Lack of headphone jack a deal breaker?

Yah that's what I plan to eventually.

It's a deal breaker for me.

Are you going to get a regular mate 10 then?

It's a deal breaker for me.

Any reason why tho?

How is the DAC compared to the LG v-series? And will use of the dongle adversely affect the quality coming through the DAC? Or is it effectively the same as going through a headphone jack?

The dac is inside the dongle. So get a good dongle and you will get good sound.

Ah, I had no idea. Any recommendations for a quality DAC/dongle?

Dragonfly black or red are pretty compact but unfortunately you would still need to use a usb c to a adapter.

Oh that's cool to hear.

Probably won't compare to the LG V series but I'm sure there awesome great dac dongles out there

The Pixel and Razer Dongles have like 24bit DACs. I wonder if they work cross brands.

Oh I wish they do !

I was concerned but now I have the handset, it's no issue at all. They include a set of USB-C headphones and an adapter, so I'm pretty covered.

I won't be purchasing the Mate 10 line, but the lack of a headphone jack doesn't bother me too much - it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me.

 

[Aljean Thein]

I use more bluetooth headphones than wired ones. Not a deal breaker for me.

That would be awesome if they did. Maybe someone can try it

How is the sound quality with the adapter?

It isn't a deal breaker but it is convenient when your Bluetooth set runs out of batteries.

Is the lack of headphone jack on the Mate 10 pro a deal breaker?

Nope. I miss the convenience of not having to search for my 3.5mm adapter though.

I love it with no headphone jack, I just use my sennheiser headphones via Bluetooth. I think it's a step forward. Soon all phones in the future will have no headphone jack (hopefully)
