> "what's wrong with a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter"

I want to charge and listen to music at the same time.





You 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.

Doesn't any such cable/adapter violate the USB-C spec? https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/10xj74r/why_d...

Depends 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".

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?
