Hi there, I don't have the original UsbC to Jack adapter that Xiaomi include and I am looking a way to connect my Jack headphones to the Mi9. Any suggestions ? I have a budget of 20 $ more or less. I like to have a "pro" DAC and connect it via OTG but I think all are too expensive, anyone can recommend a good and cheap dongle UsbC to Jack?
Thanks
The Google store sells a Pixel USB-C audio dongle well within your budget.
Tempotec Sonata HD or maybe iBasso DC01 or DC02 but its a bit over your budget.

Hello guys, I've just recently bought the Onkyo CS 555dab and tried connecting my galaxy s3 via text usb port to play music. But it doesn't even connect so I'm thinking the usb on the Onkyo isn't meant for Android and only ipod and flash drives. But I was looking at this device which I think would work but want to be sure before I buy it. My Onkyo has got optical and coaxial inputs at 24bit so I was thinking of usb to optical. I can't post links just yet but it's called USB Sound Box from maplins website.
I'd just use the usb from the galaxy to the usb sound box then optical lead from that to the hifi. Would this produce audio??
Also I used the 3.5mm jack to RCA and the sound is terribly low n no bass at all. I read bout EU regulations and them lowering the out it via headphone jacks.
Hope someone knows. Thank you.
Bump
Use a decent ROM with some jacked up audio improvements. I used 3.5mm to my stereo and the sound is superb.
There are a multitude of converters out there for just this.

The U11 will come with an active noise cancelling headphones. That's nice for listening on the air plane. But, if I watch movies or listen to music on a long flight, the phone may not have much juice left by the time I land. Is there anything that would allow charging and listening to headphones at the same time?
When you charge, use BT phones.

My impression, based on the HTC video, was that it's the microphones on the handset that receive the ambient sounds that are then cancelled out. If that is so would this not mean that any headphones connected would provide some noise cancelling capability (the function being carried out on the handset rather than the normal (in headset) method).
I understand that the HTC U11 headphones have mics on them and via the USB-C send that signal back to the phone for processing.
That's why the headphone replacement cost is still sub US$50.
It makes perfect sense and does away with the battery that usually come with ANC headphones. (http://us.akg.com/all-headphones/in-ear/N20+NC.html?dwvar_N20 NC_color=Black#start=1)
And apparently they are reporting now that the noise canceling function of the included headphones only works with this phone.

The headphones should work on any USB-C enabled phone (including the U Ultra), but the Noise Cancelling is a feature built into the U11.
You cant take it away from HTC to make available the U11 replacement headsets that support Active Noise Cancellation for under US$50.
The only other Smartphone that shipped with ANC headphones (in selected regions) was the Sony Xperia Z2 along with the Sony Digital Noise Cancelling Headset MDR-NC31EM that achieve similar benefits with the phone handling the ANC wizardy.

I found a solution for this. I was searching for USB C Hub and found some have pass through USB-C PD ports. There are different options in the hub. Some have HDMI output, Ethernet, SD card reader.... and they're expensive. I got one with just USB 3.1 ports for only $9.00 from Amazon. There problem is USB 3.1 ports are all Type A connectors. So, I have to get an USB 3.0 Type A Male to USB 3.1 Type C Female Converter Adapter, another $6.00 from Amazon. After that, I tested on the Google Pixel phone and the JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones. They work perfectly. The phone is charged in rapid mode and the headphones noice consolation works. Now, the hub and the adaptor is a little big and I will have to deal with it. it's not too bad when sitting still on the airplane seat. The more expensive hubs may be more compact.

This sounds promising, but doesn't really tell you if the USonic headphones will work with U11 in a similar setup.

This is the hub I tested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZONJ20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Smaller hub (ordering): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B..._title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1UF68VVAYTLD5
Type A to Type C Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7Q42QV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The headphones: JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones. $200 at HTC but I paid $50 from A4C.com last month.
The smaller one doesn't work (link below). The charge shows up as "Charge slowly" or just "Charge" without "Rapid" after unplug/plug a few times. The phone doesn't recognize the headphone when plug in to the USB-A port. I'm returning it. That's too bad because the size of it is much smaller than the other one and it looks much better too. . Do not buy it...

From the reviews I've seen the noise cancelling is negligible and enhanced more by the ear plug's noise isolation. Great for day to day listening in a noisy office but not great for plane or train rides. I'll stick to my Bose for noise cancelling on flights and use included headphones for day to day use.
Hi,
I picked up my U 11 a couple of days ago.
Using the U11 on the train worked very well. You can tell the difference when ANC is ON or OFF.
I would say it's comparable to my Sony Bluetooth Active Noise Cancelling Headphones.

Well my carrier sent me the JBL E55BT as a gift on top of my U11. Got to say as I'm not the most audiophile: I really love them! Good sound regarding all frequencies, at least in my humble opinion.

Some of you may agree but some may disagree. The audio output of the 3.5mm headphone jack is far to quiet.
A cheap and easy solution to this is I bought the USB-C to 3.5mm DAC from HTC. Join the HTC club and it was £5.95 with free next day delivery.
Much louder and very good quality. Can't find any specification on what BIT the DAC is and I don't have the tools to measure it but its far better than the build in 3.5mm jack.

