I want to charge and listen to music at the same time.
- tzs 10mo agoYou can get adapters that support charging. An example is linked below. Note: I have not tried this. It is simply offered as an example to show they are available. https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Charger-Charging-Earphones-Compatible/dp/B09JZS3645?th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Charger-Charging-Earphones-...
- progval 10mo agoDoesn't any such cable/adapter violate the USB-C spec? https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/10xj74r/why_dont_usbc_extension_cables_work/j7svggo/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/10xj74r/why_d...
- Marsymars 10mo agoDepends how it's implemented. USB-C extension cables aren't allowed, but pass-through charging is allowed. I suspect a $7 cable from a Chinese amazon seller is not spec-compliant, but e.g. Belkin sells a spec-compliant "3.5mm Audio + USB-C Charge Adapter".
- citrusybread 10mo ago>Note: I have not tried this. Nice. They don't work on Pixels if they don't have a DAC, because Google in its infinite wisdom decided not to include one on the Pixel series. And cables like these violate the USB spec. Again: what was the harm in including a 3.5mm jack?
