Design and features:The EarPod has in-line volume and player function controls as well as an integrated microphone. This model uses a USB-C plug and is intended for use with mobile devices and computers that have USB-C ports.
Sound quality:We found the EarPods (USB-C) delivers sound quality that falls in the acceptable range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The overall sound can best be summarized as a bit boomy, grainy and dry. The bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) is a bit boomy, has so-so impact, and doesn't go deep. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) has very good detail but is a bit thin, constricted, and grainy, and gets slightly congested (think sonic traffic jam) during complex musical passages. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended but a bit smeared and the pronounced upper treble can exaggerate sibilance and sounds a bit dry and papery. The sound also has a decent sense of liveliness and is open--sound-wise it seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears. It also does a decent job of recovering the room ambience of recordings. The sound quality was the same as the Apple EarPods with the 3.5mm headphone plug.
Comfort and Fit:These earphones do not produce any pressure in ear canal, but users may have to fiddle a bit to find the position that provides the best sound quality.
Small/Medium
Users with small and medium sized ear bowls will probably find that these earphone stay in place with no problems for casual use, are stable during fairly vigorous head movement, and are unobtrusive so it's easy to forget they are being worn.
Large
Users with larger sized ear bowls will probably find that this model is unobtrusive and stays in place with no problems for casual use, but compared to other users they may find them less stable during fairly vigorous head movements.
This model has the same form factor and fit as the Apple EarPods with the 3.5mm headphone plug.
