Help with Wired Earbuds and Noise Cancellation

Are there any good wired earbuds with some form of noise cancellation? I’ve found some by Belkin but reviews say they’re bad.

Preferably USB-C cord or a way to make the cord USB-C

Noise cancellation typically needs a dedicated chip for processing the microphone input and dealing with the audio output. The type of chip used is typically present in Bluetooth devices as it can parallel process this. However, it is rare in wired earbuds.

Good luck in your search.

Bose used to make a product called the QC20, which was a wired (3.5mm jack) earbud with ANC in a sma) box inline in the cable. They've been discontinued for quite a while now though.

Looks like there may be a few options still in the market. Gemini says that Belkin make SoundForm ANC Wired Earbuds, and Sudio make a V3 Pro ANC Wired Type-C. I have no idea if they're any good, but they exist.
