Description
About this item SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones. HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio. BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug 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. COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port. INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

Sturdy and work great
I always keep a pair of wired ear buds handy since Bluetooth connections can be iffy. These have survived being stuffed in my purse or in airplane seat backs without a problem.

Real apple brand EarPods
Don’t know why or how my wife keeps losing these since they are connected to the phone, but she likes them and they are priced well and authentic apple earpods. She has wireless ones too, uses these in bed or on the couch.

Works well and very durable!!
I bought these because after using my Bluetooth ear buds for an extended amount of time I was getting ear pain. These are my favorite corded earbuds.- use it for calls and people can hear me clearly- music comes in clear and loud- buttons are simple and easy to use – comfortable in the ear- easy to clean- I’ve accidentally washed my earbuds in the washer MORE than once and they STILL WORK!- I fold and bend them to squeeze them in my purse and pocket and the cord hasn’t broken or exposed the wire

Still my go to iphone headphones
I’ve tried lots of different cordless headphone options but these are still my go to – I don’t like having to worry about keeping headphones charged for when I need them and these have never let me down and they also tend to last a really long time for me.

Best valued apple product
It works flawlessly on my USB-C Apple device and my workplace PC where it has an USB C 3.0. Sound quality is great. Built quality is Apple standard. This is the best Apple product you can buy for less than $20. Would recommend to anyone who needs a spare wired EarPod.

Back to Basics iPhone Headphones.
I prefer earphones without any “mechanics” built in. I’ve purchased and have used wireless (iPods), as well.These are comfortable in my ear, and easy to listen to.Sure the cord gets in the way sometimes. That’s to be expected.Solid value. I recommend this product.

Works as intended for the price
For the older Apple products that still utilize the specialized plug, these will work as intended. Though it’s definitely not ideal to not have the connector port free, sometimes it’s preferable to have cabled earbuds as opposed to the wireless option that can fall out and get lost easier.

Best Apple value
The usb c ear buds sound better than my AirPods Pro. I always keep a wired pair of headphones in my bag and I just like the way apple ear buds fit plus the usb c buds support lossless audio. They really sound good.

These are great quality
I love these. The quality of sound is great. I listen to music or nature sounds to fall asleep. This style of ear bud can be uncomfortable to lie on my side, however this is the only style of ear bud I like. This brand has great sound quality and I am very happy I bought them.

Works great!
Because it is an Apple product, these USB-C EarPods work perfectly with my iPhone 15 and M1 iPad. I can contact Siri, manage telephone calls, control the sound level, and skip music forward or back, pause, and fast forward or reverse with the rocker switch, which is on the right side line. The magnificent sound has deep base, excellent middles, and defined highs. If you are frustrated by the short battery life of Blue Tooth ear buds, and do not want to hassle with constantly charging them and keeping track of the charging case, buy this great sounding, easy to use and reliable wired EarPods.

cant go wrong with wires
i had these EarPods for about a 4 months and they held up pretty well, they are earpods so they eventually do end up broken quick. the sound quality is solid and surprisingly they have good bass. i have no complaints and was very happy with my purchase.

Works as Expected.
I purchased for a friend that refuses to move forward in technological advancements and clings to a flip-phone. When I found out is a 3.5mm port I insisted that he use these when he’s on the bus heading to his doctor’s appointments etc. He can’t stop thanking me. I hear him and he hears me and others extremely well, much more audible than holding the phone to his head.

Lost my AirPods these are a fine replacement
Recently lost my AirPod pros and couldn’t justify buying them again because damn they’re expensive. Found these, surprisingly they are authentic apple wired headphones. Love it. Happy to have something that works and is of quality. Definitely won’t hurt as much if I lose these either

Excellent Sound Quality
The short version is I needed a wired headset to connect to my iPhone to dial into my radio show.I found these – a real Apple product – and ordered. I was so pleased with how easy these were to plug and play, so to speak. The audio quality is quite remarkable considering it’s not a fancy broadcast microphone or headset (which I’m used to using). The playback sounded clear and it was easy to hear everything I needed to. Highly recommend.

Performed fine, but not compatible with Motorola Edge + 2023
These worked fine with a Samsung A54 5G, but when I switched to my new Edge, they would not work. First I thought my new phone had an issue, but with a bit or research, discovered that USB-C ear buds are not universally compatible. Again, fine with a Samsung, no issues, just didn’t play well with Motorola.

The best – USB-C model works on everything
Hands down the best. Seriously. 15 years for these things and their better then any AirPod. Why?The Mic. It works. It’s clear. People can hear me. So crucial!!Works on everything. Seriously. Mac. windows. Linux. iPhone. android. Just works. Zoom calls. teams calls. People can hear you!! No batteries to charge and Lossless audio!!!Sound is good. Could be better but you can wear these all the day everyday.Buy them while Apple still makes them. I got 10x pair on hand. Best product Apple makes.

Works great
I have a Samsung S22 Ultra and wanted to have a set of wired headphones to listen to music or stream movies and show, I tried multiple headphones and they all seem to failed somehow, either the sound was horrible or they will break easily. I love the Apple headphones as is durable, fits on my ear and the sounds is good (could be better sound wise).

