More and more phone manufacturers on the market are switching to USB-C ports as a one-size-fits-all connection for power, file transfer, and audio connection. As such, the headphones market has followed suit and started releasing more models that come with USB-C analog cables. Some USB-C headphones are wired-only, while others offer the flexibility of being used wirelessly, too.

We’ve tested over 720 pairs of headphones, and below are our recommendations for the best USB-C earphones and headphones. For more picks, check out our recommendations for the best headphones, the best Bluetooth headphones, and the best true wireless earbuds.

The best USB-C headphones we’ve tested are the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless. These premium headphones are designed to work both via Bluetooth and analog, so you can use them in any scenario. They have a snug, comfy fit around your ears, but the headband puts pressure on the side of your head, which negatively affects comfort over long listening sessions. Fortunately, they have a robust control scheme that’s easy to learn and use, and their battery lasts over 37 hours on a single charge, so they’ll last repeat workdays without needing a top-up.

Out of the box, these headphones have an excited, V-shaped sound profile that delivers extra bright treble and thumpy bass. While this makes them well-suited for genres like pop and hip-hop, the mix ends up sounding muddy and piercing as a result. Fortunately, their companion app lets you change their sound via graphic EQ and presets. Their ANC also works well, keeping you isolated from mid and high-range background noise, like office chatter and whiny AC units, respectively, but don’t do as well isolating you from low-frequency noise, like bus engines or heavy traffic during a commute. Their integrated mic is decent, making your voice sound clear and natural while also keeping it well isolated from moderate background noise. However, louder noise, like a passing train or bus, will drown your voice out.

The best USB-C headphones for calls are the Audeze Maxwell Wireless. Even though they’re gaming headphones, they have a fairly non-descript look, and unlike the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless, their USB-C connection offers full mic and audio compatibility. What also sets them apart from other picks on this list is that they come with a boom mic as well as an integrated mic, which is handy if you want them to look even more casual. Both mics make your voice sound very clear and natural. The boom mic also has fantastic noise handling, ensuring that you’re audible throughout the call, no matter where you are. However, since the integrated mic sits further away from your mouth, this mic has a harder time separating speech from noise, and won’t offer you nearly the same level of noise handling as the boom mic.

Their battery lasts nearly 78 hours on a single charge, so they’ll last through several long shifts. They’re also decently comfortable but are a little bulky and noticeably heavy, which can be fatiguing over a long workday. Fortunately, they deliver an extremely neutral sound profile. Whether you’re listening to others on a conference call, or enjoying music in your downtime, their sound is very accurate and well-balanced from bass to treble. You can also finetune them to your liking using their companion app’s EQ presets. Keep in mind that they lack ANC. While they do a solid job of reducing ambient chatter, some noise like heavy traffic from an open window can drown out audio coming from the other end of your call. Additionally, these headphones are hard to find in stock, which can be a deal-breaker if you don’t want to wait for restocks.

The Logitech G333 are the best type-C earbuds we’ve tested. They’re normally found around the $50 mark, but you can often find them on sale for even cheaper. While they’re simple in design, these wired gaming in-ears come in a few different color schemes and have an AUX to USB-C adapter to connect them to devices with a USB-C port, like your PC or phone. The adapter adds latency to your connection, but it isn’t too noticeable. On the upside, they’re stable and have a comfortable design that doesn’t tire out your inner ear, so they’re suitable for long gaming sessions.

Their bass-heavy sound profile adds extra body and punch to mixes that can help bring out sound effects in action-packed games. However, they don’t have any customization features to help you adjust their sound to your liking. There’s also no way to mute the mic or skip tracks with the in-line remote, so their onboard control scheme is limited. Fortunately, they passively block out a decent amount of mid-range noise like conversation and don’t leak very much audio.

Google Pixel USB-C Earbuds:
The Google Pixel USB-C Earbuds are a solid choice if you prefer an earbud fit over an in-ear fit. However, they’re not as well-built as the Samsung AKG Type-C, and they’re prone to a lot more inconsistencies in audio delivery due to their design.
See our review
Drop + THX Panda Wireless:
The Drop + THX Panda Wireless are Bluetooth headphones that can receive audio via an included USB-C cable. They’re more expensive than the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless, have worse build quality, and lack ANC. However, they offer a longer continuous battery life when you’re using them wirelessly.

Sennheiser SC 160 USB-C Headset:
The Sennheiser SC 160 USB-C Headset are a cheaper alternative to the Logitech Zone Wired. They’re not as comfortable or well-built as the Logitech, but they have a significantly better overall mic performance.

Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best type-C earphones for most people in each price range. We factor in the price, feedback from our visitors, and availability.

If you want to check out our reviews yourself, here is the list of all our reviews of USB-C headphones. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While no headphones are perfect, most are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not too noticeable unless you look for them.

