In a matter of fact, some clients may require a few more times of use before their end users drop it as waste. This kind of product seems not environmentally friendly enough when the first time we hear this kind of item under the global background which claims environmental protection and carbon neutrality, however, this item exists because of some real issues that we all have to face, Cost!

In the fact, it’s not true, because, in some area, this one-time usages of earphones are essential and plays a great role in their industry.
There are some applications that require these one-time earphones including but not limited to airlines, Bus Touring, museums, promotional purposes, etc. In the airline company, it will be used more for the economic class rather than the business & first-class stateroom cabin, but some of the cheap airline companies still choose the one-time earphones as free gadgets for the clients when they take a plane. The bus touring and museums also use it for their tourists when introduce to them. As for some commercial activities, some clients choose this kind of item as a free promotional gift to promote their business.

Most times, the length of the cord for the wired earphones is 120 cm which means 46.8 inches but in order to save cost, some clients may ask the factory to customize the length of the cord to 100 cm / 39 inches and some even require 80 cm /31.2 inches to cut the cost.

Single 3.5 mm Headphone plug, Two Fixed 3.5 mm headphone plugs, and Two 3.5 mm earphone plugs with one foldable type.
