Does U11 only support its own type-c headphone or I can just buy the expensive adapter?

[j4ee]

and also only type-c power bank? These are a lot of trouble and money!

It comes with the USB C headphones and a USB C to 3.5 audio adapter. You can use any headphones with 3.5 plug using the adapter or buy other USB C headphones if you choose. Any power bank should work as long as you use a USB to USB C charging cable also included in the box.

From what Ive read the only restrictions ive seen are other 3.5mm to usb c adapters don't work with this phone, only HTC's. Other Usb c headphones will work with this phone. I think theres a JBL pair for sure does. USB C power banks work. QC 3.0 power banks will quick charge this phone but Power delivery over usb c will not(pixels have this). Good power bank brands are RavPower(great lifetime warranties) or Anker.

But I have read that U Ultra only supports HTC type-c headphone. HTC has changed the rule for U11?

the U Ultra is unique: it won’t support just any USB-C headphones or adapters, you have to use HTC’s own versions.

That's a different phone

Smh...HTC really did a bad job differentiating the 2... The U ultra was the start of a new line and the U11 is the follow-up for the 10... It's true they are similar in a lot of internal ways but that's every high end phone released within a certain time frame... The phones really aren't suppose to have anything to do with each other it's just the naming

You show u ultra then u11 to any random people on street, ask them is it the same phone, they would say yes

The Ultra was never their flagship. Although they look similar, the U 11 has a more advanced processor, camera as well as audio, including newer specs and USB -C standards.

Lol but the same could be said about most smartphones... Ppl on the street probably wouldn't even know it was an U Ultra or U11 they'll just see HTC

Yes HTC did announce when they released the phone that it is not the follow up for the HTC 10 nor their flagship device of the year...

I can't say anything about the price because I didn't understand it but they felt like it was worth that price I guess

Op is just trolling now. lol

 

[IAmSixNine]

He does sound trolling.
This site isnt for the average person on the street, you asked a question, we tried to answer.
So to put it in perspective, If we show this thread to most people on the street they will think your trolling.

i tested the u11 earphone on Samsung S8+, A9 and PC with USB type C port. all no response. These devices can't even detect a USB device plug in.

I suspect either U11 or Samsung did not implement the audio over Type -C standard. It may just stream analog audio through the type C data2 ports?

 

[BigDinCA]

The included ear buds only work on the U11, which kinda sucks because they're really good. But you only get digital out of the USB-C port. Always. The adapter is where Digital to Analog Conversion takes place. Hence the acronym DAC.

Yeah AC said in an article they did they found the earphones only worked on 1 other phone besides the u11
