I’ll be answering if the lightning EarPods work well with iPhone 6s and below.
These are a very common type of headphones seen (mainly because they came standard with most iPhones) however they stopped adding them with the newer ones.
But it’s important to be able to hear whatever you’re listening to with a pair of reliable headphones.
These lightning EarPods I’ve found have mixed reviews depending on the how they were used by their owner.
Do the Lightning Earpods work with iPhone 6S and below?
Yes. As long as your device has iOS 10 you’ll be good. There’s other options however if you’re just looking for an affordable pair of earpods:
- Apple EarPods headphones with 3.5 mm plug
- Apple Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter
- Apple AirPods (2nd generation) wireless earbuds with lightning charging cable
- EARBUDi Flex
There’s plenty of options when it comes to having reliable headphones for an older iPhone, the most important thing will be to have the device running iOS 10 or older.
Conclusion
This should answer your question best.
Just in case you forgot, the lightning EarPods do in fact work with the iPhone 6.

I like the wired earbuds myself, and was happy to find out they were keeping the earbuds for the usb-c switch they’ve seem to be doing with most tech pieces lately.
