I have a One+ 9 pro. These USB-C earbuds did not work at first. My phone did not detect or recognize them at first plug in. They are well built, so I didn't suspect anything wrong with the earbuds themselves. After a bit of research and fiddling around, I switched on OTG mode on my phone, and my phone recognized them. (OTG means: on the go. It tells your device to read usb-c connections as if there is a full size USB device plugged in.) After that, even with OTG disabled, they're plug and play as any earbuds should be. I was very concerned at first, but once I got them to communicate with my device, I'm very satisfied with them. They sound a bit neutral for music, but they are not tinny at all. For podcasts, they perform excellent. The button controller on the earbuds has a volume up and down, and a pause/play button. Overall, I'd say they're pretty solid.

Very good quality!

I'm a voice actor and I use these for Skype calls with my recording partner while we record material together on different continents. It's a little annoying that they work themselves out of my ears when I'm talking, because when I use them I'm always talking. It works if I take the right ear out and drape it around the back of my neck and I keep pushing the left one back in as it falls out. The reason I decided not to return them because the sound quality is so darn good. This is my third product of this type and easily the best sound quality, volume control, noise canceling, etc. of any of them.

I suffer from tinnitus and thought that I'd lost hearing in my left ear because I had expensive blue tooth earbuds and I could hear nothing with my left ear. Then, I tried this product that was only a fraction of the cost, and my left ear now hears just fine. Something about the ear buds is superior. I have tried jamming my blue tooth earbud in the left ear, and I can only get sound if I hold manually. If I let go, no more sound. I'll never go back to wireless / blue tooth unless I can get the same sound.

Originally, my phone came with a pair of these headphones, and I loved them. They lasted almost 5 years of use. Then when they finally started to show signs of wear, and the fabric started to fray at the connector, I decided to buy a new pair. These are absolute garbage. The volume controller split into two peices within a week after getting them in, and after clipping then back together they worked fine for a while. The volume control buttons keep falling apart now and then but it's easy to put back together. However now my phone no longer recognizes them as headphones, and they are useless. Didn't even last 2 months, but now I'm outside my return window so I'm screwed. Spend the money to buy a better option, or risk getting a peice of junk

Sound quality is really good!

It definitely works, but the sound could be better, especially as I have used the 3.5mm jack version and it was less expensive than this one. It's a shame my new phone doesn't have a headphone jack (not surprising) so decided to buy this one and I'm not getting the feel of the sound. Tried different music apps and equalizers but still doesn't quite replicate it. Maybe it's just me being picky/used to a certain kind of "sound". Other than that it's a good buy. Packaging and delivery was on point.

It was very hard for me to find earphones for my Google pixel phone that were inexpensive and didn't require Bluetooth. These fit perfectly and let me listen to my audiobook without interrupting others
