UGREEN USB-C to 3.5mm Audio and Charger Adapter, 60W

Key points

The main draw is straightforward: this adapter lets you use wired 3.5mm headphones while charging a USB-C device, so audio and power can share the connection at the same time.

Its built-in DAC supports 24-bit/96 kHz audio, and the adapter is designed for plug-and-play use without drivers. That makes it useful for listening at a desk, in a car, or with a handheld gaming device.

The USB-C port is for charging only. The 3.5mm jack supports one TRRS microphone, which matters if you plan to use a headset for calls or game chat.

How to use it

Connect the adapter to your device, plug wired headphones or another 3.5mm audio connection into the jack, then connect a charger to the USB-C port when you need power. The listed charging support includes PD 3.0 and QC 3.0, with output up to 60W, the actual charging rate depends on the device and charging setup.

Keep in mind that Samsung devices are limited to 15W with this adapter: Samsung PPS 25W and PPS 45W charging are not supported. Also, the USB-C port does not transfer data, so this is not a substitute for a USB-C hub or data adapter.

Practical tips

For a simple everyday use case, connect your phone to a car stereo through its aux input, then add a charger while navigation or audio keeps running. At a desk, the same setup can pair wired headphones with charging during a long call or listening session. The adapter also supports a single TRRS microphone, which can help keep headset mic use available for calls, meetings, and game chat.

Check the audio plug before buying if microphone input matters: the listed requirement is a single TRRS mic. The product is described as compatible with a range of USB-C phones, tablets, laptops, and gaming devices, including iPhone, Galaxy, iPad, Steam Deck, and Switch 2 models, amazon Fire Max is specifically excluded. If you mainly need data transfer or a connection for more than one microphone, a different adapter design would make more sense.

Questions before you buy

Can I charge and listen at the same time? Yes. That is the purpose of the two-in-one design: 3.5mm audio and charging are available simultaneously.

Can I use a headset microphone? Yes, if it is a single TRRS microphone. The listed 3.5mm connection does not claim support for multiple microphones.

Does the USB-C port transfer files? No. It supports charging only, so choose a separate data-capable adapter if file transfer is part of your setup.

Is it worth it?

Without having tried it, the case for this UGREEN adapter comes down to whether you still use wired audio and want to charge at the same time. A solid pick if that two-in-one function solves a regular problem, especially for a phone, tablet, or gaming device with a compatible USB-C port. Not the best choice if you need USB-C data, Samsung PPS fast charging, or support for Amazon Fire Max. Compared with a basic headphone dongle, this one adds charging and microphone support, compared with a more capable hub, it stays focused on audio and power rather than data connections.
