Do these work with a phone that has no headphone jack?

Yes. They plug into the USB-C port, so they suit phones and tablets that dropped the 3.5 mm jack. Check that your device outputs audio over USB-C.

Can I use them for calls?

Yes. There is an inline microphone on the cable for calls and voice chat. Sound is mono through the mic, as with most wired headsets.

The flat, low-profile housings are made to press less into the pillow than regular earbuds. Fit varies by ear, so comfort depends on your ear shape.

No. They are passive earbuds with no active noise cancellation. The seal gives some isolation, but not the level of ANC buds.

No. They are fully wired and draw no battery, and there is no app or pairing step.

They work with any USB-C device that supports audio output, including many laptops and USB-C iPads. Very old USB-A-only devices need an adapter.
