Not all usb-c cables are created the same. Benson Leung at Google has reviewed numerous cables, and there are quite a few non-compliant cables. These cables can result in weird, or even dangerous behavior.

If you don't want to risk anything make sure you always use the compliant cables/adapters
Do we get USB 2.0 or 3.0?? I don't know what cable to get (I am in Europe if that will make a difference with model and such).
Need long 2ft 3ft cables
good quality

Snapdragon Note 7 Variants have USB Type C with USB 3.1.
Exynos Note 7 Variants have USB Type C with USB 2.0
Thanks for this thread. I plan on keeping the original cables wrapped for whenever I sell the phone, so this thread helps with good alternatives.
What about adapters? I just bought these hoping they will work fine. Planning to use my existing cables and will be keeping one in my keychain for when I'm at a place where there's only micro usb.

If I only want to use them for charging does it matter which one I get? I'll just use the original samsung one for data transfer at home but I need charging cables for my office and car.

Does anyone know if a type c splitter or adapter exists that splits the port allowing for the use of 3.5mm headphones and charging simultaneously? I've only seen an adapter by belkin for apple's lightning port. Thanks!
You need a USB-C hub with charging support. I don't know of any that have been verified to work.
Hoping for something like this as well.

The battery of LP3 is excellent so no need to charge and listen at the same time. Or get a BT headset or BT receiver if you gonna use it to your primitive car. =D

unfortunately, there are times when i need to make a call (voice or video) outside of my car and the battery is low, requiring a charge (such as on a flight). bluetooth headphones aren't always readily available (or charged), so I'd rather not be at the mercy of a single port/cable. But yes, the battery is awesome and don't have any issues with that. I just like having options in case of an "emergency." I don't want to have to choose between taking a call or charging my phone.
Any update
any update on this?
I just bought the phone and I need to use the headphone adapter as well as a midi keyboard, if that's not possible its going back - bluetooth audio is not an option, there is a delay.

How convenient! You knew that the phone has no 3.5mm port and that there is no official adapter and yet you ordered it and will return it for what?
Delay? Even a cheap BT headset does not cause any delay while listening to music or streaming video or casting to TV.

Yes I knew there was no headset and yes I will be returning it. And yes it is convenient since there is a hassle free return from Amazon. I needed a phone since mine broke so I bought the Le Pro 3, which seems to have pretty good performance but on the long run it will not help for what I need.
As far as a bluetooth headset, that is not an option since the output needs to be connected to a mixer or a DI etc and not to headphones, so if anyone knows if a usb type c hub will work, let me know... before the 30 days of the return period please! :laugh:

I thought I'd share an update for people that may need this:
I used a usb type-c to usb 3 adapter and plugged in a usb 3 hub (by Unitek). I plugged in the cheapest/smallest usb card that I had (Gigaware, bought it from Radioshack years ago) and the phone recognized it as a sound card right away (auto enabling CDLA), then I plugged in a midi keyboard on the usb hub and everything worked.

Have you tried either of those? Neither seems to have any reviews. All the ones I see on Amazon seem to have poor reviews. Surprising there isn't a good option for this kind of product yet.

I tried searching for "3.5 usb c braided" but nothing showed up as a splitter. The word "lightning" in your description sounds like an iPhone product.
I did try an item off of amazon but had to return it because only the audio worked. Ampere would show that it was connected but it would still show as discharging instead of charging. I hesitate to take a chance, even if it's only several dollars on something without a free return/shipping promise.

Except those are lighting adapters for iPhones, not ubc adapters.
Edit - The photo clearly shows a lightning adapter. In the description farther down the page it discusses using it for the iPhone, but in the "item specifics" it says USB C. Hmmmm.
Edit 2 - One of the reviews shows that it is USB C as you have said.

I have Honestly no way to understand how Motorola will now refuse to sell the USB C headphone adaptor to its customers that pay 750.00 on the MOTO Z FORCE. I honestly can not believe I purchased this phone and NO WAY TO UNLOCK (Verizon) OR ROOT???????!!!!!!!!!!
If you purchase this adaptor on amazon or ebay you will not find one that works or it will not last long so does anyone one have a suggestion as to how we can find this Adaptor??? Can't get it from Verizon or Motorola so what do we do????
Perhaps they didn't understand what you wanted? Anyway, there have been threads like this before. Here are a couple:

I ended up getting a replacement for free. When you call, be nice and try to speak clearly. If the person you talk to won't help you, call again. Don't ask for a free one, just explain your situation. If they don't offer to send you one call and talk to someone else.
I also ordered these ones from Amazon;

They work just like the original. I ended up using shrink tubing to "permanently" attach an adapter to my main pair of headphones. The other I use in my with truck.

Tell them you lost the usb type-C to auxiliary adapter for using wired headset with your phone.
they transferred me to another dept, where person took all my info, IMEI of phone and shipping address. Told me a manager will get back to me via email if any are available. but the next day the only email I received was with the FedEx tracking number saying that my order had shipped.)
This Method does work, But please note they will ask for IMEI Number to see if you have warranty in my case i do with extended warranty and i was then told it would take 3 to 5 days but the adapter is on the way.
Hope this helps.

Intersting. The description says they're CDLA, That should mean they have a DAC built in. How do they sound?

I can't hear a difference between using the included adapter and the one from Amazon.

I have the Rancco adaptor from Amazon, too. I can't tell the difference between the one that came with the Z and the Rancco (as far as sound). They sound great. It was $6.99 for two.
Can anyone post a link to a reasonably priced USB-C to 3.5mm/Charging port adapter that works with the PH-1? Every adapter I found on eBay or Amazon states they are only for Moto phones and do not work on Pixel's or Galaxies, so I assume they will not work on the PH-1.
The one on the Google Store for the Pixel 2 works from what I hear. I'd double-check though.
I bought many cheap ones off of eBay and none worked. I finally bought the Moshi one listed on the Google store and still does not work. Anyone able to find one?

The cheap ones don't work.
You need the ones that say "built in DAC".
The Moshi adapter does have DAC. The 3.5mm audio portion of it worked. The charger port did not charge the phone. I'm looking for a dual 3.5mm/USB-C charging adapter.

My son has the Moshi adapter for his Pixel 2 and I tested it out on the Essential.
I found that it worked. You can listen and charge at the same time. I put a USB power meter on the output of the 2.1A USB-A charging brick and found it will charge with that style power source at about 1A and it doesn't matter if you're listening or not. The same power adapter directly connected without the Moshi dongle goes at about 1.5A. This is an older non-USB PD spec power brick. Don't have a USB C power meter so can't check with something like the OEM Essential power brick. In theory, the Moshi dongle supports USB-PD so you might get faster charging.
FWIW, the lack of headphone adapter bothers me and my most critical use case is the ability to charge and listen in a non-Bluetooth car. The Moshi dongle is pretty clunky for any use IMO. Ended up buying an inexpensive Bluetooth receiver for the car and it works great.

Moshi sells it directly (https://www.moshi.com/usb-c-digital-audio-adapter-with-charging.
That is where my son purchased it. Looks like they are out of stock right now. Every time I've looked at this product listed on the Google Store its always "coming soon". Have no idea if its ever been in stock there.
