I just use an aux cord into the headphone jack. Easy peasy.
- jandrese 5y agoFinding a phone with a headphone jack that isn't some low end garbage is becoming harder and harder each year.
- dmos62 5y agoI'm using a 200 eur Xiaomi Redmi with a 3.5mm jack and I'm very happy with it. Battery lasts me around 5 days. Why is it garbage?
- coldpie 5y agoIn truth, I use a USB-C/Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter. It lives on the car's aux cord.
- ghostly_s 5y agodoes someone sell one of these that survives more than 10 disconnect cycles now?
- coldpie 5y agoNo. I buy a new handful every couple months. It sucks. My latest batch is from some brand called Insignia and so far has lasted one month without issues, but I'll be surprised if they don't fail soon. Previously tried Apple and Anker, both failed in a small number of months. I've considered wrapping the thing in heat-shrink tubing to give it some rigidity and protect the nano-scale-wires they're using in there, but haven't got any handy. I'd love a phone with a real jack, but phones just aren't made for me anymore.
- Moru 5y agoJust buy a cheap phone with an audio jack and use that one dedicated for the car. No need for the latest greatest for playing music on the go...
- slaman 5y agoNow you've introduced either a caching problem or a data subscription with a myriad of other trade-offs and I don't think either of those are less trouble than bluetooth.
- Moru 5y agoAh, forgot about the new way of not owning your music but renting it. I'm still a bit old fashioned and prefer to own my music so the artist can't just take it away when they feel like it.
- singingboyo 5y ago> some brand called Insignia Isn't that just Best Buy's store brand?
- causi 5y agoI've been happy with my Ugreen 3.5mm+charge adapter for about six months now. It looks rather dumb but works perfectly.
- kube-system 5y agoYou can always use a lightning/usb-c to 3.5mm cable.
