Finally, an adapter that doesn’t constantly drop connection! A must for HQ/Lossless audio!
Don’t get me started on how aggravating it is that phone manufacturers have removed the headphone ports from their phones in recent years. To add insult to injury, basically all of the USB-C to headphone 3.5mm adapters are awful, either falling out easily or losing connection with the slightest bump or both. I have been though 4 other adapters, including the one made by Samsung, and they all have had these problems. This one cost more than most of the others, but I was hopeful based on positive reviews.I can confirm that it plugs in snugly into my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with and without my Otterbox slim case and doesn’t ever fall out. Also, I have tried tapping it and bumping it repeatedly (as every other adapter drops connection and pauses audio with a slight graze), but I haven’t been able to get it to drop connection yet.I have a pair of Sony WH-100XM4’s and noticed that when playing music at high quality on Tidal, I was getting a warning about compression over Bluetooth, since it doesn’t have the bandwidth required to play high quality FLAC and Dolby Atmos tracks (I wondered why everything sounded flat). Everything sounds AMAZING when using this adapter as the audio is played at max quality without compression and I am no longer yelling at my phone every two minutes due to connection drops.I’m so happy to have finally found an adapter that just does its job properly, that I had to write a review to recommend it.

Solid performance, good sound. Recommended.
Speaking as a musician, producer, and live sound engineer, this is a handy dongle to have. After looking at some other reviews, I saw that there can be a difference in quality of the DAC (digital to analog converter) chip in some brands of adapter. The Anker adapter reportedly uses a better chip so I decided to try one out, since the difference between USD 8 and 16 didn’t bother me for something I only intend to buy once. I own a number of Anker cables and power banks and have had only 5-star experiences with their equipment, so this felt like an easy bet to place.I bought this for use with a Samsung Galaxy S24+ but it should work fine on any phone with a USB-C connector. The fit on the phone is secure and snug. Since the plug sticks straight out, it’s possible an impact or drop could damage the unit or the phone’s USB jack, but with ordinary care this shouldn’t be an issue.I tried the adapter with two different headsets: (1) KZ ZS10 Pro in-ear monitors with a 30-ohm impedance (therefore fairly loud at even low volumes show off a lot of detail), and (2) Audio-Technica ATH-M50x studio headphones at 38-ohms, and having to be driven a little harder. In both cases the fit on the 3.5mm earphone jack side was secure as expected. The audio results were excellent, with punchy, full lows and detailed highs. The signature character of each set of earphones came through clearly — both the slightly hyped bottom end and relative flatness of the ATH-M50x, and the customary “smile” or V-curve of the Chinese-made KZ ZS10 Pro. I was able to pick out details I usually miss when in the car or on Bluetooth speakers, but would expect to catch only in my home studio on expensive monitors.In a *very* quiet environment, when I stop or pause audio, after about 1 to 1.5 seconds I can hear a small “tap” sound as the DAC powers off, but it’s easy to miss and certainly not disturbing in any way. It makes sense that this happens, so that the adapter isn’t drawing power from the phone while I’m not playing any audio. (I imagine a cheaper unit potentially might not do the right thing here, causing excessive power drain.) When I resume playing music, the audio returns quickly, with a very short ramp up from zero to my chosen loudness. There doesn’t seem to be any significant heat generation from the DAC.This adapter can also be used, with the right cable, to send the output of your phone to an outboard sound mixer or other stereo inputs. You may have to adjust the volume in that case to send audio at the expected volume level for the receiving unit.I can easily recommend this adapter to others looking to use their favorite wired headphones with their phone that only has a USB-C jack.

Battery saver, better sound
Primary reason for this is it saves battery on both sending/receiving devices. Most Bluetooth (BT) headphones with ANC lasts about 4-6 hours per charge. On a 10+hour flight, that makes a big difference.Secondary benefit: the best sound for me comes from wired headphones compared to BT ones. But sound quality is highly dependent on the source materials and the BT capabilities of the devices.

