    to be honest, I agree with you somewhat. but it’s the best we got for now till a competitor comes along.

    that being said though headphone jacks are SO annoying because they make noise and fall out so easily, I wish we could get a 2nd USBC instead.

    also I’m gonna keep using my Pixel 8 till security updates run out then see how fairphone is doing. It was a tough decision to get the pixel but the fairphone 5 wasn’t sold where I live back then :(

      have you seen miad 01? it’s more of a dac with a phone but they got 4.4mm, i think it’s a cool idea

      edit: idk what kinda jacks you had, maybe i’m not using it that much but i’ve never had one fall off, even on a phone that i reassembled before. what kind of failure point was it?

        that looks dope as hell, but I’m not really a hi-fi user other than my desktop setup which is where my pain with aux comes from

        I have a “beyrdynamics dt 350 limited edition” (iirc) with a custom cord because I sit like a shrimp and the long studio port would dig into my shoulder
        I hate long cords so I measured it to be 3.5 feet but in reality it often tugs on the port and comes out so easily. it’s really annoying but I’m not paying another $50 to get a new cord or risking it with my nonexistent sauder skills
