Why do they need to sound better? Also, in a lot of instances, they do sound better because they can offer powered functionality such as ANC. Can’t get that with a truly analog headphone. I’d never use analog headphones on a plane, for instance.

I can’t think of an instance where analog headphones would sound better than USB C headphones using the same hardware.
