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.

Obviously, if i wanted to do that i would !!

Just close this thread plz. It is just not worth it. I wanted i cheap way to do but i guess you cant.

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?

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
