That stuff had been on my mind for way too long.

I was considering getting a USB-C - jack dongle, but they seemed annoying to carry around, and I wanted to avoid potential damage to the USB-C port by plugging it in and out multiple times per day (USB-C still seems finicky to me for some reason)

Also, I always like to have a backup device so that I’m not locked out of everything in case something happens to my primary phone.

The device is nice so far, really impressive for the price (got it for 180€ second hand with 1 year guarantee at a second hand shop).

I see it more as a connected music/video player than anything else, and for that it serves it purpose perfectly.

    Fair enough if you’re concerned about the USB port’s durability, but for casual users like myself that is actually a viable solution. I bought one a few months back and have been surprised at how much less annoying they are to use than I thought they would be. I no longer consider the loss of 3.5 mm a major problem these days. It’s an annoyance I still consider unnecessary, but only a minor one.
