Hi I need help. I saw a headphone on sale. an sgh7980. I like it. for my PC
.But the thing is I also want to use it for my phone, a Note 5, but sadly the connector of the headphone is a usb.

Which one do you think will work? or work better? an OTG cable? or this adapter?( usb to 3.5 jack)

TYA.

I wouldn't say so. I am no expert on this type of thing though. I wouldn't think that the usb port on the phone would recognise USB headphones.

You cant go from usb to jack since that is like sending a digital signal and poof it's analog, it doesn't work that way.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

That top usb cable would do it's thing, the bottom one is for an iPod. I dont think Android supports usb microphones/headsets.

My native language is C++

Yeah you can send power through it, but not sound.

Yeah. I don't know why they would opt too charge through the 3.5mm port. Why not just a standard...

Because they are stupid and just want to make money. Just like the iPhone charger in the EU it is a must that all smartphones has micro usb or 3.1 or else they will get a fine, but because they make so much money of selling lightning cables, they just pay the fine every year.
