i have to replace my phone soon and they won't sell me anything with an audio jack, but like i have all these perfectly good headphones around i want to be able to still use--all else aside, being Unable to Use Headphone if bluetooth doesn't feel like working today is a stupid problem to have. and i refuse to live that way.
so i go on Amazon to find out how much a USB-C-to-aux dongle costs.
turns out it runs you between 3 and 12 dollars generally. but also i found this:
'allows you to listen to your music and charge your phone at the same time!' amazing! a solution to a problem that did not exist a subjective five minutes ago!
and which could go back to not existing if you would just return the stupid sound jack.
I'm not sure if it was just poor quality workmanship of the one I got but my personal experience with these devices is that they absolutely do not actually Work, to add insult to injury.
when attempting to use it to charge there's a static buzz through the aux jack when you plug headphones in that completely drowned out the audio.
