I was really hoping the new Microsoft Surface Headphones 2 would have USB-C audio, but it's not mentioned on their website or in reviews online. I found a haphazard jumble of options, none of which seemed terribly exciting or price-efficient. Naturally, I went searching around the web for USB-C audio solutions because 3.5 mm jacks have been more or less phased out of mainstream electronics. (Sidenote: I was the theatre tech sound engineer in high school, so I get excited about audio way too easily). I saw the little note in the specs sheet for the Asus ROG STRIX B550-E that it'll have a USB-C audio port. Separately, my on-ear headphones broke recently, so I'm poking around for a new headset. I've been closely following b550 motherboard news because I'm dying to build a smaller PC (hopefully in the NZXT H1) for college. Overall question if you don't want to read: Will this revive the USB-C audio market? Because I would love that.

They all redirect to the B550-E (ATX) version right now, hopefully the individual pages will be up later. Here's the link for Asus' B550 motherboard page.
