OnePlus has been one of the few phone companies sticking with analog 3.5mm headphone jacks rather than joining the crowd switching to USB-C-based digital audio. But today, the company announced its first USB-C headphones, the Type-C Bullets, which are perfectly priced for bundling at $20, presaging its move away from the legacy jack in its imminent upcoming phone.

The company confirmed the move in an interview with TechRadar, in which OnePlus cofounder Carl Pei implied that now's the right time to (as TechRadar puts it) "sack the jack." OnePlus' research shows that most of its users have gone wireless, anyway, with only 41 percent still using wired -- almost half that of the previous year.
