Can I use Apple earbuds with UR12

I’m trying to do a podcast, but I am having issues hearing myself speak, even with the Direct Monitor turned on. Also, there is a lot of static when I turn up the volume while listening to the playback. Could these these issues be attributed to the headphones?

Aloha S, and welcome to the board. E’ Komo Mai!

Unless they are broken I very much doubt it
but if you try a different set, of phones that might answer your question.

In any event, even if the phones are fine, IMHO I cannot think of a worse piece of gear
than those white Apple earbuds.

I say: get a decent set of phones.

My 2cents.

Good Luck!
