Fantastic
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible for the price, the only downside being it DOES NOT SUPPORT SUPER FAST CHARGING. It DOES support Fast Charging. The audio quality from the headphones and to the microphone is just as good as it is if directly plugged into the phone. It also doesn't heat up AT ALL under heavy load, which was incredibly surprising and I'm very pleased about it. Even when it gets stuck under blankets and an electric blanket, it doesn't warm up at all.

WORKS GREAT ON PHONES WITH NATIVE USB-C HEADSET S
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WORKS GREAT ON PHONES WITH NATIVE USB-C HEADSET SUPPORT REVIEW: Belkin - Connect 46' USB Type C-to-USB Type C Adapter – Black Best Buy Tech Insider Network I can only comment on my phones (OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 7 Pro). ONE PLUS 6 – NO GO I use my OnePlus 6 with USB-C headphones, the trick is to turn on a feature called OTG in settings, then it will recognize a USB-C headphone. I’ve been using this “trick” forever. If I plug the Belkin Dongle into my phone then the headset into the dongle it works fine, UNTIL I plug in USB power. Then the audio drops and it won’t come back no matter what I do other than rebooting the phone. The phone does charge through the dongle, but alas it is only one or the other. If I use the ONE PLUS “DASH” quick charger I can’t even get it to charge through the dongle. ONE PLUS 7 PRO – PERFECT FUNCTIONALITY - but it does not fit through my 3rd party case. On this phone, it works as it should. However, the connector is a lot thicker than what comes standard with my USB-Headphones from OnePlus. So that when I try to use it with my 3rd part case (wallet style) the USB-C port won’t connect (insert) all the way. So, in order for me to use this I would have to remove my case each time (or buy a new case, which cost more than the adapter). I can recommend this, but make sure you test it with your exact gear, so you can return it, within the return window if it does not work or fit. I assume you must have a phone that natively supports USB-C headsets, and not a phone like mine you have to trick to supporting it by turning on OTG. Not a knock on Belkin, a lot of these gadgets wont universally work on everything.

Works As Advertised
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always been a fan of Belkin. They consistently make good stuff at an affordable price. This was no different. Works as advertised. If you have a need, this is a great choice. End of day, I would certainly recommend it to a friend. **PLEASE NOTE** This product was provided to me at no cost in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. This review is exactly that: Honest and unbiased. The price played no role in the tone or honesty of this review.

USB-C charger works as advertised
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received the USB-C to USB-C charger and while its purpose is to charge and listen to music on headphones, I'm using it to charge two devices at the same time. The charge appears to go pretty fast. No issues with the setup and having a long cord is a nice feature.

Solves a common problem
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am generally not too fond of carrying extra devices with me when I am on the road, but every so often you find a device that is so simple and so effective, that you don't mind the tiny bit of space it takes up in your backpack or brief case. I generally use blue tooth earbuds when listening to music on my phone, but every so often, they run out of power in a place I can't readily power them up. I have a spare set of earbuds in my backpack that uses a USB type C connector. This of course limits my ability to charge my phone while using them. This device solves that problem. I can use my wired headset and charge the phone simultaneously. Honestly, there are times when I prefer the wired earbuds for clarity and conference calls and now I do not have to worry about running out of power. This is a great small device to carry with you. It is super light weigh and is worth the peace of mind.

If you USB C devices then you need this...
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Belkin did great with this one, can use the charging from either port while you use the other port for USB C headphones, or other range of USB devices. I always like Belkin because I can trust it with my high end devices like my phone and expensive tablets.

For when you need two USB C ports
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are in the age of dongles. If you need charge and play music to a wired set of headphones then you'll need this dongle. Works as advertised and the only way around it is if you have wireless headphones, which will also need to be charged.

Either defective or poor quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a constant static hiss in the background when charging, sound stops when I unplug the charger and don't use it while also playing audio. For the premium they are charging I'd expect better quality control or better quality.

Device was Defective
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product did not work properly. I tried several times to get it to work but at best it worked only once in a while and would stop working even when I did finally get it to work. Basically, it turns a single USB-C port into two ports, one for charging and one for using audio headphones or earbuds. One problem not related to function is that the packaging is misleading in that it says 'Interchangeable USB-C ports…’. However, one port is actually marked for charging and the other is marked for audio, so you actually cannot use them interchangeably. A bigger problem seems to be that the connector to put in your phone is too short and the connector is loose, I took the phone case off but that did not help. A second problem is when you do finally get the audio to work and then plug into the charging port, the audio stops. I tried to hold the connector tightly to the phone so I think the second problem is caused by the circuitry in this Belkin device, i.e. it is improperly designed to handle both the charging function and the audio functions at the same time; at least this is true for my cell phone and laptop. I called Belkin and they do have 7 days a week support so that is good. The connection to a support person was fuzzy and hard to hear. Also, the support person did not seem to be able to help me very much. She collected my information and she put me on hold and never got back for 20 minutes so I had to hang up. The best I can say is if you want this device, try to test it in the store with your cell phone and determine if it works for you. I can’t recommend this device.

A simple wired solution.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple and effective, only issue is identifying which is power and which headset when it's dark or in a rush. Not sure if I'd damage anything getting it backwards. Still happy.

You won't fool me again, Belkin
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It stopped working after 3 months and Belkin support won't do anything because my phone isn't on their compatibility list, which is on their website, not bestbuy.com and only includes 5 phones from 2019. If you buy this beware the warranty is a lie.

Just don't do it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used this dongle exactly two times. The first time, I noticed the audio from my Google Maps was getting cut out at the beginning of the directions. Annoying but whatever, right? The second time I used it, I actually needed to charge my phone. As soon as it started charging the only audio that ensues is a high pitched tone that doesn't stop. $40 down the drain.

Do not purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.0/5. The product has two usb c ports, however one is only for audio purposes. It’s essentially only one usb c port. Also Best Buy has a 15 day return policy which is objectively absurd and unfair. Will not be getting over this one Best Buy,

Posted .Hi, BestBuySux,
We understand your sentiments. If you insert two pairs of USB-C headphones into the USB-C Audio + Charge Adapter (F7U081) as designed, only one set of headphones will be able to function. Also, you may contact our support hotline should this case requires advanced troubleshooting. Our support hotline can be found here: https://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=55022.

Posted .Hi, ACDC,
For isolation, you can try using a different headphone or use the adapter with a different compatible phone. If that won’t help, we’ll have our Product Experts look into this closer for investigations. Just email us at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact information and a link to this review as our reference.