Best USB-C headphones: Wired without a headphone jack

Now that more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon of removing their headphone jack, the artificial market of alternative audio solutions is now in chaos. What’s good? What’s bad? How do you know? Apple would want you to grab a pair of Beats wireless headphones, but there’s another solution you might not be aware of: USB-C wired headphones. While this market segment is now basically dead—there are some options out there. It’s just that they’re not really very affordable.

But I caution you: there just aren’t enough products currently available to offer a credible alternative to Bluetooth or traditional headphones. Despite how promising the tech is, USB-C wasn’t ready to replace the ubiquitous 3.5mm headphone jack—and there’s almost nothing to meet the demand for the new product category. Not to belabor the point, but we saw almost no new releases for USB-C headphones from 2019 to 2022. That’s a pretty stark reminder that USB-C headphones just aren’t getting the releases they need in order to be a credible product category.

Editor’s note: this post was updated on May 16, 2023 to update available products with the 2022 and 2023 releases.

Why is the Shure AONIC 50 the best USB-C headphones?

It took a few years, but finally, finally there’s an option for this list that isn’t terrible. Unfortunately, at $399, they’re also one of the pricier headphones we recommend on this site.

Shure AONIC 50

7.9

Shure AONIC 50

Currently, the best USB-C headphones are the Shure AONIC 50. While they’re not the traditional USB-C headphones you were expecting, they do allow passthrough listening via the beleaguered connector—technically qualifying this headset for “USB-C headphone” status. As they’re primarily Bluetooth headphones that have a USB-C listening option for those that want it, you’re not locked into the wired listening if you want to swap sources.

Taken on their own merits, the Shure AONIC 50 are excellent noise-canceling headphones, worthy of anyone’s attention as a set of all-around performers.

The Focal Bathys are the most expensive, best sounding option on this list

Though it’s easily the most expensive option on this list, the Focal Bathys are the best-sounding headphones when it comes to USB-C connectivity. Not only does the product have its own DAC on the inside, but it can connect to just about anything that can send data over USB-C as a result.

Focal Bathys

8.3

Focal Bathys

The Focal Bathys are loaded to the gills with features built around sound quality, but there are a couple of downsides outside of the price. For example, the headphones are quite heavy at 350g, and the noise canceling is merely “decent.” Additionally, you must have the headphones charged in order to use them. Still, if you want the best sound quality out of your USB-C headphones, this is it.

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is a less-expensive set of ANC headphones

If you don’t want to spend almost $800 USD on headphones, but still want what the Focal Bathys has to offer: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is a really solid replacement for just under half the price. Though it doesn’t quite sound as good as the Focal Bathys, it is very much worth the money in that department. Additionally, the product is lighter, has a much better battery life, and about the same ANC performance.

Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

Though $380 USD is still a really steep price for anyone looking for casual headphones, we strongly encourage you to take the leap if you’re looking for a tool that serves you for multiple years. While it may sting up front, sometimes expensive headphones are worth it—and this is one of those times.

Check out the AiAiAi TMA-2 MFG4

If you’re okay with the on-ear design, the AiAiAi TMA-2 MFG4 is currently the next-best USB-C headphones behind the three ANC options listed above. It’s a thin field, but these headphones are solid contenders, if a bit pricey. The USB-C audio category is still developing painfully slowly, but these also happen to have a DAC integrated right into the cable. That may seem like a given with a USB accessory, but the category is such a trainwreck that I have to point that out.

AiAiAi TMA-2 MFG4

7.2

AiAiAi TMA-2 MFG4

As far as the headphones go, the AiAiAi TMA-2 MFG4 sound surprisingly decent, and the totally-modular design lends itself well to tinkerers and klutzes alike, as you can replace any part of the headphones should they break (or displease you). Personally, I could go for bigger pads: the thin ones included with the standard headphones just don’t do it for me.

Thankfully, AiAiAi offers standalone parts in its store—including bigger pads. When the USB-C cable becomes available on its own, that will make all these other presets contenders for this list:

TMA-2 MFG1 Preset
TMA-2 MFG2 Preset
TMA-2 MFG3 Preset
TMA-2 MFG5 Preset
TMA-2 MFG6 Preset
TMA-2 MFG7 Preset
TMA-2 MFG8 Preset

The stock speaker elements are very straightforward and work quite well. The bass isn’t crazily-overdone on the TMA-2 MFG4 like it is on many consumer headphones, meaning your music will sound a lot clearer than you might be used to if you have a pair of Beats or similar cans. However, that’s all assuming you can get a good seal on your head. While it may sound a little obvious to say, on-ear headphones aren’t really known to be predictable in how well they isolate you from the world around you. If you can’t hear the bass, the headphones probably aren’t fitting well. You need a fairly even frequency response (all notes at roughly the same possible max loudness) to hear everything in your tunes, so when there’s a crazy deviation, audio quality drops.

It isn’t amazing, it costs $150, and it doesn’t offer any killer features. However, it works well—without an app—on both Android and Windows. That’s enough to be a contender for the king of the USB-C hill currently.

