Good USB/AUX combo that works and is cheap - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I saw the 45 dollar one google says and said no, is there a cheaper, good one? its been months! if not, can I break out the solder and make one myself? where can I buy the realtek chips?

If you need anything from Google (the shipping will probably be as much as the cable otherwise), try one of the $5 there. Even if it doesn't work at all (and from what I've seen, 3rd party accessories like that work as well as the factory ones) you only lose a few bucks, and have a C connector, an earphone jack and cable (and whatever may or may not be inside them). (Or there are a load of them on eBay for under a buck if you're willing to wait a month for shipping - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...15&_nkw=usb+c+earphone+adapter&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1 )
On second reading, the Pixel 2 only seems to implement digital audio, and most of the cheap devices assume analog audio, so probably not - you have to ask each vendor. The digital ones (with the DAC inside) seem to be cheaper than Google, but it's still a wait for China Post (https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-C-Digi...936141?hash=item48a1f6914d:g:RucAAOSwL4BZsKvr ).

What Gido5731 fails to make clear yet again is that he is looking for an adapter that can charge via USB-C while outputting music.

Ahh. Cheaper? I think the only one available at the moment is the Moshi - $44.95 is the best (and only) price I've seen. I expect that we'll see some Chinese knockoffs in the future (at much reduced prices) - after all, the P2 is going to be current for at least 3 years, and a lot of people will keep them for another 2 or 3 years after that, so anyone making a dongle will have customers for a long time.

That sucks, I really am pretty sure I could do it cheaper by mutilating a 10 dollar one, but oh well...

You could probably add a DAC chip to a $6 one.
Then again ... I was looking for the chip itself (I bookmarked it, but I deleted that bookmark) and I found this one on Amazon for only $17.80. Not $10, but not $45 either. Pixel 2 and 2 XL are specifically listed. (Yeah, I know, it should work with any device with digital output to the C connector.)

Maybe this but cost 48... (woops i cant put because im a new user , the adapter dodocool Hi-Res Headphone Adapter Type-C USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack Adapter)
Sure that this adapter has better audio output than any that comes in a smartphone, obviously costs 48 dollars but it is to give a high jump in quality.

Couldnt I just solder a new USBC head onto that one and get the same thing?

I don't know - could you? Can you trace the cable out to the DAC to know what goes where? If you could, you probably can.

You can put a DAC but the problem is compatibility with pixel 2, because not all of them work in pixel 2

I got some more dongles, going to try to add a second usbc to one of them soon

The only great thing about monster is the profit margin they make stores. God I used to love convincing people how they "needed" a monster cable to get things to work the way they should. Of course this was when I made commision way back when I sold them lol.

Yep. Bought that one for the car and bought 2 6ft ones for indoors. All work flawlessly.
I ordered some generic cables on eBay and they work just fine. I do like the way that the micro usb side of the cable that came with the phone is angled, making it easier to plug in in the dark.
I've looked online and found the Samsung replacement part but it appears they are only 2' 9" long (which is a LOT shorter than the cable that came with the phone).
Here's one of the sites where I found this:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38609&cat=888
Has anyone seen a longer (and possibly cheaper) cable like this?
Thanks!

Just buy the monoprice cable and score the right side of the microusb end with a knife or something so you can easily insert it in the dark.
Anyone seen one that is at a right angle that goes in the phone instead up straight up?
So when plugged in, in the car and mounted it doesn't go up like 2 inches before it turns back down.
**nevermind found one on ebay (searched usb cable micro angled)
I bought a 2 pack of retractable cables on ebay for portable charging. To my surprise they work to transfer data, too. It's interesting because the last retractable phone cable I bought could only be used to charge (samsung instinct)
Bought mine from NewEgg and an expensive one is about $15. I choose some that were $4 a piece. Works great
Just placed my order for 2 6ft ones. One to have at work and one at home.

do not get right angle! I made that mistake, it covers the 3.5 mm audio.
get an "Up angle" for a while usbfirewire.com was the only vendor and was $16 to $20 shipped depending on length, but they recently started showing up on ebay for $7 shipped.
I got an up angle from this vendor and it came fairly fast for hong kong (abut 7 days) and was a very good gauge and quality:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Usb-male-AM-up-angle-90-degree-micro-B-cable-/390255590008
$7 shipped
Can anyone recommend a *thin and flexible* USB charging cable? I bought these from Amazon and although they work fine, they are too stiff and thick and I am worried that they will damage my port with prolonged use since I have to bend the cable before the phone lies flat on the table while charging. There are many other options out there but it is hard to judge by the picture how thin and flexible the cable is. I am looking for something as thin and flexible as the OEM cable. Thanks
Got mine in the mail the other day. Took about 3 days or so to get. Very quick shipping. The usb part that plugs into the phone is pretty snug.

