To be able to charge at the same time, you will need active headphones instead of passive which means an extra soundcard that will pull energy from the battery. As passive headphones when detected changes the USB + and - to connect the headphones to the internal soundcard/DSP-board and if you also insert 5v at the same time would probably fry the DSP-chip.

I'm using a USB active splitter and an old 3.5mm headphone so I can charge at the same time, it works but I do get worse sound quality and also lower sound levels this way. Best solution is a good bluetooth 5 headset, then you both get good sound and can charge the phone.

I tried a USB active splitter with a regular pair of 3.5mm headphones. Audio quality was okay, not impressive at all, but using them for phone calls......horrible. I could hear the person I'm talking to, but they would claim they couldn't hear me or I sounded far away. I'm not big on Bluetooth headsets. Especially now considering most of them come with 2 earbuds. I prefer a single earbud. Maybe I'll have to look on Amazon again and see if theirs anything new.

USB-C pixel buds are great. Had them for around 8 months now and no issues.

If you are looking for a set that have the ear tips then probably best going with the USB-C bullets. Great sound but I don't use them anymore because I prefer a set that don't go deep into my ear
