Hear me out.
Get a Fiio KA5 (or similar).
It’s negligibly tiny.
It’s cheap.
It works between smartphones. You can keep it a decade+.
Now your headphones work with anything.
Sound clarity/noise floor/volume level is better than any phone.
Better sound quality from your PC. Or TV. Or anything.
Now your choice of phone isn’t so restricted, so you can find a deeply discounted one.
What’s the downside? I get some dongles being annoying, like the Apple ports meme, but this tiny thing has caused me precisely zero inconvenience and brought me tons of convenience.
I know these DACs are awesome. But I really like the option to plug directly into the phone. Especially since the only reason not to have that is so that Apple and Samsung can sell you crappy, overpriced Bluetooth buds.
It does plug directly into the phone! It literally just lives on my headphone cable, and it’s so light the 3.5mm cable is the basically same as with it off or on.
I suppose the only downside is if other using your phone want to plug in, and they happen to not have the dongle. Or if you want it for an older car maybe.
