I see a lot of people complaining that the Fairphone 6 doesn’t have an Aux jack.

Just use an adapter cable.

A 3.5mm Aux jack takes up a significant amount of space just to connect a few wires that could be connected through USB-C anyway, that space could be used for a bigger battery.

Even if there was a good enough reason to keep Aux it should be 2.5mm Aux and not the usual 3.5 as it does exactly the same thing but uses less space

      I’ve tried something like that in the past and found them less reliable than the FM transmitters. But I suppose that was a while ago and maybe the tech has changed enough that the affordable ones work well.

      Still not willing to spend twenty dollars on cheap plastic when that money could be spent on 2 days of food or something that I don’t already have a cheap solution for. I paid less than $10 for this cord over a decade ago and it still works fine.

      Yeah the Bluetooth is convenient, but I don’t think forcing people to that platform is a solution. Also Bluetooth still has inherent issues. It’s never 100%. My audio doesn’t hiccup or start cutting out unless I unplug or damage my wire. I’ve never accidentally plugged the wire into someone else’s speaker. I don’t have to reset, or look up passwords for my wire before I can plug it in.

        Oh, for sure. I use a wired connection everywhere I care about sound quality. You just said you would like to ditch the wires and I thought I would provide a semi-inexpensive way to do so.
