Good to know

Questions, answered.

Pick the version that matches your phone at checkout: USB-C for USB-C Android phones, iPads, laptops and USB-C iPhones; the 3.5 mm jack for anything with a headphone socket; or the Lightning version for iPhone 5 through 14. The Lightning version comes with the adapter in the box — you can see it in the product photos.

Plug it into your phone's headphone jack or USB-C port. When a call comes in, answer on your phone as normal, then pick up the handset and hold it to your ear like a traditional phone. The microphone is built into the mouthpiece.

The centre button answers and ends calls, and pauses or plays music and video. The plus and minus buttons on the handset set the earpiece volume — no need to touch your phone.

No. It's fully wired — plug it in and it works. Nothing to charge, nothing to pair.

Yes. It works as a wired earpiece for anything — calls, music, podcasts, video — with the mic active for calls and voice notes.

A PVC housing, about 146 g (161 g for the Lightning version), roughly 23 x 7 x 6 cm — close to the size of a classic telephone receiver.
