Yeah I've kept headphones from the phones and iPods I've purchased over the years,
And just gone through those as I need them. I did give a couple of pair away but the only real issue I have with them now is that I have a couple of lightening connection versions sitting in a box, But they don't connect to my notebook when I'm running windows. So I purchased a couple of sony headphones similar design but crap sound and they cost me $9 each NZ. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Saturday, 26 June 2021 5:01 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Wired alternative to Apple Lightning earbuds I know he said he was looking for alternatives, but for me an alternative which its inside the ear and blocks off all or most sound is not an alternative. Despite the fact that the Apple Earbuds break from time to time I still think they are the best wired ear buds on the market as far as sound qualiy, functionality and not blocking out external noise are concerned. If you can find them for $10 or $15 from sources like eBay, Amazon or GroupOn then that would be pretty acceptable to me, I would just buy 4 or 5 at a time and use them up. I use mie all the time and I'm pretty hard on them as well, just yesterday I accidently dropped them and rolled over one of the ear pieces with my office chair, ell, so much for that, if it had been one of the Apple Airpods Pro I would have been a lot more upset! -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Joe Orozco Sent: Friday, June 25, 2021 8:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Wired alternative to Apple Lightning earbuds I think the point is Wayne did not want to spend more money on the Apple EarPods. Giving him ways to spend less on the same product isn’t solving his issue.
