If you are going to get one for your Pixel phone (or whatever else it may work with), then my strongest suggestion is to buy the original version before the stock runs out on them. I don't like the idea of a dongle as it can get lost, get damaged, etc. No phone is thinner than the 3.5 mm jack allows. This whole business of removing the headphone jack is anti-consumer. Yes, you can hear the music but this is no way to treat the HD-650. In sharp contrast, the other two dongles would not even reach my normal listening level.
Here, I was surprised that the original Pixel V1 had decent amount of bass with clear response and loud enough for enjoyment. I did some brief testing of the dongles using my Sennheiser HD-650 headphone. But it has some other distortion that rises at around 7 milliwatts.Īs with 300 ohm load, the V2 and VE dongles produce anemic power of around 4 to 8 milliwatts.Īt this point I think we have clear enough picture of these devices that I did not run more tests. The much more severe load causes clipping in Pixel V1 dongle producing 53 milliwatts of power. I have no record of a purchase in my inbox but I think it is their "Odyssey" version which retails for $10 from China. Meanwhile, someone enticed me to buy the Veclan (or is it Veclan) Electronics dongle. I don't know what the original one retailed for but I see it on Amazon for USD $14 with prime shipping. The second generation dongle retails for $12 from Google store.

Fortunately I realized that using a simple USB adapter I could connect them to my PC and hence be able to measure them there. While I was procrastinating on that a member recently loaned me the second generation of that, prompting me to go and measure them.
I was dreading having to measure it through my phone as that makes the process slow and incomplete. Rumor is that Samsung may also go that way with their next phone.Īnyway, I received the original Google Pixel "USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter" months and months ago from a member. Taking a lead from Apple, Google eliminated the 3.5 mm headphone jack necessitating using these external dongles/DACs+amps to use with headphones. Rumors have long persisted that the company is building toward a portless iPhone, which on the surface would be counter to Apple adding this new connector.This is a review and detailed measurements of three adapters to give your Pixel phone an analog output to drive headphones.

It's also possible that Apple puts the fastest Thunderbolt version in the Pro models (so they can better transfer higher-quality, larger ProRes videos), while the base iPhone 15 devices will be on a slower form of USB-C.Īnd then there's MagSafe, the magnetic wireless charging system that Apple brought to its phones with the iPhone 12. Some images that leaked online suggest Apple's USB-C chargers may have an extra chip that could be for this exact MFi program. That approach might limit some of the iPhone 15's faster charging or data speeds to just accessories that pay to play in Apple's ecosystem, even if any USB-C cable should be able to charge your phone. With the transition to USB-C, it remains to be seen how or if Apple will add its MFi touch to a standard that's so readily available.
