Apple EarPods (USB-C) ​​​​​​​

Simple and effective. I purchased these earphones for a recent holiday and I’m glad I did. No faffing about with charging cables and straight forward controls that we all remember. Great voice quality when using for calls and the fit is as expected. The colour isn’t really an issue but you know it’s an apple product, buy the look.Highly recommended for a cheap option and no batteries required.

Really good quality and functionality. I used this for doing a voice over on my YouTube video and I’m impressed with the microphone quality. Good value for money. Volume control is also fantastic.

Given these earphones 4/5. These are the basic usb-c headphones for anything usb-c related but I've been using them on my iPhone and MacBook Air. They are super cheap but the audio quality is great. They are lightweight, so not annoying in your ear. Connecting to my MacBook Air by usb c also allows for the volume control to work.The only downside is that I have to keep adjusting the earphones to sit in my ears. But once sat down and working away, the earphones dont move and the music still sounds amazing, for a pair of £19 earphones!Only reason I got these as I have a pair of Jabra 85T and they annoy me for long periods due to a tiny hiss and they make my ears itch a little due to the rubber.I'm glad I got these.

Despite owning the latest Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation, USB-C) — which are brilliant in their own right — I keep coming back to these humble Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector. I’ve bought them repeatedly for over a decade, and honestly, I can’t imagine not having a pair nearby. Lightweight, simple, and more comfortable than most modern alternatives, especially for one specific use: sleep.While AirPods Pro offer incredible noise cancellation and wireless convenience, I find them unsuitable for overnight use. I sleep on my side, and the pressure from bulky buds can quickly cause ear soreness or dislodge them. The EarPods, on the other hand, rest so lightly in the ear that I barely feel them, even when my head’s on a very soft latex pillow. The flat shape doesn’t press deep into the ear canal, making them ideal for hours of use without discomfort.Of course, sleeping with earphones is something I researched thoroughly. To do it safely, I follow a strict hygiene routine. After every use, I spray the ear tips and mesh grilles with isopropyl alcohol from a small atomiser bottle, wipe them gently, and let them dry. I also regularly clean my ears, avoid excess wax build-up, and switch sleeping sides during the night for balance. It's a habit built over years and has never caused any irritation or infection.Functionally, EarPods still hold up. The audio is clean, vocals are crisp, and the inline remote is responsive and intuitive. There’s no battery to worry about, no Bluetooth pairing faff, and no signal drops. Plug in, press play, done. For podcasts, audiobooks, or ambient sounds through the night — they’re perfect. The Lightning connector is also more secure for sleep use than USB-C variants, which can wiggle loose.Sure, they’re not audiophile-grade, and they won’t blow you away with bass. But for nightly use, long listening sessions, or minimalist convenience, I can’t think of a better wired earphone. They’ve never failed me. I’ll continue to buy them for as long as Apple makes them. Quietly brilliant — and entirely dependable.

I’m really impressed with the Apple EarPods. They offer great sound quality with clear audio and decent bass, making them perfect for everyday use. The fit is comfortable, and unlike some wireless earbuds, I never have to worry about charging them.The Lightning connector works seamlessly with my iPhone, and the built-in controls make adjusting volume or answering calls effortless. While they might not have the bells and whistles of expensive wireless options, they’re reliable, affordable, and do exactly what I need them to. A solid choice for anyone who prefers wired earbuds!I actually use these more than Airpods

Amazing audio quality, comfortable to wear, value for money is very good, lasts a long time, good size, and volume control panel is useful.

Lasted a solid year of heavy use before the two cables started to come apart at the bottom where they meet. Classic wired headphone issue. Will be buying again though. Really nice sound quality for the price.

Good headphones. For some reason the volume is very quiet, my phone is at full and it still I can just barely hear it.
