What it is and who it's for

This USB-C adapter adds a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a USB-C charging port to devices that lack a built-in audio socket. It suits owners of compatible phones or tablets who want wired headphones and simultaneous charging. The 8.5 g cable is light enough for daily carry. It does not serve users whose devices require inline remote controls.

Build quality and daily connectivity

An aluminium-alloy shell and nylon-braided cord give the cable a firm feel while staying flexible. One-piece moulded heads resist strain at the connector junctions. The USB-C male plug carries both audio and over 2 A charging current through tinned copper cores. A female USB-C port and a 3.5 mm female jack sit side by side for parallel use.

What it replaces and when the jump is worth it

The adapter replaces a missing 3.5 mm port on newer USB-C handsets, letting owners keep existing wired headsets. It also removes the need to choose between listening and charging. The upgrade makes sense when the phone lacks a headphone jack and the user prefers a single cable over separate dongles. It cannot work with HTC models listed in the compatibility notes.
