USB C to 3.5mm Headphone and Charger Adapter, 2-in-1 USB Type C to Aux Jack Dongle Cable with PD 60W Fast Charging for iPhone 15 16 17 Pro Max Air, Samsung Galaxy S23 S24 S25 Ultra, Note 20, iPad Pro

These are absolutely needed to restore functionality to modern crippled smart phones. A total pain in the patoot to carry a dongle to make your phone function with wired headphones. But, with modern crippled phones you absolutely have to have them or you are stuck with Bluetooth that cuts out in the middle of what you are listening to with RF interference and pauses infernally often with every incoming notification or text message. Wired headphones are NOT susceptible to problems from microwave ovens, lawnmowers, or power tools. If you never ever do things productive with your hands you can probably stick with Bluetooth and be satisfied. The split dongle is great that you can charge your phone while listening. Alas, you cannot USB attach your phone with the dongle but charge only.

Works well, easy to use and good value for money

I maintain a music collection on my cell phone that I wanted to play while on a recent road trip. My vehicle audio system doesn't support Bluetooth but does provide a standard audio auxiliary port to connect a device directly to the sound system. I needed a USB C to 3.5mm adapter to connect to phone, but also needed the adapter to allow for charging simultaneously so that my battery was fully charged when arriving at final destination (I have an older phone/battery that depletes significantly with audio and navigation functions on full-time). I searched and read reviews of several solutions, but I decided to try this adapter based on positive reviews, functionality, and it appeared to be made with sturdy materials. Easy plug-n-play with only issue being that I had to turn up the volume on both the phone and radio to get sound through the speakers (not a major issue but noteworthy). Sound quality appears to be good. Functions exactly as I had hoped. Sound is not quite as good as when I play CD's through system, but at least as good as the radio and that could be impacted by the audio file format I used to save the audio files.

READ BEFORE BUYING The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because the headphone jack seems to have a built in noise gate, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but it's there and it has a slow attack when kicking back in. So if the audio of your media is quiet for a moment, whether it be a moment of dead air in a podcast or a quiet part of video or a song, when your audio gets above a quiet level again it will kick back in a fraction of a second late, so you will miss the first word or two or any noise that happens fast after a quiet part. Other than that this thing works great and does what it says so I think it deserves 4 stars.

*Update: okay, so i was originally on the fence with this as one out of two worked great. (See below review.) However, since posting this the first one I bought has started messing up. It will just disconnect at random. Not the cord itself, they stay connected just fine. It will stop playing music and stop charging. I have to unplug it and plug it back it to make it work again and depending on the day is for how long. The other day I unplugged the charging side and it stayed on for about 30 minutes before cutting off again. On my 20 minute drive home today i had to do this 3 times and finally said the heck with it a mile from home. Not only is this annoying, but unsafe as I have to keep messing with it while driving to get it to play. I will be buying a differnt brand and recommending to everyone I know to stay away from this one. Even on sale it is not worth the money or effort. Would normally give this 5 stars. However, the second one is not good. I order one of these for the vehicle that I drive. It worked great! Charges my phone while allowing me to listen to my music play list. (Our vehicles do not have Bluetooth capabilities.) It worked so great that I decided that it was worth it to buy one for both of our vehicles. The second one I ordered is not good. It will allow me to play music through the car, but not charge. It over heats and causes my phone to get hot at the charging port to the point it feels like it will catch fire. I only have a 15-20 minute drive to work so using it on a long drive would definitely be out of the question. Will not be buying a third nor can I recommend this brand.

Allows my phone to fast charge while plugged into the aux of my car. No noticeable audio or electric degradation and strong connection quality. Perfect little adapter to not need Bluetooth while not losing charging ability.

The adapter works, but it messes with the volume (on my iPhone). It adjusts the volume by 2 increments instead of 1, almost always causing my audio to be either too loud or too quiet. I barely use it because of that issue, but someone else might not be bothered by it.

Excelent product