Good 3.5mm audio jack adapter that minimizes noise/interference without being a mini DAC
The trouble with USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack adapters (that are not full-fledged mini-sized DAC devices) is that they have a lot of noise/interference. However, a lot of flagship/mid-range smartphones being sold in the US no longer have built-in audio jack adapters. So, using an 3.5mm audio jack adapter will never be as good as a built-in 3.5mm audio jack.However, this is the best balance between a device that “just works” and having an acceptable noise/interference level as an external 3.5mm audio jack adapter. There is some interference, with this Anker adapter, but at least it sounds like a relatively quiet AC or fan that’s either across a very large room or in an adjacent room. However, you can still hear yourself have a phone conversation if you need to plug in some lower-end earbuds that have a 3.5mm audio jack.Just make sure you put this Anker audio jack adapter in a place, such as a pouch, where you will make sure you will not lose the adapter.

Good stuff!
Great volume and quality boost, and the plug seems to lock into the USB C port better than any other I’ve used this far.

After trying multiple USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter that didn’t work with my Samsung Galaxy 24+, I decided to try this product and it works great with my Samsung and hasn’t given me any problems. I can hear audio just fine with no issues at all! I am very happy!!

This is the best 3.5mm to USB C adapter that I have ever purchased. The ones from other brands can’t even compare.Build quality is good and sound quality is amazing.

Ich hatte mir testweise 4 USB-C zu 3,5mm Klinke Adapter bzw. Dongle-DACs bestellt, um sie zu testen. Dieser hier ist einer davon. Ergebnis:Das Gerät selbst: Robuste Ausführung. Nicht ganz so gut, wie der Kiwibird, aber schon gut gemacht.Funktion: Funktioniert am PC und am Handy. Die höchste einstellbare Auflösung am PC war auch 24bit/96kHz. Hohe Verstärkungswirkung, kann also auch schwer anzutreibende Kopfhörer mit Musik versorgen (gestest mit Sennheiser HD-58X, 104dB, 150 Ohm: Bei 50% war der Kopfhörer so laut, wie am Handy ohne Dongle bei 100%. Da geht also noch was). Verstärkung gleich zum Kiwibird.Sound: Der Sound ist balancierter als der Kiwibird. Dadurch fällt die Betonung der Höhen weg, was etwas weniger “sparkle on top” bedeutet, aber auch weniger Probleme mit scharfen Höhen. Da ich auch gerne mal HR/HM höre sollte, ist mir der Sound des Anker lieber, weil er besser als Allrounder fungiert und der Sound auch bei schwierigen Aufnahmen angenehmer ist.Fazit: Für mich der Gesamtsieger, auch wenn der Kiwibird beim Preis (kostet die Hälfte) und beim Build (sehr robust) punkten kann. Bei der Verstärkung sind beide gleich, aber für mich ist der Sound sehr wichtig und der gefällt mir hier besser. Der grüne iMangoo hat zu viele Probleme und der Apple Dongle ist mir zu anfällig und praktisch ohne Verstärkung auch zu eingeschränkt in der Verwendung. Dafür ist er dann auch zu teuer (zweitteuerster mit dem iMangoo zusammen).P.S.: Auf Nutzeranfrage hin auch Mikro gestest (d.h. ein Kopfhörer / Headset mit einem 4-poligen Klinkenstecker) und auch das hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Die Audioqualität war gut, wobei das natürlich im wesentlichen von dem Mikro abhängt. Das es aber ein ins Kabel integriertes Mikro eines ca. â¬25 teuren KZ IEMs war (KZ ZS5, sprich: nix besonderes) war die Audio Qualität erstaunlich gut. Weitere Funktionen habe ich nicht getestet, das hängt aber auch immer sehr vom Mikro, der Anzahl der Tasten und der Kompatibilität mit dem Handy ab. Der Dongle scheint die Signale 1:1 weiterzureichen.
