Also setting the volume on my phone to about 70% seems to be the sweet spot for the optimal sound quality

Mine began deteriorating within the first five days and I would have to touch and twist the adapter to just the right spot to get it to work

For instance, I have a Samsung Galaxy S9, right before the "red zone", is a good sweet spot

The cord has to be in just the right spot for all of the music to come through, if it moves some or all of the sound cuts out

and you've gotta play with the wire to get it to the right spot to work.

The sound will decrease in quality (it gets fuzzy) and you'll only hear half of the stereo until you rotate the plug for 5 minutes desperately while driving in traffic, trying to find the sweet spot where it actually works

Have to find a sweet spot for to make it sound clear and even then the clarity comes and goes

and I have to wiggle it to try and find this magic spot again

n’t work better.

n’t work at all when it goes in the
