I recently bought a Samsung phone and was shocked to find it doesn't have a headphone jack. I think it's a ploy to push wireless headphones, but anyway, I've gone through three different adapters in just four weeks, and they all broke or started cutting out. It's super frustrating! Has anyone found a specific adapter that lasts longer than a week? I'd really appreciate any recommendations!

When it comes to adapters, are you specifically looking for DACs? The cheap ones usually have poor quality. I tried a £50 one that got good reviews, but it was terrible. Recently, I got a Fiio KA15, and it's pretty solid. I could have used my Fiio E17, but it’s a bit bulky.
Have you considered Bluetooth headphones instead? They offer a lot of convenience nowadays!
Honestly, given my experience, I'm not a fan of wireless. My friend's son passed from a brain tumor, and it freaks my family out. Plus, I have wired headphones already, and Bluetooth doesn’t work with my laptop.
Buying a Samsung without a headphone jack? That’s a bummer! It seems like everyone is copying Apple since they ditched the jack on iPhones.
I've had success with the Uconnect UBC to 3.5mm converter; it worked well on a few phones without issues. You might want to give that one a try!
Can I ask which model you actually used? All my adapters seem to break fast.
Thanks! I'm going to order the KA15 and keep my fingers crossed that it lasts longer than the others. It’s such a hassle!
