Need a Durable USB-C to Headphone Jack Adapter!

You might want to think about switching to a phone that still has a headphone jack. There are some options out there; just filter by features you need on sites like gsmarena. If that’s not an option, using a separate audio device like an MP3 player or a small tablet could be a good move too.

Definitely consider getting a good DAC! They can provide better sound quality with your studio headphones. I use a DDHiFi DAC myself, and it’s super durable. It’s held up well for over two years without any issues. Just make sure it’s a well-reviewed model so you don’t end up with a flimsy one.

Honestly, suggesting cheaper alternatives when your main issue is durability doesn’t really help. I understand you want something that lasts. Have you checked other delivery options that might have better shipping reliability in your area?

I get your frustration! A lot of USB-C to 3.5mm adapters out there are built poorly. I'd recommend looking into the ddHiFi TC35 Pro Eye or the Cayin RU6. Both are known for their sturdy build and come with great DACs, perfect for your studio headphones. They range from about €50 to €150, but considering your situation, it’s worth the investment for durability and sound quality.

Check out some of the cheaper DACs online! You can find options for under $10 even on sites like AliExpress. I’ve had a similar one that doesn’t need drivers and simply plugs in—just be mindful of the delivery time and package thefts in your area!
