The inevitable death of the headphone jack means that USB-C audio and USB-C headphones are now a thing. It's not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, but it is a (mostly) new thing. If you would rather not try and keep a set of wireless headphones charged, it's also a thing that means you'll need to buy new headphones. We've rounded up a list of the best available right now so you can get your tunes on!
Made for Google
Libratone Q Adapt
Libratone's Q Adapt USB-C headphones are part of the "Made for Google" program that launched with the Pixel 2. They offer a unique type of ANC and a Hush mode that squares things up when you receive an incoming call.
An Essential choice
Essential Earphones HD
These unassuming headphones from Essential are pure function over form. Built for excellent sound and with a tangle-free silicone coated cable you'll love the tone and the price.
Go Bold
RAZER Hammerhead USB-C
Big booming sound and bright neon green make these headphones scream RAZER. They also come with plenty of tips to fit any ear and are surprisingly cheap; both are things we love.
Hi-Res Certified
Xiamoi Mi ANC Earphones
The Mi ANC Earphones offer great sound and are very well built. They're certified for Hi-Res audio and use MEMS (micro-electromechanical microphones) in the earpieces to make sure ANC is precise.
USB-C audio is still in its infancy, which is unfortunate since phone manufacturers seem to not realize it. While there isn't the same huge selection you see with a standard 3.5mm headphone plug, you can find a great set of headphones that use the new connector. I'm partial to the because of their $50 price, but all the picks on our list will sound great.
