UGREEN 35056 1 m USB-C to 3.5 mm TRRS Audio Cable

Overview

The UGREEN 35056 is a 1 m cable that connects a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop to a wired headset or speaker with a 3.5 mm plug, with a built-in digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) for playback up to 24-bit, 96 kHz. Its 3.5 mm end is a four-pole (TRRS) plug, so a compatible headset’s microphone and inline controls can work for calls. It suits anyone whose device has no headphone socket but who wants to keep using a wired headset.

Is it right for you?

• Suits calls and music through a wired headset on a USB-C phone or laptop.
• It also feeds a plain stereo (TRS) AUX input on a speaker, but then there is no microphone return.
• Audio flows one way, from USB-C to 3.5 mm. It cannot connect a 3.5 mm phone to USB-C headphones.
• Xbox is not supported.
