Apple EarPods Headphones with 3.5mm Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume

I use these mainly for work and they’ve been super reliable. The sound quality is clear enough for calls and videos, and the mic works well without any issues. They’re lightweight, comfortable to wear for longer periods, and easy to just plug in and use without worrying about charging. I also like that they’re straightforward and consistent, no connection issues like you sometimes get with wireless earbuds. Overall, just a solid and dependable option if you need something simple for everyday use.

Wanted basic earbuds to use when I can’t use Bluetooth or usb c and these fit well, sound fine, and are cheap.

When it arrived, it was packaged well, and hasn’t been broken since. I regularly use it when I need to connect my adapter on my phone to use this EarPods to listen my music or watch videos. Although, the compatibility was better on my switch lite and It works great, which I never knew my switch could work for my apple earpods. Quality was great.

I grabbed these Apple EarPods with the 3.5mm plug a few weeks back and they’ve quickly become my daily go-to headphones. With my iPhone and iPad both on USB-C now, I still wanted a solid pair of wired buds that don’t need charging or Bluetooth fuss. These classic white ones with the old-school jack fit the bill perfectly and have been a lifesaver for practical, no-nonsense listening. Right out of the box they feel super light and comfortable—slipped straight into my ears with no weird pressure. The fit is snug enough for most people (including me) and the remote control on the cable is a game-changer. Volume up/down, pause/play, and skip tracks all work flawlessly with my phone or laptop. I use them every morning on the Riyadh metro commute; pop them in, fire up Spotify or a podcast, and the sound is clear and balanced. Vocals come through crisp, there’s decent bass for the price, and it’s loud enough without distortion. No battery anxiety means they’re always ready when I’m stuck in traffic or running late. The mic is probably my favorite practical feature. I take a ton of hands-free calls while driving around the city—traffic here can be brutal—and people on the other end say I sound crystal clear, even with the AC blasting or windows down. No more shouting into my phone or dealing with Bluetooth dropouts. At work I plug them straight into my MacBook for long video meetings or when I’m editing reports and need to focus without disturbing the office. The wired connection means zero lag and full audio quality every single time. Travel is another big win. I tossed them in my bag for a quick weekend trip and they saved me multiple times—airport layovers for watching shows, hotel gym sessions (they stay put better than I expected for light workouts), and even just chilling in the car with the aux cable. They’re tiny, lightweight, and the cable is long enough to reach comfortably without tangling up in my pocket. In Riyadh’s heat they never feel sticky or uncomfortable like some bulkier headphones do. Sound-wise they’re not audiophile level, but for everyday use they punch above their weight—music feels lively, podcasts are easy to follow, and movies have good dialogue separation. They work with pretty much any 3.5mm device I’ve tried, from my old iPod to my laptop. Noise isolation isn’t amazing (you’ll still hear the metro announcements), but that’s actually handy when I need to stay aware of my surroundings. Yeah, they can slip out if you’re running hard or shaking your head a lot, and the build feels a bit basic, but after daily use they’re still going strong with zero issues. For the price they deliver reliable, hassle-free audio that brings my wired gear back to life. If you want simple, always-ready earbuds that excel at real-life tasks like commuting, calls, and quick entertainment, these Apple EarPods are a no-brainer. Five stars—grab a pair and thank me later!

So, I was quite surprised to find this item once again as I have a VERY old pair that I've been using. Now how old you may ask try over 10plus years. It's insane to me that they're now only about 15 bucks vs the 40 i use to pay at a Walmart for a pair so long ago. After getting the two i bought i immediately unboxed one and plugged them in. The audio quality was SOOO much better than my older ones. For the older pair i had to turn the volume almost max to hear anything now with these it sits about 25%. Now these earphones may not be for everyone but for me however these are fantastic. Maybe it has something to do with how my ear is shaped or something, but I CANNOT stand having something inside of my ear. These sit comfortably outside of my ear cannel I personally have never had them fall out of my ear or anything to that sort heck I even biked with them on and they never fell out. The controls are the main reason i bought these and have kept them around for so long. You can push once to play and stop, double push to skip a song, and triple to go back a song heck you can even double push and hold to skim through a song. As for sturdiness, I've only ever really broken these when I stepped on them after getting out of a car and that's when I've forgotten they're in my lap. My old ones of 10yrs+ are still in one piece so I'm not too sure what people are doing to break theirs but mine are still in one piece even now.

