USB-C headphones? Why not throw in a real 3.5 mm port? For me it's not just about having to use a dongle: USB-C doesn't provide a reliable enough connection for a wearable device.
- yummypaint 7y agoYeah for me this instantly kills any possibility of seriously considering buying one.
- rtkwe 7y agoKeeping component count low? To do a 3.5mm jack you have to include a DAC of some sort. USB-C headphones come with their own.
- kozak 7y agoTypically, USB-C headphones don't have a DAC, they just pass analog audio through the USB-C connector.
- rtkwe 7y agoThat depends a lot on the headphones and phone you're using there's annoyingly no real way to know exactly what usb-c audio method your phone and headphones are using and there are some annoying incompatibilities. Either way they can use the USB-C jack to send digital data to headphones and cheaper ones just won't work because they're built for the analog passthrough version of usb-c audio.
