Type-C Earphones (USB-C Earphones) are wired earphones that connect via the USB Type-C port instead of the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. They are designed for modern smartphones, tablets, and laptops that lack a headphone jack, providing clear digital audio, built-in mic support, and easy plug-and-play functionality.

Smartphones That Support Type-C Earphones

Not every phone with a USB-C port supports audio through Type-C earphones. It depends on whether the manufacturer enabled USB-C audio. Here’s a detailed guide by brand and series:

What About Budget Models?

If a smartphone is more entry-level or uses USB-C for charging/data only (without documenting audio support), it’s safer to use Type-C earphones with an integrated DAC or get a USB-C to 3.5mm DAC adapter.

Partially Supported Smartphones (Require DAC-Enabled Type-C Earphones)

Some phones have USB-C ports only for charging and data, not audio.

  • Entry-level Xiaomi Redmi, Oppo A-series, Vivo Y-series, Realme C-series
  • Older Android phones have USB-C, but still have a headphone jack

For these phones, you must use Type-C earphones with a built-in DAC or a Type-C to 3.5mm DAC adapter.

Tips

  • If your phone does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack → Most likely supports Type-C earphones.
  • If your phone has both USB-C & headphone jack → May not support Type-C audio (needs DAC-enabled earphones).
  • Always check the official phone specs for “USB-C audio” support.
