What IS a Surface Duo? Who is a Duo for? What can you DO with a Duo 2?
I’m a week into using the Surface Duo 2, and I REALLY like it, but it’s crazy difficult to predict if YOU will like it. This is a SUPER niche product, with a LOT of crossover appeal.

It’s been one of the most frustrating trends in tech over the last several years.
Instead of improving the built-in headphone jacks on premium phones, manufacturers removed them to encourage more accessory sales. Bluetooth audio only became more popular when cabled audio was made more difficult to use.
Recently however, consumers have shown more interest in higher quality streaming. Despite all the tech reviewers claiming you “can’t even hear a difference”, or downplaying the audiophile community, it seems enough folks out there ARE interested in better audio and the gear to play that audio properly.
We know this market is real when Apple offers a streaming solution that their own phones can’t properly support.
Apple worked aggressively to make cabled audio a pain point, other manufacturers followed to make more sales, LG left the smartphone market, so now it’s up to us!
Here’s a (not so) quick primer on some different solutions for hooking up some headphones to a smartphone! Better music! Better movies! Better gaming!

We gotta dig a bit deeper…

It’s the end of an era. One of the most innovative smartphone manufacturers is pulling out of the mobile market. Where do we go from here? What should other manufacturers learn from LG?
