usb to 3 5mm audio adaptor

Adapters are available in both male‑to‑female and male‑to‑male configurations. Common forms are a short dongle (USB‑C male to 3.5mm female) and full cables (USB‑C to 3.5mm male‑to‑male).

These adapters are designed to work with most USB‑C phones, tablets, and laptops. Some product listings also note compatibility with USB‑C car stereos and other USB‑C‑equipped audio devices.

Some adapters support phone calls and inline headphone controls (volume/play/pause), but support varies by model. For microphone use, the headphones must have a built‑in mic and the adapter must explicitly list headset‑mic support—check the product description to confirm call and control compatibility.

Listings commonly show short dongles (USB‑C male to 3.5mm female), full audio cables (USB‑C to 3.5mm male‑to‑male), and combined adapters that add a USB‑C female port for charging alongside a 3.5mm jack.

Many adapters are compact and travel‑friendly, with short braided dongles marketed as roughly 6‑inch, pocket‑size converters for easy portability.

Adapters can route audio from USB‑C devices into car stereos and external speakers via a 3.5mm AUX‑in, enabling stereo playback. Some models also support passthrough charging for use in cars or with home sound systems.
