I think I might get some headphones like this for the office. My work laptop only has USB-C ports and this shitty Jabra headset I have is only USB A, it doesn't even have the option to just use the 3.5mm jack.
Dual bluetooth audio, and audio over USB so I can use it plugged in, because the laptop may have a headphone jack, but the hub I connect it t at my desk does not:

If you can use it plugged in AND bluetooth...get them. I got a pair of Sony ones that don't the plugged audio. Bit of a shame, as they're comfy as.
These explicitly state they do audio over USB. I have some older Sony headphones and all they're missing is multi device and audio over USB. USB C headphones are unfortunately such a mess and just because a pair can do it doesn't mean it will work with your devices
I plan to get Soundcore Q45 which go on sale for A$150.
I have been using the A$80 Soundcore A40's, with A$30 Soundcore A20i's as a backup.
The soundcores look good but I'm looking to spend a little less for office headphones. I'd be open to some quality soundcores when my Sony's die for similar quality at a fraction of the price
