Overview
Rediscover your music.
Put on the Apple In-Ear Headphones, select your favorite 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.

Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic
stunning!!
Written by MH from moseley
14-Dec-2008
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 ;) …More612 of 708 people found this useful

Starting to Appreciate
Written by CT from Bearsden
15-Dec-2008
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. …More390 of 479 people found this useful

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. …More376 of 464 people found this useful

Apple in ear terrible
Written by AM from Glasgow
11-Dec-2009
I don't know where the good reviews come from. I'm comparing these to free headphones that came with the iPhone. The normal ones have good bass & sound. These in ears, comparing them, have no bass and terrible sound. You need to turn the volume right up to get any decent sound or any bass at all. Any £15 decent branded in-ear pair would annihilate these terrible headphones.
2 stars because they do drown out outside sound, they're good at that. But why if you still need to turn them right up to try and hear anything? Shame as I really love the remote & mic. If you're just looking for in-ear headphones and don't care about the mic: Don't buy these! …MoreWas this useful?

I'D AVOID THESE
Written by KB from Rugeley
11-Dec-2009
I bought some of these three months ago. Here are four reasons why I recommend you should avoid them.
(i) Some of the reviewers mention that the earbuds didn't fit them. Before buying them I asked the Apple Store staff what happens if they don't fit. They told me it was a risk I had to take, and that they wouldn't accept them back, even if I tried them on whilst still in the store. Fortunately for me, the smallest earbuds were just about small enough. (It turns out I have narrow ear canals, which was news to me.)
(ii) The sound isn't great. Don't get me wrong, it's _much_ better than the standard iPhone headphones, largely because of the fact that they have such good contact, but I was surprised that there wasn't more bass. Before buying them, I read reviews that said the same, but I suspected the reviewers were audio connoisseurs who were deliberating over things that were barely discernible. If you're the kind of person who notices the difference between good audio and bad audio (my Mum wouldn't, for example), then you'll probably feel the same.
(iii) They're less robust that all the other iPhone/iPod headphones I've had. The bottom-most rubber parts on both sides have both detached and now slide up and down the leads.
(iv) The earbuds slide off ridiculously easily. I lose one about once a week, and have to go searching for it. (Sometimes, it's still in my ear.) I've had to crawl around pub floors, shop floors, take my clothes off (not in public), etc. Apple don't provide replacements, which is outrageous! Fortunately, I've just discovered that you can buy replacements elsewhere: try searching Google or eBay for something like "replacement tips/earbuds small for apple headphones". Until I discovered these resellers, I was furious at Apple, and was going to give the headphones a one-star review.
You can go running with them. Yes, the headphone cable makes a lot of noise with each step—because it transmits the vibrations directly to your ears—but I thread them under the sleeve of my running vest, or wrap them around the back of my neck, and that makes them acceptable. …More1 of 1 people found this useful

Great headphones on the 3GS
Written by GG from Edinburgh
07-Dec-2009
All the features work (including the volume) on the 3GS. The sound is crystal clear. At first I thought they sounded way too trebley. Change the ear covers for the large size and made sure they were in the ear fully and they sound great. A slight increase in bass would give them 5 stars, but I am more than happy listening to electronic/drum n bass and other dance genres with them. …More

Are you able to stop/pause songs and use the mic for handsfree on the 3G iPhone?
- Asked by CP from Calgary
- 06-Oct-2009
Best Answer
Yes you can, when a call comes in it will automatically pause your music and allow you to press the middle grey button on the remote to answer the call, this will then activate the mic and allow you to take the call, once the call has ended, or you disconnect from the call your music will start playing where it left off, It's great! You can also pause your music at anytime by pressing the middle grey button on the remote. Hope this helped :) …More
