Are there EarBuds that works with iPad?

I am traveling, forgot my AirPods, don’t want to buy new ones. I have an iPad Pro (7th generation) and would like to find some earbuds to use until I get home. Is that possible? Is the port a USBc? My daughter gave me earbuds to use with my iPhone 13 but they won’t work with the iPad. Help.

Hi mommorow,

(Re: Is the port a USBc?


Depends on the iPad Pro model.


Eg: for iPad Pro Models with a Lightning connector

    • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st and 2nd generation)
    • iPad Pro 10.5-inch
    • iPad Pro 9.7-inch

 iPad models that have a USB-C port: 

  • iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation or later)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later)


If needed:

It is likely that any local electronics store would be able to advise on inexpensive compatible earbuds / adaplters


Hope this helps :-)
