Unlike traditional circular earbuds the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones. The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss which means you get high-quality audio. The EarPods with Lightning Connector also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume control the playback of music and video and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
