Does it work with a phone that has no headphone jack?

No. It uses a 3.5 mm plug, so a phone without a headphone jack needs a USB-C or Lightning adapter.

Can I control volume from the earbuds?

No. The single button handles play/pause and call answer/end, but volume is adjusted on the device.

Is it good for running or the gym?

It is light and the tips fit securely, but it is not sweat-resistant, so heavy workouts may shorten its life.

What comes in the box?

The earbuds with the cable and mic, plus small, medium and large hybrid silicone tips.

How does it compare with wireless earbuds?

It needs no charging and works with any 3.5 mm device, but it has no Bluetooth, no noise cancelling and a cable.

Does it block outside noise?

Only passively, through the silicone tips. There is no active noise cancelling.

Our take on the Sony MDR-EX14AP Wired In-ear Earbud Headphones with Microphone

The Sony MDR-EX14AP is a basic wired in-ear headphone with a 3.5 mm jack, a built-in microphone and a single multi-function button for calls and playback. Its 9 mm neodymium drivers cover an 8 Hz to 22 kHz range, and the 16 ohm impedance means it runs easily from a phone or laptop headphone jack. It suits people who want a cheap, light spare pair for calls and commutes and who dislike charging batteries. Against wireless earbuds it gives up cable-free convenience and noise cancelling, but it needs no charging and works with any 3.5 mm device. Owners rate it well overall, though some find the cable and fit basic.
