This is a Lightning wired earphone that came with the purchase of an iPhone. It is new and unused. Unlike traditional round earbuds, the EarPods design is based on the shape of the ear. For more people, it will feel more comfortable than other earbud-style headphones. The EarPods (Lightning connector) also has a built-in remote control, so you can control the volume, music and video playback, answer and end calls by simply pressing the remote.
