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.
