I have a Samsung Galaxy a52s, and it has both a 3.5mm headphone jack, and also a USB-C port for charging that you can use for audio transmission. My wired headphones, AKG K371, ATH-M50X and others, I can use straight through the jack or with a USBC/3.5mm dongle adapter. I have the apple adapter and it's not good for volume, too low, but I got another one that came with my earbuds Qian 39 and those have very good volume. Wondering which option is technically the best for sound quality streaming (Qobuz now). I'm testing a to b and it seems to me the USB C might be a bit better, but might be in my mind. Any ideas?

The best is that sounds best to you.
Why do you want others to tell you what you like?

It really depends on the dac being used but none of the headphones you named are hard to drive. The 3.5mn jack is much more durable though so I'd use that the majority of the time. USB ports are a very common point of failure.
