Those are the newer EarPods Apple started shipping with their iPhones in 2013. I think I got this right, but it's possible I somehow got it wrong, and I've been doing it the wrong way for the last few years. The larger opening on the side of the buds should face forward. In other words, the bud on the same line with the mike and the inline controls should go on the left. I assume there are also some little markers, like an 'r' and and 'l' to let sighted users know which bud goes in which ear. Once you get the hang of it, I think you'll find that they're a bit more comfortable with a bit better sound then what you got in the older earbuds, but of course, as with all things related to headphones, it's all subjective!

I got a 6 s last year and they came with an odd looking pair of what looks like hard plastic ear buds.  What are they and how do they fit in the ear?  They look like they are on an angle and there is another little hole in the ear piece.  Or at least what I assume is an ear piece.  They really look weird and I have never tried to use them.  They have an in line set of three switches and what might be a mic.  Thanks much for any help.

    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 the AirPods, these are bluetooth wireless
    ear buds. I don't have a pair myself, but they're similar to the
    EarPods in size and shape, but they don't have any wires. They
    pair easily with Apple devices and come with a charging case.
