Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector ​​​​​​​(2024)

Excellent headphones. Lasted over a year. Very comfortable. Excellent sound and microphone.

Love them so much! I take them with me everywhere and I prefer them over my AirPods as they don’t need charging and the sound quality is so much better. They are easy to transport and you don’t have to worry about them falling out and loosing them.

Fantastic product, great sound, great value, easy to use, brilliant all round

Had a little bit of a wait for them but they’re brilliant EarPods very good sound quality

I thought that just because I have an Android these would be useless, however they're performing amazingly, for the price they could compete with a lot of wireless earbuds, minus the hassle of charging them so often. Sure you may not get ANC but the fit and the sound quality is really decent for the price. I've also used these with my macbook if anyone is wonder if they'd work.

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.

Wow, I really like these. The material is soft and not harsh on skin. I enjoy the connectivity of the product as it fits perfectly with any device with USB-C. Weighs nothing and can fit into a small pocket. Beware of knots though as they are annoying to untie. Not having a battery is useful for when your in non chargeable areas

Was very happy to receive original Appel products it comes sealed in original packaging, sound quality is excellent has volume controls absolutely value for money
