Priorities in order:

• Wired USB-C Connectivity

• In ear headphones/earbuds

• Durable - would love to get a minimum of 3 years of moderate use out of them.

• Microphone

• (Flexible, but ideally) $45 or less

They don't have to be the most incredible audio quality ever created, I'm just tired of having to constantly replace my headphones.

I primarily use my headphones for videos or music while in public, or for work meetings. I'd use them probably 3-4 times a week. I've mostly tried cheap options off Amazon, hence them breaking constantly.

Now I'm currently searching for the best USB Type-C earphones since my new phone doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I want something that delivers solid audio quality for both music and calls. Comfort, durability, and good microphone performance are important to me, especially since I use earphones a lot during the day.

I’ve looked around online and seen a few options, but I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences and any recommendations you have. Some of the Type-C earphones I’ve been considering include:

• Google Pixel USB-C Earbuds

• Samsung AKG Type-C Earphones

• Sony STH50C USB-C Earphones

• Razer Hammerhead USB-C

• OnePlus Type-C Bullets

• Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear USB-C

• Baseus H1 Type-C Earphones

If you have a personal favorite or have had good (or bad) experiences with any of these, I’d love to hear about it. I’m especially interested in clear sound, decent bass, and something that doesn’t feel too bulky or uncomfortable over time.
