Should I buy a Google USB C to 3.5 mm or are there better alternatives?

If there are better ones, why are they better?

Thanks!

I'm using Huawei USB-C headphones (the ones provided with their phones). I got them from Amazon for £20. Sound is alright (I'm not too picky when it's about music quality tho) and I'm not bothered with adapters and whatnot.

Just a note. I ordered 2 Google adapters in mid July, checked the order status a few days later, and back then the expected delivery date was in October. I think like the 2nd week. So I cancelled that and bought these for $19.90 for two from Amazon.

They work fine and they're better because they actually arrived shortly after I ordered. Since Google charges shipping on small orders, it was going to cost $23 something for two and I'd still be maybe 6 weeks away from getting them.

My fear is Google is not really keeping them in stock because they're putting either a regular 3.5mm headset jack on the Pixel 3, or there will be a DAC so that the cable doesn't need to have it.

How is the sound quality and which headphones are you using with these?

I'm not an audiophile, but music sound quality is good. They seen a touch better than the OEM Google adapter with earbuds. And I mean stock Samsung and some $30ish sweets I have. I tried then with my Corwin E7 which is I think $60 on Amazon. So not the cheapest tier, but also not a few hundred dollars either. With those, I don't think I could tell the difference between the oem and the adapter I got on Amazon.

Google just launched their own type C earbuds. They are on the Google store for $30.
