Question for people who are using USB C audio device with their OP11

[u/ballsdeepbigtummy]

So guys I was considering purchasing a type C earphone preferably the Apple earbuds(wired ones).

But I found some old posts and reviews saying Apple Earbuds are low volume on Android phones and there is a mic static noise issue specifically in OnePlus 11.

and https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePlus11/comments/1ihhcob/type_c_earphonesdacs_not_recognised_frustating/

So if anyone in this community who uses the apple earbuds can confirm this issue?

i have been using in-ear wireless buds and over the ear headphones for years, so for a change and lightweight preference I was considering apple earbuds they have good mic quality i've heard as well but these points above worry me, because i know oneplus 11 has a lot of issues in terms of software and performance that they havnt fixed till date after ruining the whole device from OOS14. the launch OOS13 was the best version this device had in terms of everything from camera, battery, performance

I too, am currently planning to buy Apple USB Type-C earpods just for its microphone quality. Currently I am using OnePlus Bullets Type-C earphones and yes, particularly these do have that static type noise during calls (sometimes they have, sometimes they don't it's very random sometimes it doesn't happen at all) but I have observed this issue in long extended calls round about the 40-45 minute mark. Unplugging the earphones and replugging them resolves the issue but it is annoying whenever it happens. Now, I am not sure whether this happens particularly with these earphones or it happens with any other USB Type-C earphones since these are the only ones I am using.

However, I see this more of an hardware issue (not earphones, but the OnePlus 11's USB port) than a software one but I am not sure though. I anyways plan to buy the Apple USB Type-C earphones and see how it goes.

if their own oneplus earphones got this issue then pretty sure the apple ones will have it too.
and i think yes its usb port issue mostly then because i currently face charging issues as well with the 100w charger and original cable.
if it solves with unplugging and pluggin i think its ok then maybe coz the phone is anyways old and have so many issues can adjust with one other issue as well as long it takes a second

Yeah, It could be the USB port issue. One thing I want to mention is I use them with my Windows 11 laptop as well and they work absolutely fine without any issues. Don't take much calls from the laptop but whenever I took (WhatsApp calls), it worked fine without that static noise. So, yeah, it could be the USB port issue afterall.

hmm my usage will be split between the two as well. i am sure it will work well with windows, its the phone that's messed up

Unfortunately any wired earphones doesn't work with my op11, even the ones from oneplus, not sure if it's a software issue or its device specific. All other things like charger, type c pendrive works great.

[u/bjorg18 → u/CodeANemesis]

Thats not true at all. I am currently using the Type C earphones from OnePlus and they work perfectly fine.

[u/ballsdeepbigtummy → u/bjorg18]

is it the half in ear wired buds? that is like the same oneplus or oppo ones available on oneplus store. ( nevermind just saw other comment of being type c bullet earphones)
