USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle for Pixel

mr selfdestruct · 13th February 2018, 09:51

I can't find these anywhere. I bought some cheap USB-C to 3.5 jack dongles off Ali express but none of them work with my Pixel 2. I can't buy them from the Google store because they're not in the NZ one and the other Google stores won't ship to NZ.

Anyone know where I can get a compatible dongle from?

Oooh maybe! It looks like it might be a bit bulky cos you cant really tell how big it is and it doesnt say the length of the cable (anywhere on the internet) but I'll ask that shop. I've been googling USB C to 3.5 but maybe I should have been looking for USB C to 'audio'.

Thanks MadMaxii

Checking with the importer, the cable is around 200mm and the audio end around 60X40mm.

Cool. Just need to find out if its compatible with Google Pixel 2.

IMO it looks more like a USB sound-card for a PC; it would not surprise me to find it's incompatible with your phone.

mr selfdestruct · 15th February 2018, 17:49

Yeah could be right Crocos, it does look suspect that it has a microphone port eh? :P

Well, there are phone dongles around that have mic plugs (EG iRig for the iPhone)... but yes.

Apple makes 23 different dongles — and it would cost you $857US to buy them all.

To be fair, they'd all have the Lightening connector, so you'd know it was going to work, unlike here when you don't know if it's a phone-compatible USB sound card or just something for the PC.

To be fair, if Google just sold their shit in NZ it wouldnt be an issue
