While they’re not the traditional USB-C headphones you were expecting, they do allow passthrough listening via the beleaguered connector-technically qualifying this headset for “USB-C headphone” status. Granted, they’re not going to blow you away in any one category, but even after reviewing these I find myself reaching for them as they’re the simplest solution that gets the job done.Ĭurrently, the best USB-C headphones are the Shure AONIC 50. They ditch any fancy features like active noise cancelling and just do right by the basics. You might be able to find a cheap, knockoff pair on the internet if you search hard enough, but the real ones really are a great pair of earbuds that only cost around $20. If you don’t want to spend too much, there’s really only one option: the OnePlus Type-C Bullets.

Not to belabor the point, but we saw almost no new releases for USB-C headphones in 2019, save for proprietary phone earbuds. Despite how promising the tech is, USB-C wasn’t ready to replace the ubiquitous 3.5mm headphone jack-and there’s almost nothing to meet the demand for the new product category. Until that happens, this list exists as a stark reminder that the innovations of Silicon Valley are often ill-timed and foolhardy. The USB-C connector is well reinforced and fits well.īut I caution you: there just aren’t enough products currently available to offer a credible alternative to Bluetooth or traditional headphones.
