Purpose & Audience
This USB-C to 3.5mm adapter lets you plug wired headphones or auxiliary cables into phones and tablets that lack a headphone jack. A second USB-C female port on the branch cable accepts a charger so the device can power up while audio plays. It is aimed at owners of compatible USB-C handsets who want a simple plug-and-play dongle.
Build & Connectivity
The compact moulded housing keeps the cable lightweight and easy to carry in a pocket or bag. A male USB-C plug inserts into the host device, while a 3.5mm female socket accepts standard audio plugs. The extra USB-C female branch handles charging duty only; it does not carry data or video signals. Compatibility depends on the host supporting audio output through its USB-C port.
Thermals, Noise & Power
Passive circuitry means no fan, no moving parts and zero audible noise during operation. The adapter draws only the tiny current required for the built-in DAC and the charging negotiation, adding negligible load to the phone’s battery. Normal use stays cool to the touch because there are no active components generating heat.

Questions about this item
Does the USB-C 3.1 interface cap audio quality at 3.5 mm?
The USB-C 3.1 plug carries digital audio to the built-in DAC, so the 3.5 mm jack outputs analogue sound without further conversion.
What clearance does the Y-split cable need?
The short USB-C charging branch and 3.5 mm jack sit side-by-side, so allow roughly 20 mm depth behind the phone port.
Is any driver needed before first use?
Plug the USB-C male end into the phone, attach headphones to the 3.5 mm socket, and audio routes automatically.
