Ear buds. What the hell am I supposed to do with ear buds? Play Sarah McLachlan at a guy until he gets so sad he dies?

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 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 Earbuds. The musical notes have no 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 headphones were worn by silhouettes.
  • The Earbuds , if used along with the World Travelers hat, will cause no special effect even if the player has bought a stamp.
