What's the point of balanced cable if the connectors are 3.5 mm (aka not balanced)?

Now, I have an unusual question.

If a headphone has a USB-C connector on the headphone end, can the cable be balanced?

My limited-knowledged self would assume the answer is no — but then, I have no technical understanding of a USB-C connector, especially when it comes to audio use.

Would it make a difference if there were two USB-C connectors (one on each ear-cup) — that is, if it’s even possible to use two USB-C connectors.

USB-C 3.1 is in question.
