I bought Huawei CM33 Earbuds Handsfree USB-C white, but the phone didn't recognise the hands free earbuds. I'm looking for a good compatible hands free set with loud bass and clear sound. Any suggestions?

These are Bluetooth headset I think. I prefer wired ones
Samsung GH59-15198A, as provided with Note 10+ (and S20 series). I still use it with S23U. It can still be purchased online.
Galaxy Buds 2 (SM-R177NZKAXAC) working great.
I just use the google usb c headphone adapter
You need a USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter that HAS A DAC. The reason why your Huawei headphones didn't work is because Huawei phones have the DAC built in.
I have both the S23ULTRA and an old Mate20Pro, plus a Huawei adapter (not working) and headphones (also not working).
Bought a 32 bit/192kHz DAC from AliExpress (overkill for my ears) and it sounds excellent.
I use a wired Sony MDR-EX650AP (stereo + mic) in-ear headphones with an iNassen USB-C to 3.5mm jack audio adapter, the latter bought initially for my e-book reader so I can still use wired headphones connected to its USB-C port.
I doubt this adapter has any DAC apart from what it is required for filtering noise and converting signal itself, however for months on this phone it's been working fine. Even at lowest levels sound is sufficiently loud, clear and the adapter is very thin and not bulky so feels like an extension to the 3.5mm cable. Of course, especially since the phone is frequently in my pockets, in moments the USB-C cable can "get disconnected" software-wise (physically it always stays connected) when moving or when the phone hits different parts of the belt or the pockets - S23U is massive, but this has nothing to do with the quality of both the adapter and the headphones. I bought the adapter on Amazon some years ago, although you may try something similar of another brand - just watch for highest possible bit/kHz ratio on specs and it should work straight away - the S23 Ultra is powerful enough to run (without DAC) any non-professional low-impedance headphones connected. Not certain about audio and mic though since the mic on the above Sony's stopped working for me after having this out in a rain last year. But it could, I see no reason why not.

You may doubt your usb c adapter has a DAC, but the S23U does NOT provide analogue music output to the USB C port. Without a DAC in the chain (in adapter, in headset, separate DAC) no audible music.

Hello,
When I bought my samsung wave, I got those standard earphones with the phone. They work great, good quality, but now I have a problem.
On my wave, it works perfect. When I put the earphones to my pc, the singing volume is low and instrumental very high (cant hear singing). Same goes for the television and the S2.
What can be wrong? I mean, it works perfect on 1 device and on every other device I almost can't hear the singing, but only instruments.
Is this fixable?
ps: the earphones are clean, it is a 4 conductor 3.5mm jack pin.
It's not actually a true 3.5mm phono jack, it also has a mic connection so even though it will fit in standard headphone sockets, the connections are wrong.
They are only intended to be used with your phone.

So I should buy new headphones?
I would like to get these: CM Storm Pitch
this is also 4 conductor, but got a spitter too (to spit audio and mic)
Not sure if this wil work without spitter.
I can't understand the site but as long as they say they are android compatible and the headphones can be used without the microphone section, they should be fine.
I have some which split at the microphone from my nokia n8 and even though the connector looks identical to my samsung headphones, they simply do not work.
Some of you may agree but some may disagree. The audio output of the 3.5mm headphone jack is far to quiet.
A cheap and easy solution to this is I bought the USB-C to 3.5mm DAC from HTC. Join the HTC club and it was £5.95 with free next day delivery.
Much louder and very good quality. Can't find any specification on what BIT the DAC is and I don't have the tools to measure it but its far better than the build in 3.5mm jack.

I've got tinnitus in my right ear from constantly having a headphone in it for a number of years. I used to always listen on the loudest volume. With the xperia xz you can have active noise cancelling headphones, I can warmly recommend the nc31em in ear, I bought a pair for 15 bucks and it uses the processor of the phone so you don't have to carry a big dongle. Now I can listen at half volume and still hear everything better than I did before!
I received a Griffin iTrip Clip Bluetooth headphone adapter so I could be wire free from my phone and found this improved the loudness and remained good quality audio. You may get a bit of breakage occasionally if multitasking but for £14 from Amazon, it's a cracking piece of kit!
Fantastic solution
I have followed the steps of signing up for HTC Club, and ordering the adapter straight away. It really came next day with no extra charge for delivery. And oh boy, the sound is amazing! I am bit of geek when it comes to headphones, so i have a multiple different types. The difference between using the audio jack output of the phone and using the usb c adapter is NIGHT and DAY. Not only loudness is incomparable higher, the pure quality of the sound is improved in every way. I do not believe that there is DAC hidden in the adapter, as it is quite small and low priced. What makes difference in my opinion is the additional power phone can send to the headphones by using the USB C out. Difference is so big, that this workaround can be seen as hidden features to extent, as Sony has not said a thing about using your USB C out for audio. Now I truly understand why the removal of headphone jack make sense as even phones with not the best DAC and AMP can produce great sound thanks to power of USB C.
In case of Sony Xperia XZ however, it looks as DAC is of a top- notch quality(it officially supports Hi-Res codecs after all) but the AMP is criminally under-powered and so combined with Sony obeying EU regulations for safe listening volume converts to quality sound but on quiet side. But thanks to this adapter the DAC is no longer tied to volume level set by headphone jack.
Everyone who owns this phone must buy this, especially considering the low price of the adapter. You need hear it to believe it.

