Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
Well, the remote works...
Written by MM from Ventura

I was immediately disappointed with the lack of bass. I got used to that eventually, but when I put my old Sonys on I am reminded of all that beautiful bass I have been missing.
The worst thing I hate about these headphones are the tiny electric shocks to my ears on a dry day. I returned these once because of this and the second pair did the same thing, but on the other ear. This is intermittent but the every-ten seconds-or-so shocks destroy my ability to enjoy the music.
And the rubber ferrules where the wire attaches to the bud have become unattached and disintegrated. I reattached them with a dab of silicon glue, but the rubber continues to disintegrate.
Good try Apple, but these headphones are not good.2 of 4 people found this useful

Silicone ear pieces go missing...
Written by GL from Worthington
24-Nov-2009
I love these in-ear head phones & remote mic... but they do constantly fall out of my ears and then the worst thing happens... a siiicone ear piece goes missing. Many times we've been lucky & found them in the washer, on the gravel, under the car seat, & even on our much treaded path in our woods. I've already lost both size small ear pieces, so now my ear buds probably fall out because the medium size is too big? Point is: it is too easy for the ear pieces to come off, and get lost and there does not seem to be an easy way to replace them.

Not up to expectation...
Written by AB from EVANSTON

I thought In-Ear would provide the comfort I was looking for. Unfortunately, they should provide beautiful sound quality, but I didn't feel comfortable at all with them. They don't fit firmly on ear, and so I had to very frequently plug them back into my ears...I very much like the standard iPhone headphones, they're great.

Excellent Sound but...
Written by IC from Rockport
22-Nov-2009
I have a discerning ear - excellent music reproduction for headphones in the "in ear" category. I also enjoy how well they isolate you from the outside noise. My only objection is that they don't stay in your ears when you are moving about. It's an all or nothing proposition. I like to use my Ipod while I'm working and these are amongst the worst headphones I've ever experienced in this regard. It's frustrating. If you are relatively stationary I'd give these headphones 5 STARS. I went back to the headphones that come with the Ipod. There sound quality is a level or two below the In-Ear but they stay in my ears sufficiently enough for my needs. I love the built in Remote and Mic on both products.

Wonderful Quality!
Written by BS from Jamesville

The sound is simply amazing, light years ahead of other in-ear headphones. Like most apple products, the design, from the remote, to the case, is functional and stylish. Huge upgrade from the included earbuds or other brands like Skullcandy.

Crisp!
Written by AR from Ogden
19-Nov-2009
I have never had a set of In-Ear headphones that have stayed in so my expectation was low. After I realized that these ones actually do fit I was even more surprised at how clean the sound is! The seal is so tight in your ear however that it does sound a little odd when using them for speaking on the phone. (sorta hard to gage how loud you are speaking). I would recommend these if you have the money to do so. Great for listening to music, Odd for speaking on the phone.

Major let down
Written by SW from scotts valley
16-Nov-2009
These headphones have terrible sound. I just bought them today and honestly, I would rather use the regular headphones that come with the iPods. There is bass, thought little, and the speakers do a good job of muffling exterior noise, but there is no treble or juicy bass. I also have the Bose in-ear headphones, but bought these for the remote. The Bose in-ear headphones are FAR superior...delicious bass and treble for $20 more. All the hype about these headphones is overrated...not worth $80...not a chance.

Underwhelmed
Written by PC from Longueuil
16-Nov-2009
Sound is pretty good, and they are comfortable. The silicon ear buds stay flexible and are good at blocking out exterior sound.
But I must say, the build quality of the cabling is pretty bad. The sheaths over the connectors all came unglued and disintegrated after 6 months. It wasn't long after that I lost sound in the right ear-bud. $90 for earbuds that last 8 months? I don't think so.25 of 28 people found this useful

They are greatttt except....
Written by JR from NEW YORK

They are not build for constant use like daily commute or any intense workout. The best is the noise cancellation. I wish they were built to take a good beating.

Worst Apple Product I've Had
Written by TW from Keller
14-Nov-2009
I bought this set of earphones at the beginning of the year. Within 30 days one of the rubber earbud covers came off. Luckily I found it after a few minutes of searching. However, one or the other covers comes off periodically. Since they are made of rubber they have a tendency to catch onto different things and come off. Now I lost another one have been looking for it since this morning. I am giving up. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.

Lasted 8 months only.... but i'm still going to go buy another pair
Written by AR from Markham
14-Nov-2009
i use them everyday and they stay in my pocket. overall they had a good life span compared to any other headphone. The only problem is the filters get clogged badly in 2 months for me. The problem with mine is the rubber isn't very good and i had duct tape on mine. But i will still go get another pair
(cause of death: right headphone with no audio even with out the mesh cap)2 of 2 people found this useful

great headphones
Written by MS from Burlington
13-Nov-2009
I researched earphones within a similar price range for days before settling on these for my iPhone. I've had them for about 5 months now, and am very happy with them: the sound quality is great, the silicone seal works well to block out background noise, and they are durable (especially if you keep them in the included triangular case). The remote on the earphones is quite convenient if you carry your device in your pocket. The sound quality is leaps above the normal white ones you get, and the price isn't terribly bad. I recommend them.

Good sound but pathetic remote reliability
Written by SW from Hamilton
13-Nov-2009
I bought these ear buds back in the July mainly for the remote control and microphone. I have to admit that the sound and comfort are very good but within a month the remote stopped working and then a couple weeks later the mic stopped. I haven't returned these since I don't know what the warrenty is on the product. Apple - the remote and mic are great when they work, please make them last as they should for this kind of price.

Not worth the money
Written by AK from Lafayette
12-Nov-2009
First of all the headphones do not generate much bass at all until the volume is turned way up. Secondly, the headphones have to be sitting in your ear at some "perfect" position for you to get even sounds from left and the right headphones. Otherwise one would sound louder. This task actually takes more adjusting than one would think.
The worst part of the headphones is that you can hear the rubbing noise of your headphone wire on anything very loudly over your music. If you are walking or running, you will hear all of the noise that is created by your wires being in contact with anything, even on itself. The noise gets amplified up the wires and to your snug rubbery sealed ear canal then thuds and grinds loudly in your head.
I actually returned this and, I can't believe I am saying this, I actually enjoy the headphones that came with my iPhone 3G.19 of 26 people found this useful

Good headphones
Written by PA from Ithaca

These headphones have very good sound quality and decent noise canceling. I just really wish apple would make the volume buttons compatible with the iphone 3G. It should be a simple patch, and it baffles me that they haven't done it yet. Overall, very good, just need to correct the compatibility difficulty.

Very Disappointing
Written by SS from Somerset
11-Nov-2009
Within 1 week of receiving these In-Ear headphones the right earpiece began to cut in and out. Apple replaced them with a new set which worked about a month and the remote stopped working. Apple replaced this set again and within a few weeks the right ear piece began to cut in and out until it finally stopped working altogether. I have several i-pods and the i-phone 3Gs and have always loved apple products but I believe there is either a design flaw or some problem with the manufacturer in China and I cannot recomend this product.
