Unlike standard, round earbuds, the EarPods design is dictated by the ear's geometry. As a result, they are more comfortable for a wider range of people than traditional earbud-style headphones. 
The  EarPods speakers have been designed to optimize sound output while minimizing sound loss, resulting in high-quality audio.
With a pinch of the chord, you can adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end conversations with the EarPods with Lightning Connector's built-in remote.
