USB-C audio adapter with charging branch
The Defendwe adapter converts a USB-C port into a 3.5 mm headphone socket while providing an extra USB-C female branch for charging. It is aimed at owners of smartphones or tablets that lack a built-in headphone jack and want wired audio without losing the charging port. The compact dongle works plug-and-play with no driver installation required. Note that the host USB-C port must support audio output for the adapter to function.
CDLA USB 3.1 interface
The adapter uses a CDLA USB 3.1 connection to deliver digital audio to the 3.5 mm female jack. Compatibility is confirmed for Essential PH-1, Huawei P20 and P20 Pro, LeEco LeMax2, Motorola Z2 Force, Z Droid Force and Moto Z, and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, Mi Mix 2 and Mi 6. It is explicitly not compatible with iPhone, Google Pixel 2 or HTC U11. Buyers who need support for devices outside this list should verify host audio capability before purchase.
Small form factor for portable use
The adapter is described as small and light, making it easy to carry in a pocket or bag for on-the-go listening. The USB-C charging branch allows the host device to be powered while audio plays, avoiding battery drain during extended sessions. No active cooling or external power is involved, so operation is silent. Users who require a more rugged cable or longer reach will need a different solution.
