    They nailed it

    I've been doing earbud comparisons all day and I'm seriously impressed with these new earpods. They brought out the lower mids and bass much more than I was expecting, but in a tasteful balance. Personally, I can't stand having something shoved down my ear canal but that was usually the only way to get deep bass in an earbud. These are the best bass response I've heard yet in a sit-in-the-ear design. Good job apple.

    ps: If they sound tinny as I've read happened for at least one guy, just send them back. Those are definitely broken. There's no way you'd call these tinny.

    These seem to fit better than any other in-ear headphones. I am able to wear them for long periods of time (1-2 hrs.)... sometimes even longer, without discomfort. I would recommend these to anyone. The case is really cool and functional as well... Apple could have made the case a tiny bit bigger on the inside... so that the cable can wrap around inside nicer and with little more room for the cable. Other than that, these ear pods are pretty nice.

    Fall out of my ears in about 10 seconds unless I'm sitting still. Hey it's cool I shouldn't walk or run and also try to listen to music.

    These headphones are amazing. From the moment they were in my ears I could tell Apple really spent some time looking at the shape of the ear. Other headphones hurt my ears but these do not one bit. The quality is awesome! Apple did a really good job with this new headphone style!

    Totally awesome!! Best 30 bucks I've spent on buds

    I got a pair of these for my iPhone 4S and was blown away with how good they sounded. Had my wife try them and they worked very good for her. So I went out and got her a pair, which she is very satisfied with.

    These buds reproduce sound every bit as good as a pair of Monsters that I tried. As far as comfort goes, I can hardly tell that they are there. Haven't had any problems with them falling out even with moderate activity.

    Such a nice upgrade from the earbuds

    I've always liked Apple's earbuds but my wife can't use them, she finds them uncomfortable but the new EarPods are very comfortable to both of us and music sounds so much better with these than the earbuds. The remote on the pods works just how it did before. The two big differences are the sound quality, which is a huge upgrade, and the comfort, which is also much better-they fit great and don't fall out like before.

    The iPhone 5 need a little work (maps), but over all a great phone. The EarPods are GREAT! The bass and the comfort of the pods are above what I was expecting. I use these often and often on long trips or phone calls. This is a must buy for any apple product!

    Yea, the new Iphone5 is Dope! but honestly I am digging the new EarPods. $30 dollars for these? are you kidding me? That is a steal!!! Bass response is like WHOA! Simple and pure just like all of Apple products. No crazy gummie adapters and hooks to make them fit right, these are a true engineering masterpiece. Anyone who was not able to upgrade to the new iPhone or IPods needs to get these, trust me, it will be $30 well spent.

    Well built ear buds but a little off on the fit.

    • Written by from LEXINGTON

    I gave this product 3 stars not because they're poor headphones but because they seem to have been built for people who have absolutely tiny ear canals.

    I don't have a large ear canal (I typically hover between a small and medium rubber cone on more inner ear headphones) but these things fall out of my ear with the smallest tug or quick movement. And working out? Forget that.

    Before you buy them, I would try to grab a friends and do a fit test. Again, they're very high quality construction, sound nice but they absolutely will NOT fit everyone's ear.

    These headphones are great. There is a significant improvement in sound and while i can't speak for everyone, they are extremely comfortable. So glad they came included with the iPhone 5.

    The Best EarPods!

    I just bought the iPhone5; it came with this great EarPods. At first, I was skeptical because of the way they look...until I put them on and listen to the music with it; WOW!, not only they fit perfectly in my ears; the sounds is amazing and the pods are very comfortable you can almost sleep with them on ( I did). Now, I will buy another set for my husband who has sensitive ears....greatly recommend this EarPods!

    These are the most comfortable & best sounding earphones you can buy for $30. I have a pair of Klipsch S5i ($130) and Bose(100) and they are almost on par with the sound quality. I wouldn't recommend them for the gym though if you sweat a lot. Thanks Apple for upgrading these and keeping them cheap!

    I own several pair of earbuds and head phones, from the Dre Beats Tours, monster turbines, and turbines gold pro, to bose in ear even the Monster Ncredibles but by far these are the best earphones I have heard at this price point. They sound better that the bose in-ear earbud and are far more comfortable. I am recommending these earpods to everyone I know. In my opinion you would be a fool not to take advantage of such awesome sound technology. The highs are crisp, the mid full and rich and the low are deep and solid. I am so glad I purchased these keep up the good work apple.

    I don't usually review things - but these headphones are really great. I've been all over the place trying to find a decent pair of earphones that will play good sound; these are by far the cheapest and best buy.. ever. I listen to dubstep a lot, so these have good bass compared to older earphones from apple.

    I had to grab a pair after reading and hearing about how good these were and they definitely lived up to my expectations. Perfect amount of bass and very very clear sound. Defintely worth $35 and I recommend anyone looking for ear phones to pick up a pair.

    These headphones fit better, sound better and are more comfortable than any other headphones out there (aside from headphones that cover the ear). I've had Beats by Dre, Bose and other high end headphones and these are super awesome!! Did I mention the come with your iPhone 5, if you don't have an iPhone 5 their only $30!!

    MUSIC EXPLOSION!!

    • Written by from Rockwood

    17 of 17 people found this useful

    I've always been a big fan of Apple products. Even though I don't use an iPod for listening to music, I still by the Apple Earbuds, due to how much clearer and crisp the music sounds, compared to other earbuds. My last set broke, so I went to the store to pick up some new ones. I couldn't find them on the shelf, and was about to ask a Walmart Employee where they were (which is the equivalent of being told absolutely nothing), but then spotted these on a display. I bought them, and didn't think much as I put them in my ears for the first time, other than how much cooler the style looks compared to the older pair.

    I WAS SPEECHLESS.

    The music was much more crisp than ever, the sound was louder, and the effects of the bass was amazing. I went through different genres such as Rock, Elector/Techno, and Country, testing out the bass.

    These are definitely a great buy, and are now my go-to earbuds, whenever I need a new pair.

    the best ever Apple earphones

    I have a draw full of white wired Apple earphones but this Apple Earpods are really an improvement. They do not fall out of my ears and I hardly notice them wearing. Most important: the sound is pleasant.
