No, Sean. Giving the dongle for lower quality sound doesn’t make it ok.

It was the inclusion of decent quality headphones that makes it less bad for me.

Anything through USB-C is going to make it lesser quality sound though, regardless of the headphones.

USB-C is an inferior transference for digital music. 3.5 mm jacks are t the best, but deliver a more lossless sound than USB-C or Bluetooth could hope to.

Isn't this going to be wholly dependent on the DAC the device or headphones are using, and not the physical jack?

It entirely. The transfer device is about the signal - a nice analog curve with the 3.5 mm, compared to a series of digital cuts pushed via USB-C or Bluetooth

I mean, the music isn't magically appearing as analog on the 3.5mm jack though. It's digital cuts right in the phone before it hits the converter in front of the 3.5mm socket.

Good point, but you lose even more through the USB conversion.

Do you though? The earphones themselves are USB, so it's basically just a question of whether the DAC in the earphones is as good as the one that would have been in the phoen

Also allegedly the earbuds are actually digital? Not familiar enough with the tech to understand if that's actually possible or just marketing, but they do claim that it's actually higher fidelity FWIW

Are these earbuds or over the ear phones?
