USB-C Audio Adapter with Charging Pass-Through

This adapter cable converts a USB-C port into a 3.5 mm headphone jack while providing a second USB-C female connector for charging. It is designed for smartphones and tablets that lack a built-in audio socket. The compact form factor makes it convenient for travel and daily use. Plug-and-play operation requires no additional drivers or software installation.

Check Device Compatibility Before Purchase

Verify that your device uses a USB-C interface and that this port supports digital audio output. The supplier notes that certain models, including Google Pixel 2 and HTC U11, are not compatible. Ensure your headphones or auxiliary cable use a standard 3.5 mm plug. The adapter will not function if the host port lacks audio support.

Low Power Draw and Silent Operation

The adapter draws minimal power from the host device during audio playback. The charging pass-through port supports USB 3.1 data rates up to 10 Gbps while delivering power to the connected device. No active cooling or fans are present, so operation is completely silent. Normal use adds negligible thermal load to the smartphone or tablet.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a separate charger?

The adapter cable includes a USB-C male plug, a 3.5 mm female jack and a USB-C female branch for charging; you only need your existing USB-C charger and a 3.5 mm headset.

Which version should I pick — the one with CDLA or the USB 3.1 model?

This single model supports both CDLA audio and USB 3.1 data rates, so there is no separate version to choose.

What does the 3.1 figure mean for audio quality on my phone?

USB 3.1 refers to the data-speed rating of the connector; the adapter passes digital audio to its built-in DAC for 3.5 mm output while simultaneously allowing up to 100 W charging.
