The speakers are engineered to maximize sound output, and the EarPods offer protection from sweat and water. They are a simple, no-pairing headset for devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

  • Take calls and control playback from the cable without touching the device
  • Plug in and listen with no pairing or charging

Apple EarPods with 3.5mm Headphone Plug are Apple's wired earbuds for devices with a standard headphone jack. Traditional earbuds are circular, but the EarPods are shaped around the geometry of the ear, and Apple says that makes them comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. They are white, with a TRRS 3.5mm mini-phone plug.

The speakers are engineered to maximize sound output for high-quality stereo audio with deep, rich bass. A built-in remote and microphone on the cable let you adjust volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls. The EarPods also offer protection from sweat and water. Because they are wired, there is nothing to pair or charge, which makes them easy to hand out for training, shared workstations or backup headsets.

Apple lists compatibility with iPhone 5 through iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE (1st generation); a range of iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro models; many MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio and Mac Pro models, including MacBook Neo; and iPod touch, nano, shuffle and classic models. The remote and mic are supported by all models of iPod, iPhone and iPad, although not all models support the volume up and down functions. The full compatibility list is in the specifications.

Apple part number MWU53AM/A.

Ideal for

  • Standard wired headsets for shared workstations and Mac computers
  • Hands-on call handling on older iPhone and iPad models with a headphone jack
