Monoprice Premium USB-C Wired Earbuds review

At $7.99, Monoprice's Premium USB-C Wired Earbuds are the cheapest way on this list to get sound out of a phone without a headphone jack. Monoprice lists 10mm Neodymium Iron Boron drivers, a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, a built-in microphone, and one control button that plays, pauses and answers or ends calls. The company calls the build ultra lightweight for long sessions, and it sells them with a 1-year replacement warranty plus a 30-day money back guarantee. Volume pricing makes them practical for classrooms or offices: $7.79 each for 2 to 9 and $6.79 each at 50 or more. The limits show in the spec list. There are no volume buttons, no water rating, and the package contents list only the earbuds, with no extra tip sizes named. For a spare pair in a bag or a set for kids, the price does most of the work.
