USB-C earbuds, The shape of the ear determines the EarPods' design, in contrast to conventional, round earbuds. This means that more people find them more comfortable than other earbud-style headphones. High-quality audio is provided by the EarPods' speakers, which are designed to optimize sound output and reduce sound loss. With a pinch of the cord, you can answer or end calls, control music and video playback, and adjust the volume with the built-in remote control that comes with the EarPods with Lightning Connector.
