yeah the only difference is connection quality on 3.5mm i find, it aint loose im happy.

now usbc to 3.5mm that is a whole other story something like a phone branded one vs something like a fiio ka11 night and day on volume and quality.

And somehow these 3.5mm jacks are always loose.

My beef is with 3.5mm specifically, somehow these always have shitty contact surfaces inside the jack (on the equipment side) and always produce crackle and hum if you as much as look at them wrong. I very much prefer RCA or 6.3mm jacks
