Hello,
I am looking for choice.
I use IE 80 with my smartphone (currently OnePlus 6) this is probably last phone with 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Can you guys recommend what to do?
I was thinking about:
1. Buying Fiio BTR3 for existing headphones but I've cable with remote- and I believe it will stop working plus I am not convinced I want walk with additional box- feeling messy with cables

2. Buying Fiio RC-BT, cutting MMCX connectors and soldering Sennheiser. It can work but I believe IE80 will drop drastically quality comparing to wire.

3. Find USB-C to 3.5, cut socket and headphones jack and solder together. It could work but I need USB-C to 3.5 with Hi-End DAC. Can you recommend something? also this is 'just' for android solution but I am not convinced that I will not jump to iPhone at some point.

4. Sell IE 80 and buy truly wireless earbuds- I was thinking about rha trueconnect. Do you recon the sound quality can be somehow comparable? Can you recommend any good? or the best?

I love IE 80 for sound quality. New oneplus 6t is coming in few weeks but I can't decide... any help will be appreciated. Thank you

I will say get a bluetooth dac if you want a good audio performance (well actually when there is a in line control, the sound quality is already lowered by a bit).

However, I will say that the best bet is to get a dap....

I've just tried Fiio BTR3 and. To messy. Phone volume control, then Fiio volume control, remote not working, phones EQ not working sent it back. Also while watching film with mx player i noticed additional echo.
