Product Information

We have state-of-the-art testing facilities in London, Reading and Bath, where our team of experienced, in-house reviewers test the majority of hi-fi and AV kit that passes through our door. Wired USB-C headphones offer better audio than wireless headphones. They deliver cleaner and more detailed sound and also have lower latency. Both audiophiles and gamers can benefit from using a wired USB connection over a Bluetooth one. Additionally, you can charge your headphones while listening when you use a USB-C cable. This can be quite the relief when you run out of battery mid-session or you are on the go. They have French-made aluminum-magnesium dynamic drivers, which deliver a rich sound profile with a well-balanced bass range, and it's only improved when you use them wired via their 'DAC' mode. You can fine-tune their sound using their companion app if you want a different sound. However, this high-quality design makes them significantly more expensive than the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless. They're also bulky and have a high weight and clamping force that can cause fatigue after long listening periods, especially if you wear glasses. For a simple pair of USB-C wired in-ear buds that won’t cost an arm and a leg, the Samsung AKG Type-C is affordable and offers surprisingly good quality. They are wired-only buds, and while they are marketed for use with Samsung phones, they will, of course, work with any device with a USB-C port.

The headset boasts an ESS 9281 DAC with quad-DAC technology and MQA support for studio-quality audio among its features. It can decode signals with up to 32-bit/384kHz high-resolution audio for detailed and accurate sound reproduction. It also reaches an SNR level of 130dB, which is approximately 50 percent higher than a single-DAC headset can reach. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); If sound quality is your thing, the Focal Bathys Wireless are the best-sounding USB-C headphones we've tested. These Bluetooth headphones are designed for audiophiles on the go and have several connection options, including a USB-C to USB-C cable for newer devices.

Another pair of quality wireless cans with good ANC that support wired USB-C listening is the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 headphones. While they have a firmer-than-usual clamp, they are extremely comfortable, even when worn for long periods. Furthermore, breathable faux-leather earcups covering soft memory foam pads complement the snug fit. 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 a bit muddy and piercing.
