USB C Headphone
Score: 77/100Rankings
The AFGHOA USB-C earbuds deliver magnetic convenience, a built-in DAC and clear, punchy sound, but lack active ANC and have some compatibility quirks.
The YINYOO Easy KZ ZST is a budget-friendly hybrid IEM that combines a balanced armature and a dynamic driver for lively, detailed sound. Its ergonomic memory-wire design, multiple silicone tip sizes, and detachable cable provide comfort and versatility, while the lack of wireless features and occasional bass distortion keep it in the entry-level segment.
