There's an option of using the Type-C USB ports, with 1 x Thunderbolt 4 ports being offered too, allowing both the use of almost any current peripheral, but also adaptors & dongles allowing use of additional ports for the laptop.

With a backlit keyboard, you'll clearly see your keys and ensure minimal mistakes when you're typing what you need to type.

The numpad inclusion on the laptop ensures optimal access to number keys, so if that's what you're after then this laptop has it for you.

Don't fret about your wired headphones though, the 3.5mm headphone jack will let you plug right in.

Add in a mechanical keyboard and a display panel with 300Hz refresh rate and you are potentially looking at an impressive piece of kit.
