UGREEN 50596 USB-C Audio and Charging Adapter

Overview

The UGREEN 50596 lets you use a wired headset with a supported USB-C phone and charge the phone at the same time. It plugs into the USB-C port and provides a 3.5 mm four-pole headset socket for music, calls and inline controls, plus a USB-C charging input rated up to 1.5 A. It suits long calls or listening sessions on a phone whose only port is USB-C.

Is it right for you?

• Suits specific supported USB-C phones. It is not universal: not for iPhone or iPad, Google Pixel, or Samsung Note 10 and 10+.
• Choose it for a 3.5 mm headset with a microphone; both CTIA and OMTP headset wiring are listed.
• Charging is up to 1.5 A, so it suits topping up rather than fast charging.
• If you need a USB hub, data or video, this is not it.

Key features

• Headset wiring: CTIA and OMTP, with microphone, play and pause, track and volume functions where the phone supports them.
• Charging current up to 1.5 A; the phone, charger and cable set the actual rate.
