The UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 1,400, brand new and sealed in black. It turns any USB-A port into two 3.5mm sockets, a green one for headphones and a red one for a microphone, and plays 16-bit sound at 48kHz. A short 15cm cable links the plug to the body. You can collect the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter from our store in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Designed for students, cyber café owners, school ICT teachers and office staff, the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter handles one plain job well. Desktop front-panel sockets come loose, and laptop sockets wear out after years of plugging in earphones on matatu rides to class. When that happens, sound cuts out or a microphone records only hiss. The UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter skips the damaged socket and carries audio over USB. A Kenyatta University student can rejoin online lectures the same afternoon, without opening the machine.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell no-name sound dongles that fail within weeks, Mascom International stocks the genuine UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter with a written warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing cyber cafés and school computer labs buy these in batches, because one adapter brings a silent workstation back into use for far less than a repair. It works without drivers on Windows, macOS and Linux, including older Windows 7 machines. Visit First Floor Room 4 to test it, or message us on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter
What is the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter price in Kenya?
The UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter sells for KSh 1,400 brand new at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi. The price includes the black adapter with its 15cm cable, a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide. It costs KSh 200 less than the UGREEN CM383 USB-A to 3.5mm Audio Jack Sound Adapter at KSh 1,600, and KSh 600 less than the UGREEN CM129 USB to Triple 3.5mm Jack Sound Adapter at KSh 2,000. Lipa na M-Pesa, card and cash are all accepted.
Is the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter a better buy than the UGREEN CM383 USB-A to 3.5mm Audio Jack Sound Adapter?
The UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter is the better buy if you want the lowest price and separate plugs. It costs KSh 1,400 and has a plastic body on a 15cm cable. The UGREEN CM383 USB-A to 3.5mm Audio Jack Sound Adapter costs KSh 1,600, uses a compact aluminium body, and adds a combo socket for single-plug phone earphones plus listed PS4 and PS5 support. Pick the US205 for a desktop or lab PC, and the CM383 for travel or consoles.
Is the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter a good fix for cyber cafés and computer labs in Kenya?
Yes, the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter suits shared machines in Kenyan cyber cafés and school labs. Dust from busy streets clogs front-panel audio sockets, and constant plugging loosens them. Plugging this adapter into a rear USB port moves the wear to a cheap, replaceable part. Customers filling eCitizen and KRA forms with video help, or students on online classes, get working sound again. When a KPLC power cut hits, it simply restarts with the computer, with no settings to redo.
Who should buy the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter, and who should skip it?
The UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter is right for anyone with a dead audio socket and a headset that uses two plugs. Students, cyber café owners and office staff on a tight budget get the most value. Skip it if you take long calls and want a hardware mute switch; the UGREEN CM129 USB to Triple 3.5mm Jack Sound Adapter has one for KSh 2,000. Skip it too if you mostly use single-plug phone earphones with a microphone.
Can I use my phone earphones with the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter?
You can play sound through phone earphones on the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter, but the earphone microphone will not work. Its two sockets are 3-pole TRS types: green carries stereo sound and red takes a separate microphone. Phone earphones use one 4-pole plug that combines both. To use their microphone, add a 4-pole to dual 3.5mm splitter, which Mascom International sells separately. Alternatively, plug any clip-on or desk microphone into the red socket.
Will the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter work on an old Windows 7 computer?
Yes, the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter is listed for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 8, 8.1 and 10. It also runs on macOS and Linux without drivers. That matters in Kenyan offices and schools still running older desktops that cannot install new software easily. Plug it in, open the sound panel, and set it as the default playback and recording device. USB 2.0 is plenty for audio, so older ports carry it without any loss.
Is the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter good for online classes at Kenyan universities?
The UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter is a dependable choice for online classes on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet. It gives students at the University of Nairobi, JKUAT or Moi a working headphone and microphone path when the laptop socket fails. Its 16-bit, 48kHz output matches the sound quality those platforms send. Because it costs KSh 1,400, it suits a student budget far better than a laptop repair, and it slips into a bag pocket easily.
How do I set up the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter?
Plug the UGREEN US205 USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Headphone Sound Adapter into a USB-A port, and the computer detects it within seconds. Connect headphones to the green socket and a microphone to the red one. On Windows, open Sound settings and choose the USB audio device for both output and input. On a Mac, select it under System Settings, then Sound. On Linux, pick it in the sound menu. No power cable or software download is needed at any stage.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Audio Output
- External USB sound adapter with its own digital-to-analogue converter — turns the computer's digital signal into sound for your headphones.
- Green 3.5mm TRS headphone socket — TRS means a 3-pole plug carrying left and right stereo channels for headphones or speakers.
- Red 3.5mm TRS microphone socket — accepts clip-on, desk and boom microphones that come with their own separate pink or red plug.
- 16-bit, 48kHz audio — the standard resolution of online video, calls and most streaming music, so nothing you hear is held back.
- Bypasses the built-in audio socket entirely — a cracked, loose or dusty socket on your machine no longer affects what you hear.
Compatibility
- Driver-free on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP — older office and lab desktops work without hunting for software downloads.
- Works on macOS and Linux — the same adapter serves a MacBook at home and an Ubuntu machine in a school computer lab.
- Standard USB-A plug on USB 2.0 — fits rectangular ports on laptops, desktops, docks and hubs, including older machines.
- Bus-powered from the USB port — no separate charger or battery, so it runs anywhere the computer itself can run.
- Two separate sockets suit dual-plug PC headsets — 4-pole phone earphones need a splitter to use their microphone.
Build and Design
- Durable ABS plastic body — the tough plastic used in keyboards and phone cases, light and resistant to knocks in a bag.
- 15cm cable from plug to body — keeps the weight of headset cords off the computer's port and reduces strain over time.
- Colour-coded green and red sockets — match the standard PC audio colours, so plugs go in the right place on the first try.
- Black finish — sits quietly beside most laptops and desktop towers without drawing attention or showing everyday scuffs.
- Compact, light design — small enough to leave plugged into a desktop permanently or carry in a pencil case for school.
Inclusions and Support
- Genuine UGREEN product in sealed packaging — not an unbranded copy, and covered by Mascom International after you buy.
- Ready to use straight from the box — no installation disc, adapter or extra cable required for Windows, macOS or Linux.
- Headphones and microphones sold separately — Mascom International stocks wired options if you need a set to pair with it.
- 4-pole to dual 3.5mm splitters available in store — lets single-plug phone earphones use both sound and microphone here.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
