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.

New here, wondering if I could get any guidance on buying a new pair of wired earbuds? Specifically looking for something that has good all-around use, I like listening to music when going on runs and walking to work mainly.

I've been using very basic/overly priced Skullcandy usb-c wired headphones for the past year, but every time I get a new pair it seems like in the first 2-6 weeks of owning one of the earbuds goes deaf. I hate always spending $30 for another pair that I know is just going to get trashed in a month. With that being said, willing to increase my budget if I know a pair of earbuds have a good lifespan.

If you're wondering why USB-C--I have a Google pixel phone. I didn't know any better when I purchased it and was deeply depressed to not see an audio jack on it ):

Thanks for reading!
