GlocksRock Audioholic Spartan Oct 28, 2005 6,275 0 113 Charlotte, NC Jul 13, 2021 #1 I just replaced my Samsung Note9 with a new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and now I no longer have a headphone jack. I don't use it all the time, but when I want to use my phone to listen to hi-res music and use my headphone amp I'm no longer able to. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to a quality adapter, or if they are pretty much all the same and I should just get a cheap one? I was looking at one from Anker, as I've used their products in the past and have been happy.

USB-C to 3.5mm has 3-4 different flavours and as expected Apple's one is only fits Apple devices. The issue this isn't just a wire, but there is actual DAC inside that tiny cable. @GlocksRock - Go with your gut feeling and get an Anker adapter, but make sure it is fitting for Samsung devices, like this one: Amazon.com: Anker USB C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter, Male to Female Nylon Cable for Samsung S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, Pixel 4/+ 4XL, and More Type C Devices: Electronics Buy Anker USB C to 3.5mm Audio Adapter, Male to Female Nylon Cable for Samsung S20/S20+/S20 Ultra, Pixel 4/+ 4XL, and More Type C Devices: USB Cables - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases www.amazon.com Reactions: its phillip
