If you want a wired adapter that lets you charge your phone and listen through a 3.5mm jack at the same time, choose JSAUX USB C; if you need wireless over-ear headphones built for kids with volume limiting and long battery life, choose Candy Bila Kids.
• JSAUX USB C — biggest strength: One USB-C port becomes two — a PD-compatible charging port (up to 60W) plus a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can game, watch or take calls while fast-charging.
• JSAUX USB C — biggest trade-off: It's device-picky. It won't work with all OnePlus and Pixel models, some phones don't support QC, and it doesn't support inline volume control on Apple EarPods.
• Candy Bila Kids — biggest strength: 85 hours of playtime, a 10-minute charge that gives about 4 hours of play, and 85/94dB volume limiting designed around kids' ears.
• Candy Bila Kids — biggest trade-off: It's wireless-first. Bluetooth range is about 10 meters, it charges via USB-C in roughly 2 hours, and it's a plastic/metal/fabric build meant for children, not studio listening.
• Who each is for: JSAUX USB C suits anyone with a headphone-jack-less phone who still wants wired audio plus charging. Candy Bila Kids suits parents buying a first set of wireless headphones for a child.
Think of the JSAUX USB C adapter as a splitter with a purpose. Modern phones dropped the 3.5mm jack, and this little black glossy dongle gives it back — while keeping your charging port free. Plug it into your USB-C phone and you get a PD-compatible charging port on one side and a 3.5mm jack on the other. That's the whole pitch, and for a lot of people it solves a genuinely annoying daily problem: the moment you plug in headphones, you can no longer charge.
The audio side is more serious than you'd expect from something this small. It carries a DAC that supports 24bit/96kHz or 16bit/48kHz playback, and an ADC at 16bit/48kHz for the mic path. In practice that means stable, clean audio without the current noise that cheap adapters are known for. The 3.5mm port handles CTIA, TRRS and TRS plugs, so most wired headsets with an inline mic will work — the adapter supports inline headphone controls, just not the inline volume rocker on Apple EarPods.
Charging is where it earns its keep. It supports up to PD 60W, which is plenty for a phone or tablet. One caveat worth knowing: for fast charging you want a PD20W-or-higher wall charger. Use a weak brick and the charging side may underperform — that's a charger issue, not an adapter failure. Also note it does not support Apple headphone line control, and it won't play nice with every OnePlus or Pixel model, so check your phone before buying.
Who should buy it: iPhone 15 series owners, Galaxy S20 through S24 users, Note 8–20 owners, iPad Pro and MacBook users — basically anyone with a USB-C port and a favorite pair of wired headphones. Who should skip it: Pixel and OnePlus owners whose specific models aren't supported, and anyone who only ever uses wireless earbuds. No drivers, no setup — it's plug-and-play.
The Candy Bila Kids headphones are aimed at one buyer: a parent who wants a safe, durable, wireless first pair for a child. The green-and-purple colorway, cat-ear styling and LED light make that obvious before you read a single spec — this is a product designed to be wanted by a kid and approved by a parent.
The parent-approved part is the volume limiting. The headphones cap output at 85dB and 94dB, the two thresholds commonly used for children's audio gear. That matters because kids tend to crank volume, and this design puts a ceiling on it rather than trusting good habits. The dynamic drivers cover a 20Hz–20kHz range, which is the standard full-range window — fine for music, videos and games, though this is a kids' headphone, not a reference pair.
Battery life is the standout number: 85 hours of average playtime, with a 2-hour full charge via USB-C. Even better for real life, a 10-minute top-up gets you roughly 4 hours of play — the kind of figure that saves a car journey or a flight when someone forgot to charge overnight. Bluetooth 6.0 with a 10-meter range covers a bedroom, a living room or a back seat comfortably.
Physically, it's an over-ear design built from plastic, metal and fabric, with push-button controls rather than touch. Push buttons are the right call for kids — they're tactile and hard to trigger by accident. There's a built-in mic for calls, and a USB-C jack that also allows wired listening when you don't want Bluetooth. It carries a 1-year warranty.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for listening while charging → JSAUX USB C. Two ports from one, with PD charging up to 60W running alongside the 3.5mm jack.
• Best for kids' hearing safety → Candy Bila Kids. The 85/94dB volume limit is the whole reason a parent picks it.
• Best for battery life → Candy Bila Kids. 85 hours of playtime, plus ~4 hours from a 10-minute charge.
• Best for wired audio quality → JSAUX USB C. A 24bit/96kHz-capable DAC with low current noise beats a standard Bluetooth codec path for pure fidelity.
• Best for device flexibility → Candy Bila Kids. Bluetooth 6.0 plus a USB-C wired option means it works with phones, tablets and laptops, no compatibility caveats.
• Best for travel with a phone → JSAUX USB C. Slim, driver-free, and it fits in a pocket next to your phone.
• Best for a first pair of headphones for a child → Candy Bila Kids. Over-ear comfort, push-button controls and a 1-year warranty.
• Worst fit for each other's job: JSAUX can't parent a child's volume, and Candy Bila can't restore a headphone jack to your phone.
In my opinion, these two barely compete — they solve opposite problems, and the right pick depends entirely on who's holding it. If you're an adult with a USB-C phone and a pair of wired headphones you refuse to give up, I'd buy the JSAUX USB C; it's the more useful everyday tool for that specific frustration. If you're buying for a child, I'd buy the Candy Bila Kids without much hesitation — the volume limiting and 85-hour battery are exactly what a parent needs. Only one of them is a compromise, and it's whichever one you buy for the wrong person.

Yes — the design lists 85dB and 94dB volume limiting. That's the main reason to choose them for a child over a general-purpose headphone.
It supports up to PD 60W, but you need a PD20W-or-higher wall charger to see fast speeds. Some phones don't support QC, so match the adapter to a proper PD brick and you'll get the best result.
