What it is

Amazon Basics AMZ-E8090A are wired in-ear headphones with a USB-C connector and a 4.2 ft cable. The set includes S/M/L silicone tips, an in-line microphone and a touch control button for calls and playback.

Who it suits

Listeners who want a simple plug-and-play audio solution for phones, laptops or tablets equipped with a USB-C audio port. Buyers who need active noise cancellation, wireless freedom or volume controls on the cable itself should consider other options.

Deciding spec

The headphones present a 28 ohm input impedance and draw power directly from the host device's USB-C port. If your source cannot drive that load or lacks a USB-C audio output, these earbuds will not function.

Questions about this item

Do the earbuds draw enough power from the USB-C port to drain a laptop battery noticeably during all-day use?

At 28 ohms impedance and .45 ounces, they draw minimal power from the host device and add no active noise-cancelling circuitry that would increase consumption.

What device port must I already have for these earbuds to function?

A USB-C port that supports analog or digital audio output is required; the 4.2 ft cable ends in a USB-C plug with no adapter included.

Will the in-line microphone and control button work on an older laptop that only has USB-A ports?

No, the earbuds terminate in a USB-C connector and contain no USB-A adapter, so they cannot connect to legacy USB-A ports directly.
