The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

Having tried to use USB-C earbuds... the experience is lacking. Once they are plugged in there is a 2-5s lag for when the headphones start working. 30% of the time they don't work, having to unplug and plug them in to try again. Some apps won't use them at all if the headphones are not plugged in before you start a call (google voice).

Even if you got them working, they stick out of the bottom of the phone, so propping up the phone on a desk for a video call is now super awkward.

It's a poor echo of the experience of physically wired RTTP headphones.

Never had those problems. Worked for me better than the AUX port actually, since no metal spring got damaged over time like in most of my previous phones.

The dongle works just like AUX earphones worked
