⚠️ Important Notice: Passive Analog Audio Only – Not for Digital USB-C Headphones

1. Passive Analog Audio Only (No DAC Chip): This cable is a passive analog audio adapter without an integrated digital-to-analog decoding chipset. It is engineered exclusively for passing analog audio signals.
2. Incompatible with Digital Type-C Earphones: Does NOT support digital USB-C headphones requiring DAC decoding (such as Apple USB-C EarPods, Samsung AKG Type-C earphones, Google Pixel earphones, or active noise-cancelling Type-C headsets). Connecting digital earphones will result in no sound.
3. Audio Direction & Ports: Connects a 3.5mm male jack into your audio source device (laptop, PC sound card, smartphone, MP3 player) and accepts analog USB-C wired earphones via the female USB-C port. Does not support charging, data transfer, or video transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this adapter work with my Apple USB-C EarPods or Samsung AKG Type-C earphones?
A: No. Apple and Samsung USB-C earphones contain built-in digital DAC chips and require a digital USB audio host. Because this adapter is passive and analog-only, digital earphones will produce no sound.

Q: Can I use this adapter to charge my phone or transfer data?
A: No. This adapter is strictly designed for analog audio pass-through. It does not carry power delivery lines or USB data protocols.

Q: Does the microphone and wire control work with all headsets?
A: Microphone and wire control functions depend on the wiring pinout standard (CTIA) of your connected analog headset and whether your host device's 3.5mm jack supports 4-pole TRRS input.
