            And you’d wrong again, because all mayor manufacturers offer affordable wireless headphones as well. You can get a decent pair for as low as $20 and great wireless headphones with active noise cancelling for $50.

              I got a question thought.

              I’m using heaphones made for the best audio quality, i use a quarter jack to my audio card or, for my phone, just add an adapter to 3.5.

              But my phone is getting old, is it possible to keep a good audio quality, and the heaphones wich sound i like, but through bluetooth?

              Because i’ve never experienced any good bluetooth converter, and neither did i found any good bluetooth headphones, and let’s be honest i kinda don’t want to buy a new expensive one after getting mine wich was already pretty expensive…

                My $200 bluetooth earbuds are adequate at best but in no way compare to my Sony wired studio monitors that cost half the price. I paid for wireless for work calls hands free.

                They wireless is nice for a quick walk to the grocery store or something outside, but if I am wanting to really listen to music I plug in.

                You want a bluetooth DAC. FiiO makes some decent ones. Only downside might be audio latency, but the quality should be there for budget audiophile headphones like the HD6XX

                  Audio latency isn’t a priority for me, and since you mentioned it i’ve looked into the codec available (both on the phone i want and the dac) and it seems like FiiO is a very good option.

                  Thank you very much for the recommendation.

                  That won’t give good quality because the phone sending the signal to the DAC is sending a poor quality signal. Sending a poor quality signal to a high quality DAC won’t give you good audio.

                  However, all OP needs is just going to be a usb-c to 3.5mm audio jack to plug his headphones into. It will have pinouts for analog signal within the USB-C (USB c standard is specd to include analog stereo).

                  The issue still remains that most phones have a lower quality DAC. Ones that are only good enough to provide good quality for bluetooth devices. The last phone line I know of that had a really good DAC built in there the LG V series phones (v20, v30, v40, v50).

                    How exactly would it be poor quality? You do understand that there are multiple codecs to choose from using Bluetooth, right? The codec impacts both quality and latency. Also, Bluetooth is a digital signal. The signal either gets sent or it doesn’t, so whether the signal is “quality” should not matter.

          9/10ths of the 2/3 of the phones that have jacks are low tier cheapo phones. Only a few of the higher end specd android phones have audio jacks. The boost mobile phone you get from Walmart for $49 has the audio jack.
