Will the EarPods work with other smartphones and audio devices?
The new EarPods look like incredible headphones and I'm wondering if I can use them with my Android device since I'm not an iPhone user. I understand the remote and volume control are software based and thus not supported, but what about the audio enhancements.

Are the apple earpods good for working out and running?

Best Answer
Yes these are great for running. I ran 5 miles with them yesterday, and only had to adjust the fit maybe twice. One fell out once, but when I replaced it, it fit right immediately - no adjusting necessary. And then, then sound is awesome, unbelievable amount of base on those little suckers! 5 stars from me!

Insurance/Warranty?
I'm planning on buying these earbuds. However, with my previous experience with Apple's headphones, it doesn't take long for them to stop working. Luckily for me I could always go back to the store and replace it thanks to my AppleCare contract. However, that contract is now used up and have no additional warranty for the headphones. Say if I buy the headphones and they become defective (by themselves, no damage caused by me at all), when is the latest I can get an exchange for the headphones? Also is there an AppleCare contract for the headphones alone?