Works great! I have a little trouble with one ear because of the size of the earpiece but overall they should fit great. Sound is perfect and great for us SE iPhones that don’t have an earphone jack input. Apple seems to make everything way too hard to find cables, wires, adapters, etc. for!

Ran through the washing machine
I’ve run these through the washing machine by mistake, balled them up and shoved them in my purse and pockets, snagged them on stuff, and accidentally let my phone dangle from them when phone dropped out of my pocket, yet, …… they still work. They are starting to get a little short in them, but I’ve been abusing them for 11 months now and they’ve done great. They are WELL WORTH THE MONEY.I’m NOT saying these are waterproof, but they can stand an insane amount of abuse.

game changer
Bought these for my work computer that requires USB-C headphone/mic. I’ve gone through multiple other headphone/mic kits for my travel computer but they either fit poorly or the sound quality for me or the rest of the team is terrible. As soon as apple put these on the market and at a reasonable price no less, I bought and put to use. They travel well and have changed my online engagements.

Great earphones that keep going for years
I had a pair of these which served me for over six years when finally there was a small cut in the cable. I bought it again to replace the broken one. These are a benchmark in the segment in my opinion. Sound is clear and flat. It’s so popular that it needs no introduction or review in my opinion.

Awesome earbuds!
I love my Apple Airpods, but they kept dying during back-to-back online meetings. These wired Earpods have the same fit and sound quality without worrying about how much charge is left. I would not say they are noise-cancelling, which is one reason I love them. I can keep one earbud in all the time and still hear what’s going on around me.

Old Reliables
These are your old, reliable headphones, never failing to serve their purpose! The Apple sound quality is very clear and audible. They’re pretty comfy for my ears, though sometimes the shape is annoying. If you don’t like the shape, a better option would be to get the headphones with an added bud. The only major caveat is their ability to get tangled together, which is reasonable for wired headphones.

Best Sound for a Reasonable Price
I have a boat-load of earbuds & earphones including Apple KNOCK-OFFS yet coming back and paying this much just for a spare pair of GENUINE Apple EarBuds are an indication of how great they are.This model isn’t entirely noise cancelling… but since I only wear them when I’m out & about, I opt for staying aware of my surroundings.If noise cancellation is your thing, no worries, just get the Apple Buds that fit tighter in your ear opening.

Exactly What I Ordered
I like these headphones for work. They are not noise cancelling so I can hear around me, but since they are white and can be seen clearly, when I am using them people know not to talk to me. Also, I can use these on the airplane since they have an aux cord.

Good replacement
I bought this set of wired earbuds to replace my original set that came with my iPhone. They work perfectly. I use them mostly to listen to audio books. I like how I can increase/decrease the levels in such small increments. I bought an off brand that went from zero sound to about 80 decibels with the first click and were completely unusable and painful. These earbuds are so much better.

Perfect for everyday use
These apple EarPods are great for everyday use, and very durable. I’ve purchased cheaper earbuds in the past for my kid, which usually don’t last her for more than a month. I decided to invest a little more in this Apple product, and to my amazement they are still working great. The noise cancellation and sound quality are perfect for listening to music or taking calls. This is a product that I would definitely purchase again.

Stock Apple EarPods – as expect, not bad, not great
So, the Apple EarPods are pretty straightforward and work okay for casual listening. They’re comfy, but they’re not the best when it comes to blocking out noise since they have this open design. So, don’t expect to zone out in loud places, especially for your commute. On the plus side, they’re super portable and easy to use – just pop them in your pocket. They also give you decent sound, although the bass might be a bit lacking. One thing to note is that they’re not great for running, unlike the Apple AirPods, which are truly wireless. So, for everyday listening, they’re not too shabby.

Android USB-C Users – This is the headphones you’ve been looking for!
I’ve bought wireless headphone. At least five sets of them. Many were crap. Or they are hiding under the bed. I have no desire to find them.Then I bought USB-C headphone, still more crap, the microphone quality was bad or they were too dang thin to carry sound properly. I can find those but meh.For $20 you can get the Apple USB-C headphone. The call quality is very good. Callers will not ask you to repeat what you said. And you can listen to music and podcasts comfortably. Now the shape of the ear piece might be an issue for some. It is to me so I don’t use them hours at a time. But when I need to make a call or create voice memo it works like a champ.

Classic Earbuds
-Im a tiny girl and it fits perfectly in my ear. Comfortable to leave in all the time even without music. I can blast music loud enough so that I can’t hear the world around me while listening to Phoebe Bridges.-Volume is perfect for any scenario from trying to drown out someone yelling at you, or listening to quiet background music while talking to someone.-Pause button and controls for volumes are great for listening to someone was gossiping behind you, but you don’t want to make it obvious.-I use a lighting adapter too, and I never take it off.It does get tangled, but if you wrap it correctly around your hands it won’t happen as much.My Wayget the two buds and set it between your thumb and index crevis on your nondominant hand then wrap it clockwise leaving space between every wrap. At the end close your hand slightly, jumble it together, and stuff it in your pocket. Hope for the best.

