- Sound quality
It is undeniable that Bluetooth headsets are increasingly being taken care of by manufacturers, perfecting from sound quality to features. With a long history of the development of headphone companies, the top headphones are still wired headphones. To enjoy these headphones on mobile devices, we have to go through the dongle.
With listening to music through the dongle, the sound will be better than buying a Bluetooth headset.
- Wide variety of headphones to choose from
The Bluetooth headset market has grown rapidly in the past few years. The person driving this development is none other than Apple. With the death of the 3.5mm port and the launch of AirPods, Apple has pushed big and long-standing audio companies from Sennheiser, Sony, Bose, etc., to focus on wireless headphones in general and true wireless in particular.
In just four years, the number of new products and wireless headset companies increased rapidly. Compared to the decades-old history of the audio industry and headphones, the number of these products is quite small. Therefore, talking about product diversity from price, design, sound quality, wireless headphones may take a long time to catch up.
- Improve decoding quality

The quality of the music file plays a very important role in listening to music. Investing in good headphones and then plugging in an mp3 file will be a pretty bad experience. If listening to music by Bluetooth, the quality is not much better. Because whether you’re counting on the LDAC or AptX HD codecs, it’s just lossy.
With the dongle that comes with the device, the sound quality is not good. Some companies market several dongles capable of decoding 24bit or 32bit hi-res music files. You can also find dongles that support balanced-out ports like 2.5mm and 4.4mm.

In addition to being equipped with decoding capabilities, manufacturers also integrate amplifier circuits into these dongles. That is essential if you own a high-impedance or low-sensitivity headset. However, at this point, the dongle will no longer be compact but will gain quite a bit of weight.
With so many advantages mentioned above, it is clear that equipping a high-quality dongle is essential if you are a music lover and often listen on mobile devices. However, these dongles will also have disadvantages such as being cumbersome, easy to lose, and quite expensive.
