Seriously, this. I can’t help but wonder if OP owns a bunch of Samsung stock or something. Or maybe they’re a naive Samsung employee who thinks they’ll score brownie points with their manager by convincing redditors on r/Samsung to shill with them. This is a hilariously stupid post.

When Samsung starts making tablets that are better than the iPad then sure, we should recommend the Samsung tablet. Why would you recommend a product to someone unless you actually believe it’s a better product?

What kind of question even is this? This is a discussion forum, not a Samsung employees club or Samsung investors club. Are you suggesting we should lie to people and pretend all Samsung products are always our favorite? Are you a Samsung employee?

I think Samsung makes a lot of good products but I’m not going to pretend they’re the best if they’re not. I’m in this sub only because i own some Samsung products and I’m interested in what the company is doing etc. Not because I worship Samsung.

I think Samsung should make a tablet that is better than the iPad pro. When that happens, I’ll recommend the Samsung tablet. It’s pretty simple. This question is hilarious.

I still miss it and I resent having been forced to abandon it. I’ve used USB-C to Aux adapters before and they work okay. But my gripe with those (which may end up being a problem for you when you’re on your runs) is that the adapter introduces another potential point of disconnect.

In the good ol’ days with a simple headphone jack, you’d maybe every now and then check to see if the jack is fully inside the slot, and often the jacks were shaped such that all you had to do was push them inward from the flat top with one finger.

My experience with the dongles has been a lot more annoying. I’ve got twice as many (2 vs 1) connections to check, and (in the ones I’ve used) they don’t have that nice shape where you can just push it inward with one finger. It’s a both hands maneuver.

So I guess when you’re shopping for adapters, maybe try and look for something that has some kind of locking mechanism. Hopefully that exists, I doubt it though. I have a feeling you might find that Bluetooth headphones work better for your runs than any adapter solution that’s available.

Anyway I have given up on adapters for the most part and keep them around as a last resort in case i get fed up with Bluetooth in some situation. But Bluetooth headphones have been good for the most part. I miss the simplicity of just plugging in headphones and knowing they’ll work–Bluetooth devices are not necessarily always that reliably easy to connect. I have noticed that they seem to be getting more reliable and consistent though. I’m largely satisfied with Bluetooth headphones. But I don’t think I’ll ever not be mad that this choice was made for me against my will.
