USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter with DAC Chip
Keep using your favourite wired headphones, earphones, speakers and AUX cable with modern USB-C devices. This USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter converts a Type-C port into a standard 3.5mm female audio jack, making it a simple everyday solution for phones, tablets and laptops that no longer include a built-in headphone socket.
Built with a compact braided cable, aluminium alloy shell and integrated DAC audio conversion chip, this adapter is ideal for music, podcasts, calls, video streaming, gaming and car AUX use where your device supports USB-C audio output.

Why Choose This USB-C Audio Adapter?
Many newer phones and tablets have removed the 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead of replacing your wired headphones, this compact Type-C to 3.5mm audio adapter lets you keep using them with compatible USB-C devices.
The short braided cable helps prevent strain at the connector, while the aluminium alloy shell gives a more durable feel than a basic plastic dongle. It is small enough to keep in a pocket, work bag, laptop sleeve, car storage tray or travel pouch.
