JSAUX USB Type C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter, USB...

Most Helpful Review

"UPDATE: I have changed my review from two stars to four stars. I will note that JSAUX offered me a full refund for my order but I did not accept the refund. I ordered an official SAMSUNG adapter DAC that had verifiable measurements online for quality and found that this hiss was also present to a similar degree. While this continues to annoy me, the hiss is inherent to using a small form factor dongle DAC and does not reflect the quality of this JSAUX product which is functional in all other aspects.I recently upgraded phones and lost my 3.5 mm port so I was looking for a durable adapter with decent audio quality. This adapter certainly works as my IEMs run well off them with enough power/volume without any significant coloration of the sound. The build quality is quite good with the braided cable, solid housing, and secure 3.5 mm port.But the HISS. There is a low grade hiss constantly present in the background whenever the DAC is enabled. It is not particularly noticeable when music is actively playing but when a song stops, you can clearly hear the hiss. Then since the DAC doesn't detect any audio output, it shuts off, and you then hear complete silence so I know it's the DAC causing the issue. This means every time a song ends and new one begins, it's hiss -> silence -> hiss -> music. There are no other devices around that could be causing electrical interference causing a hiss like this. It is not ignorable for me and really impairs my listening experience.I suppose if you have low grade hearing damage, it might be tolerable but for high quality listening? This is not it. I will be shelling out more money for a better engineered DAC dongle and would recommend any potential buyers do the same."
