Sony IER-EX15C Brings Back Simple Wired Earphones with USB-C at a Budget Price

Sony's new wired earphones combine quality sound and convenience without subscriptions or charging hassles.

If you’re anything like me, sometimes you just want to plug in and enjoy your music without fussing over batteries, subscriptions, or wireless connections. Sony heard the call and just released the IER-EX15C—an affordable, straightforward pair of wired in-ear headphones with a USB-C connector. Let’s dive into why these might be your next no-nonsense audio companion.

Clean, Classic Sound with Modern Convenience

Sony’s IER-EX15C comes equipped with 5mm neodymium drivers, promising rich, high-quality sound packed with punchy bass and crisp vocals. As a fan of clear audio, I appreciate that these earphones focus on pure listening pleasure without extra gimmicks. Whether you’re jamming to your favorite pop tunes or catching a podcast, the sound clarity stands out.

But these aren’t just any wired earphones—they come with a multifunctional inline remote featuring both a microphone and volume control. This means you can easily play or pause music, switch tracks, handle calls, toggle the microphone, and even activate your phone’s voice assistant—all without fumbling for your device. For those who hate the hassle of wireless earbud charging or subscription-based services, this is a breath of fresh air.

Tangle-Free and Custom Fit: Practical Features That Matter

What really won me over is Sony’s attention to cable design. The IER-EX15C includes a cable slider to adjust length and help reduce tangles thanks to its ribbed finish. This is a thoughtful touch for anyone who’s ever wrestled with a knotty mess of headphone wires in their bag or pocket.

Plus, the earphones come with three sizes of ear tips—XS, M, and XL—so you can find the perfect seal for comfort and sound isolation. It’s great to see Sony catering to different ear shapes, ensuring these buds won’t just sound good, but also stay snug during your commute or workout.

Style and Price That Won’t Break the Bank

On the aesthetics side, the IER-EX15C is available in four colors: classic black, vibrant blue, soft pink, and clean white. It’s nice to have options beyond the standard black, especially for those who like a splash of personality in their tech.

Best of all, these wired USB-C headphones come at a wallet-friendly $30 price point. In a world where premium wireless earbuds can cost hundreds, this is a reminder that sometimes simple, affordable gear does the trick just fine—especially when it’s backed by Sony’s audio legacy.

No charging, no subscription fees—just solid wired headphones that get the job done.
