Deal | Sony's power-saving USB-C earbuds at their near historic low

The Sony IER-EX15C wired USB-C earphones have dropped to their near-historical low on Amazon following a substantial 50% discount off the MSRP of $29.99. They are available in black, white, and pink at this price.

The IER-EX15C eliminates the worry of running out of power in the middle of multiplayer gaming or music listening, with a sustainable battery-free design to help reduce their environmental impact.

Lithium-ion batteries require mining of lithium metal, which destroys the landscape and uses much of the fresh water supply around mines. The disposal of spent batteries is problematic due to the lack of available technologies and capacity to recycle them, causing further environmental damage due to leaking spent cells in landfills. The IER-EX15C helps save the earth by eliminating toxic lithium-ion batteries.

The Sony earphones also eliminate audio latency inherent to wireless earphones for quicker FPS response, and its in-line remote has a microphone to support in-game chats. The USB-C connector is compatible with laptops, tablets, and phones. It also supports USB Audio Class 1.0 devices, including popular game consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Nonetheless, the IER-EX15C does not support wireless connections, so the cable can get in the way. Thankfully, a cable slider is included to adjust the length to help reduce tangles. It also uses small 5 mm dynamic drivers, so one cannot expect it to reproduce audio with the same high-fidelity quality as better headphones, such as the Audeze LCD-GX gaming headset (sold here on Amazon for $899) with 100 mm planar drivers. Still, the Sony earphones are very portable for easy carry with handheld gaming consoles.

Buy the Sony IER-EX15C USB-C earbuds on Amazon today.
