USB-C audio and charging adapter

This 2-in-1 adapter adds a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a USB-C charging port to devices that only have a USB-C socket. It lets you listen to wired headphones while the phone or tablet charges at the same time. The compact dongle is aimed at owners of recent Android handsets that dropped the analogue jack. Compatible models include several Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung and Motorola handsets listed by the supplier.

Limits of the USB-C analogue audio interface

The adapter only works on devices that send analogue audio through the USB-C port; phones that require digital audio over USB-C will not produce sound. It cannot add a headphone jack to the 2018 iPad Pro, the 11 inch iPad Pro or the OnePlus 6T because those models do not support the required analogue mode. No microphone pass-through or inline remote control is mentioned in the data.

3.5 mm jack plus charging pass-through

The single deciding specification is the combined 3.5 mm audio output and USB-C power input on one short cable. If your device supports analogue USB-C audio, this adapter restores wired listening without sacrificing charging. If your device needs digital USB-C audio, a different type of dongle is required.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter come in different lengths or only the standard cable?

The supplier lists one version with a short TPE-and-aluminium cable; no alternative lengths are offered.

What does the 3.5 mm jack actually deliver when I plug in my headphones?

It carries analogue stereo audio from the phone’s USB-C port so you hear music through any 3.5 mm headset while the adapter also passes charging current.

Which USB standard does the Type-C plug use and what does that limit?

The connector is a USB-C plug; the adapter relies on the host device’s audio-accessory mode, so charging speed and audio quality are capped by the phone’s own implementation.
