Apple EarPods with a USB-C plug are wired earbuds that deliver comfortable fit, high-quality audio and an in-line remote with microphone. They lack wireless connectivity and ANC, but provide a modern connector for USB-C devices.

Apple EarPods are a comfortable, low-latency wired solution with solid build quality and universal compatibility, but they lack isolation and high-end sound performance. Ideal for callers and casual listeners who prioritize convenience over audiophile fidelity.
