    Been using Android for over a decade now. With the recent removal of 3.5mm jacks, I had to look into usb-c to 3.5mm adapters, because I prefer using my wired IEMs.

    It turns out the apple usb-c to 3.5mm adapter is actually top notch, and only costs $9. Plenty of folks use that as an upgrade for their computers built in soundboard, because the digital to analog converter on the adapter is excellent and superior to most built in soundboards.

      I’ve always liked their earbuds, they’re the only reputable manufacturers that still use the old style rather than those SkullCandy or beats ass inserts that don’t fit in my ear, so they’re the only headphones I can actually use. The old Bose inserts worked for me too but idek if Bose makes that style anymore.

      This is solid advice for anyone who loves their music.

      I miss the 3.5 so much. Especially the LG G20(on onward) series. But it is not to be. But the apple adapter on your phone is a great substitute. I’ve done it for a while now.

      Didn’t know it was used for folks on the comp, so that pretty neat to know.