Superb audio quality and built-in Spatial Audio for only $19
The main reason I purchased them cause I noticed that they are lossless and Spatial Audio ready for only $19 wow, Great value.The only bad thing about them that they need something rubber maybe to prevent them from sliding in your ears while listening.One most important part, I used them with windows PC and Windows laptop through usb-c port, you will see new settings for the earpods. In the speakers icon right click and manage sound settings or go to control panel and go to sound settings.The quality is beautiful, I tried Spatial Audio test on YouTube too, Works like a charm.I will try to plug them to my meta quest 2 virtual reality headset and see if they work, I don’t see why not.One disappointment that I purchased a lightning male to usb-c female MFI (Made for iPhone, iPad and iPod) certified adapter, I wasn’t able to hear any sound off of my iPhone 12 Pro Max, Which was my main reason to buy them.EarPods lightning are not Spatial Audio capable, That’s why I chose the usb-c version.But since they are USB-C basically you can use them on any android smart phone that has usb-c and enjoy the high quality music, I never tried but usb-c is one of the best inventions of all time, Game changer.Thank you Apple, And thank you Amazon for making it available to be shipped and received same day not prime.Attach your Venmo to Amazon they will give you an instant $5 off first time you use Venmo as a payment method. I think promotional period, This way same day shipping was $9.99 I paid $4.99 for shipping cause of the Venmo first time credit.It’s a must buy earpods a.k.a headphones as most people get confused, Apple is too complicated with their names.One more thing, You will need to contact Apple via call or chat (Chat preferably) to register them and update purchase date to activate manufacturer warranty.Enjoy it

Inexpensive low-end headphones that punch WAY above their weight.
As a lifelong Windows/Android guy, the Apple Earpods are my all-time favorite earbud. They sound fantastic when compared against other options at their price bracket. I find them quite comfortable, and their design results in pretty cromulent bass for their size.The packaging for these has been changed since their original release over a decade ago. The first versions of these came in a plastic case, which was great for portability as it gave you a safe way to keep them in your pocket while minimizing the risk of damage. These are now packaged in a paperboard box that is clearly meant to be thrown away once you remove the earbuds. While this move makes sense from a sustainability and production cost standpoint, it’s an unfortunate one for the user. The old packaging being able to double as a case was a fantastic value add.The wires are a bit thin, but they seem to hold up well to abuse. I have a bad habit of playing with the wire while I listen to music and so far I have not managed to kill these after a couple years of this habit. The thinness makes them easy to fit into a pocket and they have held up well, so perhaps the thinness isn’t a big deal from a durability standpoint.These are acoustically quite similar to the original model of Airpods. Due to their ability to play lossless audio, these *technically* are capable of slightly higher sound quality than Airpods, but a casual listener in a noisy environment likely won’t know the difference – if you have used Airpods and like them, these are basically the same except with no dependence on bluetooth or a battery and, in my opinion, slightly more comfortable due to their thinner stems that don’t need to accommodate batteries and bluetooth radios.I’m not an Apple guy, but I keep coming back to these. I’ve used generic earbuds that try to clone the design, I’ve used Pixel Buds, I’ve used Galaxy Buds, but these are still my favorite and at $20 I’ve yet to find a better value for the money

Best “Ear” Pods for what I do…
I like that they are small, no battery, nothing extra, and they work well. I didn’t have luck using them with my Pixel 6 Pro but they are flawless on my 2018 MBP. Microphone can challenge stand alone Mics at this low price. If you do phone meetings, teams mettings, zoom, or whatever that doesn’t require wireless, do yourself the favor and just use these. Perfect for use case. Also, grab some rubber ear holder things, these get slippery. It’d be nice if they could offer up colors on these at least.

Appreciate wired earbuds. You trust them when you need them the most.
Honestly I keep going back to these as I always liked to use my wired earbuds when on the go or in general with my smartphone. Plug and play is seamless!Yeah it’s great to use bluetooth earbuds / headphones, but nothing beads wired which a lot will vouch for most things in general. Say if your BT headphones died and you needed to use it, having wired earbuds are so trusty and reliable. It sucks phones now removed the headphone jack so you’re forced to get bluetooth earbuds but at least there exists usb-c earbuds or adapters so something you can trust. I like having this around in my purse or in my desk wherever I need it.To each their own, I liked using both. I like having choices to use this or that so getting this was a no brainer. same for usb-c for other devices. great for calls, music, and has controls.

Exceptional Sound Quality and Comfort
I recently purchased a pair of EarPods, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I put them in my ears, I was blown away by the exceptional sound quality and comfort they provided.The EarPods deliver crystal-clear audio with rich bass and precise clarity. Whether I’m listening to my favorite music, watching a movie, or taking calls, the sound reproduction is impeccable.

I will continue to buy
What I like: Sure they are more expensive than many other kinds. But I’ve tried some others and these are the best, at least for me. Best sound quality, best in long lasting. Good fit.What I wish was different: I wish they would make a few other colors or at least one more, so my cord doesnt get confused with others, and so that I can keep a cord designated one for bedroom, one for office, one for travel, without getting them mixed up in the wrong places.
