I just ordered a set from Apple and I can’t get these to stay in my ear.

I got two pairs from logitech, but the max volume on those was far too quiet.

I got a dongle from Google to use some old AKG earbuds I had, and the inline controls rarely work.

Hoping to find something that has good quality audio, inline controls, decent volume, and eartips that stay in (and/or can be swapped). Preferably somewhere at or below the $20USD mark.

Thank you for any recommendations.

    I would think that would be the preferable option, but I haven’t had any luck with the 3 that I have tried. I’ve tried one from Google, and two from Logitech. The Logitech ones both were too quiet, and all 3 seem to have occasional missed-triggers with inline controls when my home screen is locked. For some reason, only Apple’s USB-C Earbuds have behaved consistently well. I would be willing to settle for those, but they just keep slipping out of my head.

    In fairness: I haven’t tried Apple’s specific dongle with my other earbuds. But I haven’t felt much confidence with dongles in general thus far. If I can’t find a USB-C set of earbuds that ticks the original post boxes, I may just have to gamble on that dongle.

    Thank you again for this suggestion.
