Customer Ratings & Reviews

The iPod Lightning headphones deliver a perfect blend of simplicity, sound quality, and everyday convenience. From the moment you plug them in, you get a reliable, clear connection with zero lag or Bluetooth pairing issues. The audio is crisp and well-balanced — vocals sound clean and detailed, and the bass has a surprisingly strong punch without overpowering the mids. Comfort is another big win. The lightweight, low-profile EarPods design fits naturally in the ear, making them easy to wear for long periods without fatigue. They’re great for workouts, commuting, or just relaxing with music, podcasts, or calls. The built-in microphone and volume controls are super responsive and make switching songs or answering calls effortless. Plus, because they draw power directly from the device, you never have to worry about charging them — they’re always ready to go. If you want a dependable set of headphones with great sound and Apple-clean design, these Lightning earphones are absolutely worth it. They’re straightforward, durable, and deliver exactly what most people need every day. Bottom line: Affordable, comfortable, and clear — they remain one of the best wired options for Apple users.

I love my wired headphones so much, they are great quality. When listening to music I can hear the base very well- I have no complaints. In terms of durability it depends on your care. I have had a couple instances where the wired headphones have broken but that was truly on me. You just have to be careful your not pulling them too much. So if you take care of them you’ll be fine. But overall I would very much recommend these headphones if you want budget friendly option. I still use them even though I have more expensive options! They are a great alternative if my other headphones are not charged or I don’t feel like having such a heavy headphones on.

As a professional music producer and video editor, my ears are usually tuned to high-end studio monitors, but these EarPods are my go-to for everything else. The Lightning connection is the big winner here—unlike Bluetooth, there is zero latency, which is critical when I’m checking a video edit or a scratch voiceover on my phone. The fit is incredibly natural; I can wear them for a three-hour podcast edit or a long client call without any of the "ear fatigue" I get from heavy over-ear headphones. The inline mic is also surprisingly high-quality—it's clearer than many expensive wireless buds I've tried. No charging, no pairing issues, just plug and play. They are a permanent fixture in my set up.

The design and virginal white color are classic and a tremendous value when they come free with your iPhone purchase, but when forced to buy a replacement pair the perception of value begins to slide down a steep slippery slope. The inline mic is above average and improves the experience of conversating on the iPhone. Sound quality however is below average to poor. When the first generation models first debuted the quality was atrocious especially when compared to other apple products. Over time Apple has improved the sound quality but still leaves much to be desired. The most frustrating experience is when the EarPods suicide jump out of my ears during any brisk or vigorous activity - thankfully my crestfallen jumpers are tethered to a safety wire, for if they were not I would Undoubtedly have lost countless to the mean streets and concrete jungle of NYC. The headsets are remarkably fragile for an Apple product. The shoddy craftsmanship trend seems to be a company wide trend affecting almost every Apple product since the passing of Steve Jobs. Am I the only person who feels this way? My instore BestBuy retail experience is always hit or miss, and this trip to the mall was no exception. In the past I’ve had some truly wonderful experiences with the staff - hence why I’m still a high spending customer despite many (too many) poor in store experiences. This particular night and purchase I was basically rushed and ushered out the store because it was nearing closing time. After I paid at the register I was asking an associate a question - I was interrupted and funneled towards the exit. Yes, you read that right: I was escorted out of the store the moment the transaction was complete. The ink was still wet on the receipt as the security guard spot checked the my bag, the purchase and hurried me out. I became enraged and then intoxicated on the sugary fumes wafting from the nearby Auntie Anne’s kiosk that drew me in like a moth to a flame. With my replacement EarPods in one hand and a soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel hot from the oven, sprinkled with fresh cinnamon, sweet sugar in my other hand I sat baffled and puzzled, but also satiated.

The headphones were cheap and high quality. Apple continues too make high quality products and Best Buy was able to get it too me in less then an hour and it was a wonderful service and top notch quality.

