USB-C Headphones For under $100. No Bluetooth talk please. - Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories

I am wondering what your experiences have been with sub-$100 earbuds.
Trying to find a decent pair but don't want to pay more, especially for something I'll use 5-10x a year.
I despise b/t with a passion. So, please don't mention it here.

There is the below thread about one. Post #9 says "These are the same headphones that come with the LeEco S3, Pro, etc. I have them and they are very impressive. "
So that may be a starting point. Basically looking for headphones compatible with those LeEco phones, which seem to need the DAC in the headset and not the phone. I'm going to wait until there are more heaphone options out there myself. Should be just a few months for the Chinese companies to realize there's demand in the US now.
Note that the price used to be $10 a few weeks ago, and is now $30.

There are other suppliers that still have them for $10. I ordered a pair so we will see how they stack up when they get here (12-20 days). https://m.aliexpress.com/search.htm?keywords=CDLA#/

I just ordered the Xiaomi ANC USB-C earphones: https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_636900.html ($45, I think retail for $60 or $65)
Haven't received them yet, but I love my Xiaomi Piston 3's and Xiaomi Hybrids.

None of those are USB-C. All I saw was regular headphone jack.

Deeper bass than stock, but the stock headphones are a bit louder. Comparing with the altec, the stock gave better all round performance. Build quality of altec is definitely superior and will last long. I would say samsung has included good quality (sound-wise) headphones with our phone, looking at "Ooohhh..Ahhhh" reviews for this product by iphone, droid users at newegg.

It doesn't say what kind of headphones, could mean the ones that come with the phone anyway.
This would a great deal though.

Verizon, I got the red-tipped yesterday.
The red tip buds are very much crap, some report them as better than this, however, if comparing to the ipod or apple series, yes they are ****ing awesome, compared to Shure's or other dedicated ims they suck like a cheap whore!

umm, yeah, compared to expensive headphones they likely aren't better. But saying they are crap is hyperbole. I've used numerous headphones and these rank up there close to $50 buds easily.
T-Mobile is the only carrier that doesn't include ear buds.
As to the quality of the ones provided, they're pretty decent for included headphones. Nothing like my more expensive sets, but pretty good for free.

canada, and got red tips lol
I LOVE the headphones I got with my HTC One, unfortunately I lost them somewhere so now need to get another pair.
My partner and her brother were so impressed with them (when I still had them) that they both ordered a pair to use with their HTC One X's

Where to Buy HTC One M7 Red/black Stock Earphones?

Where's the best place to buy the stock earbuds that came with the HTC One M7? I lost mine and I absolutely have to get my hands on another pair, I loved them. I've seen some on amazon and eBay but I've read that they are fake and not nearly as good as the stock ones.
Help would be appreciated!
I wish I knew too :/
I got the Ebay ones they sound fine to me. But do yourself a favor and get the Xiaomi Piston 2s off Amazon for 25 they rock. Look up their review on Headfi if you doubt.
They're on Amazon, I've bought them twice already. Love those earphones. Got them for like $8 or less too.

I still have mine completely unused and still in original packaging (if there was packaging). I literally have not ever touched or taken them out of the phone box. Interested in buying?
I just bought the ones at that link, otherwise I'd buy yours. If I need more I'll buy yours? Haha
Are these just as good as stock earphones?

I used to buy HTC One headphones of eBay (okay, I think they were counterfeit, but I can't prove it).
Now I'm much happier with cordless Bluetooth earbuds. They last about 6 hours on a charge.

If they have those plastic circles that you can take out with your finger then it's fake and also the sound quality is bad.

Headphone Adapter WILDLY Overpriced!

Hey guys, I wanted to ask some of you guys that know more than me about this topic what's a good course of action here. I had a 6T for a while and appreciated having the adapter in the box, then traded that for a 7 Pro! Much to my surprise, no adapter in the box (as you all know at this point having bought the same device). So I go to the OP website and realize this is ROBBERY! For a small headphone adapter???
Point of this post, what is a good alternative that is cheaper, and has better or at least comparable sound output for our 7 Pro? OnePlus is high to be selling the adapter that high and not giving us one after blowing nearly $800 on the device itself! (I did, I bought the 12GB model!)
Goto Amazon and type in "usb-c to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter".
Only thing special about Oneplus is that it's red.

I've seen people talking a out DACs and such on here, like, saying that some adapters are cleaner quality than others? I know nothing about this myself. Did some forum reading here but still unsure what any of this is.
I've also seen posts that say an adapter without a DAC won't even work with the 7 Pro?
The 1st & 3rd links that came up for me specifically mentioned Oneplus.
(I'd screenshot but it's not letting me)

Alright I checked Amazon and eBay since my last reply, and they DO mention OnePlus. That makes things easier. I wonder how the sound quality is though. eBay has some SUPER cheap adapters, but I wonder about quality [emoji848] Thanks for the info man, appreciate that.

There's not really anything state-of-the-art going on here. I have no reason not to believe that those cables are as good, if not better, than the Oneplus one. Wouldn't even be surprised if they came out of the same factory.
Plus Amazon return policy is great.
Not happy, return it.

The one for the Google Pixel 2 right? I see it on eBay for about $9, which is a far more attractive price than the $20 OnePlus is asking, after shipping costs and all!

Avoid adapters for the Pixel phones as those include DACs that are not only unnecessary and more expensive but also result in subpar volume according to other users' experiences.
Check the other adapter thread in this section of the forum for more information.

Yes that is the one that works for me, although I purchased it on amazon, so I had the choice of returns. I don't have volume issues. Try it out and return it, if you don't like it. I also tried the essential adpater and that one didn't function as well.
Using this one. Works fine with the phone.
