really? no headphone jack?

[ansa82]

Wow I guess we really didn't research this phone at all...so there is no headphone jack? Is that what the dongle included is? Is that easy to find and buy another? I just know that's gonna be lost

If the phone comes with an USB-C adapter, then yeah, it's a fairly common (if not too cheap) item to find, but I'd suggest you go the BT route. It's gonna be better down the road, and whether we like it or not, that's where most devices are going: No audio jack.

Thanks...What is the "BT" route?

Bluetooth headphones/devices.

I shall resist. Bluetooth for conversations not music.

Then stock up on USB-C adapters hehe. I hope it doesn't go away either (still like the idea of not running out of battery and still be able to listen to music) but the audio jack does seem to have its days numbered.

"Sans headphone jack" seems to be a growing trend among smartphones manufacturers. The next phone I'm getting won't have one - I guess I'll see how well I can adapt... LOOL that wasn't meant as a pun, but still...

No headphone jack.

Yes. Welcome to the dongle life.

Yes - if you shop online.

I picked up a few extra official Moto brand dongle USB-C to aux adapters on Amazon for a couple bucks each. There are other brands available, but the Moto brand adapters are not hard to find if you want some spares.

Bluetooth is fine with either aptx hd or ldac

Problem is the Z2 Force doesn't support neither of those only A2DP and aptX.

What are you talking about I can confirm both work on the Verizon z2 force with Oreo.

You are absolutely correct, had info before the Oreo update. Just went to the developer options and enabled aptX HD.
