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 Apple iPod and iPhone. This limited edition item was originally awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 on a Mac between June 10, 2010 and June 14, 2010, however the offer was later extended to August 16th.[1] When worn, white musical notes are intermittently seen coming from the Earbuds. The musical notes have no associated sound effect.

Trivia

  • The Earbuds and their cords always appear bright white, even when the wearer is in darkness. This is likely a reference to the iPod commercials in which white earbuds were worn by silhouettes against a solid colored background.
