Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones.
The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximise sound output and minimise sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
The EarPods also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
Packaging is now plastic-free.

Underrated Classics That I Still Trust After 10+ Years
Despite owning the latest Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation, USB-C) â which are brilliant in their own right â I keep coming back to these humble Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector. Iâve bought them repeatedly for over a decade, and honestly, I canât imagine not having a pair nearby. Lightweight, simple, and more comfortable than most modern alternatives, especially for one specific use: sleep.While AirPods Pro offer incredible noise cancellation and wireless convenience, I find them unsuitable for overnight use. I sleep on my side, and the pressure from bulky buds can quickly cause ear soreness or dislodge them. The EarPods, on the other hand, rest so lightly in the ear that I barely feel them, even when my headâs on a very soft latex pillow. The flat shape doesnât press deep into the ear canal, making them ideal for hours of use without discomfort.Of course, sleeping with earphones is something I researched thoroughly. To do it safely, I follow a strict hygiene routine. After every use, I spray the ear tips and mesh grilles with isopropyl alcohol from a small atomiser bottle, wipe them gently, and let them dry. I also regularly clean my ears, avoid excess wax build-up, and switch sleeping sides during the night for balance. It’s a habit built over years and has never caused any irritation or infection.Functionally, EarPods still hold up. The audio is clean, vocals are crisp, and the inline remote is responsive and intuitive. Thereâs no battery to worry about, no Bluetooth pairing faff, and no signal drops. Plug in, press play, done. For podcasts, audiobooks, or ambient sounds through the night â theyâre perfect. The Lightning connector is also more secure for sleep use than USB-C variants, which can wiggle loose.Sure, theyâre not audiophile-grade, and they wonât blow you away with bass. But for nightly use, long listening sessions, or minimalist convenience, I canât think of a better wired earphone. Theyâve never failed me. Iâll continue to buy them for as long as Apple makes them. Quietly brilliant â and entirely dependable.

Cheap but great earphones
Given these earphones 4/5. These are the basic usb-c headphones for anything usb-c related but I’ve been using them on my iPhone and MacBook Air. They are super cheap but the audio quality is great. They are lightweight, so not annoying in your ear. Connecting to my MacBook Air by usb c also allows for the volume control to work.The only downside is that I have to keep adjusting the earphones to sit in my ears. But once sat down and working away, the earphones dont move and the music still sounds amazing, for a pair of £19 earphones!Only reason I got these as I have a pair of Jabra 85T and they annoy me for long periods due to a tiny hiss and they make my ears itch a little due to the rubber.I’m glad I got these.

Would be a better product with noise cancelling
Sound quality is good but poor to no noise cancelling function. As itâs hard wired itâs friendly to your phones battery life. Over the years the design has evolved a little. Not as comfortable as air pods

Undoubtedly the best
Apple’s own ear pods are undoubtedly the best! Others I have tried I always have to ‘connect’! I use the ‘plug in’ ones.

Will only work with Apple products – be aware!
I didn’t know that they only work with Apple products, probably my fault for not checking properly or simply not realising. I got them to use with a mixing desk for my small on-stage monitor and they aren’t compatible with the normal 3.5mm outlet. Appears that Apple plugs have 4 sections and these don’t line up properly with non-Apple sockets…Ironically my iPhone 15 doesn’t work with wired headphones (without an adapter…more expense). They do work with my iPad pro gen 2 though, and they sound great!

High quality earbuds, perhaps the best in class for this type. Clear sound, crisp conversations. Recognized by Windows as well. Please note, not if you want noise cancellation or deep bass.

Li conoscono tutti, li hanno usati tutti almeno una volta⦠e ci sarà un motivo. Comodi da portare ovunque, li infili in tasca al volo e quando servono ci sono sempre. Lâaudio è pulito, i bassi non spaccano i vetri ma ci stanno, e per ascoltare musica in giro o rispondere a una chiamata mentre sei in movimento vanno più che bene.Il microfono si sente chiaro anche se sei per strada, e con il connettore L non devi stare a cercare adattatori o soluzioni strane. Li attacchi e via.Perfetti per chi si muove tanto, tra bus, metro o a piedi in città . Nessun fronzolo, solo roba che funziona sempre quando serve.Se vuoi stare leggero e senza pensieri, questi ancora oggi fanno la loro figura.

This are seriously the best earbuds you can get without spending a fortune! I can’t believe they were less than 20 euros â that’s an absolute steal!Honestly, for that price, the sound quality is incredible. Everything sounds so clear and rich, whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls. I was expecting them to sound tinny or cheap, but they’re surprisingly amazing.They also feel really durable. I’m not exactly the most careful person with my gadgets, but these seem like they can handle a bit of rough handling. Plus, they’re so light, I barely even notice I’m wearing them, which is a huge plus when I’m listening for a long time.Seriously, if you’re looking for a fantastic pair of earbuds and you don’t want to break the bank, you absolutely have to check out these Apple AirPods. They’re the best product Apple makes, hands down, especially at this price point. Amazing sound, durable, and super light â I couldn’t ask for more!
