Has anyone found a good set of wired USB-C Earbuds?
Has anyone found a good set of wired USB-C Earbuds?
I just ordered a set from Apple and I can’t get these to stay in my ear.
I got two pairs from logitech, but the max volume on those was far too quiet.
I got a dongle from Google to use some old AKG earbuds I had, and the inline controls rarely work.
Hoping to find something that has good quality audio, inline controls, decent volume, and eartips that stay in (and/or can be swapped). Preferably somewhere at or below the $20USD mark.
Thank you for any recommendations.
I don't use any myself, but these might be helpful:
Thank you very much for this post. I realize you gave me the right answer to the wrong question, because of my poor wording. My mistake. I have updated my original post. I should have specified I am looking for "earbuds" rather than "headphones".
regardless: these articles are helpful. Thank you!
Inline controls should work fine with a dongle, I'm guessing your AKG's or dongle are defective
I have two phones. One has a headphone jack and isn't compatible with my carrier. The inline controls work fine on that phone. If I plug in the USBC dongle I got from google, the controls will pause, but won't play again if the screen goes to sleep. Same for the USB-C Dongles I've gotten from Logitech.
My primary phone has no headphone jack. the configs I've tried above all yield the same results.
2 phones, multiple earbud sets, and 3 different USB-C dongles. Same behavior across stock android, LineageOS, and GrapheneOS.
When I tried the earbuds from Apple, the controls work great. but they keep slipping out of my ear.
That's why I'm looking for earbuds that terminate into a USB-C jack.
Do you use a USB-C to 3.55mm adapter? If so, what phone and set of earbuds have you had success with?

I have found what I believe works for my needs and wanted to share.

An additional item that aided me in my search was learning the vocabulary. When I searched for "earbuds", i kept finding the wrong items. When I searches for "In Ear Monitors" or "IEMs", suddenly i found appropriate results.
Good luck to everyone out there!
