The speakers in Apple EarPods are engineered to minimize sound leakage and maximize sound output. The result: impressive audio quality that rivals much more expensive headphones. Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic have a built-in remote that lets you adjust volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls with the touch of a button.
