UGREEN USB C Aux splitter 60W DAC
Product description
Key features
If your USB C phone or tablet no longer includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the UGREEN USB C to 3.5mm Jack and Charger Adapter DAC PD 60W Fast Charge Type C Aux Headphone Splitter is a practical 2 in 1 fix. You can keep using wired headphones while also powering your device, so you do not need to choose between charging and music. It also supports microphone and remote controls, which helps for calls, playback, pausing, and volume changes. 🎧
The adapter is designed around a dedicated DAC chip, aiming to deliver clean audio without unnecessary noise build-up. The manufacturer specifies hi fidelity audio output and a mic input mode, making it useful for everyday listening and even gaming sessions where clear sound matters. It is also built with a durable aluminium casing, which can handle daily knocks better than many lightweight alternatives.
For charging, the key point is support for PD 3.0 fast charge up to 60W, alongside Power Delivery and QC 3.0 related protocols. That means you can top up quickly when your device supports the relevant charging profile. Note that compatibility is not uniform across all brands and models, so it is worth checking before relying on it for your exact device.

What stands out
A strong differentiator here is the combination of audio and fast charging in one compact adapter, solving the common “USB C only” limitation for wired headphone users. With the audio connection, the manufacturer also states support for the microphone and all remote controls, including phone calls, playing or pausing music, and volume plus and minus. That is a helpful everyday detail if you use wired earbuds with an inline mic. 🎶
The manufacturer also positions the audio path for high fidelity playback by using the specified DAC chip and publishing the output formats and signal to noise figure. In practical terms, this matters if you are sensitive to hiss, muddiness, or distortion when listening at normal volumes. If you mainly use wired headphones for commuting, desk work, or gaming, having a stable analogue aux output can feel reassuring.
On the charging side, the adapter supports PD 3.0 up to 60W, with an additional note that it also follows other Power Delivery and QC 3.0 protocols such as 18W and related profiles. There is an important limitation for Galaxy S24 series users, where the manufacturer notes only PD 18W fast charging is supported, and it does not support Galaxy PPS 25W or 45W. Another limitation to be aware of is device compatibility with certain iPhones, specific Pixel models, and 2024 to 2025 M4 iPad Pro, Air, or Mini variants, where the charging function does not work properly. In those cases, the 3.5 mm audio jack works as intended. ⚠️
For durability, the aluminium casing is specified to help dissipate heat faster and to resist knocks and shocks, supporting longer everyday lifespan. It is also compact and lightweight, making it easier to keep in a pocket or backpack when you want wired audio on the go.
Who it’s for
It makes sense if you own a compatible USB C Android phone or tablet and you still prefer wired headphones, including models that rely on the aux microphone and inline controls. It is also a solid pick if you want one adapter that handles charging and aux audio at the same time during daily use. You’ll likely appreciate it most on commutes, at work, or when gaming where you want dependable sound without swapping accessories. ✅
It might not suit you if you have an iPhone 15 or newer model in the stated list, or a Pixel 8, Pixel 7, Pixel 6, or the specified 2024 to 2025 M4 iPad Pro, Air, or Mini models, because the charging side does not work properly. It may also not suit you if you specifically need PPS fast charging behaviours on Galaxy S24 beyond PD 18W. Before purchase, check your exact device model and the charging profile it supports, as that determines whether you get the faster charging experience.
If you are buying for shared household use, keep in mind that the aux audio function can work while charging may not, depending on the device. This adapter is therefore best approached as a feature match tool, audio plus charging where supported, rather than a universal charger that behaves identically with every phone.
