Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

I had no earphones so I decided to buy the new earpods.

The sound quality is increadible and very good but they hurt your ear soooo much.

I would not recomend it as you cant wear them more then 5 mins continuously.
My ear is so swollen from the arphones that i cant touch them.

Dont buy them until they fix them.

I love apple and have every product but hate these.
Spent 30 euro and have gone to buy the old ones after a week but can only wear them in a week time cus my ears hurt

I really wanted to love these, but I just don't. The old version really hurt my ears, within 5 minutes of wearing them. Had high hopes for these, considering the redesign. I mean, it's Apple so I assumed that extensive research went into the redesign. No such luck. Same with these, except I get a good 15 minutes before the pain sets in. You're APPLE. You can do better than this. Try again.

They sound awesome, so you get 1 star for that.

I was offered to try these in store which I accepted, as I was concerned the hard plastic would be uncomfortable, and also wanted to test the sound quality. Turns out they are very comfortable, and they sounded great for the short time I tried them. I have owned them for almost a week, and after trying out various genres of music on them, the depth of sound is great, but have found them quite fuzzy. If it wasn't for the occasional fuzz, I would have given these five stars. It almost sounds like someone blowing on a microphone, especially with dance music. Having said that, the quality of sound is better overall when compared to older apple earphones. I will be taking these back to the store, as they could be a faulty pair.

I am a diehard apple fan (MacBook, IPad, iPhone, and I talked all my family into getting them as well, and we all love them.) but I cannot stand these headphones.

I was super excited to try these earpods after everything I heard about them on TV and in the reviews. When I bought my mom the new iPhone 5 for her birthday, I asked her to trade headphones with me, as the new ones are supposed to be amazing. I tried them the next day and they hurt my ears so bad. I didn't want to give up right away so I tried fitting them in different ways and nothing worked. Needless to say I traded them back to my mom, and ended up buying her a new pair of headphones eventually.

I loved the old earbuds! So much so I wore out the speaker in one of the pairs I had.

The ability to be able to pause by pressing the mic is essential to me, as I work as a receptionist, and need to be able to pause my music immediately. And using them to talk while driving was amazing. The capabilities are more than amazing, so I really don't want to buy headphones from anywhere else. However the earpods, were excruciatingly uncomfortable, my ears were red, and aching within 5 min. of wearing them.

I really want the old ones back. They were perfect. Anyone know where I can buy another pair? I'd like to stock up for the future.

Anyway, I'm getting a new iPhone 5 this month, and I will actually be throwing these headphones away, they are that terrible. And I am not the type of person to pass up free stuff. LOL

I just purchased Apple's latest EarPods yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased. Although I am by no means an expert in earphone technology, for $30, these well exceeded any expectation I had. They are comfortable, stay in place, have exceptional sound quality (as judged by a layman), and are a significant improvement over the original.

These headphones are very comfy and sound amazing! They are Beats quality! The only thing is that people can hear my music that are next to me which is a little brother but awesome quality.

Thank you apple,(once again!) These new earpods are such an amazing improvement compared to the last generation. Worth every cent I paid for them. Bass is strong and clearer.

Thanks Apple.

Whoever says these "earpods" are great is either not so bright or intoxicated....these are completely worthless!!! I got them for free with my iPhone 5 and I still wouldn't keep them....

After 10 minutes of trying to figure out how to actually put them in, the stvpid things wouldn't stay in my ears for more than 5 seconds, no matter how much I try to twist them or push them in. If these are supposed to fit anyone, then what's wrong with them???

Do yourselves a favor...go to Amazon and get some nice JBuds for $8 and don't waste your money on these.
