What an elegant solution

jesus that's arguably worse than apple

I wonder if it will at least be decent. Amir measured few dongles and they all turned out to be complete shit. Funny considering one argument for dropping jacks was "b-but you can have better quality with dongle dac"

that's among the stupider things I've seen lately, specially at a $150 price-tag. oh goodie I want to listen to music but wait I forgot my stupid modular headphone jack thingy so I can't. it's just silly.

As for the outragous price, I'm pretty sure you can get a really good music player that doesn't need a phone to operate for much less, there's plenty of really godo ones at $40-50.

good news is that this Elementary company wil probably be bankrupt and gone within a year.

They're going to replace USB with a shitty contraption like this.

So they came out with a $150 headphone attachment for an already dead phone? Wow.

What the fuck is "wireless usb"?

OH NONONONONONO

to make money you have to sell your product

>$140 for a dongle
And they said Apple's dongle was bad. (PS: Google's dongle is more expensive than Apple's)

A brilliant solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

The type c spec allows for analog audio to be muxed onto its pins. Type c -> trrs can be 100% passive, plus there's pins left over to allow for charging at the same time.

>DLC comes to hardware

It was only a matter of time. We really need to put these rent seeking fucks to the sword. Nobody will, of course-- but we need to.

I think that's their motto, and mission statement.

>(((andy rubin)))
just a coincidence

this is retarded. you can buy a USB-C>Aux for cheaper. I still don't get why we are removing headphone jacks. It's completely unnecessary

>I still don't get why we are removing headphone jacks
The practice is called "muntzing".
And it's very profitable especially after a product type has attained a set price that the public is accustomed to paying for said product.

Andy Rubin should just stick to harassing women, clearly his efforts in that has gained higher ROI than what ever he did with Essential

There is a WiUSB standard and it's meaningless because this is just a dongle. You can't take advantage of the phone's built-in DAC, which is usually quite good and comparable to portable DACs worth hundreds of dollars.

Fucking jews, it's just like circumcision: they cut your foreskin (jack) at birth and charge you for that. Then they make bank again by selling you foreskin regeneration treatment (dongles and this)

I mean you're going to carry those wired headphones anyway, just plug the splitter on the end of them and forget about it?

It'd be great if it was built into a case or wasnt so ugly.
