What the TH9 USB-C earbuds are and who they suit

The MAS CARNEY TH9 is a wired USB-C in-ear headset with a semi-in-ear fit that avoids silicone tips. It connects directly to devices that lack a 3.5 mm jack, including recent iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Samsung Galaxy models. A built-in DAC in the cable handles digital-to-analogue conversion. The 120 ohm impedance and integrated microphone make it a straightforward choice for calls, streaming and casual listening. Buyers who want active noise cancellation or a detachable cable will not find those features here.

Behaviour under sustained daily use

The 120 cm cable and lightweight 0.05 kg construction keep the earbuds comfortable during long video classes or extended music sessions. Plug-and-play operation means no driver installation or battery management is required. The dynamic driver and sound-isolation design deliver consistent audio without the pressure build-up common with deep-insertion tips. The inline remote provides basic playback and call control throughout the day. Users who need multi-device Bluetooth switching or audiophile-grade resolution should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

Because the TH9 draws power directly from the host USB-C port, there is no separate battery to charge and no heat generated in the earpieces. The passive sound-isolation shell reduces external noise without active circuitry, so there is no fan or electronic hiss. The microphone impedance of roughly 2K ohm and -24 dB sensitivity support clear voice pickup during calls. The all-plastic shell stays cool even after hours of continuous use. Anyone requiring on-ear controls for volume or ANC modes will not find them on this model.

Questions about this item

Will the built-in DAC chip in the USB-C cable draw noticeable power from my phone during all-day use?

The earbuds are passive with no separate power supply, so the DAC draws only the tiny current needed for audio playback.

My laptop has only USB-A ports — what do I need to use these USB-C earbuds?

A USB-C to USB-A adapter that supports digital audio is required; the earbuds themselves have a fixed USB-C plug.

I still use an iPhone 11 with a Lightning port — can I keep using these earbuds with it?

No, the TH9 has a USB-C connector and is not compatible with Lightning ports without a separate adapter.
