00:00So your Xiaomi ditched the headphone jack, and now you're stuck buying a dongle,
00:03then losing the dongle, then buying another one.
00:06Been there.
00:08I went digging through the listings and pulled together 5 Type-C wired earbuds that actually
00:12work properly with Redmi and Xiaomi phones, all of them under 5 bucks, thousands of units sold,
00:17and ratings people actually trust.
00:20Let's get into it.
00:22First up is the Type-C 3.5mm in-ear set built for the Redmi and Xiaomi lineup,
00:26and this one covers a ridiculous range of phones, everything from the Xiaomi 11 Pro all the way up
00:31to the 17, plus iPhone 16, 15, and Samsung and Huawei devices.
00:37The big selling point here is the built-in DAC chip, which means you're getting proper digital
00:41to analog conversion instead of that thin, tinny sound you get from cheap adapters.
00:46It's $4.57, nearly 4,500 sold, sitting at a 4.5-star rating.
00:52If you're the type who switches phones every couple of years, this is the safe pick.
00:58Next, we've got what's listed as the original headphones for Type-C,
01:01and honestly this is the standout of the whole group.
01:05It's rocking a 4.9 rating across more than 4,200 sales,
01:09which is genuinely hard to argue with at this price.
01:12It's tuned for Redmi Note, K50, and the Xiaomi 10-15 series,
01:17and people keep mentioning the bass response,
01:19it's fuller than you'd expect from something this cheap.
01:22$4.42.
01:24That's less than a coffee for earbuds that people are actually leaving 5-star reviews on.
01:30Coming in third is the budget champion of the lineup at just $3.90.
01:34This is the same in-ear Type-C design, works with Redmi Note and the Xiaomi 17 down to the
01:3911 Pro,
01:40plus Samsung and Huawei tablets.
01:43It's got the inline mic and volume controls,
01:45so you can take calls and skip tracks without pulling your phone out.
01:49Over 4,000 sold, 4.5 stars.
01:53Look, at under $4, this is the pair you buy two of,
01:56one for your bag and one for your desk,
01:58so you're never caught without headphones again.
02:01Fourth up, and this one's a bit of a chameleon,
02:03it's built for iPhone 17, 16, and 15 Max,
02:07but it also handles Xiaomi 11 through 14 Pro, Huawei, and Samsung.
02:11So if your household has a mix of iPhones and Xiaomi's,
02:14this is the one pair that works on everything.
02:17$4.32, a 4.9 rating, and just over 4,000 sold.
02:22The cable feels noticeably more solid than the others, which matters,
02:26because the cable is always the first thing to die on cheap earbuds.
02:30And finally, the Type-C wired headphone with mic, priced at $3.97 with a 4.9 rating.
02:36What I like here is that it's laptop-friendly too,
02:40so if you're doing video calls on a Type-C laptop, this doubles as your work headset.
02:45It supports iPhone 15 and 16, the Xiaomi 12 through 17 range,
02:49Redmi K40, Huawei, Samsung, basically everything.
02:53Nearly 3,700 sold.
02:56For under $4, having one pair that handles your phone and your laptop is just genuinely convenient.

03:05prices do move around, so grab them while they're still this cheap.
