Wouldn't be so bad if USB-C audio wasn't such a mess. On the iPhone you buy Lightning headphones and they work, or you buy a Lightning to headphone adaptor and it works. Not on Android.

How are you breaking headphone jacks :/
I've never broken a single one
No idea, never happened before and I barely used it.
How do you mean? I'm curious...
Also, anyone have any idea how big the 6T is going to be? Any chance it'll be smaller than the 6?
Because the 6 and loads of other new phones are too damn big, that's why
Apparently the 6T is slightly thicker than the 6.
A 4000mah battery would ease the pain of losing the hp jack.
The battery is fine as is. I'm getting 6hrs SoT on average.
It happened to my Z3c too. It's a very common problem just google it. Who cares what bluetooth sounds like... it's used for watching movies/youtube/listening to mp3s.. not high definition audio. If you have a really good set of headphones then why would you carry them around to use with your phoneI honestly can't see how you could break a headphone jack. Throughout all my phones and even my old iPod classic I've never had a headphone jack break
And bluetooth, lol. It sounds grim. No comparison... Besides the point, I have a really good set of wired headphones, I don't want to replace them because somebody decided I should.. Especially when I'm paying that somebody £500+ for a phone.
then use them at home. Couldn't think of anything worse than carrying headphones around. Earphones all the way.
I've only had small Pixel size phones or HTC, I like the look of 6 or 6T and would be all over it if they did a small version. Headphone jack is only an issue for me as you can't charge and listen at the same time (unless bluetooth headphones). You can get bit perfect audio out from USB, what matters is the quality of DAC used. I've never used a USB to jack converter before but it's a non-issue for me.
Can't you just leave it plugged into the headset, you're presumably already carrying around a headset?

I just leave my Lightning to jack adapter/DAC attached to my headphones. Removal of the headphone socket on phones I found to be less of an issue than I previously thought.
The battery life has taken a hit since the OnePlus 5 due to the bigger screen. I'd rather the battery was larger given the screen size. And who wouldn't prefer a bigger battery.

It's ridiculous. It's why you don't see USB C audio cables (and headphones) as often as lightning. Companies would have so many returns, as people would just assume that because their phone has a USB C port, it'll work. Wrong.
On the iPhone, it's not so bad not having a headphone jack, because all lightning ones work on all iPhones with a lightning connector.
It ****** me off beyond belief.
Well, when I say headphones I mean earphones. Good ones with Comply tips. I only use a pair of headphones at work because it's easier to slip on/off during the day. So, to answer your question I carry my earphones around all day because I commute on the tube... In my life the best time I get to listen to music is on my commute. Not ideal, but Comply tips help massively and I still get a relatively decent experience. At home I listen to my hifi (speakers). I also don't know why anyone carries around headphonesWho cares what bluetooth sounds like... it's used for watching movies/youtube/listening to mp3s.. not high definition audio. If you have a really good set of headphones then why would you carry them around to use with your phone
As above. Yes I am. But I don't like carrying around things I don't need to.
Blimey. Sounds like a total mess. How do you know if you're using the phone's DAC or some crappy one on your usb-c dongle?
Ugh...

Yeah that's exactly the problem
But then Android has the benefit of natively supporting LDAC as of Android Pie I believe, which looks to improve Bluetooth audio quite a bit (for the headphones that support it)
I'm really happy using USB C for audio, but I need to have a cable that goes direct from headphones to my phone (built in DAC, like the M&D cables) and a decent pair of USB C earphones. Having been given an S8, it's made me realise even more how much I miss it
