I've been looking for 3rd party lightning earbuds with a mic (Apple's always fall out right away, unusable for me). I'd rather not carry around that adaptor. And I have a bluetooth set of earbuds, but it's just one more device to charge.

There seem to be very few options here:

1. JBL Reflect Aware: http://www.jbl.com/earbuds/REFLECT+AWARE.html?dwvar_REFLECT AWARE_color=Black#start=1

-But $200 for earbuds is crazy.

2. Brightech: https://www.amazon.com/Brightech-Li...7&sr=8-1&keywords=Brightech+in-ear+headphones

-$50, But no mic

3. Apple earbuds - Included with iPhone 7 / 7+, but have a poor fit.

Yeah, that's all I got.

I imagine more options will come up. In be mean time, leave the adapter attached to your headphones.

Lol, I ordered the Brightech from Amazon this morning. I am interested in the Air Pods but I cannot see myself spending that kind of money unless I really really like them.

Either would be returnable, I hope I hit a double or triple with the ones from Amazon. I doubt it though or they would be lots more folks jumping on them and leaving a nice review.
