This actually looks really solid. I was thinking more about the traditional seashell shape, but from the functionality these are perfect. Thanks!

I’m actually considering buying larger aux headphones, taking them apart, and installing this inside so that the USB port shows on the outside. It is a little more of a project than I want, but then I could just use a USB c extension cable to connect to whatever.

Thanks, I will definitely check this out, koss looks like just the right kind of manufacturer.

Wonderful! Thanks for the list, this is exactly what I’m looking for.

Thanks for the link, that does look good.

I agree, the usb-c connection is th3bmost prone to damage. However, my real problem with the adapter is that there is a stiff part added to the cable in the worst place possible for a pocket. I constantly feel uneasy about the stresses put on the USB poet of the phone by this extra bit of cable with the AUX jack, that’s what I want to get rid of.

The adapter you linked partially solves this problem, but it’s also longer and bulkier than “just” a USB plug attached to a cable.

I’m being nitpicky about it, but only because it really is a very important detail to me

I have, I refuse to give any data or money to Alphabet, Apple, Meta, etc. as far as I can help it.

But thanks anyway.

Thanks, that retro look is actuality a great idea for a backup, they look very light and uncomplicated.

Thanks for the advice, but I already have usb c in-ear headohones from JBL. A

Thanks for the tip. I hope I can find a cable that has such a module, then finding the headphones themselves should be relatively easy.

I’m fine with rabbit holes, I’m an engineer, that’s kinda what we do all day anyway.

I’m in the EU, and thanks, linsoul looks like a good shop to search.

Thanks! This will probably be the best option for me.

Thanks, I’ll definitely take a look at them.

So am I.

Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

The anaconda is in reality a penis. Here’s the music video being referenced:

Yes. German is a Lego-block language. The example in the image is extreme, but there are lots of “combination” words like that.

For example, glove is Handschuh, which means hand-shoe. A shoe for your hand.

The stupidest. They are absolutely nutty.

I’ve also never met a squirrel that could talk. Still a funny comic.
