2 in 1 USB C to 3.5mm Headphone and Charger Adapter (USB-C to AUX + PD 60W)

What buyers think

Buyer-review evidence is broadly positive around day-to-day functionality. Many buyers report that the adapter works as intended for simultaneous charging and wired audio, with clear sound and no obvious static or cutouts during normal use. Charging performance is commonly described as consistent with the device’s limits. Several reviews also comment on build quality, noting that the cable and connectors feel sturdy and less flimsy than cheaper alternatives. At the same time, review evidence includes reports of failures or intermittent headphone audio after the adapter experienced physical stress (for example, being bent or handled during travel). Overall, buyer-review evidence supports the idea that this is a convenient, reliable splitter when used carefully, but it is not a “rough handling” accessory.

How it works and what it is for

As a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone and charger adapter, it takes a single USB-C connection and provides two practical outputs: a 3.5mm audio jack for wired earphones, and a USB-C port for Power Delivery (PD) charging. The goal is simple, you do not have to choose between music and charging. This is especially useful if your phone or tablet does not have a headphone jack, and you still prefer wired audio (for example, earbuds with a 3.5mm plug).

Audio and mic compatibility details

The adapter is designed for 3.5mm wired headphones and includes support for both CTIA and OMTP 3.5mm jack standards. That matters if you use earphones with a microphone, because certain devices or headset designs expect a specific jack wiring standard. If your wired headphones work with 3.5mm on other CTIA/OMTP-compatible adapters, you will likely have an easier time getting audio (and mic features where supported) working through this USB-C splitter.

Charging performance and power handling

It includes USB-C PD with a stated maximum of 60W. In practical terms, it is meant to keep charging stable while you use wired audio at the same time. Some buyers describe charging speeds as consistent with what their phone allows (which is expected, since actual charging depends on your device and charger). If you want the best charging speed, use a capable PD wall charger rather than low-power USB ports.

Compatibility: which devices it is meant to work with

This adapter is intended for many USB-C devices, including a long list of supported iPhone models (through compatible USB-C/adapter capability), iPad models, MacBook and iMac models, and a wide range of Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices. It also notes explicit limitations, it is not compatible with Moto phones and not compatible with OnePlus phones. If you are unsure, confirm your exact device model is included in the supported list before buying.

Pros and cons recap

• Best for: People who want wired headphone audio and charging at the same time, especially for travel, commuting, or desk use with a compact adapter.
• Worth considering if: You already own 3.5mm wired earbuds, prefer reliable analog audio, or need a mic-capable setup through an adapter.
• Be cautious if: Your phone brand is not supported (Moto, OnePlus) or you need data transfer, because this adapter is audio plus charging only.
• Handle with care: Review evidence suggests physical stress can lead to intermittent or failed headphone audio over time.

Price and availability

This adapter is positioned as an inexpensive add-on for USB-C devices that need both charging and wired audio. Since pricing can vary by retailer and time, check the current price before deciding. If you are shopping on a tight budget, also consider whether you would benefit from a different category solution (such as a USB-C wired headphone option or a separate USB-C audio dongle plus charging setup).

Alternatives to consider (depending on your priorities)

• If you only need audio (not charging at the same time): A USB-C to 3.5mm headphone-only dongle can be simpler and cheaper, but you may have to charge separately.
• If you want audio and charging without worrying about a single adapter failing: A USB-C audio adapter plus a separate charging cable can reduce “single point of failure,” but it takes more desk or pocket space.
• If mic performance is critical for calls: Consider testing your specific headset model on CTIA/OMTP-compatible USB-C audio adapters, since mic behavior can vary by phone and headset wiring.

Verdict

The 2-in-1 USB-C to 3.5mm headphone and charger adapter is a practical choice if you want simultaneous wired audio and USB-C PD charging from one port. It has the compatibility essentials for many USB-C devices (including CTIA and OMTP support for 3.5mm audio), and buyers commonly describe clear sound and consistent charging. Just make sure your device is supported, remember there is no data transfer, and treat the adapter gently to avoid intermittent headphone audio issues over time.
