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 :(

Which is a damn shame.

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

I accidentally solved that by having a pc case with really tight 3.5 ports, using a splitter (edit: it's a short, flexible type) that is quite loose and finally, headphones with an extremely solid port on the left cup (though I'd prefer right). If I yank it, the weakest link pops out, which is the output side of that splitter. In hindsight, for the price i paid this case is insanely good
