Buying Guide: AUX Cables
August 29, 2023 | By Jordan Fargo | 3 mins to read
There are several different kinds of AUX cables, and it’s crucial that you purchase the right one in order for it to connect and work properly with your device.
Some AUX cables have different numbers of wires inside them, and this can ultimately affect their compatibility with certain devices and AUX jacks. The metal pin of an AUX cable has specialized conductors that help to transmit audio signals between your two connected devices. The number of wires inside an AUX cable will match the number of conductors on their plug (the end of the cable that connects to an AUX source, such as a speaker or car). 2-conductor plug (TS) have 2 wires, 3-conductor plug (TRS) have 3 wires, and so on for 4-conductor plug (TRRS) and 5-conductor plug (TRRRS).
There are also Lightning™ and USB-type AUX cables for compatibility with an iPhone, laptop, tablet, or other device that may not have an AUX port. It’s up to you to check what kind of devices you are hoping to pair together to listen to music, do some research, and purchase the correct one to ensure that you get the high-quality sound you deserve.
A lot of people wonder whether it’s better to use a Bluetooth or AUX connection for enjoying music via your favorite devices. The biggest difference between the two is that Bluetooth is a wireless connection, while AUX is a wired one.
Bluetooth connections can range from up to 33 feet, giving you greater versatility and freedom of movement. However, they usually require a pairing process, which can be frustrating to those that aren’t as technically-savvy. Plus, Bluetooth connections aren’t as universally available as AUX connections, but they have become much more common in recent times.
AUX connections, on the other hand, are much easier to set up. You don’t need to pair or install a compatible device. Although you are limited to the cable length in terms of range of movement (usually 3.5mm), you also get to enjoy slightly better sound quality.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether you’ll benefit more from an AUX or Bluetooth connection. If you don’t care about having to use a wire, and just want a sturdy connection that’s easy to set up and doesn’t require a tedious process, then an AUX cable is definitely the smarter option for you.
