Hi there, I’m thinking about getting my first pair of IEMs, as I’ve never had any before and would like to have a wired option that is easy to travel with. I’m specifically looking at the Moondrop Chu 2 as they seem quite affordable and a good starting point.
However my phone does not have AUX anymore (Pixel 7A) and I doubt I’ll get a phone that has one in the future as I want to continue to use GrapheneOS.
Does anyone have any experience regarding the use of these dongles. Is there something I should be aware of before doing a purchase?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I see on the pictures(website link) that it’s possible to purchase this with an adapter between the dongle and the IEMs. Is this strictly necessary?
The audio quality of a USB to headphone jack can vary wildly as they need to contain their own DAC (digital->analoge converter), tbh most are probably good enough for most people but depending on your headphone setup you may be able to tell. (Depending how much you spend they can actually have better audio quality than a normal phones headphone jack)
Edit: Fiio makes a pretty nice one, but not the cheapest on the block
For the price, the iPhone dongle is also pretty damn good too.
I haven’t read such an incorrect statement since someone said “I think Liz Truss will be great for the British economy”
Not sure why you’re so confident about that. I’m not the only person who says this, not even in this thread.
