Sennheiser Just Fixed Your Missing Headphone Jack Problem with Two New Releases
Let’s be honest for a moment: ever since smartphone manufacturers decided to kill the headphone jack, listening to music has become a bit of a hassle. You are usually stuck choosing between two annoying options: either charging Bluetooth earbuds every night or carrying around flimsy dongles that always get lost. However, the German audio experts at Sennheiser have just revealed a solution that is incredibly simple. According to the official press release on the Sennheiser Newsroom, the company is launching the new CX 80U and HD 400U, two pairs of Sennheiser USB-C headphones designed entirely around “Signature Sound and Simplicity.”
The big selling point here is that both models use a native USB-C connector. This means the days of struggling with adapters or waiting for Bluetooth to pair are over. You simply plug the cable directly into your Android phone, your new iPhone 15 or 16, your laptop, or even your iPad, and it works instantly. Because they draw power right from your device, you never have to worry about batteries dying. As detailed in the official source, Sennheiser has built a high-quality DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) directly into the plug, ensuring you get high-resolution, 24-bit audiophile sound with absolutely zero lag—perfect for gaming or movies.
Sennheiser is offering this new tech in two distinct flavors to fit your lifestyle. If you prefer something ultra-portable, the CX 80U is a lightweight in-ear model priced at just $39.95. It is clean, minimal, and perfect for tossing in your pocket for a daily commute. On the other hand, if you want full immersion, the HD 400U is an over-ear model priced at $99.95. It features deep, dynamic bass and soft ear pads that help block out the noisy world around you, making it ideal for studying or working in busy coffee shops.
In a world that is obsessed with making everything wireless and complicated, it is genuinely refreshing to see a company launch a product that just works. Both the CX 80U and HD 400U also feature a high-quality built-in microphone and a 3-button remote on the cable, ensuring your voice sounds crystal clear on calls. These headphones are available now, and if you have been missing the simplicity of wired audio, checking out the official Sennheiser announcement might just convince you to make the switch back to wired sound this year.
