Thanks for the tip! Im gonna buy some needles from the store tomorrow to try it out.

I don’t think the cost is the problem, as a usb-c port can be had for less than 3$ for an Individual. I think its more that manufacturers don’t think this is something most people want and therefore doesn’t make sense for them to offer.

I used to use mine pretty regularly for some wired IEM’s and sometimes connecting it to my PC.

But a couple months ago, I put my phone in a bag of silica gel balls to absorb some water after it got wet.

Cannot recommend this to anyone else though… because those balls actually have roughly the same diameter as the headphone jack and one got completely stuck inside, making the port unusable. :(
