hello guys is Glen from Sydney CBD
rapper Center and today we have our
Google pixel to excel and I'm gonna show
you five ways how you can listen to
music or audio through it so as you know
by now if you have this device the
Google pixel to excel doesn't have any
headphone jack so it's just had a USB
type-c and you can use your traditional
headphones or earphones with a 3.5
millimeter jack in case you didn't know
by now the 3.5 millimeter Jack looks
like this so you have the the tip the
ring and the sleeve so usually for smart
phones you have four rings so this one
has three parts so this is your typical
3.5 millimeter jack so this is just a
cable it's not a headphone or an
earphone so the first way is obviously
if you don't really wanna don't want to
think about it is you can just use the
two speakers two front firing speakers
out of this Google to Google pixels to
excel so when you say watch a video
and the good news is when you use these
speakers these speakers are quite good
in its own and you don't really have to
think about how you can increase the
volume because the front firing profile
of these speakers are very good when you
want to listen to it all by themselves
so that's number one if you want to use
this external speaker so you have two
choices either you go for a wired or a
wireless so that's our second and third
option so here we have a Bluetooth
speaker this is a Logitech and you can
have any types of Bluetooth speakers you
want and all you have to do is to
connect connect this via bluetooth so
have to turn it turn this on and turn
the Bluetooth setting in the setting and
then you just spare them I won't be
dealing with that showing how you can
connect this through this device right
here but there's some tutorials and you
showed me how you can connect with the
speakers or Bluetooth headphones to your
smartphone so this is very simple so
what if you don't have the wireless
option so you have this Bluetooth
speaker but it also allows you to
connect it wire wired to your smartphone
so as what you recall a while ago I said
that this doesn't have any audio jacks
so this this is not a really useful for
now so I'm gonna show you how you can
connect a wired speaker or a wired
headphones
to your google pixel to excel so based
on my experience you you either have to
go to google and order the papaya
proprietary USB type-c 2 audio adapter
which is really uncommon and they just
support selected versions of it so it's
not accessible to all you just can't go
to Amazon or Ebay and buy a USB type-c 2
audio jack adapter you have to go to
Google and or either
ask Google what they what products they
support for this device and that can be
inconvenient so that's why a lot of
people just opt out and buying wireless
solutions for their Google pixels to
excel so what I found is you can either
have these solutions so this is solution
number 3
so I have here a USB type-c to a full
USB adapter so this is for your flash
drives when you connect this to your
Google to Google pixel to excel you can
use USB devices such as flash drives
mouse and keyboards and we have videos
of that previously and it works this one
and it's opening a lot of possibilities
so we can use USB devices so remember
that so this option is pretty cool so
how can you use a USB type-c USB device
to an audio jack if you might ask this
device so this is a USB 2 headphone 2
microphone adapter so we can buy this
online on eBay Aliexpress Amazon so this
usually plugs into your laptop if you
have a broken headphone jack or you
don't have a you have a microphone and
headphone device but all you have is a
combo chest so most laptops now have
just have one combo jack for that so you
can use this to plug into your USB port
and split it to microphone and headphone
so what I do is based on experience that
works is you take this one and then just
plug it in
like that and then take your Google
Excel to excel so that's how it looks
like so you can now plug in your
headphone or your speakers to listen to
audio so this is neat so by so long-term
use I can recommend this but the
downside is it's not really consistent
sometimes the the device fails it
depends on the really the quality of
this one of the USB 2 audio interface
but it works you don't have to buy a
specific supported device since the USB
is supported anywhere anyway so this one
is their third option
so that opens up to this so now we can
connect the speaker so this can be your
see if you have a speaker at home right
you have a big speaker and you don't
really want to use it wirelessly and now
you can connect it
but I can't guarantee that it will work
on you so you have to try it out first
or if you have a device that you can try
out then maybe you can use that so and
our last option since we can use this to
a speaker way 3.5 millimeter checks but
wired is still better than Wireless in
my opinion if you want convenience you
go for wireless headphone or your phone
now you can use it so when you go out in
your house and you want to maybe listen
to podcasts and you're on your commute
you can use your headphones with a 3.5
millimeter jack and then plug it in
using our adapters so an OTG adapter and
the USB the 3.5 millimeter headphone
jack it's not that bad just be careful
that you don't ruin it
so that's it
but if you know if this is work around
and probably can say that it's a hack
well not really a hack it's just using
simple devices that you can find
anywhere to solve a specific problem so
so first one is you have to you can use
the built-in speakers you can use
wireless speakers and wireless
headphones and you can use
while speakers and headphones through
the OTG cable and USB adapter so that's
it I hope you can use this on your own
devices so if you have other devices
that still have that headphone jack but
it's it kind of broken you can send them
in for repair sydney CBD repair center
we repair that but if you have a type c
then maybe you can use that as a backup
so we have our galaxy as eight that
still has the headphone jack so the
newer Galaxy smartphones don't listen
necessarily have that but the omission
of the headphone jack kind of sucks to
be honest as a fan of tech it limits our
ability to use existing devices but
technology needs to move on and we have
to adapt and this setup right here is
the way we adapt to things so I hope you
find this helpful guys and subscribe and
