- So who else has noticed a resurgence of wired headphones showing up on TitTok and other short-form video platforms? I have...so...here's what we think are the best lightning headphones to get!
Best In-Ear Lightning Headphones - SKULLCandy Set Lightning Headphones (mreh.ca/3ylBhw7)
Best Lightning Headphones - Apple EarPods (mreh.ca/3Apvj09)
Best Sounding Lightning Headphones - UGreen In-Ear Lightning Headphones (mreh.ca/3InyDe3)
Products you should stay away from:

-Belkin RockStar iPhone Headphones with Lightning Connector-
So this is the most expensive pair of lightning headphones that I’ve tested so far. Here’s three things you should know.
Music quality is like day old pop. Flat.
The wide cable is annoying
AND the mic is terrible.
It’s twice as expensive as Apple’s Own EarPods so that means it must be twice as good right? Not at all. You’re buying it for the Belkin name. Which would mean something if Belkin’s trademark was worth anything.
-SKULLCANDY Set In-Ear Earbuds with Lightning Connectors-
Every time I buy a SkullCandy product, I ask myself, am I 12? Because as an adult, I have to look down at anything with skulls. And Candy.
Here’s what I’ve discovered:
-If you like getting your ear thumped. These are the headphones for you. They sound pretty good.
-This is the best mic if you’re one of those people who hold their headphones like this when making videos
-the buds are a little annoying to use given their size
These headphones cost a hair more than Apple’s so if you’re looking for a good sounding set of wired headphones at a good price, get a pair of these.
-AmazonBasics Earphones with Lightning Connector-
Pretty sure Amazon messed up these Earphones. I’ll elaborate in a bit. Here’s three things you need to know.
-Music sounds slightly better than Apple’s own EarPods. Everything sounds a little brighter
-The mic sucks when compared to the EarPod’s. Not the worst I’ve used but not great.
-It has the shortest cable of all the headphones I’ve used.
Seriously, my expectation of AmazonBasics products is, just as good but cheaper. These headphones are 34 dollars compared to 20 for Apple’s EarPods and perform worse. WHY?
-UGREEN Lightning Earphones MFi Certified In-Ear Headphones-
Seriously, who would name a brand UGREEN. Now I go into any review of an Amazon brand with low expectations. Did UGreen’s Lightning Earphones meet those low expectations?
Here’s what I know:
-Music sounds amazing in these headphones
-You can really pick out the percussion in rock music and the bass is heavy enough for pop/dance tracks
-BUT the mic on these headphones, is garbage. Absolute garbage.
So did UGREEN meet my low expectations? Nope. They exceeded them. Slightly.

Always liked your video reviews for the accessories you make even though I might not always buy the product but the first thing that comes before buying/getting an opinion about any mobile accessories is your channel :) keep up the amazing work 👏🏼👍🏼 Would recommend your channels to friends and family if they have trouble deciding…😊
Purchased the UGreens and the sound is AMAZING! 👍The best sounding headphones i've ever purchased. Thanks for steering me to them!
where did you bought it? i cant find anywhere
@@yagosilva8865 amazon
I’ve heard the Apple EarPods mic is like… phenomenal and that singers on TikTok making short clips love these for their size and mic quality specifically
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Airpods (i only have the pros but i think for the base models too) don't have a logo either. I think the wired ones are priced reasonably because you'll be much more likely to buy airpods down the road. Great video!
Holy cow that pull up bar is cool. Ugreen is a pretty cool electronics brand. Can’t believe that Skullcandy got #1 that is very cool and poggies
I still love wired headphones over wireless as long as I live. They sound better and there cheaper for music playing. Skullcandy wired is always my #1 favorite I'm still using them now and it's my prefer than anything else
Can’t believe these are back. I don’t miss that wire getting caught on anything and everything, especially when I work out
The quality and value is much better.
I brought AirPods. They are more comfortable because of the lack of wires however because it only connects to the ears, the AirPods became uncomfortable on my ears. They also broke after about 6 months, aren’t able to connect properly and i don’t feel willing to spend so much on wireless earphones which provide average audio.
@@PeteS_1994 apple has a 1 year warranty so you should send them back for exchange. Also check out Anker Soundcore, they have great quality for the price, you can spend like 30-50 bucks and have sound equivalent to the AirPods 1, 2, and 3. Pros are on a whole other level.
