The Gigaset GS6 Pro combines modern smartphone features with a commitment to sustainability. Equipped with a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display (120 Hz), the fast MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G processor, and a generous 256 GB of internal storage, it’s perfectly equipped for intensive multitasking. The absolute highlight: The removable 5,300 mAh battery, which can be charged via 30W fast charging or wirelessly. Thanks to its rugged, IP68-certified housing, a high-resolution 64 MP triple camera, and future-proof Android.
Apple’s version is first rate and like $15. I use them to connect my computers to Class D Amps, gets me great 5/7.1
For mobile I’ve had the Qudelix-5K for a couple of years, pricey, but really nice. I forgot and left LDAC 990kbps/96kHz on for months (overkill and bad for battery life), nary a stutter at really impressive ranges. Pretty much makes the audio jack issue irrelevant.
I have the opposite experience, lots of connection problems and batteries dying, when I decided to buy something of better quality it bricked itself after the warranty expired. Fuck Senheiser.
But probably depends strongly on the use case. I’m talking about walking around with headphones in my ear and phone in my pocket, that exerts a lot of stress/pressure on the jack and where the cable bends. I also had the phone part break twice so far
Or in other words: my headphones connected to my PC basically never break, but on my phone I had to replace them every few months
I’m not sure if I ever broke a headphone cable that way but that did happened to the last usb dongle I bought.
The times I broke a cable is because they got caught on door knob or something. Also the cable of the headphones I use on my PC for running over it with the chair one too many times, luckily that cable can easily replaced.
Yeah, mainly because some people want to sell bluetooth shit that will need replacement more often.
If at least someone could make a dongle that doesn’t suck.
The ifi Audio GO Link is pretty decent.
FiiO KA11 might also be good. Both around 50 $.
Edit: GO link is phased out, it’s 2 now.
Heck, any generix 10€ dongle with a CX31993 will be more than sufficient for most people
Yup, got a “JM6 Pro” or whatever from aliexpress and it has been great both on my phone and PCs
They look pretty good, yes. I’ll look into it, if they’d come with 90 degree usb they’d be perfect.
Thanks

tbh, I switched to bluetooth after some time. My cables broke way too often. I still like it as a fallback, but that’s pretty much it.

That.
Also, I miss headphone sharing.
And people not blasting the whole train with some loud shit they are watching instead of simply plugging in some 2 € / piece headphones.
I liked when the Sony MH-410c came with every new phone.
If people still had phones with headphone jacks, I’d just throw cheap headphones at them and travel on the train in peace.
