Apple OEM Wired EarPods With 3.5mm Headphone Plug
Apple's EarPods with a 3.5mm headphone plug offer a familiar and no-fuss solution. They ditch the bulk of traditional headphones for a lightweight design that conforms to the shape of your ear. Let's explore what these EarPods bring to the table in terms of specs and functionality.
Note: Apple no longer includes EarPods with iPhones in the box, but they are still available for purchase separately. Plus, newer iPhones, starting with iPhone 7, lack a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you'd need a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter to use these EarPods with them.
- Design: Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, EarPods are designed to follow the geometry of the ear. Apple claims this design provides a comfortable fit for many users.
- Audio: The speakers inside the EarPods are engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss.
- Remote: Built-in remote lets you adjust volume, control music, and video playback, and answer or end calls (functionality may vary by device).
- Compatibility: Works with devices that have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
- Other features: No Bluetooth pairing required, built-in microphone, reported to have richer bass tones.
