Our take on the Apple EarPods Headphones with Lightning Connector

Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector are wired earbuds that plug straight into the charging port on Lightning iPhones and iPads. Their plastic earpieces are shaped to the ear rather than round, which many people find more comfortable and more stable than classic bud designs. They have no battery and no pairing, so they work the moment you plug them in, and the inline remote and microphone handle calls, volume and Siri. Against wireless earbuds they give up noise isolation and cable-free use, but they need no charging and cost far less than AirPods.

About the Apple EarPods Headphones with Lightning Connector

Apple EarPods are wired earbud-style headphones with a Lightning connector. Their design follows the geometry of the ear instead of the traditional circular ear bud shape. The speakers inside are engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss.

A built-in remote on the cord adjusts the volume, controls playback of music and video, and answers or ends calls with a pinch of the cord. An integrated microphone captures your voice on phone calls and FaceTime calls, and when you use Siri.

EarPods work with devices that have a Lightning connector and support iOS 10 or later, including iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. They also work with iPad models running iPadOS.

Questions and answers

Do these work with iPhone 15 or other USB-C devices?
No. They use a Lightning plug, so they fit Lightning iPhones and iPads only. iPhone 15 and later use USB-C and need a different connector or an adapter.
Do they need charging or Bluetooth pairing?
No. They draw power from the device through the Lightning port and start working as soon as they are plugged in.
Can I use the remote and microphone on a Mac?
Only on Macs with a Lightning port, which are rare. On a Mac with USB-C or a headphone jack, use the appropriate EarPods version instead.
How do they compare with AirPods?
AirPods are wireless and add noise cancellation on some models, but they need charging and cost much more. EarPods never run out of battery and stay connected to the phone.
Is the fit good for small or large ears?
The earpieces are one size, shaped to sit in the ear rather than seal it. Many people find them comfortable, but fit varies and they can loosen during exercise.
What is in the box?
Just the EarPods with the inline remote and microphone. No adapter, case or spare tips are included.
