Hello,

I have a Razer Kraken Pro headset that connects via USB. The sound is great, and I would like to enjoy it on my smartphone (a Sony Xperia Z1) which has a headphone jack and a micro USB port usually used for charging the phone.
I was told that USB/jack adapters apparently do not exist because the signal is completely different. But is there a way to use the micro USB port on my phone to connect my headset with an adapter?
Thank you

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 43.0.2357.124

    Hi,

    You can try an OTG cable.

    This cable has a male µUSB on one side and a female USB on the other side.

    It's generally used to connect a USB stick to a smartphone or tablet.

    However, I don’t know if the sound will come out through this connector.

    Given the price, if it doesn’t work, you won’t be broke.
