There are a ton on Amazon, are these some you have tried which didnt work? Just so I understand you are trying to connect headphones to a computer and the headphones only have USB or only have 3.55MM?

Yes, but to a tablet and if u read reviews or ask rufus none of them work.

IIRC, you never specialized that.

Your headet manufacturer should have their own versions that SHOULD work.

UGREEN USB Sound Card USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Jack Audio - This should work in theory if the device is not USB C, although I’ve not personally tested it on a tablet.

UGREEN USB C to 3.5mm Jack - This works great on my Android phone, the Nintendo Switch can also make use of it (although that's a bit pointless as the Switch has a headphone jack!) - regardless it works.

If you need an inexpensive very solid USB-C to 3.5mm for a computer / laptop, looks at the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. It has it's own built in DAC. It's also $9

Great reviews when used on apple devices and Windows 10/ 11 devices. Mixed reviews when used on an android tablet. The most common compliant 1/2 the volume on some tablets.

guys if i  didnt specify it i need the plug going into the tablet to be a male audio jack.

If I understand it correctly, you have headphones with a USB connection and want to plug them into a jack on your tablet? If that's the case, why even bother with the jack? Does the table have no USB port to plug the headphones into?

As previously mentioned, do you have the tablet name / model / picture of the ports?

It sounds like you have a single USB port (USB-C perhaps) and you want to connect two pairs of 3.5mm to it at one time?

If that's the case, you need a compatible USB? to 3.5mm, then a 3.5mm to 3.5mm splitter. This would not allow mic functionally.

Or is it two USB headphone's, trying to connect to a 3.5mm port on the tablet?

This would all be a lot easier if you noted part numbers, gave photos of what you're trying to achieve

Agreed, something along the lines of hey I have XYZ tablet and want to figure out a way to connect my USB headphones(brand and/or model) to them via the 3.5mm jack.

Not that I think it makes a difference, but the OP hasn't specified 2 sets of headphones. Just a (singular) set of headphones.

But there is a lot of ambiguity in the initial post and the follow-up responses. Which kind of makes it difficult to help effectively...

Gotcha.  So you have a tool for X and want to use it for Y.  It's possible, but the conversion from an analogue audio signal out of your whatever into a USB digital signal requires a fair bit of conversion (both physically and software) and maybe some power.  Use the right tool for the job.  Just buy some headphones with a jack plug. Done.

Is it easier to just give up instead of providing more information? You really didn't give enough information to go by. What devices exactly are you trying to connect and/or what connections they have, what are you trying to achieve exactly by connecting them? You say the adapters don't work, but maybe the adapters are simply not meant for the purpose you've been after (or the people who reviewed them as not working)? Interconnecting USB and analog audio is not a question of a simple mechanical adapter, it requires active electronics (that also has to be powered somehow, for example, something that immediately stands out as a possible issue in such scenario).

The more accurate/specific the information provided is, the more accurate/specific the advice/help will be. Basic rule of any troubleshooting.

That would be the reason.

I'm sorry, but this is infuriating.

Please answer the following questions:

- What is the tablet?
- What is the headset?

Neither questions have been answered as far as I can see. How are any of us supposed to help you without knowing the situation?

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
