Weak Buds

Written by LC from Brooklyn

Apple, I was sure I was getting a superior product, I was so wrong. They were not a cheap pair of ear buds coming from apple. But they sure sound cheap. The out-put is weak. the bass is very disappointing and the trebble just sounds bad. not worth the money. Do better with a less expensive (a lot less expensive) pair of buds. Not to mention the Mic and remote didn't work on my ipod.

Great sound and design.

When I first got these I thought they were uncomfortable, then I realized it's just the nature of in-ear headphone to feel very different at first. Now they feel amazing in my ears and I love the quality and the case they come with is great.

Perfect sound... unfrtunatly

Written by MK from Glen Williams

These must be the best head phones I have ever used! They have amazing sound and i must say the remote was very useful. i bought them for my 120 gb classic and loved them till the left one started buzzing persistantly. thi was so annoying i bought a pair of Skullcandy FMJ's and they were almost as good not as comfotable but still souded ok, after having them completely die on me i went back to these. the left headphone had stopped it's annoying buzzing noise, or so it seemed as it started again around a week ago. as of now the left is completely dead and the right is starting to do the same i bought them last Feb and got the sk's in june, went back to these midway through september. I will be buying another pair for the amazing sound and hoping they last longer then my first did.

pro's : beautiful rich full sound, amazing fit and comfort, handy remote, surprisingly high quality mic, spare mesh caps

con's : didn't last long sounding the way they were supposed to, and the ear tips are smooth not grooved underneath so they easily fall off the unit if yanked or pulled hard.

Well, the remote works...

I was immediately disappointed with the lack of bass. I got used to that eventually, but when I put my old Sonys on I am reminded of all that beautiful bass I have been missing.

The worst thing I hate about these headphones are the tiny electric shocks to my ears on a dry day. I returned these once because of this and the second pair did the same thing, but on the other ear. This is intermittent but the every-ten seconds-or-so shocks destroy my ability to enjoy the music.

And the rubber ferrules where the wire attaches to the bud have become unattached and disintegrated. I reattached them with a dab of silicon glue, but the rubber continues to disintegrate.

Good try Apple, but these headphones are not good.

Silicone ear pieces go missing...

Written by GL from Worthington

Nov 24, 2009

I love these in-ear head phones & remote mic... but they do constantly fall out of my ears and then the worst thing happens... a siiicone ear piece goes missing. Many times we've been lucky & found them in the washer, on the gravel, under the car seat, & even on our much treaded path in our woods. I've already lost both size small ear pieces, so now my ear buds probably fall out because the medium size is too big? Point is: it is too easy for the ear pieces to come off, and get lost and there does not seem to be an easy way to replace them.

Not up to expectation...

Written by AB from EVANSTON

I thought In-Ear would provide the comfort I was looking for. Unfortunately, they should provide beautiful sound quality, but I didn't feel comfortable at all with them. They don't fit firmly on ear, and so I had to very frequently plug them back into my ears...I very much like the standard iPhone headphones, they're great.

Excellent Sound but...

Written by IC from Rockport

Nov 22, 2009

I have a discerning ear - excellent music reproduction for headphones in the "in ear" category. I also enjoy how well they isolate you from the outside noise. My only objection is that they don't stay in your ears when you are moving about. It's an all or nothing proposition. I like to use my Ipod while I'm working and these are amongst the worst headphones I've ever experienced in this regard. It's frustrating. If you are relatively stationary I'd give these headphones 5 STARS. I went back to the headphones that come with the Ipod. There sound quality is a level or two below the In-Ear but they stay in my ears sufficiently enough for my needs. I love the built in Remote and Mic on both products.

Wonderful Quality!

Written by BS from Jamesville

The sound is simply amazing, light years ahead of other in-ear headphones. Like most apple products, the design, from the remote, to the case, is functional and stylish. Huge upgrade from the included earbuds or other brands like Skullcandy.

Crisp!

Written by AR from Ogden

Nov 19, 2009

I have never had a set of In-Ear headphones that have stayed in so my expectation was low. After I realized that these ones actually do fit I was even more surprised at how clean the sound is! The seal is so tight in your ear however that it does sound a little odd when using them for speaking on the phone. (sorta hard to gage how loud you are speaking). I would recommend these if you have the money to do so. Great for listening to music, Odd for speaking on the phone.

Major let down

Written by SW from scotts valley

Nov 16, 2009

These headphones have terrible sound. I just bought them today and honestly, I would rather use the regular headphones that come with the iPods. There is bass, thought little, and the speakers do a good job of muffling exterior noise, but there is no treble or juicy bass. I also have the Bose in-ear headphones, but bought these for the remote. The Bose in-ear headphones are FAR superior...delicious bass and treble for $20 more. All the hype about these headphones is overrated...not worth $80...not a chance.

Underwhelmed

Written by PC from Longueuil

Nov 16, 2009

Sound is pretty good, and they are comfortable. The silicon ear buds stay flexible and are good at blocking out exterior sound.

But I must say, the build quality of the cabling is pretty bad. The sheaths over the connectors all came unglued and disintegrated after 6 months. It wasn't long after that I lost sound in the right ear-bud. $90 for earbuds that last 8 months? I don't think so.

They are greatttt except....

Written by JR from NEW YORK

They are not build for constant use like daily commute or any intense workout. The best is the noise cancellation. I wish they were built to take a good beating.

Worst Apple Product I've Had

Written by TW from Keller

Nov 14, 2009

I bought this set of earphones at the beginning of the year. Within 30 days one of the rubber earbud covers came off. Luckily I found it after a few minutes of searching. However, one or the other covers comes off periodically. Since they are made of rubber they have a tendency to catch onto different things and come off. Now I lost another one have been looking for it since this morning. I am giving up. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.

Lasted 8 months only.... but i'm still going to go buy another pair

Written by AR from Markham

Nov 14, 2009

i use them everyday and they stay in my pocket. overall they had a good life span compared to any other headphone. The only problem is the filters get clogged badly in 2 months for me. The problem with mine is the rubber isn't very good and i had duct tape on mine. But i will still go get another pair

(cause of death: right headphone with no audio even with out the mesh cap)

great headphones

Written by MS from Burlington

Nov 13, 2009

I researched earphones within a similar price range for days before settling on these for my iPhone. I've had them for about 5 months now, and am very happy with them: the sound quality is great, the silicone seal works well to block out background noise, and they are durable (especially if you keep them in the included triangular case). The remote on the earphones is quite convenient if you carry your device in your pocket. The sound quality is leaps above the normal white ones you get, and the price isn't terribly bad. I recommend them.
