Going against the wireless trend, Sony offers an accessible and functional alternative for users looking for a simple audio solution. The new Sony IER-EX15C earphones offer the practicality of a USB-C connection, light weight and unrestricted use. A return to wired in-ear headphones designed for everyday use. All at the ultra-competitive price of €25.
Universal USB-C connection
Many smartphones now come without earphones, making the purchase of a hands-free kit essential for phone calls or listening to music. Sony is anticipating this need with the IER-EX15C in-ear headphones, aimed at users of smartphones, tablets and laptops with a USB-C port. This universal connector ensures broad compatibility without the need for an adapter, which is exactly what the Japanese manufacturer’s new wired earphones are aiming for: practicality and functionality. What’s more, the cable bypasses the problem of the battery and regular recharging of wireless earbuds.
Sony’s IER-EX15C earphones feature an in-ear design, complemented by three pairs of silicone tips in different sizes. This choice enables a personalized fit, improving wearing comfort, especially during extended listening sessions.
This pair of wired earphones is also very light. Their featherweight (3g) guarantees trouble-free mobile use. The notched cable reduces the risk of tangling, and an adjuster keeps the earphones neatly organized when stored or transported.
Expert's note
Sony IER-EX15C in-ear headphones come with three pairs of silicone tips. Take the time to test the different sizes to find the one that best suits your ear. In-ear designs naturally block out most outside noise to enhance the immersive experience.
Balanced sound reproduction

Sony has also included a wired remote control, integrated into the cable. It allows you to manage essential functions without using your smartphone: play/pause, volume control, call acceptance and microphone activation. A valuable feature in a mobile context.
Price and availability
Sony’s IER-EX15C wired earphones are available in pink, blue, white and black at the ultra-competitive price of 25 euros. This price positioning places them in the entry-level accessory category, but with a set of practical features that cater for a wide range of uses.
Summary
With the IER-EX15C, Sony offers a simple, affordable wired solution that’s compatible with the majority of today’s USB-C devices. Their lightweight design, in-line remote control and no recharging will appeal to users looking for a practical, functional device for everyday use.
