Seriously, it's major nuisance to have to plug in more than one cable, often on different points on the device, which precludes charging and playing at the same time when mounted or in a carrying case.
How hard is it to buy a splitter/adapter for each of your audio connections, how many do you have? I have 2 headphone sets, my car audio. Buy the adpater, plug it there in forget about it.
And not to mention, by taking leaving out that jack, maybe the manufacturer could stuff in one more feature it would otherwise be forced to leave out.
How long are we going to have a legacy port on devices?
How is it a legacy port? 3.5mm audio jacks have not declined in popularity in electronic devices or been replaced by a new standard. They are the most mainstream audio output in existence. They are the opposite of a legacy port.
The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays.

are you an idiot? everything is already 3.5mm. it's the universal standard for most consumer head/earphones, even my Sony MDR-V6s.
