r/AppleMusic on Reddit: USB-C Apple Earpods just upped their game
September 29, 2023 -

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. :)

r/BuyItForLife on Reddit: Recommendations for Wired Earbuds with USB-C Connectivity?
September 17, 2025 -

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.

r/iphone on Reddit: Wired Earbuds : USB-C or Jack Adapter?
August 14, 2024 -

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!

r/GalaxyS21 on Reddit: Using Apple's USB-C wired headphones - low volume?
August 15, 2023 -

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.

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.
