Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the OnePlus adaptor from other than their website. They are out of stock and I see what looks to be cheap knockoffs online.
Thanks

I'm a bit curious about the situation with the USB-C to 3.5mm. Do I need an adaptor with or without an DAC inside the adaptor, and what if there is an DAC inside or not?
Does the Google one have an included DAC like the OnePlus version?
Being a google product I am sure it does or if not better. I tested it and it sounded great in my car, I have an aftermarket system with Amps and a DSP and it sounded better than my OnePlus 6 and I am using VIPER4Android with it too. Well worth it.
Great thanks for the info, I'll probably just swing by and pick that up. Waiting on OnePlus to restock will probably be a while.
There is no DAC inside the phone to output analog audio through the usb-c port. Any adapter you get will need to have one inside like the Google dongle does. If you are curious, check this out.
I personally don't think those little things sound that great and they can't drive sensitive IEMs or power hungry headphones very well from my experience, which is why I suggest products like the FIIO μBTR, BTR1 or 3, or Astell & Kern XB10, EarStudio ES100, so on and so forth. Of course the added expense is only worth it if you're driving good earphones, otherwise the Google dongle is just fine.

Well that would explain why some dongles work and some don't. Thanks for the link, very informative.
Went to Target and got the Google adapter, was even cheaper for $8.29. so far so good, thanks for the info guys.
this also works with OnePlus 7 Pro, sound quality was ok, but it does still charge ur phone. No fast charging

You can use either type of adapter. The Oneplus7 Pro does have an audio DAC inside it. I have tried both passive (just past through analog audio) and active (have a DAC built-in) and they both worked with the Pro 7. Some phones (Pixel for example) don't have the capability to pass analog audio out the USB-C jack.
Have you tried charging with a USB pd charger? Since the op7pro supports that at least.
Also wanted to add my old HTC 11 adapter works
Which passive adapter did you try this with to verify that?
The passive adapters were these ADTRIP ones https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NVDT57C/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The active adapter I tried was this Essential Products one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079GZFWQ9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_jOY3CbK6NJ8RC
For kicks, I tried them both on my Pixel XL (it has a headphone jack, but I thought I would try). Like the Pixel 2 and 3, it only supported an active adapter that has a DAC built-in. The passive ones didn't work with it.
It is nice Oneplus supports analog out the USB-C port as they are cheaper (the one linked above is only $8 for two of them and next day delivery for Prime members).
Although it is possible, it seems unlikely based on two things. 1. The ADTRIP adapters did not work on my Pixel XL. The Essential adapter did and we know the Essential has a DAC in it. 2. The ADTRIP adapter Amazon page specifically says it does not work with Pixel phones. Pixel phones need an adapter with a DAC built in.
Edit: Scrolling down further in the ADTRIP Amazon page, they have a chart that shows the specifications for each ADTRIP product. These two-pack audio adapters are analog (passive).

Oneplus usb c to 3.5mm is a passive adapter, meaning it uses internal DAC and running audio over usb port as analogue. It works the same way as mini jack output. But what oneplus done is they put small relay that turns OTG automatically when you plug in. All other analogues required going to settings and turning OTG every time you want to listen over headphones. Bare in mind this option turns itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity. I bought this and it's working fine. amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07MBWZZGL?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
This works great for me, and you can charge while listining too.

Only $8.19 with free same day delivery, can't beat that.
