I recently bought the Xperia 1. I know it does not have a 3.5mm jack, but USB headphones should work fine, right? My USB headphones does not connect at all.

I am using some cheap USB-C headphones (Ecoker) and they work fine.

The Xperia 1 does have support for USB Audio Class 2.0 und USB Host Mode, so USB-C headphones should work. The latest B&W PX7 headphones sound amazing via the Xperia 1 and they support High-Res Audio.

Strange. Maybe I should try another cable and see if it works.

Are you using the cable that came with your Xperia 1? I am using that cable to try and connect my Bowers and Wilkins PX, but the only thing that achieved was that my phone started charging the headphones......

I bought a new cable with USB 3.1 Gen 1. That does not work as well. It works fine with other devices like my laptop, but not with the Xperia 1.
