The Earbuds are a Miscellaneous item wearable by all classes. They appear as a stylized version of the white earbuds that normally come with the Template:W iPod and iPhone. They are connected to the class via loose cords. When worn, white musical notes are intermittently seen coming from the Earbuds. The musical notes have no associated sound effect.
This item was awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 on Mac OS X between June 10, 2010 and June 14, 2010. The offer was later extended to August 16 before coming to an end.[1] One of the most valuable items in the game, second only to Unusual Hats, the Earbuds were a topic of much debate upon release. Many PC Team Fortress 2 players were outraged when new mac players were rewarded with a unique, valuable hat, while their previous attention and devotion to the game had gone unheeded and unrewarded.
