Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.

I hate to say it but the apple type c to 3.5mm jack dongle is actually really good and all you really need. You could go for a balls to the wall dongle setup with a micro DAC that plugs into the phone bit youre starting to get into the placebo effect area of audiphile stuff

If my phone had two usb c ports, one top one bottom or even right next to each other, maybe. But excess wear and tear on the only port I can use for charging on a non-repairable device, the inability to charge and use headphones simultaneously, and an OG Xbox controller style dongle like it's 200fucking3 are unfortunately not solutions to "have correct hole please."

I don't need audiophile quality, just "good enough," combined with "doesn't hurt ears or use my charging port."

My phone, laptop, & DAP all conveniently have a headphone jack so I can enjoy better quality sound, with no lantency, no spotty connectivity, no pairing lag, no need for firmware upgrades or proprietary apps, a cheaper price, easy to find the monitors since they are tethered together, & with better sustainability without lithium ion batteries while never have to worry about charge either.

What was the upside of wireless again?

I understand the complaints because I hated it when Pixel dropped the jack. But it can be a smoother process than jacks.

I get in my car and no longer fumble to pull my phone out and plug it in. Pairing is quicker than plugging in a cable.

When doing yardwork I used to have to fish my cord through my shirt or it would get caught and yanked out by a tree branch. Even then it was cumbersome because of too much slack or too little slack causing disconnects or snags.

It's not perfect. A downside that still might exist (I bypassed the problem years ago so I don't know if they ever fixed it.) was Google's auto pairing that wasn't able to be turned off. When I walked close to the house from outside, my phone would decide on its own to pair with speakers in the house. But that's a Google problem, not Bluetooth. It didn't exist with Nexus because you could manually control pairing.

EWaste is a problem.

The upside is "my phone is a bitch and doesn't have a jack."

I fucking wish, but GrapheneOS was more important to me.

Edit: oh sorry just realized you're on .ml, "my phone is a doody-head and doesn't have a jack."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Whereas my approach is the opposite where I refuse GrapheneOS since I can’t have headphone jack 😄
