Mic is to loud and makes noises

[[Member Blac…]]

Hi there,

I recently  bought apple earpods cause some say they are the best budget wise. So I heard a lot people sing with these and they really sound great. But after I plugged my in via an USBC adapter to my Samsung S20 I noticed static and klicking noises while singing and it seams the mic catches the music to the mic because when I hear the music somewhat loud the static noise comes with the music. Now after you sing there is this bar on the top with the voice visualised ( don't know how to call that) and this bar is on max. There is no up or down in the voice, it seems like the mic is too loud.

Is there a chance that these earpods are fake or is it the Adapter? Or is there an workaround?

Thx for your help 🙂

Really hard to say. 
Where did you buy the earpods? If you just ordered them from Amazon, there is indeed a chance they are fake. 
Otherwise I would suggest to narrow down the problem by switching the individual components, like trying a different headphone set with the same adapter or trying the same earpods on someone else’s phone.

So I just bought another adapter and it seams that the problem with the loudness is solved but we'll listen.. maybe I'm to picky but I think the static is not right with this mic, at least when I hear this mic on other singers.

Edit: and yes bought them from Amazon

Good chance they are fake then. 
It’s better to order them from Apple directly or buy them at at a local Saturn/MediaMarkt in Germany.
