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 white cords leading down from the player's ears are jiggleboned, meaning they move around and flex as influenced by player movement.
- 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.
- The Earbuds exclusive offer for Mac users ended the 16th of August 2010.
- Although no Earbuds were given the "Vintage" tag upon the Mann-Conomy update, there is a single pair of Vintage Earbuds that was given by Robin, then traded to The Dude. [1]
- The Earbuds appear similar to the ones packaged with iPods. [2]
