Has anyone come across any USB c headphones or IEMs that haven't already been reviewed (not that great from what I can find- Q adapt, AliExpress stuff). Maybe even a USB C dac/amp. I feel like there's a lot of potential with USB C for audio but it's taking a long time to get to market?
Wondering if it's worth $99 to pick up Shure's new mmcx to USB c cable. I could use at least 3 of my current IEMs that way, without going wireless.

mayorblurpsI read a couple of reviews that said the Westone bluetooth cable was better and sturdier, so you may want to check for those reviews. Also, FiiO has a new bluetooth cable that (I am guessing) will be more reasonably-priced.

ScottomonI picked up MEE's new BT to mmcx cable for when I want to go wireless w IEMs...and its worth it!
But as far as I can tell the Shure cable released this year is the only 1 that terminates in USB C. And it has amp/DAC built in, as well as microphone. http://www.shure.com/americas/products/accessories/earphones/earphone-headphone-cables/usb-c-earphone-communication-cable-rmce-usb

mayorblurpsYou sound farther down the road that I am in this hobby. I agree wired is better. Shure route might be best now... Was that apple yelling, "cannonball"? Finally hearing good things about LDAC and BT4.2 though... A usb-c seems intriguing for sound delivery but so does 4.4mm, depends on ones place in the hobby... The Cayin N3, of which mine has just arrived, is well reviewed, has multifaceted usb-c and bluetooth 4.0 with 130mW SE and looks very gym-friendly. 'Should butt-up (ha-ha) with your Shure...
