Monoprice 147396 USB-C Earbuds

The Monoprice 147396 is a pair of wired in-ear headphones that connect through a USB-C port. They are built for listeners who want a direct digital link to smartphones, tablets, laptops and gaming devices without relying on a 3.5 mm jack. The cable includes an inline microphone and a single control button for calls and playback. Weighing 0.11 units, they are intended for extended wear with minimal fatigue.

Upgrade from 3.5 mm analog connections

These earbuds replace analogue 3.5 mm headsets by drawing power through the USB-C interface to drive 10 mm drivers across a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. The digital connection supplies more power than a traditional headphone port, which lets the drivers produce deeper bass and clearer highs at the rated 5 mW input and 10 mW maximum. The jump is worth it when your device has dropped the 3.5 mm socket or when you want a cleaner signal path without a separate DAC dongle.

Suited for USB-C device owners wanting simple

They suit anyone with a USB-C equipped phone, tablet or laptop who prefers a lightweight, plug-and-play headset for music, calls and gaming. Buyers who need wireless freedom, active noise cancellation or a 3.5 mm plug for legacy hardware should look at something else. The single-button remote covers basic play, pause and call handling but offers no volume control or advanced features.