I was on another trip recently and one scheduled for next week. Indeed the sound out of the headphone jack is extremely low so I ordered one of these gadgets and will arrive on Friday. The success from others is what I expect to gain and will report back

Just asking is they a way of updating the dongle without having a htc device I've installed the audio usb jack toolkit from htc but nothing seems to happen
Thanks
Thank you so much for this. The low earphone volume was driving me mad. So after reading this, I bought the same thing from HTC and it works fantastically and sounds amazing now.

Yes works fine with Oreo.
Two kinds of USBC to 3.5mm Adapters, beware.
Just so folks know, there are two types of USB-C 3.5mm adapters out there - Digital and Analog.
All decent phones should support the Digital adapters, since they are just USB Audio Class devices made small. You could also plug them into a PC. Because they contain the DAC and amplifier, they will be spendy.
However, the $2 Passive adapters have no DAC in them. They trigger a special mode of the phone that basically puts the USB-C jack into an analog 3.5mm mode and the rest is just plastic and metal. The DAC is in the phone. The phone has to specifically support this mode, and will likely indicate USB-C Analog Accessory Mode in their specifications. Xperia XZ Premium does NOT support this mode, and never will - it has to be built into the hardware.
Just sayin.

Because people are trying different USB Audio headphones. Sony is not in control of their quality or amplification since the DAC and amp are in the headphones. For those using different 3.5mm headsets, their quality varies greatly. Sony expects folks to buy theirs, preferably with their active noise canceling that they wrote software for. It works well but as stated, they are not very loud.

ok so I have an audio system in my car, and volume in headphones gets super low compared to CD (I know CD quality is the best you can get i think) but still its VERY very low compared to it, in aux on 13db I get same loudness as 7db in CD, which means I have to turn it on almost twice as much as a cd to hear same loudness, (why dont I simply turn my audio more than usual on a cd?) because I like listening to very loud music and I some times get to 23db on a cd and its very loud and on aux i must reach at least 40db to get close to being as loud but my audio system only supports up to 30db so I am getting aux loudness of 15-16db compared to CD.
will the usb 3.0 to AUX DAC help me get louder volume?
So I plugged in the headphones that come with the note 10+, I got an update Firmware for the headphones.
I thought it was pretty awesome they're not simple plug and play USB C units.
Hopefully there's more features added (video camera dual mic recording, etc) to justify their decision to forego the headphone jack.
So...the bundled AKG N700NCM2 wireless headphones...Can't hold a candle to my 2.5 year-old Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0, both in battery life and sound quality. For a capable phone like the Note 10+ I would have expected something that supports BT 5.0 with Aptx or Aptx HD, not the rubbish codecs with these AKG pairs.
A good comparison will be the Bose and Sony sound cancelling headphones. As that's the market they are aimed at.
I have read somewhere that included USB-C earbuds have or might have active noise canceling feature during calls. True, any one tried it?

So... The bundled headphones are wired, carry a more pure sound stream than wireless, and come with the phone. I think you're confused, and if you want to talk quality, wireless units won't be as good as wired as they're always dropping packets, or data.
So i got brand new S21 ten days ago, Exynos model, and i right away got type-c to 3.5mm adapter for my headphones (not original Samsung), i immediately noticed white noise when playing any media in any app.
Now i just bought AKG oem Samsung headphones with type-c connector thinking this will solve the problem and the noise is even worse, 10x stronger.. these headphones are unusable. EDIT: tried on A71, works fine.
Anyone else having the same problem?
What's strange is that when for example in YT video is complete silence noise disappears, but when there's sound noise appears.. noise is switching off and on in silent and loud scenes.
On my Xiaomi BT Earphones sound is perfect, so it has to be due to audio port on the phone.
I have only used true wireless Earbuds so I can't offer experience with the type C port. All I can say is that all of my Bluetooth audio is free of hiss.

Hi All,
I'm setting up my brand new Pixel 6 that showed up on Christmas Eve. Thank you FedEx guy!
I knew it didn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack, but I didn't deal with this ahead of time.
I have low frequency hearing loss, so I need clear (not necessarily loud) bass. My wired Bose amplified ear buds are great, but of course they don't plug into my new Pixel 6. Can anyone recommend a bluetooth or USB-C solution that has clear bass?
Thank you,
Dan
If you go with bt you want a headset that uses the LDAC codec. Sony and Panasonic make LDAC ear phones, and Sony sells LDAC buds too I believe.
You can get an 3 5mm adapter to use the C port for wired if that phone supports audio output.
Most times it's in the digital realm so you need an adapter with a built in DAC.
It's awkward using the C port like this though and puts more wear and tear on it.
Merry Christmas
