Currently $1 off RRP on Amazon AU, I did get Officeworks to pricebeat, down to $13.30, making it cheaper than my local parma..

Highly rated (overhyped?) by several audio review websites as best value dongle DAC, I myself just got it because my windows laptop headphones jack sucks and this fixed it.
Works well on various cans, even the higher impedance one like Sennheiser HD6XX.
Also works with the Rode TRRS adapter in case you need to use external microphones on your USB-C devices.

Edit: Worth noting that we get the SKU MU7E2FEA with A2049 model number in Australia, same as international model or known as US variant that has full 1 Vrms as opposed to the EU’s 0.5 Vrms.

    You'll get knockoffs for $9 or so, might as well get the "brand name" imo

    This is at least better than hundreds of dollars for a $20 product

      Careful with the knockoff ones, some might give you noise, poor audio quality (compressed and such), or even pops and crackles when plugged in. Not worth the risk especially when using expensive IEM in my opinion :(

    • 87percent on 20/10/2022 - 09:05

      i have a chromebook, and only comes with the 1 usb c jack. The Apple ones have lasted over 2 years, whereas the cheap ones last maybe a few months

    Sold and shipped by AmazonAU.
    I presume this is effectively $9 if you take the $5 credit into account from this deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/731386

    • piupiupiu on 20/10/2022 - 08:05

      Good point! Did not think about this yesterday, I just walked into nearest officeworks since I had to get it ASAP..

      Without the mental gymnastics, it's a 4.76% saving assuming you buy a $100 gift card.

    Does it work on Samsung phones as well?

    • alumunum on 20/10/2022 - 08:24

      Yes. I use mine with the galaxy s20 Plus 5g. It works with any usb C plug as the device is a little DAC.

      • giventofly on 20/10/2022 - 11:42

        Not entirely accurate. It'll work but it is undervolted on anything not made by Apple

        • alumunum on 21/10/2022 - 10:50

          I haven't seen that in any reviews. The output power for these is consistent across all the devices. I wouldn't put it past apple, to do something like this, but in all the direct comparisons have detailed power output data and there is no hint of (profanity) in this regard. If you have some data, I would love to see it.

            @alumunum: You know what, I could have outdated info. This was known back when I finally moved off from an S10+ and got a Pixel 6 Pro.

            At the time, Android just sucked with DACs which was super annoying for me as none of mine worked well. Android 12.1 has massively improved that, and I no longer have any issues (i.e. - DACs now work natively instead of requiring USB Audio Player Pro)

            HOWEVER, have just tried the USB-C to 3.5mm DAC, and as brilliant as it is, it is woefully underpowered on my Pixel 6. It doesn’t get loud at all. On my iPad, loudness is good. Similarly, the Lightning to 3.5mm DAC is fine on my iPhone 13 Mini.

            They’re definitely undervolting, or it’s an issue with Android. Produces 1vrms on iPhone, and drops to something 0.5vrms. This isn’t scientific, and is based on a few audiophile forums I’ve read.

            Other than that tho, it’s a great little DAC

    $1 off RRP. Also been this price for a month on Amazon.

    For Android users there is a $16 pixel version or $20 Samsung.

  • Modesty on 20/10/2022 - 09:04

    Is it better than google pixel version?

    • silenthillrocks on 20/10/2022 - 09:06

      Apple version has reduced volume on android. If not on android, Apple one is best.

    Funny iphone still has lightning cable

  • corgicorgi on 20/10/2022 - 09:26

    Aren’t most headsets we buy now wireless?

      In my case this also allows me to use my external Rode mics on iPad, my mics are all wired unfortunately..

  • tabboy on 20/10/2022 - 09:37

    I went through 2 of these in a year, I primarily use it whilst running. They are not robust, better to get one of the braided ones from Amazon.

    Will this allow the microphone of Apple earphones work on a Samsung phone? The mic does not work for me when using my phone's 3.5mm headphone jack..

    • greatlamp on 20/10/2022 - 18:08

      If you have 3.5mm headphones with a microphone line (3 lines on the socket) they should work on anything, unless they are damaged or your phone's socket is damaged.

  • Jayblesz on 20/10/2022 - 09:46

    Parma? Parmi*

  • Archi on 20/10/2022 - 09:49

    funny enough, i just had one delivered yesterday, generic brand paid $6.49

    wanted to get one from AliExpress, for $3.50 but couldn't be bothered waiting till Christmas.

      • Techie4066 on 20/10/2022 - 11:39

        How do you find the Mini? I'm seriously considering it as a laptop replacement and as an Android user USB-C is a big deal.

    • silenthillrocks on 20/10/2022 - 10:03

      Next year iphone will have usb-c

    • GregRust on 20/10/2022 - 11:01

      Some iPad variants have used USB-C for years now…

  • DrPopkorne on 20/10/2022 - 10:07

    The new generation iPads don't have a headphone jack, so this will be pretty useful if you are thinking of getting one for your wired headset.

    lol people are still using wired headphones on mobile devices….. its understandable on computers and audio studio equiptment / mixers but not mobiles and ipads, compressed music sounds crap on any headphone. wired or wireless on mobile devices.

      Because to get the sound quality $150 wired headphones you need $300+ Bluetooth headphones…

  • Sturmkoopa on 20/10/2022 - 10:16

    Worth noting that the description of this item seems to list it as being compatible with iPhone models and says:
    - Compatible with most of the iphone models
    - Works with all devices that have a Lightning connector and support iOS 10 or later, including iPod touch, iPad and iPhone
    - Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter
    So it's possible that it may not be the product the title advertises. I've bought it anyway but may be a return and refund depending on what shows up.

    • ihfree on 20/10/2022 - 10:30

      Not too much to worry about, IMO. Worth noting the:

      • Listing Title is correct
      • Picture is correct
      • first line of the description "The USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter lets you connect devices that use a standard 3.5mm audio plug — like headphones or speakers — to your USB-C devices."
      • Sturmkoopa on 20/10/2022 - 10:47

        Yeah I'm not too worried, and at that price with the option to return there's no real risk. But thought it was interesting enough to point out.

    • Step 1: Remove headphone jack from products on the guise of 'slim form factor' while charging more for devices year-on-year
    • Step 2: Create headphone jack adapter
    • Step 3: Profit!

      Step 2 is actually the creation of TWS earbuds

    Best Deal for Android?

    • greatlamp on 20/10/2022 - 18:58

      Samsung one from edu store

  • AncientWisdom on 20/10/2022 - 12:22

    I use this on the work laptop and really happy with the result (DT770 250ohm), saved be spending $100+ on a proper DAC.

  • Lord Ra on 20/10/2022 - 13:03

    $14?
    and not $140?
    That's refreshing.

  • lonewolf on 20/10/2022 - 20:25

    Does this only work with Apple? I thought being USB-C would mean it would work with any USB-C phone?

    • piupiupiu on 20/10/2022 - 23:05
      +1

      No, it works with most USB C devices including Windows laptops, Android phones, even Nintendo Switch..

  • bydl on 24/10/2022 - 23:58

    If you can swing it at the local OW, they may be able to price beat Videoguys' $11 price.
    There is a shipping charge involved, but the guy at checkout got bored of me inputting my home address to show him what it was and just scanned it in at $10.45. YMMV.
