I feel completely put out by the smartphone market when it comes to music listening these days. I care a lot about audio quality, and I run a lot. This means two problems:
1. Bluetooth headphones usually have shit audio quality, and too little battery life for someone who listens as much as I do.
2. I have yet to use a phone in the last 8+ years that I didn't destroy the 3.5mm jack on over the course of <1 year of running. The same thing is clearly applying to the USB-C adapter on my Pixel 2. It frequently needs to be removed and plugged back in mid-run.
It feels like I don't have any options here. Anyone have any good tips? Particularly for a Pixel 2? Is there maybe a better aftermarket adapter?
