How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want one compact adapter that lets you keep using wired 3.5mm headphones while still fast-charging over USB-C, choose Jadebones USB C; if you need a replacement magnetic charging cable for a bone-conduction headphone like the NANK Runner series or Dnniakm X7 Pro, choose VBANU Charging Cable.
These two products share almost nothing except a USB-C-adjacent world. One is a 2-in-1 audio-plus-power adapter for phones, tablets and laptops. The other is a single-purpose 4-pin magnetic charging cord for a specific family of bone-conduction headphones. If you arrived here comparison-shopping, the honest answer is that you may not actually be choosing between them at all — you may just need to figure out which problem you're solving. Let's break both down on the specs alone.
• Jadebones USB C — biggest strength: It's a true 2-in-1. You get a 3.5mm female headphone jack and 100W fast charging passthrough in one small white metal-finished adapter.
• Jadebones USB C — biggest trade-off: It's an adapter, not a cable, and it only does what a USB-C port allows. Devices without a USB-C port won't work with it, and it's built for one device at a time.
• VBANU Charging Cable — biggest strength: A dedicated 4-pin magnetic charging cord with a 7.62mm pitch, built for a long list of bone-conduction headphones and rated for 5000+ bend cycles.
• VBANU Charging Cable — biggest trade-off: It only fits specific 7.62mm magnetic-interface headphones. It won't charge a phone, tablet or laptop, and a small number of headphone models may have reversed magnetic polarity.
• Who each pick is for: Choose Jadebones USB C if you want to plug wired headphones into a modern USB-C phone or laptop while charging. Choose VBANU Charging Cable if you lost or damaged the magnetic charging cable for your bone-conduction headphones.
The Jadebones USB C to 3.5mm adapter is a small, purpose-built dongle: USB-C on one end, a 3.5mm female headphone jack plus 100W fast-charging support on the other. The idea is simple. Modern phones, tablets and laptops dropped the headphone jack, but plenty of us still own wired headphones we like. This adapter brings that jack back — and unlike a bare audio dongle, it also passes charging power through, so you're not forced to choose between listening and topping up the battery.
Who should buy it? Anyone with a USB-C device and a drawer full of 3.5mm headphones, especially if you take calls or listen for long stretches and don't want your battery draining. Who should skip it? If your device still has a headphone jack, you don't need it. If you're trying to charge a bone-conduction headphone with a magnetic charging port, this is the wrong tool entirely — that's a completely different connector. And if you need to plug in two sets of wired headphones at once, this adapter isn't built for that.
VBANU Charging Cable: Who It's For
The VBANU Charging Cable is a very different animal. It's a 4-pin magnetic charging cable with a 7.62mm pitch, sold as a single cable, designed specifically for bone-conduction headphones. The compatibility list is explicit: Dnniakm X7 Pro, SAMVEK X7, Nilsinn X7, Tevese X16, Sanag B60SPRO, and the NANK Runner CC3 and Runner Pro/2/3/4 line. If your headphone is on that list — or uses the same 7.62mm magnetic interface — this is the cable you want.
The design details matter here. It's a magnetic connection, which means it snaps into place and self-aligns, so you're not fumbling to seat a tiny plug in the dark or on the move. The cable is 60cm / 3ft long, made from ABS+PVC, and rated for over 5000 bend cycles. VBANU also notes the copper wire doesn't generate heat while charging. It weighs about 20 grams, comes in black, and carries a 1-year warranty. The pitch — that 7.62mm spacing between the pins — is the number you should double-check against your headphone before buying, because magnetic charging cables are not universal.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for wired headphones on a USB-C phone or laptop → Jadebones USB C. It restores the 3.5mm jack and keeps charging available.
• Best for keeping your device topped up while listening → Jadebones USB C. Its 100W fast-charging passthrough is the whole point of the 2-in-1 design.
• Best for charging bone-conduction headphones → VBANU Charging Cable. A 4-pin magnetic connector at 7.62mm pitch is a completely different interface.
• Best for travel and portability → VBANU Charging Cable. At 60cm / 3ft and roughly 20 grams, it's a featherweight spare for a bag or pocket.
• Best for durability against daily flexing → VBANU Charging Cable. Its 5000+ bend-cycle rating is explicitly stated for the cable body.
• Best for a mixed-device household → Jadebones USB C. Its listed compatibility spans headphones, laptops, smartphones, speakers and tablets.
• Best for replacing a lost original cable → VBANU Charging Cable. That's exactly what it's marketed for, with a defined compatibility list.
• Best if you're unsure which you need → figure out the connector first. USB-C audio adapter versus 7.62mm magnetic 4-pin are not interchangeable.
If I had to pick one, I'd buy based on the connector my device actually uses — because these two aren't really rivals. For the far more common situation of wanting wired headphones and charging on a modern USB-C phone, tablet or laptop, I'd choose Jadebones USB C. The 2-in-1 design, 100W charging support and broad device compatibility make it the more versatile everyday accessory, and the 1-year warranty is reassuring. I'd only choose VBANU Charging Cable if I specifically owned a bone-conduction headphone on its compatibility list and needed a replacement or spare. Match the connector to your device and the decision makes itself.