Just workout with headphones well at least i do
Where did Val go?
She was as cool
@@chadh6855 you just sherlocked the man. well done.
so after using some bang and olufsen headphones and earphones, some sennheiser iems and some beats fit pros. I always come back to the earpods for having the reliability of the wire and best comfort as well as open airy sound. And as they are considerably cheaper than the others. I am not always worrying about losing them. Haven't really got a reason to upgrade to airpods other than the wireless freedom but I don't want the stress anymore of having to look after expensive headphones
Great video and showmanship!
Have used Palovue in the past, very good price for the quality.
Was hoping to see some others here as well like the beats. Maybe sennheiser for super high end.
I picked up a RAYZ pioneer plus for the ability to charge, price is not worth it IMO but the sound quality is much better
Yeah I occasionally bring my old (came with one of my iPhones old) EarPods if I plan on being out all day and will need headphones that don’t need a charge but even then I don’t love being wired in
Wireless is more convenient but I use both wired and wireless. I like that I don’t need to charge my wired earbuds but will still use both.
It's still hard to beat the sound quality of wired earbuds and headphones. Going wireless does introduce more digital compression, and a higher cost due to the extra electronics. The other issue with wireless earbuds is longevity, the lithium batteries start degrading after 2-3 years, resulting in expensive earbuds going into landfill. I have some wired sennheiser PX100 that I am still using with my mobile phone that are more than 12 years, and sound far better than my £200 sound cancelling earbuds. It's horses for courses.
Thanks for making this video
I use wired headphones only when I don’t do activities that involve moving a lot. Unless I wear a jacket during said activities that involve moving a lot. Also I use the Apple EarPods just because I got it by chance. They work wonderfully well.
Right, I think the wired ones have better mics. The mic on the AirPods, especially if you play games, is kinda bad. But it would be cool if they came out with a better version of the wired earphones. It may not be popular but I’d at least try them since I use the apple ones.
Aaron, you must be reading my mind.
Just picked up a pair of cheap Sonys from Best Buy, on the strength of a coworker. He isn’t tech savvy, and uses wired headphones, but didn’t have his on him. So he asked me. Got me thinking….I needed a low tech backup just in case. But really been thinking about the best quality-to-value.
Thanks for this bud!
The Apple Magsafe Charger doesn't have an Apple logo, but it's still like double the price of others like the Spigen Magsafe ArcField Charger.
How do you perform a wired headphones comparison and not include “Shure”…the gold standard
I have broken 3 nano armor three screen protectors and just ordered my third replacement. This is just from carrying around the phone in a bag. Can you suggest an alternative as these crack easily. I am not having the same results as you.
When I go wired I use a FIIO DAC and some nice over the ear headphones. I like my Meze 99 Classic headphones at the moment.
Couple is things Im experiencing.
1. I can’t just plug and hear anyone on face time. Or anything. I have to hang up, plug in. Connect. Then call back. With wired earbuds I find strange.
2. With the Earbuds already plugged in, and iPhone 14 is in sleep mode, the earbuds don’t work unless I unplug and then plug back to make connection. What am I doing wrong?
Nice video, back to good old days with Monty. Did you part ways with Val? Maybe she finally found a better gig.
@@chadh6855 Interesting, jumping into negative conclusions perhaps. Maybe Val is taking vacation time, it is summer so ….. we shall see if she returns in Aug or Sept. If still no show, something is definitely up.
If you are going to go wired, get a 3.5 pair with and adapter it will give you a much better selection of headphones like e.g kz zn pros would probably decimate any of these with a much lower price. Also if you are going to work out with them feed them through your shirt?
I went back to the Apple ear pods lighting connector because I went through 5 pair of the Apple wireless some working past 2 months I do run a lot and sweat a lot so I am pretty rough on them.
I’m subscribing because this was good information and you refer to yourself as a reviewer, not an influencer…. Because people that refer to themselves as influencers are giving themselves far too much credit.
P.S. The Bluetooth non wired EarPods fall out of my ears. It was $200+ down the drain.
buy third party silicone sleeves if they don’t fit in your ears?
Does the UGreen and Skullcandy earphones compatible with iPhone 14 pro max ?
