About this deal

To access and use all Apple Card features and products available only to Apple Card users, you must add Apple Card to Wallet on an iPhone or iPad that supports and has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Apple Card is subject to credit approval, available only for qualifying applicants in the United States, and issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch. The USB-C connector is now becoming widespread, which makes the cables you need to take with you that bit simpler. Please note though, that Apple iPhone and iPad devices still use the company's dedicated Lightning connector even though its laptops are moving to USB-C. Some USB-C headphone adapters can be used for calls and listening to music, while others don't support calls. You'll also find many adapters that also allow charging or fast charging while you listen. Some adapters have a lightning cable port, while others — like hubs — have multiple ports. Look for adapters with advanced digital audio converter (DAC) chips if you're concerned about audio quality. These support high-resolution sound quality, so everything sounds the same as if you plugged your headphones directly into your device. Other features to look for include noise reduction to enhance sound quality, gold-plated connectors for a better connection, and braided cables, which are more durable than regular cables. These headphones have a bass-heavy sound profile out of the box. The extra thump, punch, and boom can help make mixes with a prominent bassline feel more lively, but it also slightly muddies vocals and instruments in your mix. While it's not the most robust equalizer out there, the Bowers & Wilkins Music app offers bass and treble sliders to give you some control over their sound. Unfortunately, you'll only be able to receive audio via wired USB as this connection doesn't support mic input. Out of the box, these headphones have an excited, V-shaped sound profile that delivers extra bright treble and thumpy bass. While this makes them well-suited for genres like pop and hip-hop, the mix ends up sounding a bit muddy and piercing. Fortunately, their companion app lets you change their sound to your preferences via a graphic EQ and presets. They're a good choice if you're looking for more wallet-friendly USB-C headphones.

If sound quality is your thing, the Focal Bathys Wireless are the best-sounding USB-C headphones we've tested. These Bluetooth headphones are designed for audiophiles on the go and have several connection options, including a USB-C to USB-C cable for newer devices. While they have perceptible latency via wired USB since they're performing analog-to-digital conversion, it's not that much of an issue if you're only listening to audio. Anyway, it's here now and is used on laptops, mobile phones, headphones, cameras, tablets and more. Data and energy are both bi-directional, so you can charge your phone from your laptop or play a movie from your laptop on your TV, say. They have French-made aluminum-magnesium dynamic drivers, which deliver a rich sound profile with a well-balanced bass range, and it's only improved when you use them wired via their 'DAC' mode. You can fine-tune their sound using their companion app if you want a different sound. However, this high-quality design makes them significantly more expensive than the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 Wireless. They're also bulky and have a high weight and clamping force that can cause fatigue after long listening periods, especially if you wear glasses. There's another piece of jargon for your lexicon, Thunderbolt 3. This is essentially a series of capabilities and features such as guaranteed fast speeds, that work with Thunderbolt 3-enabled USB-C ports. So, as well as some decent cables with various connection options, this roundup includes adaptors to make your cables more versatile.

Fortunately, they have good noise cancellation performance. While they can't eliminate all the noise from a rumbly bus engine, they'll keep you isolated from nearby chit-chat and whiny AC units. They also last nearly 30 hours on a single charge, meaning they'll get you through a few long work days without recharging if you use them wirelessly.
