Looking for new headphones (3.5mm jack, USB-C, or wireless?) + Comfort with glasses

I'm thinking about buying a new pair of headphones or earbuds. I want to listen to FLAC music, and based on my research, standard Bluetooth isn't capable of delivering true lossless FLAC audio, so I'll need (or so I think) a direct wired connection. High-quality audio/FLAC support is a primary requirement for me, as I want to discover by my own hand if really there's a difference between regular and high-quality music.

On one hand, I usually listen to music from my phone. I don't really mind using a wired connection since I've used wired headphones for most of my life, though wireless is admittedly still more convenient.

On the other hand, I'm also considering buying a MP3 for my FLAC collection in the future.

Because of this, if I buy new headphones, I'm not sure whether I should look for a traditional 3.5mm jack or a USB-C connection.

Also, for the last 2 years, I've been using headphones with ear hooks. Since I wear glasses every day, the hooks have become uncomfortable because they collide with my glasses' temples. So, another essential requirement for me is avoiding ear hooks or any design that interferes with glasses.

Here is a link (Amazon) with the mentioned headphones with hooks: Previous Headphones

Lastly, what does the future look like for audio connections? Is USB-C going to be used widely for wired headphones/earbuds?

Durable Wired Earphones

Hey everyone, please suggest me wired earphones (preferably type C) in different price ranges. My budget hasn't been fixed yet.

I'm looking for durable earphones for watching movies and listening music.

Under 1000, Under 1500 and Under 2000. Indian Rupees.

Thank you!
