most bluetooth dacs usually can still make phone calls as they would have built-in mic on them
I do not want to use Bluetooth at all. And also not additional device. Is there no earbud with C Type Connector? Or how about buying cable and try to upgrade myself? I have never done that but can try that. Or if someone can do, I can pay too.

The 2 other radio transmitters in your phone are outputting much high power. Bluetooth is the least of your worries.
I doubt that. There are many radiations and frequencies which may be harmful but in case of Bluetooth, you insert it directly into your ear canal which is most harmful. That's why they say keep the phones away especially when you are sleeping as the radiation will harm you in long run. But now people started using even worst way to consume those harmful radiations. How can people be so fool, I am wondering?

if that's the case, I'm afraid the options would be limited to this model of earbuds (as far as i know)

if you want to use your wired earbuds, you can use the usb c dacs, but i don't think it allows phone calls from the earbuds..

custom build phones is a more complex and expensive idea, if that's possible at all..
That's sad. They are not earbuds. In fact they are even more uncomfortable than in ear ones. I remember using Apple Earbud with 3.5mm Jack cpl of years ago, I could hardly use it for 30-34 min and after that, my ears were in great pain for next many hours.

So there is no Earbud like TP16 or Monk+ or EM3 which has C Type cable? Why no one is thinking towards that? Are there C Type cable available that I can upgrade my earbuds? Or if someone can do it and I can pay?

i dont think you should care about this mate, you probably consume stuff that will harm you way more in the long term like processed foods, radiation is basically part of our day to day now
I don't think so. IN the Form of Bluetooth, you are being exposed to harmful radiations directly and ultra close distance. Also, even if there is no harm and they have BT Flat Ear earphones, I will not be comfortable in using that. I will always be worried that they will come out any time and lost. 2nd, if they are not charged, then it will be another big issue. One of my friends lost Apple Earbod with Charges case twice. He paid around $200+ for them each and now going to buy another as no other option.

I already posted a few links for earbuds with type -c cable last time. It's not hard to find this.
Chitty's Store has it and you can ask to build another model

If that is not enough for you then buy one of these, cut connectors, and build your own model

Toneking tp16

opened up the tp16 just now. Haven't given them a listen quite yet but I'm already impressed with the value you get at $13. Cable has low memory retention. A welcome nod to quality compared to the cable on the Monk Lite 120ohm. That cable retain all the kinks from packaging for a long time. It will take a while to straighten out. Annoying. I also love that Toneking provides 12 foams, nice touch.
TP16 is one my favourites. They have very good sound. I am yet to find anything better than that within this range or below $20.

Fiil CC2 has a very beautiful minimalistic design. They remind me a little of Edifier H190. I like the app but I think there is only a Chinese version :slight_frown:
Not taking into account the quality of the mic, which is far away from decent, I think that TWS earbuds have really improved, in terms of sound quality,
over the last two years, especially budget models. In many models. We can see more and more advanced drivers such as Ti, Graphene, DLC,
also many of these have their own apps with great features for additional tuning which is very important IMO.

How is H190? And also P190? I had H180 but lost them. They were Ok. Cable was long and tangled frequently.

I don't have H190, I was just comparing the design. Probably not so much difference between H180 and H190 in terms of SQ. Only $2 difference in price.
I will probably pick H190 because of the look and change the cable immediately But that's me :wink:
