Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

They keep falling out

Gave them away, sound ain't all that neither...

What use is this product if you can't wear them for more than 5 minutes as they are very uncomfortable. I much preferred the soft ear bud style. i wore these for less than 5 minutes and felt like my ears were bruised, gave them to my husband who has slightly larger ears and he found them equally uncomfortable.

Don't waste your money.

My friend gave me this Earpod cause it doesn't fit into his ear. I've got the same issue, doesn't fit. Now I've got to give it to someone else to give it a try.

I don't think it's an universal headphone, sound quality is also not impressive, very similar to the old one.

The previous one had an opportunity to fit a bud for extra support. This one doesn't.

I would suggest other people if you have a chance try it first before spending £25. It is highly likely to spoil your money.

iphone 5 amazing but the headphones are just awful design and very slippery they easily come off my ears.

The title says it all. These annoyingly weedle their way out of your ears. The sound is just about passable but the awkward ergonomics to the ear canal means the sound is not delivered where it should be. I have been incredulous for years that apple can get so many products right yet they cannot, it seems, produce a set of headphones that perform. This is an essential component and I would like to see apple include a worthy headphone to compliment their repertoire.

I bought a pair of these for my Mother as she needed a new pair for her 3rd Gen iPod Shuffle. I asked the guy in the Apple Store if these were compatible and he said they were but when we tried them out the volume function does not work. Now I can't return them despite being told by the store that they would work! Not good enough Apple!!!

My earpods came shipped with my iPhone 5, after hearing all the rave reviews about them I was expecting something spectacular.

After 3 continual days, trying to enjoy them it's come to the point where I can honestly say that these things are rubbish!

To begin with the front facing opening has harsh edges which dig into my ear, the glossy finish of the units becomes super slippery after a few minutes when listening resulting in them falling out of my ears every five minutes or so.

Apple claim to be able to compete with sound quality of high end earphones, that's rubbish - porta pro's are £20 and sound better.

The only redeeming feature of these things is the inline remote, it's perfect - nice feel to it, position is ideal and the size is nice.

I and a few of my friends have tried the earpods and myself and one friend found they were too small to even fit in our ears and just kept sliding out, very annoying bur only £25, also even having a low volume on still produces lots of external sound, so anyone around you can hear what you're listening to...

In our family only one out of four are able to use these earpods without them falling out. As soon as I put one in my left ear it drops straight out, the right ear fits better. If your ear is the "wrong" shape then these earpods won't be any use to you. It is a shame that Apple did not include a grip to lock the pods into your ear. It's a missed design opportunity.
