    I really like these new Earpods! They sound fantastic. They do not completely seal out background noise but can handle high volume quite nicely. Great for biking,hiking,walking,running(YES! they stay in your ears!).Great for situations where you have to be aware of your surroundings.
    In-Ear types are great if you want to put out the "Do Not Disturb" sign. They seal out almost all background noise to force more created sound into your ear canals. It also increases friction noise like your headphone cord rubbing while you're in motion.
    My vote is for the new Apple Earpods! We use all of our sences naturally. Why eliminate one.

  • I've had both and I personally like the EarPods much better. They sound 100x better and are way more comfortable. And they're tons cheaper :)

  • I've owned both and a few others besides. Between the Earpods and the In-Ear, I prefer the In-Ear for sound quality (no background noise) and comfort while exercising, and I prefer the EarPods when running, specifically because they let more background noise through. Catching a car to the head hurts. The EarPods are a lot more comfortable for laying around listening to music and/or shows; the pressure from the silicone seals on the In-Ear headphones would make my ears hurt after an hour or two.

  • Well I don't actually own these yet (gonna buy a pair soon) but from all the reviews I read, they are pretty fantastic. The sound quality is amazing (good bass, highs, and lows), they fit comfortably in your ear and don't fall out (for the majority of posters this was true), and you can even sleep with them and they'll be comfortable. And, they don't provide total noise cancellation like in-ear headphones with the silicone seal (if you like to hear a little bit of background noise while listening to music, I know I do), so you can still be aware of what's going on around you. Hope this helps!

  • I have both. The bass is stronger on the earpods which I like. You won't hear as much background noise on the in-ears but so far I am liking the earpods more.

    I personally like the in ear more. Against most of other users.
    the in ear provides more detail and more "open"
    while the ear pod has much better bass, but the bass does interfere into mid range and some times you just heard a heavy tut without any other sound.
    and it shift the over all sound into heavy, muddy low range.
    every song got a artificial feeling of dark low sound
    I think it won't be sensible to hope these tiny drivers to provide quality bass without distorting them.
    I personally can't find any other brands of so call "excellent bass" earphone without synthetically boosting them.
    So I am happy to trade the bass for more musical details.
    one thing I need the in-ear to improve is its sound stage. it is kind of clamped.
