How bad does the USB-C to AUX dongle ruin audio quality? (self.asklemmy)

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.

I love how the 3.5 mm connector is now called aux

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's true, though.

I mean, it isn't. The same way usb-c will never be "an android charger" no matter how many times people say it.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have literally never heard someone refer to usb-c as an android charger

[–] maxprime@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Do you have a charger?

Yeah, Android or iPhone?

That’s how I hear it the most.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I heard that more commonly referring to Micro USB but, yeah, most people used to ask what phone you have, not what cable.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To me, the charger will always be the wall brick.

[–] B312@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s a transformer silly

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

If you want to get technical, the charger is built into the phone. You're just connecting it to power..

Wooops, guilty as charged 😅
