    Rival Their Expensive Counterparts!

    • Written by from Swansea

    These really are one of the best earphones I have every listened to. I've had a range of earphones over the years, Beats, Bose, JVC, etc... but these are surely as good as, if not better than Bose and Beats which cost hundreds more. What makes it even better is that they are just 25 quid?! Love em! You should to!

    Price and all day comfort

    I had to use headphone for work and the standard over the head style gives me problems. At the Apple store, I got these headphones. What a GREAT CHOICE! All day comfort, and my old crystal covers fit. Light weight, great sound, and stylish for under $33.00 with tax. This updated version is COOL. Leave it to Apple to be ahead of the pack.

    Almost perfect

    • Written by from Swansea

    Considering the cost of these headphones, the sound is brilliant, it is just what 99% of the general public would want, strong bass, crisp highs and comfortable fit...

    They may not be the audiophiles dream, but they are darn close, I have spent up to and over £100 on headphones and have always come back to these because they are so good and so convenient, plus they have the buttons and microphone on them.

    when I bought an iPhone5, the earpods was free and I'm so curious about it's performance because of it's new design so I tested it immediately...
    The sound was really great, it fits my ears well and it doesn't fall in my every head turns unlike the previous earpiece that it annoys me that every time I turn my head it falls!
    THUMBS UP for this product..

    Apple EarPods- Not quite what they used to be?

    • Written by from Lake Stevens

    3 of 4 people found this useful

    I was very excited to get some new Apple headphones, as my old ones had taken a beating and no longer functioned. I liked the appearance of the new headphones and bought a pair at Best Buy. The fit, turns out, is not so great (at least for me). The pointed ends of the Pods tend to poke the insides of my ears. Though they worked, so I kept using them. After about two months, something happened to the plating or wiring because audio was distorted and ruined. I plugged the headphones into my Macbook to see if it was the Pods or my phone,and the problem persisted. To conclude, I would not recommend this gen. of headphones, the previous iPhone headphones were a much better product, in my experience. Some options of earbud sizes would be a good idea.

    The sound is awesome and when you hear them you can't believe the sound it puts in your head, it's mind blowing.

    Extraordinary!!!!!!

    I just got this like 2 hours ago and i couldn't believe the sound quality that came out of these tiny halls, i could hear the 80-110Hz clearly without mudding the rest of the spectrum although it has a decent mid-low cut around the 300-400Hz yet the sound still very clear and accurate.
    The most shocking for me that it controls my MacBook Pro and i just figured it out by accident when i hit the call button and simply iTunes opened and i'm using all access Play, Pause, Next, Previous, Volume with it :D
    The only problem for me is that it has low output power so in noisy places it couldn't be very audible enough and yet it's Extraordinary

    They have great sound but totally don't stay in my ears at all so I am giving mine away to hubby. The dollar store ones ...at least they stay in my ear but have to give up the quality of sound.....but these only one stays in my ear and mono is all I hear. Lol

    So off to the apple store see if there's ones that fit!

    Great product for the features and the price.

    • Written by from Austin

    I used to have the Apple's round earphones; used for almost two years then bought the in-ear head phones and returned to Apple. Then, I bought these. These are really good, fit well, sound very nice. Bass is better than the round ones. I totally recommend these.

    Look Great & Feel Awful - I want my old ones

    • Written by from Chattanooga

    6 of 12 people found this useful

    I made the mistake of lending the ear pods that came with my 4S to a coworker and never got them back. He was kind enough to buy me a new pair of cheap-o ones as compensation but they just weren't the same.
    So I went to my local Mac provider and much to my dismay, the design of the basic ear pods had changed. Worried about the new design - although aesthetically beautiful - I went for it.
    Our relationship started out great, as they always do, but after several wears that little seam in the mold of the plastic around the part that goes into your ear just really got annoying. I won't say painful, but very, very uncomfortable, especially in my left ear (strange...). It's an itchy, weird feeling that lingers even when you take them out.
    Maybe I just have sensitive skin there or small ears, I do not know, but it's sure to say I am disappointed especially since the sound quality is great. I wish I could find my old backup pair but I may just resort to the cheap spongy ones my coworker gave me or steal some from a family member. Neither of which I prefer to do...'tis a sad day in ear pod land.

    Please can we have the old style ones back!

    For those of us with small ears, these are a retrograde step. The old classic earbuds were perfect, but these just hurt the ears.

    Dear Apple, please can we have an option of the other, old fashioned kind?

    The sound is OK other then they are so quiet. Was watching movie on a flight had to use the free headsets because these wouldn't go loud enough. They hurt the ears i have big ears and after wearing them for a long time they hurt. My girlfriends ears actually bled more than once. If you have small ears stay away from these. In the wind the mike totally cuts out. I can't believe these are made by apple. What i like is they are made well. But they do hurt my ears. And I have big ears lol

    better than the old version, but VERY UNCOMFORTABLE...Can't wear them!

    I had a lot of hope and positive anticipation for these EarPods...but my bubble was popped instantly! These are more ergonomically designed than the generic style from previous, but I could not get these EarPods comfortable in my ears. I twisted, turned, and tucked these in my ears all kinds of ways, but they just never felt comfortable or felt secure. I kept thinking they would fall out with every head turn. In fact, I couldn't stop focusing on the discomfort enough to evaluate the sound quality. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! I'm sticking with Skullcandy earbuds!
