Baseus C17 USB-C wired earphones: take the call even when wireless buds are flat

Wireless earbuds tend to run flat exactly when you are rushing for a train, joining a meeting or taking an important call. The Baseus C17 is a simple answer: plug in via USB-C and listen or speak without pairing or charging.

• The product title identifies USB-C in-ear wired earphones with a microphone, light enough to keep in a phone, tablet or laptop bag.
• Best for train commuters, video calls in shared workspaces and children who need a no-charging backup.
• The listed price is EUR 8.59 versus EUR 17.14; confirm that your USB-C port supports audio and whether you need inline controls.

Hokimi field note: It does not replace your favourite headphones. It keeps a flat battery from derailing your day.
