What it is
Simple wired earbuds with a USB-C plug, for a phone that no longer has a headphone jack. There is no battery to charge and no noise cancelling.
Pros
- They work when the wireless pair is dead in a bag.
- Calls and a podcast do not need a charger.
- Nothing to pair, and nothing that falls out of a case.
Cons
- The cable snags, and there is no seal against a loud bus.
- They will not replace a pair you bought for music.
Who it's for
A backup pair and ordinary phone calls.
Who should skip it
You want wireless or active noise cancelling.
How it compares
Small smart speaker
The speaker fills a room and listens. These stay in your ears. They solve different problems.
Saving keeps this pick in your list. It doesn't load a coupon to your store account.
