The speakers are driven by an internal DAC and amp, but those are not hooked up to the USB-C port. Some phones have analog over USB-C (it's an option in the standard - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Analog_Audio_Out_.26_Microphone), but the Pixel 2 is not one of them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] litecentric:
Thank You! This was the answer I was looking for, I had known this already, but reading all the posts, comments, and even Articles by "Experts" seem to miss that the thing that actually makes the sound we hear has not changed, I have my grandparents old rotary phone still plunged into the wall that still works, what has changed is the signal from my house to the other person I am talking to, their is no new special magic stuff happening in our smartphones, the speakers and microphones still work the same way as they did before most of use were born. Now back to the topic, do we have conformation that the Firmware update fixed the problem to the Moshi Dongle?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dorlow:
Has anyone found a way to hook headphones to it yet while charging? My logic why I want it is my wife and I... She likes dead quiet when sleeping. I like white noise. It's been a small silly bicker for forever. But I want to try to sleep with headphone with whitenoise. I bought headphones today that are like a cloth headband. But I'll need to plug into a headphone jack and it needs to change all night so I will need both.

1) Buy the overpriced adapter when it's back in stock (or direct from the manufacturer) https://store.google.com/product/moshi_usb_c_headphone_adapter_charger

2) Get a bluetooth adapter, plug headphone into adapter, charge phone with cable. For example, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AGQMQC

3) Get a chromecast audio, plug headphone into that, charge phone with cable. More expensive than bluetooth adapter.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bunklung:
Yeah, it's cheaper than that Moshi adapter and only $15 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FHLTNM/

Pros:

Cheap, $14.99

Works

Rapid Charging works

Cons:

It's slightly bulky and not very portable.

3.5mm port NOT included, BUT every Pixel 2 owner has the adapter already (3.5 USB C adapter -> 3.5mm headphone).

Sorry - I haven't yet been able to apply the firmware update to the Moshi adapter - it's Windows only and we don't use Windows. Tried to run it in Linux via Wine but didn't recognize the device. The only person I know who has a Windows machine has a corporate laptop for which the admin password isn't available (the update requires this).

This new feature is the best

I loved it when Apple did this exact same thing when they switched to the lightning adapter! Apple was so creative but not as brilliant as this. Trading a wire from my phone to my headset (which I will always have both on me) to a series of adapters OR a bunch of different chargers that I need to carry with me OR a nest of chargers everywhere I go is a huge upgrade! Anker is now selling 4 usb port rapid chargers so 2 people in my car can always be topped up. I sure hope Google doesn't invent a way to charge wirelessly because I love owning more adapters, cables, and chargers! Eliminating a jack that billions of people have been using since 1878 is totally ground breaking. This is the best user experience EVER! I love you Google!!!

The sound is way better than the Google supplied dongle. I never thought I would be satisfied with going this route to convert my wired Beyer Dynamics headset to Bluetooth. But for $30 it was much less hassle than the Google dongle work - around, cheaper, and much better sound. Sounds every bit as good as the sound from the headphone jack of the Nexus 6. I recommend this route.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kingdazy:
Oh man. I just ordered a Pixel 2 (for her), and a Pixel 2 XL (for me) about 4 hours ago. And did not think about this issue until now. It's not an issue for me, but the wife falls to sleep listening to audio books, etc.

I can't believe there's no solution outside a bluetooth dongle to plug your headphones into. And it looks like the Moshi adaptor is dead and gone.

Crap. She's going to be bummed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Or get a cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones for her and keep the phone charging.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] b1g1an:
More importantly, why would anyone be dumb enough to leave their phone on charge overnight?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kingdazy:
Yeah, she has a specific set of needs where that might not work. She indeed uses the BT stuff in most instances. But for sleeping, being an insomniac, she needs the whitenoise/audiobook going all night. Assuming they last that long per charge, and having to charge them every morning, not to mention most BT headphones tend to not "fit" as snug as her buds... etc etc. Not saying it's insurmountable, but it will be an inconvenience for her, and she will make it known it me. ;)

Like they say, happy wife, happy life.

Hey now, no need to get rude. My wife isn't the most technically savvy, and certainly doesn't read XDA. I can tell her over and over she doesn't need to, but old habits.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
There's nothing wrong with leaving your phone charging overnight. It's an old myth. I do most nights because I sleep track with my Pebble to the Sleep As Android app.

https://youtu.be/VvfjZXrkUgM

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

In that case, I would think playing white noise or an audiobook all night with wired headphones wouldn't drain the phone that much battery anyway. She could just top off the battery while getting ready for bed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kingdazy:
Yeah, some people still insist that's an "issue" and can't be ... "reminded" otherwise. I leave all my **** charging when I'm not using it. That's what the chips in the chargers do, make sure the cells are being charged properly.

