They are plug-and-play USB-C earphones with an original smart chip that prevents pop-up errors and preserves stable audio, which is the single biggest reason to consider them. The set includes an inline microphone and volume controls, and promises clear calls and HiFi stereo reproduction for everyday listening on iPhone 16 series, iPhone 15 models, many Android phones and tablets, and USB-C laptops.
