For weeks, I’ve been testing the Type-C, USB C, In-Ear Earphone Headphone With Microphone (White) – a promising pair of earbuds boasting a USB-C connection and a surprisingly affordable price tag. My goal was to determine if these earbuds delivered on their promise of well-balanced audio and clear calls. The initial impression was good – a sleek white design and comfortable fit. But does the performance match the aesthetics?

The standout feature, of course, is the USB-C connection. This eliminates the need for dongles and offers a streamlined experience, especially for users of newer smartphones and laptops. The 14mm large moving coil, polymer diaphragms are a key component in the sound production, aiming for a balanced triple-frequency response. The earbuds also incorporate a high-sensitivity omni-directional microphone, a crucial element for clear calls.

The half-in-ear design promised comfort during extended use, and I’m happy to report that it largely delivered. I found them comfortable for several hours of continuous listening, even during commutes. The fit was secure enough to prevent them from falling out, even during light physical activity.

Sound quality was surprisingly good for this price point. The bass response was decent, providing enough punch for most genres without overwhelming the mids and highs. The mids were clear and well-defined, allowing vocals to shine. High frequencies were crisp and detailed, but could occasionally sound slightly bright at high volumes. The overall sound profile is leaning towards a slightly warmer signature, which I personally appreciated.

Microphone performance was another pleasant surprise. During calls, my voice came through clearly, even in moderately noisy environments. Call recipients consistently reported good audio quality, with minimal background noise interference.

Pros

• Comfortable half-in-ear design
• Excellent sound quality for the price
• Clear microphone performance
• Convenient USB-C connectivity

Cons

• High frequencies can be slightly bright at higher volumes
• No active noise cancellation
• Limited controls (no volume adjustment on the earbuds themselves)

Overall, the Type-C, USB C, In-Ear Earphone Headphone With Microphone (White) exceeded my expectations for a budget-friendly pair of USB-C earbuds. The comfort, sound quality, and microphone performance are all excellent for the price. While some minor improvements could be made (like adding volume controls on the earbuds and perhaps incorporating noise cancellation), these are relatively minor drawbacks compared to the overall value proposition.

I would wholeheartedly recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and well-sounding pair of USB-C earphones without breaking the bank. They are a solid choice for everyday use, whether you’re listening to music, making calls, or both.
