I ordered two pairs of earphones last week, the ones on the left and right in the photo. I asked for all black but received colorful ones instead. *facepalm* No big deal, serves its purpose. Both are perfectly functional and reasonably priced. Initially, I was really looking for an adapter to connect my EarPods with lightning connector (the white one in the middle) to my laptop, which only has 3.5mm and USB ports. I was hoping that the store where I bought the new ones could build me one cause they sell DIY electronics but no dice there. I scoured the Internet for a while but I don't think it's available yet on the market. I also asked a few sellers from China if I could use two different adapters to make it work and they said it wouldn't. I hope I'm making sense. I'm just a little disappointed that I can't use it at all with my laptop. Earphones don't last long with me so I think this one will. I use it with my phone by the way but I'm on my laptop nearly all the time these days. Anyway, I woke up about an hour ago, already had my first coffee. Notifications next and then move on to other sites. It's nighttime here so no any housework for me. It's raining right now, which is nice. Tonight's gonna be a good night.

Some of the sellers were puzzled by what I was asking. I had to collage a few photos to show them what I needed. I really think it's yet to be invented.

Yes, I did but it's on Amazon and it's gonna cost me a lot plus shipping. Now I know it exists, hard to find though. This brand is available on our local shopping sites, I messaged the seller to see if they could supply it.

I certainly hope so. Thank you. If it's still going to cost this much, I'd rather get new earphones.

I'm sorry you didn't get what you asked for. It's a bummer when what you need, nobody has.

I actually have 3 pairs of lightning earphones. I didn't pay for them, they were gifts but still, too bad.

Yeah I had the same kind of problem with my computer mouse, charging cord and headphones when I visited my boyfriend this Christmas. He had said he got a new computer that I could use while I was visiting him. But I found out his new computer only takes C ports. I don't like using the trackpad. I don't like his new computer. I will be getting a new computer mouse that has a C port before I visit him again.

Maybe there's an adapter for that and it might be cheaper than a brand new mouse. I also don't like using the trackpad cause it slows me down. I'm currently using a wireless mouse, which was a gift but I always prefer the wired type so I don't have to spend extra money on batteries.
