  We can but hope. I have a dongle that plugs into my charging point to make it a headphone jack, but it’s not the same

    I recently went through that dongle buying experience. Having to get the correct DAC and amplifier chipset so the sound won’t be too low is annoying. For the record I ended up going with one that has the CX31993 DAC and the MAX97220 amplifier. It is a bit louder than my first impulsive buy, but I haven’t tested the microphone yet.

  No thanks, i’ve broken every single one. A dap with bluetooth receiver works better.

    What do you do to break them?

    In my forties and never broken a headphone jack, headphones, cable, or in fact anything like that. I tend to take care of my stuff and not treat it in such a way as I’m going to break it.

      Put it in my jeans pocket and move about my day as usual. Cycling broke them in a year, reliably.

    But the presence of a headphone jack doesn’t prevent you from using Bluetooth?

      It doesn’t and for many people the jack dying isn’t an issue.
