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.

    Have you ruled out the Google Pixel USB-C earbuds? Those work well for me and the design is nice and simple. I’ll probably keep using them until they break one day (like you also have mixed feelings about bluetooth).

    Remember seeing that Google was going to phase them out eventually but they still seem to sell them at least for now.

      But thanks anyway.
