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