And so Samsung subjugates its patrons to the dongle life :( On the one hand, I love my Note10+ as a power user, Dex makes my life so much easier and the added on board computing power are awesome. That and I love my Spen, I use it constantly. However, as an audio enthusiast I am dismayed that I cannot connect my headphones directly to my phone. Admittedly I also carry a dedicated high-res music player much of the time, but not always and though the phone doesn't match my player's performance there is still a noticeably better sound quality using wired headphones, even over the aptX codec (sorry Qualcomm). Not only that, but when I am in a car that has an Aux cord but not a Bluetooth connection, what am I supposed to do? Not to mention, I drive a lot of rental cars for work and don't want to connect my phone to the Bluetooth in a car I am renting. Regardless of how I feel about the necessity for this dongle, its performance is good so I cannot fault the dongle itself but the removal of the headphone jack from the latest samsung phones hurts.

Needed this to plug in a standard analog headphone jack into newer Android phone with only USB-C. Also some newer laptops only have USB-C ports allowing me to use an older analog headset/mic combo. Cheaper than other brands, and works great.

I have a pair of OLD SKULL CANDY ear phones Can't Remember where I bought them ,but the Sound is Incredible, PROBLEM..?. The New NOTE 10+ 5k DOSEN'T have the Phone jack anymore. SOLUTION.!, ; THIS little (DONGLE) as my TECHIE ROOMMATE CALLS IT , PLUGS IN THE NEW PHONE'S CHARGING SPOT, AND YOU'RE LISTENING. I JUST WOULDN'T GIVE UP THE SOUND QUALITY , IM NOT A FAN OF WIRELESS PHONES YET.

I bought this adapter because Samsung did away with the headphone jack on their Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphone. Samsung should have included this cable with the phone as an included accessory, but instead, they make it an option that you have to buy separately. It certainly isn't cheap for such a simple cable adapter that probably cost them next to nothing to manufacture, but it does work, unlike other budget branded USB type C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapters that I had tried before this one. Samsung's own adapter does work: call quality is crisp, and the audio is good/ That's all that mattered in the end for me.

It's a shame that a lot of the high end phones (like my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G) don't come with a headphone jack anymore. Nevertheless, this turned out to be a necessity for my line of work, so this will pay for itself in the long run.
