As USB-C begins to take over the ports on our newly purchased devices we all find ourselves transition through this phase of trying to make our older tech work with the new. There are times when you’ll need an adapter to connect to an older pair of wired 3.5mm headphones to the only port that’s available on your iPad Pro or smartphone.

The iNassen USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Cable Adapter is once such adapter that will help you breathe a new life into your old tech, in this case, a pair of 3.5mm headphones or microphone, and have them work with any USB-C device without a 3.5mm port, such as the iPad Pro.

If you still use either Apple’s own 3.5mm EarPods that came with your old iPhone, or you have a decent pair of headphones that you would like to use with your iPad Pro, then this is where the iNassen USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Cable Adapter will help you.

Inside the sealed plastic pouch comes the little back adapter cable itself. From end to end it measures just shy of 13cm, which is enough to give some flexibility when connecting to another cable, yet not too long to make it unwieldy once connected. The cable itself is braided to help it last 10x longer than more plastic cables and has an improved bend lifespan. At both ends of the cable, you have sealed connections on each connector and the connectors themselves feel solid too.

The cable is plug and play, you simply connect the USB-C end into your iPad Pro and plug your 3.5mm headphones into the 3.5mm female port of the adapter. The audio connection is initiated instantly on the iPad Pro.

Both audio and microphone input is supported via this cable. This means if you use the older 3.5mm Apple Lightning EarPods or a microphone-equipped headset, you can record audio through this cable. The built-in power DAC chip features sample accuracy of 32bit/384kHZ (other cables only provide 24bit/96kHZ), which maintains high-resolution acoustics to your headphones.
