Overview

Rediscover your music.

Put on the Apple In-Ear Headphones, select your favourite track and hear musical details you never knew existed. It's almost like you're experiencing your music for the first time.

Two drivers in each earpiece.

Each earpiece contains two separate high-performance drivers — a woofer and a tweeter — resulting in rich, detailed and accurate sound reproduction and amazing bass response for all types of music.

Impressive sound isolation.

Choose from three sizes of soft, silicone ear tips for a comfortable, stable fit. When inserted in your ear, they create a seal that blocks outside noise so you can get the most from your music.

Take control.

The control capsule located on the cable of the right earpiece includes a microphone and three buttons. Here's what you can do with this convenient remote:*

  • Adjust volume by pressing the + and - buttons.
  • Control music and video playback — including play/pause and next/previous — by pressing the centre button.
  • Record voice memos on supported devices.
  • Answer and end calls.

Steel mesh caps for protection.

Stainless steel mesh caps protect the precision acoustic components from dust and debris. You can remove the caps for cleaning or replace them with an extra set that's included in the box.

    stunning!!

    • Written by 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 ;)     …More

    Starting to Appreciate

    • Written by 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.     …More

    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.     …More

    Rubbish - a complete rip off

    • Written by from northampton

    I previously owned a SENNHEISER MM30I, having upgraded for the basic apple ear phones. Realising what a difference a quality ear phones can make. I bought these ear phones as an upgrade to SENNHEISER MM30I. The sound quality is rubbish compared to the SENNHEISER MM30I. If you want to buy great ear phones do not buy these. …More

    Very Expensive earphones

    • Written by from Glostrup

    I've had these earphones for about 6-8 months now. I got them because they would block out noise better then the standard earphones - that they do fine.

    if you work in a noisy office, want to block out normal noise in aircrafts or whatever, they work really good, the quality of the sound is pretty good but you need to be sure to squeeze them into your earcanal very much before they work as intended. If they do not lock air-tight to your ear, you'll loose the bass - which is very unfortunate :( .. Having them squeezed in the ear, may result in pain over long use or result in sore ears.. Also you need to clean your ears before use, as they become stuffed with earwax rather often otherwize. (i'm cleaning my earphones once a week i think)

    Wind noise when biking is anoying, i get hizzing everytime there is little wind or biking fast (which i always do) ... i find the noise anoying but still MUCH better then standard earphones !

    Loosing the rubber caps may happen the minute you dont pay attention to the earphones. The caps may fall of taking them out of your ears or having them in a bag... getting new ones aren't a problem if you know your way around on eBay .. but normal retailers can't help :(

    overall im satisfied with the product, the price is just too high     …More

    Good, but...

    • Written by from Rochester

    Sound quality for the price is really good, compared to other brands in the market.

    However, quality of material is a little flakey, as the rubber joiners have all but disappeared, leaving the metal joints showing.

    Still, really happy with the quality and definitely beats the standards headphones you get when you get the device.     …More

    Answer

    Apple in-ear headphones work as headphones on any device with a regular headphone jack. It's possible the microphone may work as well, but the buttons almost certainly wont. If you want to test this, find someone with the regular included apple earphones, and test them on your phone, as they have an identical microphone with buttons. …More
