    Yeah, mainly because some people want to sell bluetooth shit that will need replacement more often.

    If at least someone could make a dongle that doesn't suck.

    The ifi Audio GO Link is pretty decent.

    FiiO KA11 might also be good. Both around 50 $.

    Edit: GO link is phased out, it's 2 now.

    Apple's version is first rate and like $15. I use them to connect my computers to Class D Amps, gets me great 5/7.1

    For mobile I've had the Qudelix-5K for a couple of years, pricey, but really nice. I forgot and left LDAC 990kbps/96kHz on for months (overkill and bad for battery life), nary a stutter at really impressive ranges. Pretty much makes the audio jack issue irrelevant.

    tbh, I switched to bluetooth after some time. My cables broke way too often. I still like it as a fallback, but thatโ€™s pretty much it.

    I have the opposite experience, lots of connection problems and batteries dying, when I decided to buy something of better quality it bricked itself after the warranty expired. Fuck Senheiser.

    But probably depends strongly on the use case. Iโ€™m talking about walking around with headphones in my ear and phone in my pocket, that exerts a lot of stress/pressure on the jack and where the cable bends. I also had the phone part break twice so far

    Or in other words: my headphones connected to my PC basically never break, but on my phone I had to replace them every few months

    I'm not sure if I ever broke a headphone cable that way but that did happened to the last usb dongle I bought. The times I broke a cable is because they got caught on door knob or something. Also the cable of the headphones I use on my PC for running over it with the chair one too many times, luckily that cable can easily replaced.

    Clicks Communicator is gonna be released later this year and it brings back both the headphone jack and physical keyboard! And the company is registered in the UK which is perhaps interesting for this sub.

    I'd totally buy this if it can run Lineage OS or some other non-google Android or Linux. With Stock Android and Play Services it's a no-go for me unfortunatelt. Nice device, I love the concept - buy will never use the google ecosystem.
