I wanted to try connecting wired headphones to my smartphone's Type-C port, so I put together an entry-level setup with earphones and a dongle DAC. In the end, I concluded that the convenience of wireless earphones is superior. I've used it for about a month, with approximately 10-20 hours of actual use. Earphones: * The included eartips (only three pairs) and replacement nozzles are unused. * I found the cable to be prone to tangling. DAC: * Color: Silver. * Some reviews mention the presence of white noise, but I didn't notice any on my Android smartphone. It might depend on the smartphone's compatibility.
