I was looking for a cheap pair of USB-C wired earphones for work when my BT earbuds run out of battery or occasionally play up. Surprisingly, there aren’t many known brand USB-C earphones available at a decent price. These seem to have fairly good reviews on Amazon, so I’m hoping they’ll be alright for the price.
Open type earbuds don’t stay in my ears well, so I prefer ones with silicone ear tips, which also have better noise isolation.
Cheers OP, considering the cost of decent 3.5mm to usbc adaptors, this is a good deal. My old Samsung headphones broke after about 8 years (silicone degraded). Glad to find a decently priced replacement, with free shipping.
Could try price beat at OW for extra saving here I couldn't match the model numbers but photos are identical.
A lot of counterfeits of this model few years ago..
A cheap usb-c to 3.5mm dac like this will go a long way: https://amzn.asia/d/hGK7Mu9
Opens up a world of cheap and surprisingly good sounding IEMs. A bit more of an upfront cost but probably ends up being worth it by the time you have to buy a second set
True, but I wasn’t sure if those worked with inline mics, and an adaptor adds a bit of bulk.
Agree with that, though the ones i have used have always worked with the mic as well (it's only 4 connections for 3.5mm L/R/Mic).
I just bought these now to eliminate the need for an adaptor.
The Apple DAC is great but i could not get it to play well with my S24 Ultra, volume was abysmal. A cx31993 DAC from aliexpress is 8 bucks and gives the same if not better sound than the Apple DAC with android compatibility
I have these. Used them a lot, they are decent.
It’s a good price but I think the Apple one has better sound and microphone if you need it for meetings.
Cannot see any deals now but maybe JB perks could help to match the price😉
Exactly what I did a few days ago, JB price matched against MSY for $25, and I paid $15 using the $10 birthday perk code.
Yes, I saw those, but as I’ve mentioned previously, those open style earbuds don’t stay in my ears, so I prefer ones with silicone tips.
Oh wow, I'm the the opposite. The EarPod style ones feel more comfortable to be than silicone tip ones xD
Should be able to get price match with Officeworks:

Thanks for the link RichardL. Purchased thanks! OOS from the Samsung website store link here by OP by the time I saw it.
Oh dear better luck next time I thought. But thanks to you I was able to purchase. Thanks!
Samsung 3.5mm Earphones (EO-IA500)
$9.50 @ Samsung Aus website & @ Samsung Aus eBay store
Would need to buy a separate 3.5mm to usb-c adapter to use in usb type c port mobile phones.
I can recommend Ludos FEROX USB C Headphones.. similar price range and pretty good.
