Earbuds do not work, not eligible for return

When I plug these earbuds in, I can hear a periodic loud beep coming from the headphones so I know that they can transmit noise, but my iPhone 8 does not recognize them. I plug them into the lightning port while my music is playing and the music continues to go through the phone speakers, no sound at all is transmitted through the earbuds from my phone. I can’t find them via Bluetooth, I’ve tried on multiple phones, so they are useless. The item is ineligible for exchange or return, so I’m out $12. Don’t waste your money
