@benjancewicz Aren't there USB-C Adapters?

If you can find one that actually works, pls tell me 😑

Mostly using BT but sometimes you need a headphone jack. Bought one of the best reviewed USB-C adapters, and it's still shit and adds tons of annoying noise and cracking that my previous phone headphones jack never did.

@xro @OxKing @benjancewicz Also, can't charge your phone while you use it.

Well.. in theory you can with the one I bought, but you have to plug stuff in in the correct order for it to work and even then 8 out of 10 times, charging adds a ton of noise, again.

These adapters are also often terrible in keeping EM noise out. Usage in a e.g. car is often impossible.

@xro @OxKing @benjancewicz I'm using a HIDIZS S3 PRO, works perfectly fine for me.

To be fair, I tested the adapter in another friends car today and it worked perfectly fine, as the audio cable was very short. Really seems to be an EMI issue. But only as long as I don't want to charge the phone with a car charger at the same time, that just adds unbearable noise.
