1. Apple EarPods (USB-C)
The Apple EarPods are perfectly shaped to fit the ear and designed to minimize sound loss while maximizing audio output. This allows you to enjoy high-quality sound with deeper, richer bass. They also come with an integrated remote that lets you adjust the volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls with the push of a button.

This is gentle on your ears and also extends the battery life of your playback device. Additionally, in-ear headphones have excellent noise-canceling properties, allowing you to perceive disruptive ambient sounds much less. Thanks to their compact size, they can be easily stored in any pocket, making them the ideal companion for on-the-go use.
