Hi everyone, I need your help with something.
My old JBL headphones are starting to degrade, and so I’m looking for a replacement. As I have a FairPhone now, I don’t have an aux jack anymore. I’m also not a huge fan of audio over bluetooth.
So I’ve started searching for some simple over-ear or on-ear cabled headphones that connect with a USB C cable. I have found one from lenovo, but it is a headset with a boom mic. Ideally I just want headphones, simple and robust. I don’t care about noise-cancelling or other bells and whistles.
Anyone have anything?
Note: I know adapters are a thing. I find them annoying and prone to damage. I don’t want to use one.
Check out linsoul if you are in the EU or massdrop if you are in the US.
There are a huge amount of basic, low cost earphone manufacturers. The budget audiophile community can also provide more targeted help if needed, just be sure to include more info like price range, how you plan to use the headphones and what quality you expect, to get more helpful advice.
I’m currently using a €25 set which have almost identical sounds quality to my €200 headphones in many situations.

I’m in the EU, and thanks, linsoul looks like a good shop to search.
No problem, just note shipping times can be higher than other stores. Also be sure to use the EU domain (linsoul.de) otherwise customs duties may be added :)
Thank you so much for that shop recommendation, I have been searching for this for a while.