I'm pretty certain this won't be a "real" issue for her, once I've shown her how fast quick charge in the morning will set her up for the day. Haha, she just doesn't like change. Took me 2 years to convince her BT was actually pretty great, and now she loves her Anker speaker, etc.

From all accounts, what I am reading (since posting my OP on this last night), the batt in her Pixel 2 should be fine for what she does. My concern might be if she sets up a vid playlist from my Plex seedbox, and trys to fall asleep listening to say... the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, that might make an impact.

I think the research I've done since my first post alleviates most of my concerns. But the fact that it's an issue that's not been addressed by Goog is annoying.

(Also just realized my XDA sig is horribly out of date, haha)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] b1g1an:
More a case of shouldn't! Ask most people with knackered batteries and you'll find they leave them on charge overnight.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] b1g1an:
They charge fine but what you're overlooking is they also charge it up to a point and then stop, the battery runs down to a preset level and the charge starts again, rinse and repeat all night, every night. Batteries have a finite number of recharges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It's finite recharge "cycles". That's 0-100% or 50-100% two times and every variation in between. Even if my phone was 100% when going to bed, unplugged I only lose something like 3-5% while sleeping over 7 hours. That's 1 charge cycle every 20 days at the minimum. Not exactly a huge number of recharges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] btonetbone:
As a fellow insomniac who uses headphones all night, I've been happy with a dirt cheap pay-as-you-go phone that lives on my nightstand. I think I got it for $10 or $15 over the holidays, and it just lives on my WiFi. You can usually find decent ones inexpensive at supermarkets or Target or Walmart or Amazon. Plus, using a dedicated phone for insomnia listening means you won't offend anyone else who critiques your charging habits on the Pixel phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jshaffe1:
If your wife doesn't need two earbuds in at a time, airpods might do the trick, you can use one at a time and if it dies, just switch to the other fully charged one. This method will get you around 10 hours of audio. They are also much closer to the shape and fit of standard "old fashioned" earbuds. The bass is a bit much when I listen to podcasts, but most apps provide an equalizer. They also charge pretty quick by placing it into their carrying case. Anyway, I don't generally like Apple, but the airpods have been pretty convenient even on my Pixel 2 xl. I was lucky enough to get a Moshi before they mysteriously disappeared too, it's worked great.

Another option is to just not charge at night, the battery is pretty good, then charge in the morning or in the car. It sucks we have to come up with solutions to something that shouldn't be a problem to begin with. I still can't believe they removed the jack without even looking into a solution for charging and using headphones.

I confirm that this product works. It charges phone fast, on my lock screen, it's written "Charging rapidly (##mins) ", the sound is brilliant, it doesn't heat up like other adapters.

for the adapter to use when you're outside i use their normal dac. and one from aliexpress

One thing to note is at first it was showing charging but didn't charge and the headset did not work. So I then tried to connect a USB thumb drive into the USB connector on the box and it didn't work. I also tied connecting to my computer into the USB connector through the adapter and it didn't work.

I then tried re-connecting the box to the phone for the 3rd or 4th time, and all was good. Sound works. Mic works. And it charges. Now it works every time I connect. So either I'm more consciously pushing the connector on, or there was maybe something that was keeping it from seating all the way originally.

Also, I lost the original Google adapter, so I have these as well. Two for $19.90, which is pretty comparable to Google with their shipping charge on small orders. They work, though I think the audio is not as good as with the OEM when using OEM earbuds that have come with prior phones.

As an update, Android Pie fixed this for me - the Moshi adapter finally works to charge my phone while simultaneously outputting music via the USB-C (which I then route to my car's aux in). Very pleased to finally have a solution (I never did apply the firmware update the Moshi people provided me, since I don't have access to any windows machines - it's running the original firmware I received it with).

Glad to see these things finally showed up. Though Amazon search buries these combo adapters below incompatible audio adapters. I've been searching for months, and then more frequently after I lost the OEM adapter. So I bought the setup with the HDMI adapter.

There are other units that are down at $22 to $24 right now. But most have 1 review or even none at this point. Hopefully more people will buy and review them so the prices come down a few dollars and the good ones are identified.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] quordandis:
Hey all...so....long time android user.....my very first phone was the Motorola Atrix 4G - one of the first to offer fingerprint logins to the phone AND also had a mini-hdmi out port which hooked into a special "dock" motorola manufactured to create a desktop experience....although, I think at the time it wasn't just a dock, it was like a whole mini-laptop thing with a keyboard and stuff....

ANYWAY, the point I'm making is, I think someone found a way to activate the desktop mode and all you had to do was use the hdmi-out port (the phone came with a compatible hdmi cable) and connect it to a monitor or tv and you could use a BT connected mouse and keyboard and voila! You now have the "desktop" experience without having to buy their phone-into-a-laptop-adapter.

So....is it possible to activate this experience over a usb-to-hdmi adapter? The phones already came supplied with an OTG adapter....

Anyway....would love to know if anyone knows of anything like this or has the knowledge and skill to make this happen?
