An accessory that OnePlus 7 Pro buyers may need costs 62% more after price increases

Last year, OnePlus 6T was not bundled with a headphone jack, but was supplied with a 3.5mm type C cable that allows users to use the phone's charging port to connect a wired headset. In case of loss of the dongle, the direct replacement from OnePlus cost $ 8 (before taxes and delivery charges). The OnePlus 7 Pro also has a 3.5mm port, but buyers do not have to worry about losing this accessory because it is not even included in the box. So, if someone with OnePlus wants to use a wired headset requiring a 3.5mm jack, he will have to buy that dongle.

But as some posters of Reddit have discovered (via Android Police), 8 dollars will not be enough. The 3.5mm Type C Adapter is now available for $ 12.95 on the OnePlus website. This represents a 62% increase in the price of the accessory, designed for the OnePlus 6T, OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro only. With standard shipping to states, the price before tax is $ 19.94. Using Priority Shipments, two days faster, the cost is $ 22.94 before taxes.

We have found a seller on eBay selling the Type C adapter at 3.5mm for only $ 1.89 with free shipping, but the problem is that the OnePlus 7 Pro will not work with every adapter. We found someone on the auction site selling the OnePlus 6T dongle at $ 5.69 with free shipping, but there are only a few units left. If you have a OnePlus 6T and you have lost your dongle, or if you want one for your OnePlus 7 Pro, your best choice may be on Amazon, where you can buy two 3.5mm Type C adapters for 7 , $ 99. This accessory works for the OnePlus 6T, so it should also fit the OnePlus 7 Pro. After $ 5.99 for shipping, the pre-tax price is $ 13.98 for the pair.
