    Initially I was apprehensive, I liked the previous apple earphones design and thought that the new quirky styling of these was a demonstration of apple taking innovation beyond its limit. However, after having a listen courtesy of my girlfriend whom had recently brought an IPhone 5 which indeed came equipped with these earphones or 'pods' rather, I now admittedly state that I am more than impressed with the product. The sound quality is phenomenal, apple really have thought of everything on this one (compliments to the genius who decided to add two speaker outputs per earpod). I will definitely be purchasing some for myself. Great stuff.

    Ive had countless pairs of earphone and headphones and these do not disappoint!
    Clear sound and great bass.
    Think you would struggle to find a better pair for the money.

    I found the old apple headphones uncomfortable after a while and I know many people that had managed to break their own set of old apple headphones. However this new design is fantastic. Apple have thought outside the box and creating this knew comfortable listening experience. Highly Recommend Them!

    I bought Apple EarPods as my earphones were water damaged after a lot of use in the rain (obviously rain and earphones,in most situations obviously aren't friends) and they died eventually after various soakings.

    The Apple EarPods, the earphones I bought as a replacement to my old earphones are amazing, the quality is decent and design is good too

    My controller does not work - it keeps telling my device to play and pause, play and pause all the time. I will be returning it later this week.

    In ear fit

    I initially found that the headphones fell out; I must not have 'normal' ears. However if they are fitted with the small foam covers, they stay in the ears perfectly. You can buy packs of earphone foam covers from about £1.50 for five pairs on eBay. I think the sound and functionality of these earphones perfectly suites the iphone5.

    Contrastingly amazing

    Some of Apple's decisions lately, are totally ridiculous.
    But these earphones remind me of Steve Jobs era; they take something and redesign it, and it works out bloomin' brilliantly.

    Got my new iPhone today and I keep listening to music through these earphones instead of my KRK speakers.

    Sit very comfortably, and the bass response is exceptional. If you listen to music a lot and don't have these, buy some.

    £25 is an amazing price for these.

    Earpods are great

    • Written by from WAKEFIELD

    The earpods are great they sit in the ear well and the base and tone of the music is better they also have a feeling of surround sound when listening to them even though I got the earpods with my iPhone 5 purches I would still strongly recommend buying them separate for anyone who want some good fairly cheap for the quality headphone. Well done Apple I can see these been very successful.

    You really can't do much better at this price...

    ...and to be honest, I've heard far more expensive pairs of buds, and full over/on ear 'phones that are nothing better. For anyone, like me coming from the previous generation Apple 'phones, rest assured. These are a vast improvement, nice deep bass, clear, crisp, plenty of punch. My personal bug is wooly and damp sounding drums, and after trying these out with both New Order and Led Zep (for the digital and real thing), they perform brilliantly.

    No problems with the fit, in fact they seem to be a bit more snug and shaped for comfort over the older ones, so I must have normal ears!

    Considering the price, the neat organising and storage case is a wonderful little bonus. So dinky and pocketable, and no more tangles. Took all of a minute to work out how to wind, and now I can do it without even looking in seconds.

    Was thinking these would tide me over 'till I treated myself to a £170 pair of Phillips on-ear Fidelios. May wait a bit longer now...

    Was this useful? You really can't do much better at this price...

    Very happy

    Have just spent a week at work using these on my iPhone 4, listening to podcasts & music whilst taking the odd phone call.
    The fit, sound quality and ease of use are simply perfect.
    They are far far superior to the original iPhone standard earphones.
    When buying I was not too happy with paying out another £25, but after this week it has been clearly money well spent and are thoroughly recommended.

    Fall straight out

    Just received these and they won't stay in my ears at all. When Apple say they stay in, I would like to know how may people they tested them on and for how many they did not stay put. My ears may not be suitable but that will be true for others. So my advice would be, don't buy until you have tried a set to check they stay in your ear. Can't comment on the sound quality for obvious reasons.

    I can't believe the quality and price of this new product from apple. I fall in love with these headphones every time I listen to music.
    Perfect bass and sound quality matches headphones worth probably £100.
    Thanks Apple you rock.

    Painful

    • Written by from Woking

    8 of 10 people found this useful

    The sound quality is good for the price but if you have smaller ears they become really painful after 10 minutes and they won't stay put. After a week mine went in the bin. Couldn't stand the pain in my ears when I wore them.

    Don't Fit ...

    The title says it all. These annoyingly weedle their way out of your ears. The sound is just about passable but the awkward ergonomics to the ear canal means the sound is not delivered where it should be. I have been incredulous for years that apple can get so many products right yet they cannot, it seems, produce a set of headphones that perform. This is an essential component and I would like to see apple include a worthy headphone to compliment their repertoire.
