If you are looking for recommendations for headsets, audio adapters, or USB-C flash drives, this article summarizes devices the Milo Team has tested. We use many of these ourselves. All are easy to find on Amazon and similar sites.
We add new models and update the information as we test additional accessories.
Bluetooth Headsets
For Bluetooth headsets/headphones, we recommend Shokz OpenRun headset (previously AfterShokz Aeropex) – they’re great in water. Apple AirPods (gen 2-3 and Pros) also work.
We continue to test additional headsets/headphones so we can expand that list over time.
NOTE: In v. 10 and earlier, Milo uses only built-in microphones. In v. 11, you have the option to use an external mic.

USB-C Wired Headsets / Headphones
You can use most wired headsets and headphones with a USB-C connector, such as Google earbuds. Many simple USB-C headsets/headphones work well, but not all, so try them when you’re grouped with other Milos before relying on them working.
NOTE: In v. 10 and earlier, Milo uses only built-in microphones. In v. 11, you have the option to use an external mic.

USB-C-to-3.5mm Adapters and Cables
If you have a favorite wired headset with a 3.5 audio connector at one end, you can use them with Milo if you have the right kind of connector. You can connect many wired headsets/headphones with an audio-to-USB-C connector, for example Apple wired headsets and an Apple connector. Here too you want to test your specific combination: connect with another Milo and verify both people can both talk and hear when the wired solution is in use.
