As we all know 3.5mm Headphone jack is an obsolete technology in Mid to High range phone (Brands want us to think so, but 3.5mm isn't obsolete at all).


ISSUE #1:
Brands are removing3.5mm jack from their phones and promoting the use ofUSB TYPE C headphones (Which are costlier then3.5mm headphones). That's not a bad thing, I always promotes technological advancements. 

But, the issue is -USB TYPE C HEADPHONES are costly, their Sound quality isn't that good compared to High End3.5mm headphones๐ŸŽง.
OEM headphones can't be accessed due tounavailability of this3.5mm jack.

I've some headphones that works with3.5mm jack. But as my Samsung phones don't have 3.5mm jack I can't use them but in laptop.
(Bluetooth isn't an factor here they fall in different category and have Low-Res.)

Solution: 
Interestingly popular brands has a solution for this. Which is - Use anUSB TYPE C TO 3.5mm CABLE (Convertor). Just buy one and ENJOY.


ISSUE #2:
Unlike other brands (Phones) if you buy any random Type C To 3.5mm Cable (of good quality) to use with your Samsung Phone - they'll not work. Interestingly, the same Cable will work with other brand's phones.

Then, If you buy a Cable from a Reputable, Popular brand (Say, 1+, Opp0 etc.) and buy a Cable of that brand - Guess, this will alsonot work... You will face calling issues, random disconnection etc.

So, 
Q. what to do now?
A. Buy Samsung Type C to 3.5mm cable.
Q. So problem solved?
A. NO.

ISSUE #3:
After selling theSamsung Type C to 3.5mm cable for a while, SamsungStopped manufacturing the Cable.
You can't find it in Samsung store.
On third party shores the cables aren't genuine.

So,
1. They created a problem (by not allowing third party Type C to 3.5mm cables to work with Samsung phones)

2. then found a solution (by selling their own Type C to 3.5mm Cable)

3. & then Created an another issue (by stopping the sell of that Samsung Type C to 3.5mm cable).


I'm waiting for the Samsung Type C to 3.5mm Cable for almost 1.8 years, now.
They're out of stock from almost 2 years. 
And now, it has been removed from the Store too!

If Samsung phones would work with their party Type C to 3.5mm cable, I would have buy it (If it's from a reputable company) & never Write this Post on Samsung Community. But they don't work with third party accesories, I REPEAT - THEY DON'T WORK.

I ALSO HAVE A THIRD PARTY USB TYPE C HEADPHONE FROM JBL, PAID โ‚น1500 FOR THIS. SO ATLEAST COST ISN'T AN ISSUE HERE.

Yes here you are right bro, the contraption should be DAC enabled.

Bro, Obviously I want to use mic.
As I'm going to use it for Calling and Music listening.

Btw, If the accesories has DAC then too the accessories don't work with Samsung phones.
JBL TUNE 310C headphones has DAC enabled but don't work properly.

Cool bro, drop in a line if & when you find a solution to this.
Incidentally i am also a music lover & very particular about sound quality.