It'd be dope if you can do like the best Macbook Air M2 sleeves
I’d like to see which wired headphones you could sleep with. With your head on the side, on both sides laying down, of course... Can’t find anything on it and also that has a good mic and sound quality close to Apple earpods while being on a phone call. Love the review and was looking to something comparable to Apple EarPods. I guess I’ll stick to the Apple ones. Thanks.
Can you please make a video on DropGuys brand phone cases? I have one of them and love it, but I haven’t heard ANYONE talk about them.
Your dog is super awesome 🇨🇦
Where's Val been?
apparently in ecuador
She got deported
@@Abdel725Where’d you hear that?
Wired earbuds aren't meant to be used during high movement activities. One tip to avoid the cable dangling into your arms and other objects is to pass the cable underneath your shirt, this creates a barrier between your cable and everything else.
I disagree with most people's take that TWS is better than wired. While bluetooth is more convenient wired is cheaper, better sound quality, better mic, better value all around. People love to complain about dealing with the wire. Learn to wrap the wire properly, stop pulling the wire out of your ears, and be more mindful; it's not that hard not to tangle your wire. Plus, when talking about iems, a good pair will last you longer, at most you might only need to replace the detachable cable, and they are a better value than even AirPods/Pro; iems don't require noise canceling or transparency mode.
Then again this is all just my (unpopular) opinion.By the way, you cannot compare an earbud that hangs on your ear with things that are meant to go inside your ear.
I'm not sure whether the apple earpods are great value due to not having an apple logo as the design is so iconic that everyone can tell they are apple earpods, but I think they cannot charge too much as they are included with many phones from 2012-2019 so lots of people already have them as part of their iphone purchase.
Not the ones that are lightning ended, you are talking about auido jack ones. Those are made past the iphone 7 when headphone jack got removed.
Does anybody know any plastic screeen protectors brand for my iphone!?
I thought you meant IEMs. Those things beat both tw and those cheap ones.
I want a pair of cabled just to have in my bag as a backup.
Im using apples wired Earphones i only wish the cables were a bit more rugged
I love this channel. I like the content and the reviews, I have bought from this channel via their reviews/lists. BUT, if you're going to flake on the setup and not at least be upfront with all aspects, then I am done too. Where is Val and are you moving to Tic-Tok now? Bummed.
Is nobody going to talk about my dude doing like full-on crunches and pull ups at the same time like excuse me
The superior way of holding an earphone to talk into it is speaking into the headphone jack
You should make a video for all headphones wired* in general instead of apple’s
Why would I ever use a lightning headphone instead of a lightning to jack adapter + sony headphones?? :)
Don't you think that it would be nice to inform your audience about Val?
I don’t think it’s that hard to figure out. New location, no Val, no wedding ring…those puzzle pieces go together a certain way
@@derickjelley7030 True, but Val was not his wife - unless I am misunderstanding what you wanted to say!
@@grourdou indeed, she wasn’t. But I thought he was married, and if he’s not now, some dots could be connected. And the potential chaos of that possibility would explain the less consistent posting schedule.
@@derickjelley7030 Well said! I never thought of it that way!
Apparently he rented a separate house to do these drunken videos alone with her late into the night too, even though he had a wife and child at home. Val isn't his wife.
FYI I tried to use 2 of the links and they didn’t work.
Which ones are the loudest
i wish they could make usb c or lightning over ear headphones, not in ear.
Gotta love Mon Mon!
Thank you Mr. review and not influencer!
Where's the lady and why aren't there any cocktails?! :)

Where's Val?

The Skull Candy set ones are $30 now : (
Love that dance!!😂
I think I speak for everyone when I say I don’t miss wires on my headphones.
Something about the freedom to move my arms and body around without having to worry about tugging or pulling on a cable is just… peaceful 👌🏻
You don’t speak for everyone
I would much rather have a wire than have to worry about it my phones are charged or not when I grab them.. and no matter how you make a pair of wireless phones. They will never be as comfortable as a good wired pair.. because they have to have batteries and electronics in them.. so they will always be bulky.. no thanks
No, You're not speaking for everyone, I do like tws while traveling or workout, but wired iems offer much more than tws for the asking price and are more durable, for example I've changed 3 different pairs of tws (twice the price of Arias) buds while my Moondrop Arias are still fine.
