Do these work with USB-C iPhones?

No. The Lightning plug only fits devices with a Lightning port, such as older iPhones and some iPads. USB-C iPhones need the USB-C version or an adapter.

Do they have a microphone and volume controls?

Yes. The inline remote has a microphone plus volume, play/pause and call controls, so you can take calls and change tracks without touching the phone.

How is the sound compared with AirPods?

They sound similar in tuning, with clear vocals and modest bass, but they are wired and have no noise cancellation or transparency modes. AirPods add wireless freedom and charging.

Are they good for noisy commutes?

Not really. The open fit blocks almost no noise, so trains, traffic and offices come through. They suit quiet settings and calls better.

Do they need charging?

No. They draw power from the phone through the Lightning connector, so there is no battery to charge or case to carry.

Will they stay in during runs?

The loose plastic shape fits many ears but can slip during heavy movement, and there is no water resistance rating. They are better for desk, walking and call use.