usb chrager cable not working well

Hi
I bought a cheap Chinese USB charger cable for my N4 and I feel like it doesn't charge as well as the original... (although I use the same AC power)
Could it be ? or is it just me ?
It's the cheap cabling, I have the same issue with cheap 3 metre cabling I bought on eBay.

get a proper usb cable, i got a cheap Chinese one and the usb split on one side and the connection to the phone was too short so i had to cut some of the insulation off.

It's not that I don't wanna pay, or that I look for cheap one.. but still there are some limits
Just looking for good one. Friend bought few cables, they were so stiff I was afraid they will break if you wiggle them, and micro usb port was also hard to inject into phone..was afraid to break micro usb port..
Was looking on LG web, couldn't find it for buy..
So, looking if someone have experience with some particular cable. TnX
Best cables I have ever used. Very high quality, they feel very much like (dare I say it), Apple cables with the hard shell.

I use the monoprice premium cables too. Had it for a couple months and no breaks yet. And life time warranty. Better than the amazon basic cables.
Ah yes, already checked monoprice, looks like good quality cables, but problem is that they don't ship to my country
And even if they did, I checked country next to mine, price would be ~20$, so..
TnX anyway
Try amazon. I bought mine through there.
Have you thought about wireless chargers? Fry's usually has those for about $20, and they come with a USB cord.

Replacement USB-C to 3.5mm adapter?

I don't even know why Motorola trusted me with this tiny ass adapter But I lost the darn thing in a day. Does anyone know where to find a replacement that isn't from China and won't take a month to get here? I tried contacting Motorola about it but all they said was contact Verizon, which is useless considering they don't sell it. Any advice?
Not an answer, but similar question...does anyone know if a usb c to 3.5 mm male cord exists?
My headphones have a removeable cord 3.5mm male on both ends...itd be nice to have a cable as opposed to an adapter.

Yeah they're pretty cheap, but they all come from China.
I am thinking that will be the only option as the original is from China...and I briefly looked into it when I first bought the phone, I was then unlucky enough to receive a defective device and returned it for a replacement...well the adapter was in the bag not the box so I got a spare for the inconvenience of returning to the store.
Bump. Has anyone found a seller in the states? The only places that seem to sell them are from China.
Honestly, if you're a regular listener to music it might be time to go BT.
I've been using BT almost exclusively for a long time and and it's really nice.
First, no tangling of cords. No having to un-knot the mess when you take 'em out of your pocket or bag... no worry about snagging them on something when I'm sitting on the bus communicating to work.
Second, additional controls. Most BT headsets have controls for volume as well as track control so you can adjust without having to open the music app on your phone if you playing a game, checking email, or reading a book. Or...
Third, you don't need to be right next to your phone. You could have your phone tucked away in a purse or bag or briefcase or backpack and still listen to music. Or you could have it sitting on the charge on the counter while you're moving around the house... as long as you're not too far away of course.
Not, I'm not a serious audiophile, so I admit that there may be some degradation of sound quality going via BT. It's no problem for me, but I can understand that it might be so for some people. But unless your the type that really needs super good sound quality... or you just don't have the extra cash handy, BT is the way to go in my humble opinion.

I too only found ones from China, and I finally found a listing in the US for the exact same product in the chinese listings, the white one, and I bought 3 of them. Huge mistake, don't go for them. They don't support stereo headphones :silly:
Huge waste of money. I too decided to go bluetooth as the poster above me, I use a pair of Beats Studio 2.0 (I know you guys hate beats, blah blah blah) and they work great. I did manage to RMA my phone though, as I was having some issues with the power button, and they just sent me a completely new Moto Z Force Droid in box, so I have a spare turbo charger and a new headset adapter

Just came across two eBay listings for what appear to be OEM replacement adapters (SKN6474A), thought I'd share (after I bought two for myself, natch). Kinda weird: same seller, but the first link is for $7.99 Buy-It-Now, the 2nd is for $9.99 but accepting offers. Haven't received them yet so can't say for sure they're the real deal, but the seller has 100% with 150 ratings. Act quick!

Pixel 2 XL USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle replacement - Canada?

