How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a simple 3.5 mm wired in-ear pair with a big 11 mm driver, a lightweight plastic build and three sizes of eartips in the box, choose BZINK H89; if you need a USB-C wired in-ear earphone with an inline DAC chip, magnetic earbuds that hang around your neck, and push-button volume control, choose Yatloml USB C Headphone. The deciding factor is your port, not your taste: one plugs into a headphone jack, the other plugs into USB-C and does the digital-to-analog conversion itself.
• BZINK H89 biggest strength: an 11 mm PET polymer diaphragm dynamic driver, 20 ohm impedance and 99 dB sensitivity — easy to drive from a plain 3.5 mm jack, with a sound signature the specs describe as bass-forward and vocal-clear.
• BZINK H89 biggest trade-off: it is a 3.5 mm wired set only. No USB-C, no DAC, no volume buttons — just media control on a remote, and it depends entirely on your device still having a headphone jack.
• Yatloml USB C Headphone biggest strength: a built-in DAC chip plus 10 mm dynamic drivers, 32 ohm impedance and 112 dB sensitivity, with magnetic earbuds and inline volume control — built for phones and tablets that dropped the headphone jack.
• Yatloml USB C Headphone biggest trade-off: it only works with USB-C devices. Plug it into a 3.5 mm port with an adapter and you are in convertor territory; plug it into an old Lightning iPhone and it simply will not fit.
• Pick BZINK H89 if you listen on a desktop PC, laptop, school Chromebook or anything with a 3.5 mm socket and want a spare pair in the bag.
• Pick Yatloml USB C Headphone if your phone, tablet or MacBook is USB-C only and you want one cable that carries audio, mic and volume control.
The H89 is the traditionalist's wired in-ear. It ends in a 3.5 mm plug, so it does not care whether your phone is old or new — it only cares whether the socket exists. BZINK builds it around an 11 mm PET polymer diaphragm dynamic driver, which is a large coil for an in-ear, and the company's own description leans hard into fuller bass, a wide sound field and clear vocals. Pair that with a 20 ohm impedance and 99 dB sensitivity and you have a set that a laptop or a cheap desktop jack can drive without straining.
The build is high-density PC plastic in white, in a bud shape, and BZINK ships three sets of soft eartips so you can actually match the tip to your ear canal. That matters more than any spec sheet line, because a sealed tip is what gives you the sound isolation the H89 claims. The housing is described as ultra-lightweight and ergonomic, worn without pressure, and the whole design story is about long sessions — school, PC, laptop, gaming, parties.
Who should buy it: students, desktop and laptop users, gamers on a 3.5 mm jack, anyone who wants a cheap-to-replace corded pair they can leave in a backpack. Who should skip it: anyone whose phone is USB-C only and who does not want to carry a dongle, and anyone who wants volume buttons on the cable — the H89's control is media control on a remote, not a volume rocker. If you are weighing cost, check the current price on Amazon rather than guessing, because the value math changes with your budget, not with the spec sheet.
The Yatloml TC610 is the opposite answer to the same question. It terminates in USB-C and carries a DAC chip inside, which means it takes the digital signal straight from your phone, tablet or laptop and converts it to analog itself. Yatloml states that the chip supports Hi-Res Audio and low-latency audio/video sync — the kind of claim that matters most when you are watching video on a phone with no headphone jack.
The driver is 10 mm, impedance is 32 ohm, sensitivity is 112 dB, and the frequency range runs the standard 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. That combination — higher impedance but much higher sensitivity — is typical of USB-C earphones designed to be driven by a phone's USB port rather than a dedicated amp. It also has a proper inline control module: push buttons for volume, play/pause, track skipping, call handling and voice assistant activation, plus a built-in HD microphone.
Two design details stand out. First, the earbuds are magnetic, so when you pull them out you can clip them together and wear them around your neck instead of stuffing them loose in a pocket. Second, the housing mixes ABS, metal and silicone, and Yatloml includes two extra silicone tips in small and large plus a storage bag. The compatibility list is the real headline: iPhone 15 and 16 families, iPad Pro and iPad Air, MacBook Air and Pro, Samsung Galaxy S22 through S25 including the Ultra and FE models, Note, the A-series, Z Fold and Z Flip, Google Pixel 4 through 9, and tablets with Type-C ports.
Who should buy it: USB-C phone and tablet owners who want one cable for everything, commuters who like the magnetic neck-hang trick, and anyone who takes calls and needs inline volume. Who should skip it: anyone still on a 3.5 mm-only device, and anyone who wants a straight analog connection with no chip in the path.
• Best for a 3.5 mm headphone jack → BZINK H89. It is the only one of the two that will physically plug in.
• Best for a USB-C phone or tablet with no headphone jack → Yatloml USB C Headphone. The DAC chip replaces the dongle you would otherwise need.
• Best for bigger driver → BZINK H89. 11 mm versus 10 mm, and BZINK leans on that for bass and a wide sound field.
• Best for higher sensitivity and louder output from a weak source → Yatloml USB C Headphone. 112 dB versus 99 dB.
• Best for inline volume control → Yatloml USB C Headphone. Push-button volume, play/pause, track skip and voice assistant.
• Best for tangle-free carrying → Yatloml USB C Headphone. Magnetic earbuds plus a storage bag.
• Best for tip fit options → a tie, with a nuance. BZINK includes three sets of soft eartips; Yatloml includes three total tips (one fitted, two extra in S and L).
• Best for a simple, dongle-free desktop setup → BZINK H89. PC, laptop and gaming use cases are exactly what it is aimed at.
• Best for iPhone 15/16 and modern iPad or MacBook → Yatloml USB C Headphone. That compatibility list is spelled out in the product data.
In my opinion, the Yatloml USB C Headphone is the one I would buy, and the reason is boring but decisive: most phones and tablets sold now are USB-C only, and a wired earphone that needs an adapter is a wired earphone you will stop carrying. The DAC chip, the inline volume buttons, the magnetic neck-hang and the storage bag make it the more complete everyday package. That said, if your main listening device is a desktop PC, a school laptop or anything with a real 3.5 mm jack, I would take the BZINK H89 — the larger 11 mm driver and 20 ohm impedance suit that setup better, and it never needs a dongle. Match the port, then buy.
FAQ
how to make wired earbuds stay in ear
how to put earbuds in your ear
Identify left and right first, then angle the bud slightly forward and down as you slide it in, rather than pushing straight at your ear. Both of these are bud-shaped, in-ear designs, so they are meant to sit inside the canal opening with the cable running down. A small twist as it seats usually gets a better seal than pushing harder.
how to keep earbuds in ears
Route the cable over your ear or under your chin so a snag does not yank the bud out, and consider the magnetic design on the Yatloml — when you remove them, the buds clip together and hang around your neck instead of swinging loose. If one side keeps slipping, that is a tip-size problem, not a product problem; swap to a larger tip.
No, and the specs suggest why. The BZINK H89 uses an 11 mm PET polymer diaphragm with 20 ohm impedance and 99 dB sensitivity, tuned per BZINK for richer bass and a wide sound field. The Yatloml uses a 10 mm dynamic driver with 32 ohm impedance, 112 dB sensitivity and its own DAC chip, which Yatloml says supports Hi-Res Audio. Different driver sizes, different signal paths, different results.
