USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter

This adapter converts a USB-C port into a 3.5mm female socket so you can use wired headphones with phones and laptops that lack a dedicated jack. It is intended for owners of recent Android handsets, Chromebooks and the 2015 MacBook who want a simple plug-and-play solution. The cable is lightweight and built for daily carry.

USB-C digital audio limitation

The adapter relies on the host device to send digital audio over USB-C; it will not work on phones or tablets that only support analogue passthrough through the same port. Compatibility is limited to the models listed by the supplier, so buyers should verify their handset appears in that list before purchasing. No driver installation is required on supported hardware.

Single-headphone connection headroom

The 3.5mm jack accepts one standard headphone plug at a time and cannot drive multiple headsets or external speakers simultaneously. It handles typical mobile listening volumes but offers no amplification for high-impedance studio headphones. Users needing microphone pass-through should confirm their specific handset supports that function over USB-C.

Questions about this item

Is this the USB-C to 3.5 mm version or a Micro USB to USB-A cable?

The product title and description describe a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio adapter for headphones, but the specifications field lists Micro USB to USB-A. The title and device compatibility point to the USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter.

Will this adapter drive my headphones at the same volume as a built-in 3.5 mm jack?

The adapter uses the phone or laptop's internal DAC and amplifier, so maximum volume and drive capability match the host device's own 3.5 mm output.

Does the USB-C plug carry analogue audio or digital audio that needs a DAC in the dongle?

The adapter works with devices that output analogue audio through the USB-C port; it passes the signal directly to the 3.5 mm socket without an internal DAC.
