Excellent 3.5mm USB-C Adapter with USB-C input for iPad Pro which can be used for work call/gaming for audio/mic

Excellent USB-C adapter from Cable Matters, which includes both 3.5mm headphone/mic combo jacks and another USB-C input to charge my iPad Pro 11-inch 2018 for regular iPad Pro phone calls, online conferencing, iPad work and play Per eleven". The Cable Matters USB-C adapter with braided cable is a nice touch, and the silver finish and white plastic make this adapter look clean and presentable. Adapter C with 3.5mm combo jack for headphones /microphone and USB-C input to charge my iPad Pro. Most of them pointed me to USB-C hubs, so I first went with a Belkin USB-C hub with a 3.5mm headphone jack ( which I switched back when it got too hot didn't feel sure while I had a USB hub). -c to simultaneously charge my iPad Pro). When I came across Cable Matters' USB-C adapter, it just worked, and best of all, it didn't get hot when I plugged in the USB-C port to charge my iPad Pro. In particular, I enjoy playing games on the iPad Pro and using the microphone feature (built into the EarPods) to talk to teammates while I'm gaming. This is the only adapter I've used that delivers crystal clear quality both when listening and using the mic, with no static or EMI causing any humming noise while I plugged in my USB-C charging cable for simultaneous charging have. The attached photos show this adapter connected to my 2018 11-inch iPad Pro connected to my 3.5mm Apple EarPods ($19), using my USB-C charging cable to the USB-C -Adapter input port connected to charge my 11 inch iPad Pro while being used for business calls, online calls or gaming. This is the best setup I've found so far, and it's also the most wallet-friendly. I've even used $200+ bluetooth headphones (with poor mic quality) and considered other options like boom mics to connect to my headphones. , or I've been using my standalone Yeti mic with onboard soundcard connected via USB-A to a USB-C hub (but still having issues, echoes, static/humming noise), but the Apple EarPods with mic for 19 US dollars provided better crystal clarity quality and more importantly it just works! Also, I really enjoy wearing EarPods in my ears as there is no fatigue and I can use them for hours enjoying music, videos, games and calls without any problems! I really wanted to post this review here to help anyone else who is looking for a solution to answer phone calls on their iPad Pro and use the mic on EarPods or any other 3.5mm device with a mic attached for good sound it when you talk to others through this USB-C adapter - without having to spend a fortune. Update 08/06/21: I've found that I've been using the Cable Matters USB-C adapter for long periods of time, e.g. For days or more, leave it connected to the iPad Pro. Weeks ago while I was online in my home office, which occasionally (rarely happens) when I use my 3.5mm EarPods to make a call through my iPad Pro, the person I'm talking to notifies me that they are noise hears. When this happens, I simply unplug the Cable Matters USB-C adapter from my iPad Pro and plug it back in - and that fixes the problem instantly because the person I'm talking to no longer hears hiss on their end, while the other USB-C hub I used (and returned) kept causing static and other issues, which was a deal breaker for me. Still use this Cable Matters USB-C adapter every day since it's available!
