Overview
A USB-C plug feeds these Amazon Basics earbuds straight from the port of a phone, tablet or laptop, with no battery or pairing. Silicone buds take removable ear tips, and an inline mic with one button handles calls and music.
Zero charging and zero pairing make them a reliable spare set for travel or a work bag. The single button skips tracks and takes calls but leaves volume to the device, and there is no noise control.
Who it's for
Students, travelers and office workers with a USB-C device get a backup set that never runs flat. Runners in the rain or people who want cancelling should choose a different set.
Pros and cons
- No battery or pairing needed
- Inline mic for calls
- Button skips and pauses tracks
- Removable ear tips in three sizes
- Button does not adjust volume
- Needs a USB-C audio port
- No noise control
- Not water resistant
Performance notes
Sound runs over the USB-C port, so the device has to support audio through that port for them to play. The ear tip seal decides how much bass you hear and how much outside noise leaks in. With no wireless link, there is no lag between video and sound.
