BENEWY USB C Headphone
A built-in DAC chip and 10mm dynamic driver deliver Hi-Res wired audio directly over USB-C, bypassing low-quality headphone jacks on modern devices. The over-ear IEM design with multiple silicone tips provides a secure, noise-isolating fit, while the magnetic housing and included case add practical portability for a budget price. This is best for smartphone users who need a reliable, low-cost wired headset for calls and music on USB-C-only devices like the iPhone 16 or Samsung S25.