I've got tinnitus in my right ear from constantly having a headphone in it for a number of years. I used to always listen on the loudest volume. With the xperia xz you can have active noise cancelling headphones, I can warmly recommend the nc31em in ear, I bought a pair for 15 bucks and it uses the processor of the phone so you don't have to carry a big dongle. Now I can listen at half volume and still hear everything better than I did before!
I received a Griffin iTrip Clip Bluetooth headphone adapter so I could be wire free from my phone and found this improved the loudness and remained good quality audio. You may get a bit of breakage occasionally if multitasking but for £14 from Amazon, it's a cracking piece of kit!
Fantastic solution
I have followed the steps of signing up for HTC Club, and ordering the adapter straight away. It really came next day with no extra charge for delivery. And oh boy, the sound is amazing! I am bit of geek when it comes to headphones, so i have a multiple different types. The difference between using the audio jack output of the phone and using the usb c adapter is NIGHT and DAY. Not only loudness is incomparable higher, the pure quality of the sound is improved in every way. I do not believe that there is DAC hidden in the adapter, as it is quite small and low priced. What makes difference in my opinion is the additional power phone can send to the headphones by using the USB C out. Difference is so big, that this workaround can be seen as hidden features to extent, as Sony has not said a thing about using your USB C out for audio. Now I truly understand why the removal of headphone jack make sense as even phones with not the best DAC and AMP can produce great sound thanks to power of USB C.
In case of Sony Xperia XZ however, it looks as DAC is of a top- notch quality(it officially supports Hi-Res codecs after all) but the AMP is criminally under-powered and so combined with Sony obeying EU regulations for safe listening volume converts to quality sound but on quiet side. But thanks to this adapter the DAC is no longer tied to volume level set by headphone jack.
Everyone who owns this phone must buy this, especially considering the low price of the adapter. You need hear it to believe it.

Two kinds of USBC to 3.5mm Adapters, beware.
Just so folks know, there are two types of USB-C 3.5mm adapters out there - Digital and Analog.
All decent phones should support the Digital adapters, since they are just USB Audio Class devices made small. You could also plug them into a PC. Because they contain the DAC and amplifier, they will be spendy.
However, the $2 Passive adapters have no DAC in them. They trigger a special mode of the phone that basically puts the USB-C jack into an analog 3.5mm mode and the rest is just plastic and metal. The DAC is in the phone. The phone has to specifically support this mode, and will likely indicate USB-C Analog Accessory Mode in their specifications. Xperia XZ Premium does NOT support this mode, and never will - it has to be built into the hardware.
Just sayin.

Because people are trying different USB Audio headphones. Sony is not in control of their quality or amplification since the DAC and amp are in the headphones. For those using different 3.5mm headsets, their quality varies greatly. Sony expects folks to buy theirs, preferably with their active noise canceling that they wrote software for. It works well but as stated, they are not very loud.

ok so I have an audio system in my car, and volume in headphones gets super low compared to CD (I know CD quality is the best you can get i think) but still its VERY very low compared to it, in aux on 13db I get same loudness as 7db in CD, which means I have to turn it on almost twice as much as a cd to hear same loudness, (why dont I simply turn my audio more than usual on a cd?) because I like listening to very loud music and I some times get to 23db on a cd and its very loud and on aux i must reach at least 40db to get close to being as loud but my audio system only supports up to 30db so I am getting aux loudness of 15-16db compared to CD.
will the usb 3.0 to AUX DAC help me get louder volume?
The original type c adaptor thats included is weak in terms of volume so I've been using the essential ph-1 type c adaptor which boosts volumes considerably higher.
Unfortunately I've lost it! So now on the hunt of a good replacement
Any recommendations that people have bought?

I use the one from Pixel and it's much better than stock. It has built in DAC.
Does the phone know to let the dongle DAC do the audio conversion or does it still try to push analog for the dongle to 'pass-thru'?
i wouldnt use any other adaptor than the stock. i would prefer to give 20-30 euros for the stock from official huawei

stock dongle is like 5-10 bucks
Not much here besides to confirm that the apple usb-c to 3.5mm works well, just picked one up from the apple store. Koss portapros sound fine to my ears with spotify. Don't have audiophile ears by any means but cranked to max volume, it's just about right for me so ymwv. Bluetooth might be better but over here in Canada, there's far greater chance of running into an Apple store/retailer than it is to find a shop thats even heard of Huawei let alone going to stock a "Huawei" USB audio dongle lol if you want to keep a wired solution.
Coming from honor 8 with 3.5mm native, I'd probably be on 1/2 to 2/3rds volume.
When i got the P20 Pro in October i was astonished at how BAD the audio quality and volume output was. That was using the supplied official usb-c to 3.5mm cable of course.
I found the same using the P30 Pro using the same cable.
Then i discovered there is cables out there with much better DAC's in the cables - as its digital to analogue cable. Bottom line problem solved....deep bass, clear mids, and sweet treble.
This is the cable i got https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KW3XYQX

To be honest i havent tried with headphones - i use the phone mainly in the car for music using the AUX input to the sound system. It was really bad quality before i got the new cable. Transformed the sound completely, like buying a new hifi lol.
The headphones i do use tend to require an amp to get the most out of them, AKG K550 and Sennheiser HD590......
I am surprised that none of the reviews picked up on this cable short coming, particularly in the P20 Pro reviews since it comes with a cable.....

I have their wireless headphones, Freelace, but it's annoying because when using on my P30 Pro the sound vs video is delayed (1-2 seconds). Tryed in dev option to change codec, but still an issue. I hoped that in EMUI 10 they will sort it out, but is the same. And seeing your post made me remember of my AKG from Samsung headphones, to give them a chance since they are never used
Yeah, strange. Maybe no one had any interests in promoting this cable or no one ever care
Gonna give it a try (when back in stock).
