So it’s nice that fairphone wants to be sustainable and all that, but I get the sense that the USB-C port is just not sturdy enough for daily use of wired headphones. Two months of casual but frequent music listening with it in my pocket and it’s already starting to glitch out constantly.
These headphones do not even have buttons, but the FP4 constantly thinks it’s receiving inputs to change the volume, play/pause, and skip songs whenever the USB-C/AUX dongle is inserted.
What do I do here?
I already tried removing and reassembling the USB-C port, in case a contact was loose, but that did nothing.
Should I try to replace it with a new one? Or try a better aux adapter? Or just accept that smartphone manufacturers want us all to not use wired headphones anymore?
I’m guessing there’s already a stack of complaints about it somewhere, but I’m going to yell into the void and say I really wish they’d bring back the aux input. Sure you want to save real estate, but that’s much more useful than a wide-angle camera if you ask me.
