Apple EarPods (3.5mm Headphone Plug)

PCMag notes that the EarPods work with any device that has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and highlights the included compact carrying case. The review presents them as a practical wired option for compatible devices rather than a standout audiophile product.

RTINGS describes the EarPods as decent for neutral, casual listening. They are comfortable and fairly well balanced through the mid-to-high range, with instruments and vocals reproduced with above-average fidelity.

What Hi-Fi says the EarPods are a major improvement over Apple’s original earbuds, with a comfortable fit, spacious sound, and good bass. It also finds their midrange somewhat harsh and says they still fall short of the best options at the price.