Google’s USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Cable turns any headset into a USB-C headset

There’s not much to say about this other than it connects to any 3. 5mm port on a pair of headphones and terminates in a USB-C connector. This allows you to take your favorite pair of headphones and plug it directly into your phone’s USB-C input.

Google USB Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter

Buy now

The only a couple inches long, and works on all USB-C ports, including the one found on Apple’s iPad. It’s less than $10, but it does everything that you need it to. You don’t need to overthink anything here, the dongles are near-perfect for low-power devices such as headphones, and there just isn’t a huge reason to shell out for anything more expensive.

The best USB-C headphones: Notable mentions

Shure RMCE-USB Earphone Communication Cable with Integrated DAC/Amp: If you’ve already invested money into something in Shure’s line-up then it’s also worth checking out their (RMCE-USB) terminating in MMCX connectors that can turn its entire lineup of in-ear monitors into USB-C powerhouses that will undoubtedly mop the floor with the existing pack performance-wise. Coming in at $99, this can make the following IEMs USB-C enabled:
- Shure SE215
- Shure SE315
- Shure SE425
- Shure SE535
- Shure SE846
If you buy an Android phone, sometimes there are USB-C dongles in the case

If it seems like this is a thin list, that’s because it is.

Hold up! Something’s different:

Some of our picks’ frequency response and isolation charts were measured with our old testing system. We have since purchased a Bruel & Kjaer 5128 test fixture (and the appropriate support equipment) to update our testing and data collection. It will take a while to update our backlog of old test results, but we will update this article (and many others!) once we’re able with improved sound quality measurements and isolation performance plots. These will be made obvious with our new chart aesthetic (black background instead of white).

Thank you for bearing with us, and we hope to see you again once we’ve sorted everything out.

Do

not buy anything else

It’s not that all the other USB-C headphones are bad, but buying something for the sake of buying it is unwise when better investments exist. Most of the other options on the market currently suffer from one of our extremely few and reasonable dealbreakers. At this point, the good news is that the most common dealbreaker hit is that many of the models that used to be available no longer are on shelves. The bad news is that it doesn’t appear that the segment will be well-populated in the future.

I have yet to find a set of USB-C headphones that aren’t frustrating as hell in some way or another.

Though we’re past the part of the product lifespan where you have to worry about walled gardens and incompatibility between phones and headphones, Apple remains the last holdout with a nonstandard connector (ie, the Lightning connector). However, iPhones and iPads may all be forced to use USB-C as a connector following some legal changes over in the EU, which would mean that a slew of new users may want to look for USB-C headphones. This might move the market, but currently it has a lot of ground to cover.

How we select candidates for the best USB-C headphones

The absolute bare minimum criteria we use for our best lists isn’t very discerning, but most models fail this easy test:

The products have to be reasonably easy to buy for your average shopper
The products have to work on most popular devices
The products cannot be discontinued, or cause physical harm

I’ll admit, selecting candidates was the hardest part. Not only are people simply not searching for this term yet, but the number of products available when I started this article was extremely scarce. They were so scarce that most of my results were initially just leaked products that weren’t even released yet. We did find a handful of products out there—some by reputable companies—but the line-up is still too thin for our liking.

How we test the best USB-C headphones

After buying whatever we could find, getting pre-orders in, and begging for help: we were able to build a corpus of candidates to assess. Considering the compatibility issues with USB-C at the moment, the first bar to clear was “the product has to work on modern, popular smartphones.” We thought that’d be an easy one to clear, but we were wrong. Despite my gut feeling that I should skip the low-end in-ears on Amazon, I forged ahead anyway… and wasn’t surprised when I got more enjoyment out of watching paint dry than the most of the bunch. Some models were actually painful to use.

We test USB-C audio products like we do any other model: we use ’em!

From there, we assessed sound quality, features, and comfort in that order. Obviously, that’s not a scientific test, but we did have more than one person testing these things. Over the last few years, we’ve been able to test hundreds of products—but only a few have the USB-C audio connectivity that people were hoping for. It wasn’t until 2023 that there were ANC headphones on the market in any appreciable capacity for this category, so you can see how slow-moving this is. It’s so dire, that this article exists solely because it would be dishonest to not say the segment is currently incomplete.

Best USB Headphones (2023) – USB Headsets

In this rating, we will consider USB headphones for a computer and not only . We will assume that USB headphones are those that occupy the USB connector.

Wired headphones with USB plug . More traditional wired models. These can be headphones with a built-in sound card (when it is not allocated in a separate unit, but “hidden” in a bowl) or the ZK can be made in the form of a control panel on a wire. Who is more comfortable here. Usually, headphones with a sound card have several connection options: via USB and at least 3.5 mm.
USB Type-C headphones . These are options for mobile gaming or connecting to a laptop, for example. A sort of modern and “semi-mobile” USB gaming headphones.
