Type-C, USB C, In-Ear Earphone Headphone With Microphone Black Review
Introduction
The Type-C, USB C, In-Ear Earphone Headphone With Microphone Black promises a simple, convenient listening experience thanks to its USB-C connection. But does it deliver on its promise of clear audio and comfortable wear? I spent several weeks using these earphones for calls, music listening, and general use to find out.
Features
The most prominent feature is the USB-C connector, a welcome change for users tired of the 3.5mm jack’s limitations. This allows for direct connection to a wide range of devices including smartphones, tablets, and laptops equipped with USB-C ports. The built-in microphone proved surprisingly clear during calls, allowing for smooth conversations even in moderately noisy environments. The in-line control allows for easy playback management, answering calls, and adjusting the volume which is a handy feature to have.
The earbuds themselves are made of soft silicone, which provides a decent level of comfort during extended use. However, the fit might not be ideal for everyone, particularly those with unusually shaped ear canals. The overall design is minimalist, but that’s not necessarily a negative.

Performance
Sound quality is acceptable for the price point. The bass response is present but not overly emphasized, providing a relatively balanced audio profile. The mid-range and high frequencies are clear enough for casual listening, but audiophiles may find them lacking in detail and depth. The microphone performed admirably, with my voice coming across clearly in testing calls. There was some background noise reduction, but it’s not noise-cancelling in any significant way.
I found that the in-line controls worked reliably, responding promptly to button presses. One thing to note: the volume control isn’t particularly precise, requiring a few taps for even minor adjustments.
The battery life, as these are wired headphones, isn’t a significant factor. However, the durability seems solid after my testing period.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Convenient USB-C connection, decent sound quality for casual listening, clear microphone, comfortable earplugs (for most), in-line controls for easy music and call management.
- Cons: Sound quality might not satisfy audiophiles, volume control lacks precision, fit might not be ideal for all ear shapes.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Type-C, USB C, In-Ear Earphone Headphone With Microphone Black offers a solid and convenient listening experience. The USB-C connector is a huge plus, and the performance is adequate for everyday use. While the sound quality isn’t exceptional, it’s perfectly acceptable for most listeners. If you’re looking for a simple, affordable pair of USB-C earphones, these are worth considering. I would recommend this product for users who prioritize convenience and a reliable microphone over high-fidelity audio.
