Something like this? https://www.headphonezone.in/products/ddhifi-tc35b-type-c-to-3-5mm This costs $55 in India.
Or like this I just ordered? This costs $3 in India.
For the moment I'm on a budget so DACs are not in my budget. They seem fun though, and I do love my hi-fi so, who knows, may be worth?
The latter image, I used dongles like that. They broke within months and I had tried multiple brands, I soured on them a few brands deep.
If you are tired, the first one could be a good investment. It is one piece of metal. Also, maybe adjusting phone in pocket is a complementary hack?
I am stepping in the dongle world for the first time, and am anxious, because I was so used to SD card and 3.5 jack, but did not want the same 8MP potato ultrawide after 5 years of early adoption. I will find and invent ways of making the 3.5 dongle last.
I did for a long time settle for adjusting the phone in the pocket, even putting things in there to change the position of the phone, but no, it never helped much. I'll look in to getting it or something like it, thanks so much!
It was sad, yes, but I found that the dongle I already used for my laptop worked a charm with my phone. Sometimes plug in a keyboard and SD cards. Somehow handles it. I only really used an SD card for cameras and portable recording devices.
I think my needs in audio are mostly driven by my career. If I was not a music-person I would not need wired earphones. The driving factor of my having them is that I could pull them out of my phone and work on my laptop very quickly. BT headphones just had too much latency and not the best soundstage or frequency response...
