When the Pixel 2 debuted, I struggled to find a single third-party audio solution that actually worked that wasn’t the one included in the box. However, there aren’t many good USB-C audio adapters out there. Regardless, adapters are a pretty easy way to keep analog audio around if you opt for a phone (or tablet) that lacks the feature. Headphone jacks are disappearing left and right, and you’re either fine with that or you really hate it.
That led to an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter, and it’s currently the best one you can get for an Android device. That aligns it with much of the industry, including most Android makers, but at the same time, the tablet also dropped its 3.5mm headphone jack. Earlier this week, Apple made a move that many expected wouldn’t happen - the iPad adopted USB-C.
