The Earbuds are a Misc. item wearable by all classes. They appear as a stylized version of the white earbuds that normally come with the Apple iPod and iPhone. This limited edition item was intended to be awarded to players who launched TF2 on a Mac between June 10, 2010 and June 14, 2010, although it can apparently still be found as of July 1. When worn, white musical notes are intermittently seen coming from the buds.

Trivia

The music note particle
  • The white cords leading down from the player's ears are jiggleboned, meaning they move around and flex as influenced by player movement. That makes this item the first equippable to the Misc. slot to have this feature.
  • The earbuds and its wire always appear bright white, even when the wearer is in darkness. This is likely a reference to the iPod commercials in which white headphones were worn by silhouettes.
  • This is the second official headwear item to include an inherent particle effect (comical musical notes in this case). The only other cosmetic item to feature a passive visual effect is the Cheater's Lament. Selfmade items and the Valve and community weapons also feature a 'shine' particle effect.
  • This is also the second official Headwear item to include a descripiton. The first being Ze Goggles.
