Wouldn't see why not, but there's a headphone jack for a reason.
true but the idea of NC headphones without having to charge them is pretty tempting.
I am using some gaming USB-A heaphones with an A to C adapter on Lumia 950 XL, so I don't see why USB headphones that do their own amplification wouldn't work with all phones, for any type of audio. The output is much better than with twice the money older jack headphones because USB allows for a lot of stuff to be powered inside the heaphones, but:
1. the USB-A cord is rigid (couldn't find a flexible one), this causing
2. every now and then the connectors to get loose and altering the audio
USB-C heaphones with flexible cord are now my first option.
Here are the headphones with the adapter: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Al4LUIrM3JSolLls6UBZB8qSeVY2WA

Hello looking for a solution as follow
Existing are some Speakers etc. for exclusively Iphone/Ipod with a female plug for Apple. I want use those devices with a HTC, etc who only have a USB Port. The devices has no AUX input.
Where can I find an adapter-cable FEMALE IPOD/IPHONE to FEMALE USB
or Female IPOD/IPHONE with a bluetooth receiver, so i could play music via Bluetooth on those Iphone devices.
Thanks

have you ever tried to good ol' cut the cord and tape them back together trick?
not yet
guess have not enough Duct Tape
But honestly I thought about that getting me the plugs and soldering me a cable. But wonder the USB have 5 Pins and need some research how to get most out of this 5 contacts vs. to 30. Assume there are some bridges etc. helpfull/necessary.
I would really like to know if it is possible to get audio out from the Micro USB port. I want to use my GN2 in a car dock with audio out to my head unit RCA audio inputs.
I would rather dock with one connection via the micro usb port for charging and Audio out.
Using an NFC tag on the car dock to open Car Home Ultra when docked.
There is some sort of adapter/unit you can buy to do this. Iv have seen people post it, if I see the name of it I'll post on here.

Yes and I have to say the quality is amazing. You need an otg cable, just a couple of bucks on amazon or fleabay. It has a male mico on one end and a female usb on the other. You can then hook this up to any driverless headphone amp or usb dac of your choice. I have tested with an odac and a fiio e7 and both worked flawlessly.

So there is no analog audio out then?
I do have the OTG cable, so I suppose THIS would probably work:
Along with THIS
To my head unit.

That may be a possibility. I've also heard that iBolt is releasing a Note II Car dock that may support this feature. However it is not due out until the end of December.
If you just want analog out, then the headphone is as good as any. The http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003N0XDT4/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1353503718&sr=8-1&pi=SL75fiio. (hope the kink insert works... ) is cheap and will provide much better quality and level than the headphone jack. I. am not sure if the dac you linked to runs off usb or needs a separate supply. If you need rca jacks then its a male 3.5mm to male rca. There is a good quality pre amp that will give you 2v at least (close to standard car amp input) The one you linked to provides about 1.25v. I have not seen measurements of that dac so don't know how it compares to one in gn2.
The microusbs advantage (or limitation depending on your viewpoint) is that it gives you access to the pure digital signal which of course needs a dac. The dock linked to above and all others I've seen either reroute the headphone jack or provide a really terrible integrated dac which sounds much worse than the headphone jack.
I'm getting a pair of USB-C headphones, but that still leaves something to be solved: charging while using the headphones. Now there is a splitter for audio jack, but I was wondering if and how it would be possible to split the USB-C between headphones and a charger, all using USB-C.
Any ideas?

Edit: Disregard. I missed that your headphones are also USB-C.

Hi, I picked up a pair of type-c earphones from AliExpress for my Mi A1 which is running Pie with the March update. However, my phone doesn't detect them and no audio is sent to them either. Any ideas?
Not all TypeC speaker/earphone devices are the same. I also tried that with a friend's TypeC earphones and it didnt work. I attached a USB DAC Dragonfly Red via an OTG adapter (Type C Malr to Type A Female) and I got audio out from it.
It seems you'll need a type C headphones that has a built in USB DAC or use a USB DAC in-between like I did.
Some type C earphone are just wired to take advantage of the additional wires in USB3 TypeC and so the phones output the analog audoo through these additional lines. This also makes them incompatible with other brands too. Meanwhile, the A1 has a USB2 TypeC and so also only has the 4-5 lines of microUSB B.
Bottomline: use the 3.5mm audio out of the phone or use a USB DAC to output audio thru USB TypeC.
Htc with two last flagships has brilliant headphones with usb type-c connector. I'd really love to use it with my Pixel 3xl, but it says that headphones is not supported. Maybe is there some way to make it work?

The only audio-out devices that will work are ones that comply with the USB Digital Audio specification (an extension of the USB 3.1 spec)
HTC devices use an unsupported mode that Google will no longer certify devices with, passing analogue audio signal through the digital USB-C port (I believe using a sideband channel)
The only way to make it work would be to cut off the USB-C connector and wire it to a 3.5mm jack - or design a USB-C to USB-C DAC, theoretically a fairly easy task, you'll need to get it fabricated too though
This is not Google's fault, this is HTC's, they didn't follow the spec correctly.
