Re: Apple ear buds/pods

Apple replaced the earbuds with the Ear Pods back in 2013. I think all you can get these days is the EarPods. They're similiar to the earbuds but they're more ergonomic, so many people prefer them over the original earbuds. https://www.imore.com/apple-earpods-review If you're talking about
