When I got my Pixel 3, I found it super annoying to have to carry around a dongle, I have a handful of headphones in the car, home, office, etc. Finally I just bought a half-dozen USB-C->headphone dongles, one for each headphone and keep the dongle on the headphones all the time.
I'm still annoyed that I can't charge and use headphones at the same time (I have a different dongle with a charge port that I use on the plane), but other than that, it's not so bad. Still annoying that I had to pay $60 to use my phone the way I want to, but with so many phones dropping the headphone jack, I gave up trying to resist. (I'm still resisting moving to bluetooth headphones, I can never remember to keep them charged)
Dongles are available on Amazon for as low as a few dollars, but I couldn't tell which ones were good and which were junk, even the Google branded ones had reviews saying they were not legitimate Google branded, so I bought the $9 ones off Apple's website, which work fine on my Pixel.
- Bedon292 7y agoWhat dongle do you use on the plane? Hadn't found one yet that was definitely going to work on the Pixel 3.
- Johnny555 7y agoI got this one on the advice of a coworker: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B07GSZ124H&ref=is_s https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B07GSZ124H&ref=is_s It works ok, but charging is slow, it keeps my phone from discharging while watching a movie, but it barely charges (like it would if plugged directly into a USB cable)
