Hi everyone, I need your help with something.

My old JBL headphones are starting to degrade, and so I’m looking for a replacement. As I have a FairPhone now, I don’t have an aux jack anymore. I’m also not a huge fan of audio over bluetooth.

So I’ve started searching for some simple over-ear or on-ear cabled headphones that connect with a USB C cable. I have found one from lenovo, but it is a headset with a boom mic. Ideally I just want headphones, simple and robust. I don’t care about noise-cancelling or other bells and whistles.

Anyone have anything?

Note: I know adapters are a thing. I find them annoying and prone to damage. I don’t want to use one.

    Koss just came out with portapros with (partially) detachable Usb C and jack cables, if you would like something that doesn’t go inside your ears.

        It’s this one. Had a run for 6 years using exclusively portapros. I’m using larger cans now, but I do kind of want one of those.

          This actually looks really solid. I was thinking more about the traditional seashell shape, but from the functionality these are perfect. Thanks!
