    I cannot for the life of me get any of those dongles to work for more than 6 months. It always turns into a glitchy disconnecting mess.

      i had a friend that got a new phone and half of the conversations we had was about how much the usbc to jack adaptors break

      like he would have to buy then every week and they looked pretty expensive

      also he couldnt go back to his old phone cause the screen was so screwed up part of it was black and the rest would be brighter than a lightbulb

        I normally use bluetooth headphones so I don’t use the adapters enough to have any that broke yet. I keep a pair of wired headphones as a backup, and sometimes I want to connect my phone to old speakers, so the adapter is useful in those cases.

        I guess if you’re using that adapter every day it might indeed break faster.

        However where I live you can find them at the dollar store for something like $4.

          yeah, since his thing broke basically every week he probably was using it every night. also that is very cheap. i live in brazil so prices are way higher (R$15 is the cheapest i found online, so in a local store or with the shipping cost itd be at least R$25 but probably even higher)
