- Do these work with newer iPhones that have no headphone jack?
- Only through an adapter or a USB-C-to-headphone-jack dongle. iPhones with a Lightning port need a Lightning adapter; USB-C models need a USB-C adapter.
- Do they need charging or Bluetooth pairing?
- No. They are wired, so they draw no battery and connect as soon as you plug them in.
- Can I use the microphone for calls and video meetings?
- Yes. The inline microphone handles phone calls and voice chat, and the volume buttons sit on the cable.
- How do they compare with wireless earbuds?
- They skip charging, pairing and a case, but you give up cable-free movement, noise cancellation and typically richer sound.
- Are they good enough for commuting or the gym?
- For quiet commutes they are fine, but the cable snags during exercise and there is little noise isolation on loud trains.
- Where is the Earbuds for iPhone cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $20.99, as of our latest check.
