You must not run

They're heavier, and I already have trouble with them falling out. The thing I'll keep going back to on this is how they can't fit it in a thin phone without giving up battery life. Hey guys! Try making the fucking thing a little thicker! -- Drew

So people who do run, or take the train, or use headphones while eating lunch, or the thousand other use cases where people use headphones with their phones, should just suck it up and use the thing that's convenient for you? ;-) -- Drew

My comments sprang mainly from a conversation I had on Google+ where a rabid TRSSer was challenging people to name ONE thing that was made better with a jack, so I responded essentially that it was a zero net change for me as far as I was concerned, but if it gave the manufacturers more room to work with for stuff like AR or made it easier to waterproof then I counted that as a positive. I listen to music from my phone all the time using Bluetooth or the Lightning cable. That said, I don't see the problem with the dongle per se if you do want to use headphones.

Wouldn'cha Think? (As por moi.. were I to sleuth-out the necessary decent-DACs + conversion-App as seem to exist,) for extracting truly HIGH-fidelity reproduction of 'KDFC'-web Classical material: I too would USE my i6S PHONE JACK appropriately (and likely care at some point too: that this is ALSO a MIC-input,) as might become useful if I wanted to get KDFC where ... no FM-signal survives AND also thus use a DECENT mic! for just phone usage. Because Fidelity rocks. Period. Jeez, I wonder what the science~iggerant masses do? when confronting this small-clusterfuck, also see the Consternation which a casual/CAREless 'decision' by Timmy-boy: does to their Own sensibilities?

Like this, but seen mainly in the Helsinki Metro. Dunno if they still are, but the Somalis at least used to be the largest group here to wear veils like that, hence the name. Also, wrapping it that way around seems a lot better for breathing. -- Christian R. Conrad Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi (Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail...
