Earbuds are a Miscellaneous item wearable by all classes. They appear as a stylized version of the white earbuds that normally come with various handheld Template:W products. They are connected to the class via loose cords. When worn, white musical notes are intermittently seen playing from the Earbuds. The musical notes have no associated sound effect.
This item was awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 using the OS X operating system (at the time 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]

Trivia
- These items have been known to be some of the rarest items in TF2. Others being the Golden Wrench and Top Notch. The Top Notch being the rarest, as there is only one of them.
- Earbuds are also some of the most sought after items in TF2. For some reason, Tux the Penguin, only available to Linux players, wasn't as popular.
