Totally wireless earbuds (TWS) are very cool and convenient to use but they still have their share of headaches. They can run out of charge, fall out of ears and get stepped on or lost, and of course, managing them through all those taps and touches can be a task. Which is why so many of us still go back to our trusty wired earbuds for our routine tasks like calling and casual listening. But even that has become more difficult with 3.5 mm audio jacks on their way out from phones. While USB Type-C earbuds do exist, the budget ones generally come with hefty price tags or fiddly controls, so one either has to shell out a fair amount to get a good pair or try to manage with Type-C to 3.5mm jack dongles that tend to get lost easily. Fortunately, there are earbuds like the JBL Tune 310C around, which deliver very good performance at a surprisingly affordable price.
If you're seeking quality USB Type-C earphones under ₹1,000, here are some top recommendations to consider:
