Zenith USB-C earbuds

Phones and tablets dropped the headphone jack, so we put the USB-C plug on our plainest pair. You get a smooth housing, a wire with an inline microphone, and zero menus to navigate. Plug it in and the sound starts.

The USB-C plug
This version fits modern phones and tablets that carry only the oval port. You skip the small adapter that gets lost in a pocket. If your device takes USB-C, this pair slides right in.
No battery inside
A wire gives you an unbroken connection. You can sit on a long video call without checking a power meter. Nothing runs out of juice halfway through a conversation.
Inline microphone
The microphone hangs close to your jaw on the cord. It catches your voice for calls while you keep both hands on the keyboard. It handles work meetings and quick phone chats.
Honest passive isolation
The silicone tip sits in the ear canal to block some clatter, but it leaves the world audible. You still hear traffic on the sidewalk and the flight attendant at the gate.

USB-C
A USB-C plug does not go into a round headphone socket, and a USB-C port on its own is not a promise of sound. A few cheap tablets and desktop cases wire that port for power only.
