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 32bit 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.
It would lower audio quality if you were upsampling all your 44.1khz and 48khz files to 384khz for the sake of feeding to the DAC, but luckily USB Audio Player Pro, and PowerAmp on Android both automatically set the DAC sampling rate to match the native audio file bitrate, so no resampling needed.
I'm not even talking about upsampling as that'd be 100% dependant on your source files. I'm talking about effects of ultrasonic sounds on typical audio equipment. Read the section "192kHz considered harmful" of https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html. Actually, read the entire thing. It's a very interesting and educating read.
That's all besides the point though because the actual point is that high bit depth and frequency do not improve audio quality in any way and therefore useless specs when your goal is audio quality.
What's up fellow Flubs!