Anyone have a good replacement dongle that works? I can't find one with reasonable reviews on Amazon.ca
It may be easiest to order one from Google directly. It's about $10 Canadian with shipping included.
Not all USB C Audio dongles will work with the pixel 2 as a dongle can't take audio directly from the wires in the USB port and connect them to your headphones. That's how many of the adapters work for other phones. There needs to be a small chip inside the adapter, a DAC (digital to audio converter, basically a little sound card), that talks to the pixel 2 and converts the audio information into electricity that powers your headphones. That may not sound so straightforward, but I guess simplicity isn't the game with the pixel 2 audio adapter. But there are benefits to this solution, as there are some downsides like it being a requirement.
If you search around the forums, there is a list of other audio adapters that work (I saw it in the regular pixel 2 forums), but getting one from Google is the simplest and pretty much least expensive option at the moment.
delete nvm sry.
Edit: I'd order direct from Google. It's so cheap compared to other options.
Having said that though, I'm convinced there is a sound difference with the HTC U11's adapter quality being better than the stock one. However, not worth the price difference here in Australia ($44 for the HTC vs $12 for the Google delivered).

Question USB-C to 3.5mm converter

Question: I just bought a converter, but neither the S22U nor S8+ recognizes it.
Granted, it said for xiaomi but I thought they're all the same.
Is this because of the latest USB-C 3.2 format? or am I missing something ?
It needs to have a built in DAC.

I bought mine from Walmart and it works just fine. It even works with microphones or headsets. It's Walmart's cheap "onn" brand. I bought three or four of them because I always lose them. As far as quality goes, they feel and sound as good as any other one does, and they're only like five bucks.
I'm pretty sure these kind of links are allowed. I haven't been on here in a while since Samsung has been BL locking all their US devices....

To be honest. You would probably be better off just getting a new set of USB-C headphones. They cost from around $9 to $30 with the average around $15 or so. The amount of money you are going to spend on a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor will be about the same as you would spend on a pair of USB-C headphones.
Use the one from Apple. It works fine and cheap.
I'm using the one from Google (bought at BestBuy for $13) and it works great!
I bought a cheap one and work just fine after the last USB-C audio update via Galaxy Store. My problem is that when I am using on a phone call the micro doesn't work! Any solution?

I stand corrected. Bad assumption on my part.
Is the same rule true for USB-C headphones, do the cheap ones work or do the headphones need to have a special (expensive) chip inside?
Do Xiaomi compatible cheap USB-C headphones (with microphone) work?

I'm not sure. It should, but the OP stated the one he had was Xiaomi and it didn't work with his S22U.
I do know the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter works. My daughter has one. I tested it on my S22U, Tab S7, and her S22 and it worked with no problems. It cost $9.99 at Best Buy and around $8.27 at Amazon.
You don't need to worry if it includes a DAC since that is handled in the phone. If it wasn't the speakers and microphones wouldn't work.

I gave up on buying a converter/ adapter and already ordered earbuds. But I still want to have headphones around, and obviously they have to be USB-C.
So I was looking at some (USB-C) headphones today, some of them were quite cheap, some were labeled "Xiaomi compatible". Was wondering if they'd work with the S22U.
Do those (cheap) USB-C headphones work with the S22U or do they have a DAC problem as well?

I don't think it's a DAC problem. I think it's a wiring problem. Xiaomi may not be implementing the USB-C specification fully or properly. USB-C is a connector standard, not a protocol standard. Just because a device has a USB-C port doesn't mean it fully supports USB 3.x protocols. For example, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a USB-C port, but uses USB 2.0 standard.
As far as cheap USB-C headphones, as long as the manufacturer adheres to the proper USB-C pin-outs then they should work. I ordered these for my daughter's S22. They are the exact same headphones I use on my S22U and Tab S7.
Skull Candy and manufacturers also make USB-C headphones that are under $30.

Is the same rule true for USB-C headphones, do the cheap ones work or do the headphones need to have a special (expensive) chip inside?
Do Xiaomi compatible cheap USB-C headphones (with microphone) work?

DACs for these aren't expensive but the headphones will not work without one.
Output from the C port is in the digital not analog realm thus the need for a DAC.
It's easier to use the Buds+ or similar Samsung bt ear bud. Otherwise use the Samsung 3.5 mm audio dongle, it's $15.

Again. You are putting out bad information. The DAC is in the phone, not in the headphones. If there were no DAC in the phone, the speakers would not work.
I bought an adaptor to be able to use my old Paypal and Square 3.5mm credit card reader swiper but for some unknown reason it don't work the card pay apps don't seem to recognize it ?
Wondering if anyone out there using it for the same reason has found a solution ?

Just a guess but the app isn't ported to use it.
