Overview

Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector ​​​​​​​(2024) is one of 50 headphones & earbuds products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headp. The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.4 out of 5 from 12,656 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How it compares on the headphones & earbuds shelf

Across the 50 rated headphones & earbuds products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.4 out of 5. This one scores 4.4. That sits mid-table. Ratings this close together don't decide anything on their own, so weigh pack size, price per unit and the specifics below instead.

12,656 people rated it, where the shelf median is 10,633. That's enough for the score to mean something without being the last word on it.

On money, this sits in the middle third of a shelf running from £3.99 to £200, with the midpoint around £17.00. That's where most sensible buys land, neither the cheapest thing on the shelf nor the one you pay a name for.
