Nowadays, especially in 2024, most people use wireless headphones and they no longer remember the iPhone users' pain from 2016 when Apple ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack...
However, if you're one of the people who still prefer wired earbuds and you have an iPhone, or maybe, your mom doesn't like wireless earbuds and wants something simple for her iPhone, you will need to look into headphones with a Lightning cable (unless your phone is the iPhone 15, then you need a USB-C headphones.)Here, we have made a list of the best wired headphones for iPhone with Lightning connector you can get right now. Keep in mind, however, that Lightning headphones are going the way of the dodo, so the options are few, and dwindling each year.
