Third party accessories and headsets tested with Milos

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.



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.
  • Google Pixel USB-C™ earbuds
  • iMangoo USB C Headphones, Type C Earphones for Samsung S21 S22 S23

     


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.

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. See the complete list here: Third party accessories

NOTE: Currently, Milo still uses its built-in microphones even when you use a headset that has its own mic. In a future release, we'll add the option to use either the Milo mics or the external mic.
