Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic

Apple should have thought of this.

Right, first off, I want to say how much of a standard set of earphones these are, once you use them out of the box. It's just so STANDARD.

Then, the SECRET. Apparently, all you need to do is get some of the foams and voilà! Earphones that sound better than those entry-level in-ear types (CX300 EP-630 etc).

Apparently, what I found out was that when you put them in your ear, the ear phones do not transmit all the power. But with foam, it acts as a cushion, helps the earphones stay in the ear, and increases the quality of the sound/bass/treble by at least 300%.

I'm using Plantronics ear foams with them now and I'm not coming back. You can order differently coloured ones over the usual auction sites. :)

Most of all, it makes wearing them VERY COMFORTABLE. A must for those who listen at length.

I hope this was helpful guys.

Great headphones

Great headphones, with a good quality- Well worth the price and workes wonders with my iPod Touch (2nd gen).
Also they are comfy and fits my ears well.

The only thing i could say to improve them is for the edges of the remote to be smoother, because when i am listning to music, i tend to put the cable down my top so it doesn't get in the way...but the only thing is every now and again it catches you which doesn't hurt, just can be enoying and itchy... but still a great product!!

The delivery was fast and everything was in good condition as usual. the headphone quality was better than the standard ones but it's selling for the same price! remote function, works really well!. You may think that the mic is really small, but i call my cousin on skype and he said it was like being called from a local, and i was calling from the UK to Brunei! I just have one suggestion, pack this with the future ipods, please? :)

Apple failed to disappoint!

Just Perfect

I know a lot of people have given a negative review to these earphones with remote and mic, "They are too short" or "There isn't enough bass" ok let me start with the short comment... How tall are all of these people! It goes from my pocket to my ears just fine with room to spare! They are fine. Now "No Bass" put the bass booster EQ on and... Ta dah. And lastly some people complain about them being badly made and don't last a long time... Well that's not true, I've had mine over a year now and they still look as good as new, treat your products with care and they will last you forever. In conclusion a great addition for my iPod touch, no more fumbling about with changing the volume or pausing, I can use Skype and other Mic apps, in all this is a well worth product to get, it's just what every iPod Touch user should have to start off with!

Good product

Dont' know if you all have elephant ears or what.
I do a lot of running and cycling with these earphones and not once in 3 months have they fallen out. Very good sound quality also.
Or you can use the in-ear model for sports.

Reading all the reviews for different products I have realized a lot of reviewers don't know how to use a toilet, let alone use an electronical device. On the many Apple products I have owned, I have never had any problems with none of them (and I never went easy on any of them)

Love them!

Written by RC from BELFAST

I got these with my iPhone. I love the way you can record voice memo's really quick and easy with the remote control, as well as turn the ipod volume up and down, and I love the way I can use voice control through them. They honestly are simply genius. As for how long they last for, I have no comment as I have only had them for about 2 months; but they seem to be doing well upto now! They are also very comfortable in my ear, and fit just perfect. Honestly, simply genius!

Fantastic!

Written by JB from Stoke-on-Trent

These earphones are great. I prefer them to the in-ear version as they are not so anti-social! Being able to have your iPod in your pocket and control the volume and tracks is so much easier with the remote, and the microphone quality is surprisingly good with a very clear tone. These are a must have!

Simple and great!

Written by GH from London

15-Jan-2009

It is a great earphone using with my iTouch (2nd gen). Simple controls, more comfortable materials (less plastic feeling) and the same sound quality and for the SAME PRICE as before! The only thing: U need to be careful not to press the play button (no lock on it). I can just recommend it!

Good, but could have a longer cord.

Written by HL from Oxford

31-Jan-2009

The earphones are sensitive, and the remote is a great idea. I have been waiting for these to be available for ages. I use them with my 2nd gen iPod touch and they are good. The reason that I bought these was to have my ipod in my bag, but still be able to change the music. The reason that I have not given these five stars is that they do not have much length in them, and they do not work with my earphone extenders. On their own they do not have much slack in the cord. If they came with or even sold these extenders then I would give five stars.

These work with the iPhone too!

Written by GP from BOGNOR REGIS

13-Feb-2009

I've always used Apple headphones with my Apple products, but when these came out I was disappointed that it said they weren't compatible with the iPhone. However, when my iPhone headset's driver went in the right earplug, I thought, well, I can't hurt to try.
The remote looked much cooler than the one on the iPhone headset and I was worried that it wouldn't work with the iPhone, but it actually does!
The only thing that doesn't work is the volume controls but the main button and the mic work wonderfully. And, that doesn't really matter, as the iPhone has volume control buttons on the side of the phone, and even with my thick wooly gloves on, I can still change the volume on the phone when it's in my pocket.

Definitely a great buy for iPhone and iPod users!

Amazing headphones if you take care of them

Written by DB

16-Sep-2009

I got these headphones with the ipod shuffle 3rd gen and to start off the sound quality coming out of them was amazing. until I accidentally dropped them on the floor and my dog stepped on them and one of the earphones went loose a little bit so the bass rumbled it about so it made one side sound a bit rubbish. so if you buy them take care of them.

Review of Apple Earphones

Written by DH from Brighton

02-Oct-2009

After buying some new iPod earphones directly from the apple store in Brighton, i thought it would be a good idea to share my views on them.

First of all, fro £21 just for simple or-earphones it may seem like a lot of money however, for that, customers can expect apple's unique headphone style, an inline remote with microphone and slightly better sound quality than the headphones bundled with the original iPod/iPhone.

The inline remote works very well as you don't have to keep on getting out the iPod/iPhone to change the track. This defiantly saves on a lot of battery life as the screen is never lit up. With the ability to pause, play, skip, previous and increase/decrease the volume, most of the functions are on the remote. however, before you buy these: i bought these for my iPhone 2g, and the volume changer doesn't seem to have an impact on the actual volume coming through. this maybe because of a faulty product, however i have heard other people having this issue so its unlikely to be a faulty product.

Finally, i believe that these earphones give slightly better performance than the the original phones. this is only a slight increment, however it is noticeable. there is deeper bass which is defiantly a welcomed addition. this performance increase however may because of the constant use my old earphones got over a 6 month period. Either way, i would still say that they are marginally better.

So, to sum up, i personally believe that these earphones are worth the £21 price tag, however if you want alot better quality than the originals then look at shure, bose or sennheiser phones. 4*
