I see a lot of people complaining that the Fairphone 6 doesn’t have an Aux jack.
Just use an adapter cable.
A 3.5mm Aux jack takes up a significant amount of space just to connect a few wires that could be connected through USB-C anyway, that space could be used for a bigger battery.
Even if there was a good enough reason to keep Aux it should be 2.5mm Aux and not the usual 3.5 as it does exactly the same thing but uses less space
Idk how you’re getting your jack dirty. I guess if you go mudding outdoors, but then your USB C port would have the same issue.
Also, if the earbuds aren’t in-ears, aren’t they just clip-ons or headphones? I think buds by definition go inside your ears
Dusty warehouse environment. Even with my phone staying in my pocket most of the time; it collects dust in the ports and has to be cleaned regularly. I’m glad I only have one port to clean now.
Sure, but nobody said you can only use wireless buds. If you don’t like in-ear style headphones/buds try a different style.
These used to by my wired earbuds of choice; I swapped the replaceable cable with a usb c one. There’s also a bluetooth cable/adapter you can buy.
I haven’t actually used them much though because I primarily switched to some wireless Raycons 2-3 ago years now. They’ve been fantastic and I’ve gotten so used to being untethered from my phone that I don’t think I’d ever go back.
8-10 hrs of runtime and only about 20min to charge; More often than not, I’m only wearing one anyway, so one charges while the other plays audio. Swap as necessary or listen to both and take an occasional break (which is good for you anyway). They charge in the case whenever not being used, and the case wirelessly charges whenever its on my bedside table, or from usb c if you ever needed it. I’ve yet to kill all three batteries, even with continuous use all day long.
You might want to look into these for the USB port:

They also have them for aux jacks and other ports, for those using headphones.
Hope you’re masking up too
Edit: the Sony’s are wired. Thanks either way since I’ve been looking for something like that but wired, didn’t know they were still made
Edit2: nvm, they indeed don’t make them anymore
