Amazon Basics 17E13BK
A USB-C connection and 4.2-foot cable provide direct, plug-and-play compatibility with modern phones and laptops lacking a 3.5mm jack. The package includes S/M/L silicone ear tips and a built-in control button for call and music management, though it lacks volume adjustment. This is best for users needing a simple, wired backup pair for calls and casual listening on USB-C devices.
