Random question: is the earbud size and shape the same as old wired Apple earbuds?

I've never been able to use the traditional wired Apple earbuds because my ear is too small and they start hurting after 5-10 mins of use.

Sorry, edited my post after I realized I said AirPods and not EarPods. I don't have a pair. I would imagine they will be the same. Which is my hope because the EarPods fit my ears perfectly... I have pretty big ears (not sure if that typically translates to ear holes), which caused more than a little fun poking back in school, but apparently they are a good size for Apple's design spec. Take that BILLY you little jerk!

A long long time ago, I loved the feel of the earphones. They came with one of the first gen if ipod.

Then at some point the design of the earphone changed and I had the same problem as you ever since:-( I was quite disappointed at the time
