Hi there, I’m thinking about getting my first pair of IEMs, as I’ve never had any before and would like to have a wired option that is easy to travel with. I’m specifically looking at the Moondrop Chu 2 as they seem quite affordable and a good starting point.
However my phone does not have AUX anymore (Pixel 7A) and I doubt I’ll get a phone that has one in the future as I want to continue to use GrapheneOS.
Does anyone have any experience regarding the use of these dongles. Is there something I should be aware of before doing a purchase?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I see on the pictures(website link) that it’s possible to purchase this with an adapter between the dongle and the IEMs. Is this one in specific strictly necessary or can I go with a smaller/cheaper one?
Edit 2: Further investigation, it seems like these can come in two variants: 3.5jack and USB-C.
That should not happen under normal circumstances. It happens to me sometimes and I clean my USB port and it’s good.
It could be the dongle connector also.
I acknowledge it is an additional annoyance not present with just a straight 3.5mm connection.
