The Essential Phone Audio Adapter HD is here (a year too late)

TL;DR

• The Essential Phone Audio Adapter HD is finally here.
• The snap-on peripheral will set you back $149 and give your Essential Phone a headphone jack and DAC.
• The Essential Phone Audio Adapter HD is arriving a year too late for most fans.

Before today, the only official modular accessory for the Essential Phone was the 360 camera. While this audio adapter is definitely more useful than a 360 camera, it might be a little too late for all but the most hardcore of Essential fans to care, considering the smartphone is over a year old at this point.
