USB C to 3.5mm adaptor

Recently purchased 3 of these and everyone within a matter of weeks is faulty, probably hours as I only really use them on my commute to and from work so 2 hours per day.
When first used theres a snug 'feel' when you plug them in but now the tiniest movement upsets the connection.
Feel like getting a device with a headphone socket, why it was ever abandoned on devices i will never know.
Anyway, anyone have a better experience, or can recommend a brand?

TIA

    I spent a bit more, got the Hidizs Sonata and iBasso DX05 via AliExpress. Very pleased with their performance over the last few years.

    A bit more money but a decent product.

    I've never had any issues with a Ugreen branded one they're top quality stuff, mine also allows charging at the same time for when I want to watch something at home and charge the tablet as well.

    I've had a few of these and they all seem to deliver the audio in a weird way with constant interruptions by short bursts of silence.

    When they worked audio was perfect

    At a wild guess its the USB-C connection

    Is it possible the internal connection has become loose with the regular insertion/removal of the adapter?

    I did consider that but if I plug in my charger in it just works and always feels a snug fit.

    I'm assuming you want these so you can carry on using your favourite headphones but have you tried any Bluetooth earbuds/headphones as an alternative ?

    Yes
    I own a number of bluetooth earphones and headphones, i use them in the house on the PC to watch movies etc and not disturb others.
    I dont like the 'look' of headphones on me outside the house lol
    and the BT earphones I always feel like i will lose one outside the house, at least with a cable they are attached to something
