My biggest problem with the phone world deciding the humble 3.5mm headphone port deserved to die? That my rather pricey in-ear monitor wired headphones got made redundant in favour of lower quality Bluetooth buds. Or at least, they did; now the Hidizs SD2 (£50, from Amazon) has given my mobile its port back, bringing my IEMs out of retirement.

It’s not like DAC dongles aren’t a dime a dozen, of course, but I never liked the thought of one sharing a pocket with my phone, in case it scratched the screen. That’s not a problem for the SD2. This pint-sized plugin sticks straight into your phone’s USB-C port, with no trailing cables. At just 6g you’ll quickly forget it’s even plugged into your phone.
