Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic

Be Worldy but Enjoy the Music!

This amazing pair of headphones really excell in most catagories. Of course music fanatics will look down on owners of these and scoff with Shure headphones costing at least 300 times the price.
Shop around and if possible actually listen to them before you buy!
I got an amazing deal, way below the average RRP so maybe this sweetened the deal but even at full RRP I wouldn't have been disappointed.
So then, its time you dumped those old, original iPod headphones and got some thing well made, beautifully designed and most importantly something that will make your music sound great!
I have no idea what high ends and low ends are and what to look for and I don't really care, all I know is that these are leaps and bounds over anything I have ever owned.

Great Head Phones

I wonder if there are some production issues affecting the guys who have given this one star. My headphones are fantastic, really clear sound, crisp, detailed and informed.

The headphones had very crisp, amazing sound and it blocks all sound around making the sound even more intense.

Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic

Better than expected

Written by LS from Downend

I bought these after my Sennheiser buds snapped and I wanted some buds that didn't have an asymmetrical cable.

The guy in the apple store told me that the smallest silicon heads work the best, but upon testing I found that the smaller ones didn't quite 'grip' properly and thus didn't reproduce the bass - hence why some reviewers here have noted that you can only hear bass by ramming the phones deep into your ear. If you swop for larger heads the phones will grip properly and bass will sound brilliant.

Remote works brilliantly and these are the only headphones I've used where the mic is light enough to not pull down on the buds. With my 3Gs the voice control is good and people can hear me more clearly than they could with the Sennheisers.

I tested out the other problem that some reviewers have found that 'flicking' the cable causes resonation in the ear. It will. So don't flick it! I have my cables tucked into my tshirt and as such nothing will hit them. If you insist on wearing them on the outside of clothing then these may not work best for you.

On a sports side, these phones do not even wriggle out of my ears. You often find that with some in-ear buds you can hear your jaw and pulse etc when the music is quiet. I found these buds didn't do this at all, only once but I had the bud in at an odd angle.

Really good sound, I listen to a range of music and metal sounds just as good as hip-hop. Dance music sounds good with tinny hi-hats and basslines reproducing brilliantly.

Recommended upgrade if you find the iPhone's supplied buds fall out of your ears.

Excellent - please read this!

Just bought these from the Apple Store in Southampton. I decided to go for it anyway regardless of the reviews here.

Firstly, the sound quality is excellent, including the bass. I have bass boost selected on my iPhone and the headphones can handle it superbly. I have compared these with my favourite Shures and the original iPhone earbuds and these win hands down for this price. They filter out background noise very well allowing you to keep the volume turned down by about 30% compared to the original earbuds to achieve a similar volume. Yes you do get cable noise but then you get that with all in-ear phones.

All remote controls work perfectly for the iPhone 3 GS. Buy these - I'm sure you won't regret it!

Simple & Beautiful

After spending hours and days of reading reviews on headsets, I settled on this pair. I am very happy with my purchase. Once plugged in, you cannot hear anything else but the music. The high sound quality allows you to hear every word of the lyrics, and every instrument. I was also inclined to hear more bass and considering to buy higher end headsets, naturally more expensive ones, yet this pair comes with enough bass so as not to give you headaches but delivers clear, nice sounding music. It is for sure that these are way better than the standard Apple headphones, and after comparing it with my Sony MDR - XD100, this one left Sony way behind.

What I wanted was a compatible headset with 3GS with full remote control and on top of it nice sound quality without putting my wallet on fire. If that's what you after, get them without any hesitation.

top earphones at great price!

WOW, really impressed with these head phones.

i brought the last in-ear headphones from apple, but took them back because they were naff, with bad ammounts of bass and didnt stay in my ears.

giving them another chance, because i know apple always deliver in the end! these new ones are amazing, the ammount of noise detail and base means that im hearing parts and instruments in song i didnt even know were there!

compared to all the other in-ear noise cancellation head phones, these come in at one of the cheapest, they come with a stylish hard case and capsul for they buds, which means no tangled up headphone nd no broken wires!

well made, strongly recomended!

Excellent headphones

First, good efficiency! It just took 3 days to arrive in front of me. It's the first time I've bought a pair of extra in-ear headphones and I'm generally quite impressed. Excellent bass and clarity. I heard some subtle sounds I haven't noticed before. In addition they look really sexy in the traditional Apple-ish white colour. I'd definitely suggest buying them.

8 years in the making!

I purchased these from the Apple store at the Trafford Centre the day they were released. I had never liked the the original apple headphones as they always fell out when you made the slightest movement so I purchased a pair of 'skull candy' headphones for £20.00.

The apple fits well but note that the controls do not work with any ipods other than the current generation. They have fantastic bass but Id hoped they would be a little louder but if you push them into your ear (safely!) they drowned out all the surrounding noise which does the trick!

A stirling buy!

Awesome range!!!

excellent sound quality top to bottom great for rock songs and handles pretty much everything i could throw at them from my iphone. The remote DOES work with the same functionality as the standard set but the volume does NOT but since the quality and sheer noise that comes from these are so good we can overlook that i think.

These earphones are great. When I bought them, I thought that they were broken as I was so used to the poor sounding music. A few listens now and I know I should have bought them sooner.
My recommendation is to buy them. You will not regret it.

These headphones are great!

Very good sound quality, bass and treble. They block outside noise and look stylish. Ear-buds are well fitted to prevent slipping out.

Great value for money. A must have!

I must say i was a bit dubious at first after reading the reviews but i got a good deal on a set and thought not. And am i glad i did. They are brilliant. Great full rich sound. A pleasure to listen too.
Shame the volume control doesn't work on the iphone but the sound more than makes up for it.

Right... If your like i was and not sure whether you should splash the cash on these then listen to what i've got to say, many people seem to have a one sided view.

In short, i've had these for a week now and i was dubious to both the build and performance quality having read the views but took the plunge and went for them.

In my opinion there great, but are totally different to the standard headphones. They fit snug in the ear and if you want high end bass they do have to be pushed quite far in, and do sound like your wearing ear plugs when your not listening to music, but overall the sound quality is excellent, low, mid, and high range are all excellent.

Build quality so far seems excellent, and if your ears are wet they do work themselves a little loose, but if there for the gym just make sure your ear canals are dry before you start sweating and your fine.

The volume buttons on the mic remote don't work for the iphone or 3g yet, but should be part of the v3.0 firmware.

Mine haven't fallen apart yet, and show no sign of any wear yet, and i've been assured by the apple genius at the store that they come with a year warranty.

My only negative really is that apple at present don't sell replacement buds. But then what is ebay for?

I have read many reviews, as you have too I expect. There are objectors. Some are erudite, some are less so. Ignore them all. These are absolutely FAB. Sound quality is very good. They feel fine and the sound is great. They DO NOT fall out of my ears. The mic works perfectly. My iPod touch is now a wireless iPhone. Thank you Skype!
