EarPods were devices from a parallel universe, created by John Lumic. '

History

They could be used to read minds, control them, and add information into them (a daily joke, for example). They were used as the alternate universe's alternative to mobile phones. Secretly, however, Earpods could remove information from a subject's brain by producing two metal prongs that met at the top of the head. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen) EarPods were used to induce trance prior to "upgrading" of Humans into Cybermen. the Earpods took control of people by inducing a trance but on our Earth the Earpeices were drilled straight into the victims brain. (DW: The Age of Steel)

When the Cybermen entered this universe, the earpeices of the Torchwood Institute, specifically, Torchwood 1 ,allowed control in a similar way, paving the way for the Battle of Canary Wharf. Adeola Oshodi died as an indirect result of this. (DW: Army of Ghosts)

Other information

EarPods also exist as a source of private entertainment on the Doctor]]'s Earth. (BFA: Cuddlesome)

Behind the Scenes

The name EarPod fairly obviously takes its inspirations from iPod.
