Since there's no longer a 3.5mm headphone (and mic) socket on Galaxy phones like the S21, what's the best way to attach my external lav mic which has a 3.5mm jack?
I see there are USB-C adapters out there, but the reviews are varied and it's not clear which ones will/won't work with the S21. Is there a good/reliable choice on Amazon (UK) that I can buy to do this?
You need a Dongle that has DAC (digital-to-audio converter). Most aftermarket dongles do not have DAC, therefore they will not work. In my experience, which I purchased four or five dongles, not every seller is familiar with DAC and it's hit or miss when you buy it.
The reviews for the adapter are very poor on both the US & UK stores.. saying it's flimsy, broke quickly, and suffered noise issues. You shouldn't really expect such problems with an official £10 adapter from Samsung!
My brother got Apple's USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter and that worked with his flip 3 and then his S21 Ultra Wasn't too expensive either surprisingly Build quality seems to be pretty alright on it
