About this product:
  • Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
  • The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
  • EarPods with USB-C plug 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.
  • A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you're on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you're always heard loud and clear.

The mics on these are very solid for voice calls. AirPods Pro are great for noise canceling and convenience but voice call quality isn't great.

FYI: The strain relief on EarPods are thin and fragile. I went through a bunch of the 3.5mm and Lightning versions of these. The thin wire slowly lose connectivity from being bent and stretched all the time in your pocket. I made them last longer with a cable protector like these: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nite...Id=6225267

it's not widely advertised, but these are an upgrade from the lightning or aux plug versions.

i have these and love them. i think bluetooth headphones are incredibly overrated. just my opinion. these are well worth $17.

Actually they do "emit radiation"
But using that definition of "emit radiation", incandescent lightbulbs also emit radiation and far more of it!

Wired earbuds also has radiation.
Sound waves are acoustic radiation, which is arguably more dangerous

They do emit radiation. Bluetooth is 2.4Ghz which is very close to microwave frequencies, which is why poorly shielded/damaged microwaves can disrupt bluetooth/2.4Ghz wifi signals nearby.

The issue is distance from source. Even low wattage emitters at a short distance can produce relatively high EM flux. Microwaves are non ionizing but can still cause damage. Most data indicates wireless headphones and earbuds are safe, but many times throughout history, that which was considered completely safe turned out to be a much more nuanced situation given enough time and data (COVID vaccine...cough, cough cough).

I personally avoid them out of an abundance of caution. That said, I think they're ok for occasional use, but my instincts tell me to avoid constant use. Most things used/consumed too much cause ill effects, like drinking too much water, or eating too much food. Moderation with many things, is key.

* I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice...but I did graduate with honors with a B.S. in Biology from a tier 1 university, and am currently studying for the MCAT.

Yes they do. It's a fundamental scientific fact. To claim otherwise is ignorance. Whether it's harmful or not is a separate conversation.

I have the same issue, so I use these. It completely solves the issue and makes them more comfortable.

While these are probably a great product, this feels like a lukewarm deal, its only $2 off - barely over 10% discount. Why are people so excited? I know any sale on Apple is worth looking at, but accessories like this frequently see steeper discounts.

Hah i got the aux a few months ago at this price as I already have the usbc and lightening dongle. It's more versatile too as I can use it with my handheld devices.
Uh Huh?

Everything in the universe puts out some level of radiation. The specific type, and level, varies and is what's important.
But wireless headphones do not put out any kind of radiation that can possibly cause any health problems. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't understand physics, biology, or both.
