Why Apple's $17 EarPods with USB-C are my impulse purchase on Prime Day


The cheap EarPods have some of the best microphones I've tested, never have to be charged, and are discounted during Amazon Prime Day.

The discount is no Prime Day doorbuster, but take it from me: You'll want to buy a pair of these in-ear headphones even if you already own wireless earbuds or aren't an Apple user. In fact, I just returned home from a work trip to Paris, and I can't even count the number of times the USB-C EarPods helped me stay productive, entertained, and connected with family and friends during my downtime. I've used these to record several video scripts for ZDNET's social media channels, and it blows my mind every time I hear how crisp the audio comes out.
