I'm with you. I still use my 3.5mm jack daily. I've got some cheap PC stereo speakers next to my bed, so I can listen to stuff to fall asleep to. They suck for music, but are just fine for audiobooks for instance.
I gotta say, I love my AirBuds sooooo much. I only use my nice cans on my computer anymore.
That’s a different use case though. Falling asleep with cheap speakers is a much better idea than big speakers… My partner and I leave shows or long VODs on to sleep, and even with the bass all the way down, sometimes I feel like it’s a bit distracting.
You’re onto something—I should snag us a pair of 2.0 speakers and just switch to those for sleep. Then we wouldn’t have to adjust the sub all the time.
I wish I had a 3.5mm jack :( wired is better quality at the end of the day.
My phone came with a USB-3.5mm adapter but I never end up using it.
I'd be fine with the lack of the port if they at least gave us 2 USB-C ports so I could charge and listen without a splitter.
I'm surprised their isn't a phone case with a built in DAC and 3.5 tbh.
