All earphones/headphones which use the standard 3.5 mm audio jack should be working. However only buy the ones from trusted brands like SkullCandy, JBL and Sennheiser. Moreover do checkout the ratings before buying. If you're buying it online I'd recommend Amazon and Flipkart (but yea, make sure the seller has a rating of at least 3.5 stars) According to me, the Sennheiser CX180 Street II are good enough. (my friend bought them)

Moto G4 Plus Headphones Issue

Many G4 Plus owners have had an issue with headphones/earphones not working or playing only on 1 side. Check this Lenovo forum thread starting on page 3. I had the problem (1 side only) and after making sure the jack was fully inserted, I put the phone in safe mode (with the jack kept in). Worked fine in safe mode. Rebooted and has worked perfectly since, about 9 months ago. Note: As a new XDA member I'm not allowed to post outside links so Google the issue and find the Lenovo forum thread. Hope this helps.

The earphones which i tried from my friend are genuine and he bought from Amazon(Skullcandy and jbl above 1k.dont know their model name) works perfectly on samsung,Lumia and some other phones but not working on moto g4 plus as i've tried them.and on the other hand i also took sony xb50ap and cowon em1 earphones from my brother and they work fine in my g4+.dont know what is the problem with the phone or ear phones. Some company models are working and some not.

I think im not having the issue of earphone sound only coming from 1 side. but some of the branded companies headphones (like skullcandy, JBL) which are genuine are not working at all as there is no sound coming from them and on other devices it just working perfectly with great sound. I don't know if its device fault or if its headphones fault.