Great, the sound quality is amazing. Much better than my AirPods dying on me.

To start off this review these Apple wired headphones are the best thing I could have bought for my phone. The headphones are super easy with the built in volume bar and integrated Siri making it easy to switch to another song. The price of these headphones are great for a minimum budget of $20 USD with great sound quality being very clear for its price knowing how expensive Apple could be. The headphones are great quality with the ear buds having a hard plastic covering to protect to internals with the silicone covering the wires for easy untangling. Very easy to use at a very affordable price. I would recommend these headphones to any Apple iPhone user

I love the sound of this Airpods. If you are looking for a earphone that is under $20 then I would say definitly you should go for this one. Sound is perfect although bass is not that high but it gives a soothing sound when I listen to a song or watch YT. I got the lightning connector one for me but you can get the 3.5mm one for your device if it has headphone jack. It comes with a very big box and the product is original. Overall, I am satified and I recommend this.

I tried expensive wireless ear pods but returned back to wired. They stay put in your ears and are durable. I have also tried different brands of wired ear phones but they don’t stay in my ears. So again I returned back to the tried and true brand manufactured through Apple for the fit, durability and quality of sound.

The Apple headphones from Best Buy deliver exceptional sound quality and a comfortable fit. The sleek design and seamless connectivity enhance my overall experience. The noise cancellation feature works effectively, providing an immersive listening environment. Overall, a top-notch product that combines style with impressive audio performance. Thank you so much Best Buy!

Great product for the price. Fits comfortably in my ears. Sound is excellent.

I love my wired EarPods. To me, they sound just as good as my wife's AirPods (2nd Gen) with a good amount of bass and an overall full and clear sound. The volume buttons and play/skip controls are really handy. I also use Siri a lot (to set reminders, add calendar events, and control my smart home lights) and the microphone is there whenever I "hey Siri" something. But do I look like an impoverished luddite with the cord? I don't know. I always run it under my shirt so it doesn't get caught on door handles (like the ads for wireless earbuds suggest). And they don't have non-replaceable batteries that will run out in a couple of years (like the wireless). And I never lose them (like the AirPod people do). And I can buy 5 pair of these for the price of the cheapest AirPods. And they fit fine. And I'm both cheap and broke so they're my only option. But they're great so who cares. 5 stars. 10/10

Great pair of earbuds. Just like the original 3.5mm that offers great sound at an affordable price. The one downside is you have to use your charging port as this uses the lightning connector but if you have the newer phones that require this regardless you likely won’t run out of battery while using these anyways. Otherwise a great pair of earbuds.

Better voice quality, sounds are higher than airpods. 5 times cheaper than cheapest airpods. And lasts way more than airpods.Sometimes old way is the best way. I love my tumor free headphones. They dont warn you enough about dangers of wireless headphones.

My daughter cannot live without this headset! She has tried wireless and she still prefers this original apple wired headset over all!!! She uses them faithfully every day during and every evening. She can't even leave the house without this headset!!! She loves the sound and snug fit!!! She also like that the headset isn't easily lost, like the wireless buds.

Exactly what I expected in terms of sound and functionality. I just wish I bought two of every connection type when they were on sale.

Always gotta have a spare pair of corded apple ear pods for sure and can find them for $15 usually. You have to say that original apple ones are way better than most if not all corded in ear phones. And im pretty sure they made them in usb-c connector now so whenever I upgrade my 13, ill get those. Always going to love the OG corded ones even though I use cordless airpods 90% of the time. For $15 bucks gotta have on deck. Great purchase

The ear buds are excellent for listening to music or your favorite tik tok short videos.

Great earphones! I still prefer this than the airpods! Why? Its not that i cant afford it but it’s because if you loose the other airpods, it not the same anymore. On the other hand, this one there’s wires you can easily find it if you lost it! Lol

A great option to have your hands free. They are comfortable and lightweight.
