I am looking for a set of wired earbuds with a USBC Jack. I had a set of apple ones with an adapter but I found the adapter too unreliable. This will be for use with a google pixel phone. Anyone got a set they could suggest?
Personally I prefer to use a good USB-C to 3.5mm adapter which has a high quality DAC, and use whichever wired earphones I already have. The sound quality will be better than any USB-C integrated earphones that use the cheapest disposable DAC, and it means you can switch between earphones, headphones etc and use the same adapter, or when your earphones wear out you can replace them with any other 3.5mm wired earphones and use the same adapter.
It doesn’t have to break the bank, I use the Abigail Pro sold by Venture Electronics (Veclan). It’s capable of 32bin 384khz resolution, can drive 32ohm headphones and only costs $14.

It should be noted that none of these “specs” mean anything for audio quality. If anything, these would lower audio quality slightly.
3.5mm + adapter is prob the better route.
I’d suggest Moondrop Chu 2 and an Apple USB C dongle (best value product apple makes)
Google has their own.
With no budget or indication of quality or usage, it’s hard to recommend the right solution.
Can always use the Shure usb c connector with most OEM’s.
Honestly I quite liked googles earbuds, though mine are now starting to wear out (cable continuity) but they sound pretty decent to me
