Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
stunning!!
Written by MH from moseley

Just picked these up from the applestore in Brum today.
To clear things up, ALL features EXCEPT VOLUME CONTROL work fine with the original Iphone, pause, skip tracks, answer calls, microphone etc all work great, but you can;t control mic or headphone volume.
Fantastic clarity for receiving and talking during calls, a lot better than most bluetooth sets.
Real comfortable and secure fit, much more comfortable than any other phones I've used, and I've used about 10 different sets of phones over the last two years trying to find something that is comfortable and sounds great... and we have a winner!
The sound is fantastic, given that I usually listen on in-ear single driver phones that cost me £120, I really do love the sound from these. Great soundstaging, and the clarity of the top end mixed with the warm and rolling bottom end is great, the 5hz claim I think is pushing it! THESE ARE NOT BASS HEAVY!
I listen mostly to electronic and DNB, and although the bottom end is not that low and thumping, it is still very rich and warm, and very punchy with no distortion, but the level of clarity and detail you hear is amazing, you really can hear so much more detail in tracks than I was used too. Each element is very well defined, unlike the sharpness of some phones, or the mushiness of bass heavy sets, all elements are crystal clear here. I guess the dual drivers really work, hopefully the bottom end will pick up a bit once they're broken in.
Basically for the money, you simply can't beat these phones. Amazing sound quality, loving the extra hands free use, the controls are as simple as you can get and they are very well made. You'll be paying at LEAST double if not treble for the next cheapest dual driver phones on the market. So you really can't go wrong... just a shame they're still white, silver or black would have looked much nicer, especially considering the lack of any white in the current apple product range!!
Looks like Apple finally made a good set of earphones... shocking ;) …More617 of 715 people found this useful

Starting to Appreciate
Written by CT from Bearsden

Took a bit of getting used too, my ears had been conditioned to the Sennheiser CX300 in-ears, the Apple by comparison are noticeably flatter but more natural and very detailed. CX300s are bottom heavy, the Apple unit feels smooth up to the vocal presence range where it comes to life and towards the top end remains pretty sharp. I noticed overall good detail and separation, this should happen with two individual drivers handling different frequency ranges.
Earphones will always be subjective, people have different music tastes but Im really starting to appreciate these earphones and getting away from the artificial sound I had become accustomed too. The fact you have playback control and a mic built in and its barely visible is another winner. …More394 of 485 people found this useful

Superb headphones. High Quality, separation, clarity, taut bass, detailed treble. Excellent and well worth the money. Mic works well on iPhone 2G and 3G models.
Innovative case and ear plug holder.
5 Stars because they beat all the earphones at this price level and some above. …More377 of 466 people found this useful

Don't work as in-ear phones. Avoid.
Written by JM from Kirkkonummi

Well they look great, the sound is ok and the remote button works nicely. However, even a small movement or touch to cables will disconnect them from your ear canals. And in-ear phones that are not well connected are quite useless.
I previsously used a pair of Etymotic er6i and those stick very well in the ear. I could snowboard or even ride a motorbike with closed helmet. But these Apple's In-Ear phones work only if you lay down still. Forget wearing caps or jackets with high collars with them, because any movement or touch to the chords will misplace them inside you ear, ruining the in-ear effect. …More1 of 5 people found this useful

Superb product
Written by RM from March

I've had these for nearly a year now and they're in near-daily use. As such, I can't understand where the negative comments about poor build quality come from. Look after them and they'll be fine. Keep them in the sturdy plastic case (provided) if you ain't gonna use them for a while.
Sound quality is excellent - please don't take any notice of those reviewers who complain about lack of bass. It's all there and it sounds rich and detailed; it's not overbearing and lacking in subtlety, which is maybe what some users want. If all you've ever been used to are Apple (or any other OE) phones, these will delight you. They cancel external noise effectively, too, which is another boon to listening pleasure (or you can just slip them on in a noisy office to dampen out some of the din....).
The remote on the right-hand cord is terrific (my iPod Nano 5G and 120GB Classic are both compatible). Pause, skip, rewind, control the volume and (on the Nano), call up the voiceover function without moving the device from your pocket.
Don't use them for running - why anybody would want to use anything other than over-ear sports phones for that is beyond me, anyway.
I'd recommend them to anybody – especially owners of later iPods, who can take advantage of the neat remote functions. …More2 of 3 people found this useful

Good headphones but ....
Written by TS from København N

The silicone-tips tend to fall of after a while, and aperently it is not possible to by ekstras in the appleshop - the same goes for the mesh caps, when you have used the to replacements that came with the headphones, then what?
I have had mine for about 4 months now, and tips are very loose and sooner or later the get lost, and I have just put the second mesh cap on! …More4 of 6 people found this useful
