Avantree Lightning Wired Earbuds L171 with Mic & Controls

The Avantree L171 are MFi-certified lightning wired earbuds with an earhook, built-in microphone, and in-line volume controls designed for active use with iPhone 11–14 models.

The L171 combines a lightning connector and physical controls for a reliable, plug-and-play listening experience on older iPhones. They deliver balanced sound for music, calls, and videos, include a secure earhook and soft eartips for movement, and are MFi certified for guaranteed compatibility with Lightning-based Apple devices up to iPhone 14. These are wired headphones — not compatible with USB-C phones such as iPhone 15 and newer.

How do the L171 earbuds stay secure during workouts?

The L171 uses a soft earhook and silicone eartips to lock the earbuds in place without pressing uncomfortably against the ear. The lightweight design reduces bounce and keeps the connector stable while you move.

• Soft molded earhook for over-ear stability
• Multiple eartip sizes for a custom seal
• Low-profile cable routing to minimize tugging
• Lightweight housing for reduced movement during activity

What controls and call features are available on the inline module?

The in-line control module gives you tactile buttons to manage audio and calls without pulling out your phone. You can adjust volume, skip or replay tracks, answer or reject calls, and summon your voice assistant with a simple press.

• Physical play/pause button for quick playback control
• Volume up/down for on-the-fly adjustments
• Track skip and replay with multi-press actions
• Built-in microphone for clearer voice calls

What sound quality and features should I expect from these wired headphones?

The L171 focuses on clear, balanced audio tuned for everyday listening rather than heavy bass or active noise cancellation. They reproduce vocals and instruments naturally, making them suitable for calls, podcasts, and general music playback.

• Crisp mids for intelligible speech during calls
• Balanced frequency response for varied music genres
• No active noise cancellation — passive isolation from eartips
• MFi certification ensures stable digital audio via Lightning

Which devices are compatible, and what should I avoid?

These earbuds are purpose-built for Apple devices with a Lightning port, including iPhone 11, 12, 13, and 14 series. They are not compatible with USB-C devices like iPhone 15 and later, nor with devices that require a separate adapter for Lightning audio.

• Compatible: iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14 with Lightning port
• Not compatible: iPhone 15 and newer (USB-C)
• MFi certification avoids connection or digital audio errors on supported iPhones
• No Bluetooth pairing; works instantly when plugged in

Who is this for: The Avantree L171 suits active users with Lightning iPhones who want a dependable wired option for workouts, commuting, and everyday listening. Choose these if you prefer physical controls, a secure earhook fit, clear call performance, and plug-and-play reliability without relying on Bluetooth or battery-powered earbuds.
