I have heard great things about the apple earphones and would like to know if someone has anny long-term experience with them.

Do they hold up well overtime? (Since the cable look fragile to me)

Android compatibility?

Sound quality? (On Android)

Do they stay in the ear?

If it's not great what are alternatives ?

I'm using a pixel 5 and hate having to charge my earphones and apple seems to make the only reasonably priced product.

I was thinking about purchasing one, so pls kindly share your thoughts about the product. And I know it's crazy that I'm asking this question in this "IEM community" but I'm just curious to know what y'all think about it.

I picked up a pair of $19 USB-C Earpods from the Apple Store, and when I added some silicone wingtips to them I could not believe how much of an improvement in sound quality there was. I have always been of the opinion that Apple's Earpods have surprisingly decent audio quality provided you were willing to hold them in your ears. Adding a silicone wingtip made a world of difference to the audio quality of my Apple Music and allowed my hands to be used for important endeavors like high-fives and fist bumps. :)

Priorities in order:

• Wired USB-C Connectivity

• In ear headphones/earbuds

• Durable - would love to get a minimum of 3 years of moderate use out of them.

• Microphone

• (Flexible, but ideally) $45 or less

They don't have to be the most incredible audio quality ever created, I'm just tired of having to constantly replace my headphones.

I primarily use my headphones for videos or music while in public, or for work meetings. I'd use them probably 3-4 times a week. I've mostly tried cheap options off Amazon, hence them breaking constantly.

I really have two questions, the first is does using a USB-C Jack adapter have an affect in the audio quality in comparison to just wired USB-C earbuds? (i don’t see why it would but just want to know 🤷‍♂️ )

Second, does the USB-C Jack adapter work with the 16P? (again, don’t see why it would but wanted to make sure)

Ordered both the 16P and Earbuds just now and probably should have asked this beforehand but didn’t (🤦‍♂️)

Thanks in advance!

Hey all. I bought some USB-C headphones for a ski trip I was going on, since I would much rather have a wired headset rather than wireless earbuds for playing music on the slopes.

To avoid doing the dongle thing, I decided to get a USB-C headset, and opted for Apple's they sell, over some of the other "AKG" headsets.

Has anyone experienced low relative volume using these? I'm wondering if I should have just gotten an external DAC, or a dongle to a 3.5 to avoid this trouble. Alternatively, are there better USB-C headsets I should consider? I like wired over wireless, as it's easier to deal with. Thanks.

I bought the 3.5mm version just to be stumped by Apple's its own jack standarts which don't work with the usual one(even with splitter), so I thought can I buy the type-c version and plug it with a usb to type-c adapter? Would the mic and both stereo work?

Since everything turns USB-C, I wanted wired headphones for all those devices.

So I bought EarPods with USB-C and plugged them into my Switch.

They don’t put out audio :/ . Funny enough I can press volume up and down on the small remote on the EarPods and this input is shown on the switch.

Is there anything I can do to make it fully work?

Does anyone know if the new usb-c EarPods work and are compatible with the S22?

I’m looking for good quality wired earphones with microphone. I know Bluetooth is the way to go but these are for my aged parents and I know they will never be able to figure out how to troubleshoot Bluetooth connectivity issues on their own.

Hi! I’ve recently been gifted a pair of earbuds that end in a USB-C dongle (Linsoul Salnotes Zero) and I’m wondering what the easiest/best way to use them with my iPhone is. I’m finding that female USB-C to male lightning converters seem to be somewhat hard to come by and have very mixed reviews - any recommendations? The one from Agvee on Amazon claims to work on digital but not analog headphones - how do I know if my headphones are digital or analog? Sorry for the multiple questions; this is the first pair of headphones I’ve owned that aren’t the plastic Apple ones and the sound quality is SO much better.

Tryna buy some good pair of earphones

I have an iPhone 15. I have wireless headphones that I use for everything except talking on the phone while on transit/doing chores whatever and that’s why microphone quality is most important. i spend about an hour a day doing this on average. i bought or if it was included (i don’t remember) the iphone headphones but they gave up on me this week and they were fine not great. i want better. budget is top 100$ if it lasts me a while. it has to be usb-c, adapter is not an option.

thank you!

Hope this is an appropriate question for this sub...

As per the title... I'm looking for a pair of wired usb-c headphones, but without silicon buds (I really don't seem to get on with any silicon bud type things) - ideally something similar in design + price to Sennheiser MX 375 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0076Z7668) - I've had these a couple of times, but now have a phone without a 3.5mm socket...

Any suggestions welcomed!

I am really confused, thanks for the help.
