I got earbuds with a 3.5mm connector. What gives?

Sprint probably borked it up. The carriers repackage devices in their own carrier branded packaging. Sprint probably had leftover earbuds from the S10 packaging.

Thankfully that doesn't happen in the uk.

Every review and unboxing video I've seen shows the included earbuds with a USB-C connector.

I got my Note 10+ through Sprint if that makes a difference?

Wow so sorry to hear that. I also have Sprint and I placed my order online and my included earbuds came with a USB C connector.

I'm specifically asking if anyone else with Sprint got hosed with 3.5 mm earbuds?

I have Sprint and mine came with the proper ear buds.

I went into the store the other day and they were as baffled as I was. The rep went into the back and crabbed the correct headphones out of another box and gave them to me without issue.

I wonder if my phone was in of the earlier shipments. Didn't Samsung make the headphone change last minute?

Either way, it's all good now. Thanks for the responses everyone.

As long as you're happy that's what matters.

I have Sprint. I picked mine up on the day it was delivered to the store. I watched the guy open the box. They didn't repackage anything.

As far as I know, only ATT does this in the US.

Verizon S10s had different internal packaging than others

I have a pair of Galaxy Buds so I haven't even looked at the included earbuds. Since I'm on Sprint and bought a Sprint Note 10+, I'm going to go check the box now...

I looked over the contents of mine just to see how they change up the look etc of the ear buds but I never take them out if the transit packaging.
