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.
A number of over-ear Bluetooth headphones support usb-audio. rtings provides a list, but I’m sure there are more out there.
I resisted converting to Bluetooth headphones for a while and this route provided a decent bridge. Bluetooth LE audio seems like it will be nirvana between low latency, audio quality, and energy efficiency but not many devices support it currently.
