Unlike the common round earphones, the design of the EarPods is based on the geometry of the ear. This makes them a lot more comfortable for many more people than regular earphones.
 The EarPods' speakers are designed to maximize output and minimize sound loss for optimal sound quality.
 The EarPods with Lightning connector also have a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control music and video playback, and answer or end calls with a squeeze of the cord.