UPDATE: Today I accidentally sheared the jack off of these headphones -- the metal portion of the jack split in half when I accidentally swiped the cord. Normally the jack just pops out of the headphone connector, but this time half of the jack got stuck in the headphone port, so I had to disassemble my laptop and retrieve the audio input chip. Thankfully the jack itself is easy to push out from the other side with a plastic spudger. Popped right out, laptop is A-OK, all audio functions intact. I have absolutely NOT EVER had any other headphone jack break in half, in my ENTIRE LIFE. This could indicate build quality issues; Wired headphones are less important to Apple these days. Or maybe I just got unlucky and this sort of hardware breakage could happen to anyone. Anyway, this pair of EarPods lasted about three months. Audio quality was as expected until I snapped the jack in half with my sasquatch arms. I am ordering another pair because the price is right -- especially compared to similar (lower-quality) earbuds available at big box stores for $25 or even $40. If you want dirt-cheap wired earbuds that are easily replaceable, EarPods are still a no-brainer, even after all these years. Original Review: Adequate headphones. Mostly reliable. Very capable of supplying rumbling bass and crisp treble on a wide soundstage, however the in-ear angle is often not correct for most frequencies to travel uninhibited. You need earbud covers for these to stay in place, and even then you have to adjust the earbuds juuuuuust right to enjoy quality audio. I often need to press the earbuds slightly forward or backward when I want the most from my mobile music. For the most part, Apple EarPods will sound a bit tinny, with better-than-average bass response provided you use earbud covers. If you jostle the earbuds a bit and hold them in place they will perform well. Durability is iffy because of one weakpoint: After about a year of constant use, the wires break down near the Y-junction where left and right earbuds join together. The rubber pulls free of its housing at the Y-junction. After this happens, it is very easy to accidentally introduce static electricity into the internals. I've zapped three pairs of headphones in three years by moving a large blanket around. This is usually how I find out the rubber is compromised. Cost of repairs tends to exceed cost of purchasing a new unit, which is a definite plus for budget headphones that sound pretty good.

I loved! Clean and loud sound

These headphones sound phenomenal compared to Walmart earbuds and other cheaper headphones I have tried. They arrived in 1hr and 40 min to my house from ordering! Great shipping time!

Los clásicos audífonos blancos de Apple, llevo un año con ellos y me han funcionado excelente, tienen buen audio. Me parece que ahora los hacen más resistentes porque el otro día los jale fuerte sin querer y siguen como si nada. Un poco caros pero son de calidad. Los recomiendo.

I’m so glad I decided to get my earbuds directly from Apple because it’s truly an investment—and not even a big one—considering how long they last! The quality is excellent, and unlike cheaper alternatives, these actually hold up over time without any issues. The sound is crisp, the connection is seamless, and they just work the way they’re supposed to. On top of that, they have a sleek, cutesy design that makes them even more enjoyable to use. Whether for music, calls, or just everyday convenience, they get the job done perfectly. If you’re debating whether to buy from the original source, I say go for it—it’s 100% worth it!

The EarPods are perfect. They work as described.

Perfectos. Los uso para el trabajo y son muy buenos para llamadas, tanto el audio como la calidad del micrófono están excelentes.

Me atrevería a decir que el mejor producto de Apple. Con buen sonido, potencia, bajos, e incluso si se conectan a un iphone con su adaptador conserva la calidad Dobly Atmos.
