Hi guys,
Wondering how / if people are using their wired earbuds with the new iphone or pixel 2, both lacking a 3.5mm input?
Likely to be standard on most new phones in a short while..

Have a sennheiser IE80 w/ null-audio cable that I would like to use and am due for a phone upgrade!

They would just plug it into the dongle...Apple has a short cable that is Lightning Connector Male > 3.5mm jack. It looks annoying and it uses it's own little DAC which is arguably crap but it works.

The AptX dongle looks promising. I can't find anywhere to order or see a price however, including the "buy now" button on that link which is dead.
Any idea / anyone else?

Because it's so new Fiio posted on their FB page last week that they've only started shipping out of the factory then. Can't you wait a couple of weeks for ships to arrive and containers to go through Customs?
