    The ksc75 is not an IEM. You’re also mentioning a completely different (and more expensive) dongle than the one in the comment I reolied to.

    And no, more wear on the usb-c port is not the only downside. In some places (e.g. where I live), you simply can’t buy most dongles. I always have to travel or import stuff. You also have one more thing that you need to buy, carry around and that can break.

    Stop being a corpo simp. Makes you look dumb.

      The kiwi dongle is pretty much the same price as the apple dongle, about 10 EUR. More powerful DACs in the lighter format are more expensive but they are also more powerful than what you’d usually find in a phone with headphone jack.

      Yes, the ksc75 is not an IEM, I had to look it up. I was only talking about IEMs before.

      In the age of the internet buying DACs is a non issue.

        Where I am right now it costs 23EUR which isn’t that much less than the cost of the ksc75. I don’t think that making a dongle requirement is ok. Specially when there’s literally nothing stopping manufacturers from including it.

        You clearly don’t know much about the customs processes and restrictions in other countries then.