I do perfect tws and neckband earbuds for some tasks but they can't compete with wired iems at the same or even half their price in terms of music quality.
Just buy any decent iem and lightning to MMCX/0.78 mm cable
Val?
Apparently he rented a separate house to do these drunken videos alone with her late into the night, even though he had a wife and child at home. Val is not his wife.
When a phone manufacturer brings back the jack, they will outsell all the other phone manufacturers, fact!
Still like the earpods when at the pc, but wires on the go, no way.
You can pull wired headphones from my cold, dead hands. Charging headphones is such a massive inconvenience. If I forget and can’t access my music, my day is ruined beyond repair.
why did you only review bottom tier wired earbuds
check out iems
Where is Val what’s going on man I need my fix ?
@@chadh6855 so you think he piped her and is now single or got divorce man you went deep I need a nap .

@@Chad-rb1gn Where'd you hear this?
Bruh the skull candy is 10 dollars more than the apple EarPods 😭😭😂
I went back to wired mainly because I prefer my higher quality IEMs (which you can get better sound more suited for one’s audio taste give or take the $30 mark) for music. That said there is some magic in the Apple mic. I often use an Apple wired set for calls. They sound better than any BT mic.
I liked ur cats reference :)😂
I miss Val too

I always liked wired earbuds and headphones and always will like and prefer wired headphones and earbuds.
1:31 what's "a buut? "
KZ's or KBears, CCZ's any of these would smash all the other earbuds in this price range, I just bought a pair of CCZ Coffee beans for $20, they are IEM in shape and have the earloop detachable cable and man, they wreck even my Moondrops.
KZ’s are bad tbh
Hopefully lightning will be gone next year. Bring on one cable! Love your videos Hope to see more!
Theyre gonna release EarPods with usb c connection
*Wired > Wireless because if you have an EMF reader like we do, you will see how much radiation AirPods give off. It's a TON.* Like, 3x more than putting your head next to a microwave.
Other wireless earbuds emit much much less, but WOW we have tons of AirPods in the studio and once we realized how much radiation they give off.... we had to ditch them.
Wired EarPods don't have that issue, similar sound quality, and BETTER mic quality for calls.
Yes they suck because of the wire, but the tradeoffs are more than worth it.
Does this still apply if I only have 1 AirPod in at once?
I want a review from Monty too
WELCOME BACK 🎉I’m pleased your back to your original videos, I’ve missed these. I don’t miss Val, I don’t want to sound mean I just really enjoyed Arrons options and Val ruined it all for me and if I’m honest I stopped watching a lot of the reviews when she came along as the videos changed. I love you and Monty.
@@chadh6855 no one’s business I guess apart from theirs!
@@chadh6855 I think maybe you just need to stop trolling and get a grip of your own life.
Have a good day 😁
I don’t like wired headphones love my Apple airpod 3 👍🏽
Why
They never went away.
What song again? Levitate by Leg Press? What?! 😂
Brother did you get hacked?
AirPods don’t have an apple logo and are priced high for the meh audio quality
iphone 14 pro max cases!!
I like the Apple wired. I would like AirPods 3 design in wired.
They’re not just more cheap people are out and about now.
always good humour
get an IEM and a dongle. They are made for competing with studio quality headphones.
do you have it and which one exactly?
i owned Belkin. very average and broke down. warranty replaced them with earbuds but they broke down also. never buy Belkin again
That’s a good dog lol
I don't say that about every move Apple makes but for this: "Thank you Apple for knowing better than me what I need and leading the way in the removal of headphone jacks and forcing me to get bluetooth headphones"
AirPods team :) can’t imagine to use wired EarPods ever again…
Don’t want no radiation near my head
Me with air pods pro: hahahahahaha who still uses wired headphones 😂😎
DOGGO!!!
😊👍🌹
They never left did they??? I'd never buy wireless, there inconvenient and worse quality
No they're not 😂
This is a stupid comeback.
No one uses this anymore. Stop it
They still use iems
@@sadedx speak to me in plain English please
@@kie-skatemods4141 in ear monitor
No bruh.....buy some fucking iems 🤦♂️
😂 wired headphones. I hate them. Great for streaming but looks terrible
what the dog doin
TitTok?
