iPhone 7 comes with a pair of Lightning EarPhones and a Lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter.

Lightning jacks get accidently disconnected more often than 3.5 jacks when I move around. Also the Lightning connector wears out faster because of the stress a cable imposes on it. For instance, the Lightning connector on my iPhone 6S suffers from a defective contact already. The 3.5 headphone connector is fine, even when I use it much more.

Ah, good, found out from the person they got the phone through a third-party and didn't get either of those with it (and didn't know they should have).

Are those the "earpods" or whatever? Since they started making those, I have thought of them as absolute garbage. The sound quality is terrible, they don't block any external audio, they constantly fall out.

Maybe I just have stupid shaped ears or something, but I have always thought as apple-brand "earpods" as gilded shit.

Apologies for the rough language, I just cannot express strongly enough how much I despise those "earbuds."

No, these are the wired headphones with an updated Lightning connector.

> The sound quality is terrible, they don't block any external audio, they constantly fall out.

I think the first two problems stem from the third, namely, they don't fit your ears.

> Maybe I just have stupid shaped ears or something

Yes, that is one issue with these headphones is that they don't seem to fit in everyone's ears. I'm not sure if there's an easy fix for this.

I'm pretty sure some people sell little silicone covers for them, but I can't help but think that just buying headphones that fit would work much better.
