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, however the offer was later extended to the 16th of August.[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 could be a reference to the iPod commercials in which white headphones were worn by silhouettes, or it could be due to a misplaced light origin as several other hats have.
- 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 fourth official Headwear item to include a description, after Max's Severed Head , Ze Goggles and the Ghastly Gibus.
- Although the Earbud exclusive offer was extended to the 16th of August 2010, the Mac Update site still read "4 Days for the Taking" which seems odd considering the offer was eventually made to be 2 months long.
