Keep the sound where you need it

The clear blue casing and over-the-ear positioning of the Joymiso earbuds remind me of a set of studio monitors more than a budget set of headphones. The hooks give you a lot of security so you can run or exercise with ease.

Adapt and overcome

Use your old earphones instead

If you already have an excellent pair of headphones and don't want to replace them, maybe a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter is in order? This is a simple black adapter that will let you plug the old into the new.

New mobile devices are USB-C compliant so choose the right headphones to accompany them

USB-C is a fantastic connection for charging, watching a video, and for listening to audio. The bandwidth it can supply allows for DAC compliant earphones to offer quality above and beyond what was possible before.

We really like the Kingone USB-C headphones as they are perfectly placed in the balance of great price and excellent sound quality. If you are looking for a name you know and can trust, then the tangle-free Belkin earphones might be right for you.
