2pcs USB C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter, Upgrade Metal Case
Quick take
This 2-pack USB-C to 3.5mm female headphone adapter kit turns compatible USB-C devices into wired-audio players without drivers or software. It uses a built-in DAC and a metal housing to support clearer sound for music and calls, but buyer-fit depends on your headphone plug type (TRS vs TRRS) and your phone’s port (it is for USB-C audio devices, not 3.5mm-jack phones).
Pros and cons
Pros
- Plug and play, no drivers or software required
- Metal case design that feels more durable than typical plastic adapters
- Built-in DAC chip aimed at clear, detailed audio
- 2-pack is handy to keep one at home and one on the go
Cons
- Not for phones that already have a 3.5mm headphone jack
- Microphone and recording support depends on using a TRRS (level 4) plug, not TRS
- Not intended for high-power speakers
- Some buyers note there is no headphone-detect sensor, which can confuse a phone’s headphone status
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is limited, but the recurring themes are straightforward. The adapters are consistently described as reliable and easy to use right out of the box, with no driver hassle. Sound quality is often characterized as clear and loud, with good detail for both music and calls. Build quality comes up repeatedly, especially the metal housing feeling sturdier than cheaper plastic options. The main practical caution mentioned is the lack of a headphone-detection sensor, which may affect how a phone reports whether headphones are connected.
What this adapter does (and who it’s for)
This is a USB Type-C to 3.5mm female headphone jack adapter, meaning it lets you connect standard wired 3.5mm headphones to USB-C audio devices. It is aimed at people who want to keep using wired headphones instead of switching to fully wireless options.
It is designed for compatibility with USB-C devices such as certain Samsung Galaxy models (for example S20+ and S21 Ultra) and iPhone 15/16/17 series models, plus other USB-C audio devices.
Sound quality and the DAC chip, what to expect
The adapter includes a built-in DAC high-resolution chip and uses shielding intended to reduce current interference. In practice, that generally translates to audio that buyers describe as clear and detailed. For most listeners using wired headphones, this is mainly about getting a stable, listenable analog output from a digital USB-C audio connection.
One limitation to keep in mind, high-power speakers are not supported. So if your goal is driving larger, powered speaker systems, this is meant for headphone-style audio rather than speaker amplification.
Compatibility details that actually matter
USB-C device requirement
This adapter is for USB-C audio devices. Phones that already have a 3.5mm headphone jack are not supported, since the point is to bridge USB-C to a 3.5mm headphone plug.
TRS vs TRRS for calls and microphone
If you are using headphones with a microphone, plug type matters. Recording-capable devices (such as microphone use) require a TRRS (level 4) plug. TRS (level 3) is suitable for audio playback, but it may not provide microphone functionality depending on your headset and device.
Headset controls and call functions
The adapter is intended to support headset function keys for common actions such as making calls, controlling volume, and pausing playback, assuming the connected device and headset are compatible with those features through the 3.5mm connection.
Pros and cons, real-world tradeoffs
Good fit if you want
- A compact 2-pack so you can leave one adapter in a bag and one at home
- A simple USB-C to headphone-jack solution without installing anything
- Wired audio with a metal-housing build that is easier to carry daily
Be careful if
- You need to use high-power external speakers, since the adapter is not intended for that use
- Your headset relies on a microphone and you are not sure whether you have a TRRS plug

Is it worth it? Our verdict
This 2pcs USB-C to 3.5mm female headphone jack adapter is a practical choice for anyone using USB-C phones that lack a 3.5mm port and who wants to keep using wired headphones. The metal build, plug-and-play setup, and built-in DAC chip are the main reasons it is appealing, especially if you value carrying a durable adapter. Just verify your headphone plug type (TRS for playback, TRRS for microphone/recording scenarios) and remember it is not meant for high-power speakers.
