Name a better, more reliable port/standard

Ah, finally a VGA plug capable of transmitting a picture of OP's mom

that's a big connector

The XLR connector is better than 3.5mm in every way except for it being bigger

Stop buying shit cables, good XLR cables last forever, and the connector is goddamn indestructible

And proud.

Imagine a phone with an XLR port.

Trrs has 2 standards. Plain Trs is superior

It's worse than that, really. There's CTIA (modern Android and iPhone) vs OMTP (older devices), which reverse which of the split ground pins is ground and which is mic. Then within CTIA there's iPhone vs Android which affects the mic level and how volume buttons are signaled, if present.

3.5mm is a fragile pile of shit compared to 1/4 inch. There's a reason studio and stage equipment only uses this standard.

Never understood why people bitch about these. They can be kinda sticky in poorly manufactured sockets, but they're durable and reliable.

I love that raising feeling of dread as you put more and more force into pulling it out of its socket and anticipating slamming your hand into a case or PCI card corner.

Because of what I wrote above. Once they are in, they are IN, and some are especially tough, and once you hit the back of you hand with full force against a cpu heat sink corner you're gonna have some bad feelings about Molex.

SCART can go FUCK itself

Fuck sake, you wiggle it to remove it. No yank.

That assumes it has wiggle room, which it doesn't always have. But yes, in general wiggling is the way.

But even that requires far more force than any other connector out there. Which is fine considering it's the power connector.

If there's no space behind it to wiggle, you need to unscrew the drive or whatever, and perhaps reconsider the placement of things in your case next time.

>TRRRS
What is this used for? Balanced + mic or something?

I get this with the silver ones on $10 earbuds, but decently made gold-plated ones don't seem to have this problem.

Some media players / DACs use 2.5mm TRRS for balanced outputs with very low output impedance, to prevent accidentally plugging normal unbalanced headphones into it and shorting the amp. Seems to work well enough.

3.5mm plugs break all the time... Probably the most broken port I've ever encountered

The ones I've handled don't feel like ABS at all, more like some kind of fiber reinforced nylon.

You really feel it's worse than USB mini or micro?

B A L A N C E D

The quarter inch jack is the most based audio jack. 4.4mm is also based but we need to put it on more phones, computers and shit instead of 3.5mm. 3.5mm is too fragile. I feel like I'm gonna break it.

No.
Not exactly airtight either which can result in degradation over time. Loudspeaker connectors, Speakon excluded, tends to suffer similar issues.

Lightning is Unironically Pretty Based for Digital Audio

wut

I've unironically never had a micro break on me. The only time was when the entire connector off a chink DIY keyboard came off the PCB at the soldered contacts. That's even with replugging my phones several times a day since I worked as mobile dev

Galaxy S7 has a 3.5 mm jack and is IP68 or whatever. I've gotten mine wet plenty of times and the headphone jack works fine. Remember, just because Apple bitches that they can't solve the problem doesn't mean it's impossible.

As someone who uses Android and MicroUSB, Lightning is physically a nice connector. I don't like the cables Apple makes, and the """security""" chip in it is plain retarded, but the connector is nice.

I've had MicroUSB cables and connectors get loose over time. They still work, they just slide out of the port easily.

He means how the terminals of a TRS or TRRS plug short the terminals of the jack together briefly as you insert or remove the plug.

Cringe.

underrated comment.

Quarter-inch jack.
It's like 3.5mm, except better in every possible way.

I like it. It's simple.
A rectangle that goes into a hole. That's all that's necessary.
Not a rectangle with a hole in it that goes in to a hole with a rectangle in it (a la USB).

I just wish it wasn't proprietary.

The problem here is that while waterproofing is possible with these sorts of ports, it's better to get rid of them because of wear and tear. The waterproofing isn't really poised to last if you're constantly wearing down one of the weakest points.
This is the same reason the S5 was the last to have a removable back. The S5 was "waterproof," yes, but that waterproofing wore off FAST depending on how often you took that back off.
It's not about whether or not it's possible; it's about how long it lasts.

That's all fine until you get a TV where the connector is in a recessed part with less than 1 inch of space surrounding it

I know about replacement 3.5mm plugs but that doesn't change the fact that it's way easier to fix XLR than 3.5mm

The perfect 240v standard for the US.

Shitty headphones do break a lot, if you're walking around with this in your pocket. But I think that's more a fault of greedy chink manufacturers saving last $0.1 on the cable. I never had this problem on decent headphones, only on cheap shit.

Remember when Apple used a non standard headphone jack?

Just another port that you're never going to see in real life

The waterproofing is around the jack, not in the part you put the plug in, so plugging and unplugging doesn't wear the gasket.

That could actually work, provided you move the contact that touches the hot terminal far enough in that it only touches when it's fully inserted, and will never touch that terminal while it's in contact with the neutral one. During insertion, neutral is shorted to ground, which is not really an issue. It would also be impossible to shock yourself on if you touch the metal part during plugging or unplugging, unlike normal US NEMA plugs.

Getting ones with a right angle plug greatly increase the lifespan of both plug and socket if you put it in your pants pocket.
