USB-C to 3.5 mm Audio Adapter

This USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter adds a headphone jack to devices that lack one. It uses a built-in Realtek DAC chip to convert digital audio to analogue with sample rates up to 384 kHz and 32-bit depth. The compact dongle works with smartphones, tablets and laptops that have a USB-C port.

Listeners who need wired audio on USB-C devices

The adapter suits owners of recent phones, tablets or laptops without a 3.5 mm socket who want to use existing wired headphones, headsets or speakers. It is not for buyers who need a USB-C charging port at the same time, or who require inline volume controls on non-Apple headsets.

Check USB-C audio support on your device

Before ordering, verify that your USB-C port supports digital audio output or USB Audio Class. Some devices only carry data or charging and will not pass audio through this adapter. Also confirm whether your headset uses a TRRS plug for microphone function, as Apple headsets may not allow volume adjustment or calls on certain Android models.

Questions about this item

What type of USB-C port must my phone or laptop have for this adapter to carry audio?

The host device needs a USB-C port that supports digital audio output so the built-in Realtek DAC can receive the signal and convert it to analogue for your 3.5 mm headphones or speakers.

Will the adapter work with older 3.5 mm headsets that have an inline microphone?

Yes, the 3.5 mm female jack accepts standard TRRS headsets so both stereo playback and the microphone are supported, though volume controls on Apple-supplied headsets only function on Apple-made products.

How can I confirm the adapter is delivering the advertised 384 kHz sample rate after I plug it in?

Play a 32-bit, 384 kHz test file and check your device's audio settings or a media-player information panel to verify the output sample rate matches the file's rate.
