Suggestions for USB-C Headphones with Mic

Hey All,

Does anyone have suggested product on USB-C Headphones that also have handsfree capabaility?

I've done a bit of research and the range seems severely limited, or extremely expensive.

Why do you want USB-C and not Bluetooth?

Xiaomi makes USB type C ~~headphones~~ earphones now, since their new flagships do not have a headphone jack.

There are also generic ones for $5 USD, probably something destined for the rubbish bin after a month.

  No microphone for handsfree though right?

You could get an adapter similar to this and just use your existing pair of headphones.

  You need to be careful with these adaptors. These adaptors only work if they have a DAC(Digital to Analog Converter) chip either in the phone or in the adaptor.
  
  Most cheap adaptors don't have a chip in them, so it depends on whether your phone has one.
  
  Google branded are good value and quality with inbuilt DAC so will work on all phones with USB-C port. They sell out quickly once they come in stock.

    That is very cheap. I also recently saw this https://www.massdrop.com/buy/zorloo-zuperdac-s. Could be a good solution for OP.
