Description
The UGREEN AV161 USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter solves one of the most common frustrations of modern USB-C devices — the loss of a traditional headphone jack — without sacrificing sound quality. Unlike basic passthrough cables, the AV161 features a built-in independent DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) chip, delivering true Hi-Fi audio output up to 24-bit/96kHz, noticeably higher resolution than the standard 16-bit/48kHz found in many generic adapters.
This means clearer, more detailed sound whether you’re editing video with reference headphones, monitoring audio on a shoot, or simply listening to music on the go. The adapter fully supports in-line remote controls, so earphones with built-in volume buttons, playback controls, and microphones continue working exactly as expected — no lost functionality when switching from a traditional headphone jack.
Built for durability, the AV161 combines a scratch- and rust-resistant aluminum alloy shell with a nylon-braided cable rated for over 15,000 bend cycles, standing up to the daily wear of being tossed in a camera bag or backpack. At just 10cm long, it’s compact enough to stay permanently clipped to your device or camera accessory kit, ready whenever you need to plug in wired headphones, a car stereo, or a Hi-Fi system. Broadly compatible across USB-C smartphones, tablets, and laptops from major brands, this adapter is a small but genuinely essential accessory for anyone still relying on wired 3.5mm audio gear.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Why does this adapter need a DAC chip? Most USB-C devices don’t output analog audio directly, so a Digital-to-Analog Converter is required to properly drive 3.5mm headphones — the built-in DAC also improves audio resolution up to 24-bit/96kHz compared to basic passthrough adapters.
- Will my earphone’s volume buttons and mic still work? Yes, this adapter fully supports in-line remote controls, including volume adjustment, playback control, and calls.
- Is this compatible with my specific phone model? It supports a broad range of USB-C smartphones, tablets, and laptops — however, exact compatibility can vary slightly by device and software version, so we’d recommend confirming with us via WhatsApp if you’re using an older or less common model.
- How durable is the cable? The nylon-braided cable is rated for over 15,000 bend cycles, and the aluminum alloy shell resists scratches and rust.
- Can I use this with a car stereo or Hi-Fi system? Yes, it works with any standard 3.5mm audio equipment, including car stereos, speakers, and home Hi-Fi systems.
