Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

I GUESS MY EAR PODS WERENT MADE FOR MY EAR BUT IT DOES STAY FOR A WHILE

THEY ARE A GREAT BUY FOR 30 DOLLARS AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS GREAT BUT NOT AT FULL VOLUME

A LITTLE LOUSY FOR PHONE CALLS BUT OTHER THAN THAT ITS A GREAT PAIR OF HEAD PHONES

The sound quality for these earpods is incredible. I've been a diehard fan of the Bose in ear headphones for use with iPod/iPhone. If you like the Bose you will like these. Only downside is that they tend to easily fall out of my ear when moving a lot because the buds are plastic and not ruberrized. But that's just a minor annoyance for me since I'm usually just sitting at my desk mostly immobile.

PRO:
The new Apple EarPods are absolutely better than their predecessor. It has been a long time coming for Apple to redesign their earphones and they have done a superb job. The fit is snug and does not feel that they will fall out. The range of sound (high, mid, low) is smooth and they even produce bass. The remote buttons are larger now, including the middle pause button, which makes volume control/song control a lot more manageable. Now, these are not to be compared to high end headphones or in ear phones. These are definitely a great pair for the $29.99 price, a nice upgrade if you still use the original Apple earphones.

CON:
They are not noise cancelling. For many this may not be an issue but ambient outside noise does require a user to ensure the volume is cranked.

These are really nice headphones, way better than the old ones. They're louder and they fit into my ears way better. But coming from from in-ear buds, it was odd for a few days, but I eventually got used to it. So if you're coming from buds, not headphones like these, give them a few days.

I bought a set of these EarPods a week ago. They are by far the best earbuds I've used to date! The sound quality is superior to every other earphone I've owned - including some rather expensive in-ear canal ones. The only criticism I have, and the reason for the 4 3/4 star rating instead of 5 stars, is the location of the control buttons on the right earphone cord, which I find very awkward and usually results in the right earphone falling out of my ear. Otherwise, they're an absolutely brilliantly designed and engineered product!

The sound quality of these headphones are amazing...I just have no idea how to how them in

I tried them today when my friend's iPhone 5 arrived. They do sound truly wonderful, but anyone around you will also hear what you are listening to and that is unacceptable in a public place like a bus, subway or train...shame.

These new ear pods have good sound quality but they are not very comfortable. I was only able to have them in for about 40 min, they by ears started hurting.

Have an iPhone 4s so I can't, for a bit, order the iPhone 5...but I wanted to join the party. The earpods are very comfortable in my ears. Music sound quality is the BEST I've ever heard in an ear bud. Phone quality was great.

Lost a star because the tiny clip that is on the older headsets to cinch the ear wires closer is not part of EarPod?

And I sure would like to be able to mute the microphone during a call from the remote. Will Apple >ever deliver this??

I'm an audio junkie. I love music and when I find head phones that give me brilliant highs as well as crisp lows I'm dedicated. That being said, I found these headphones being good for $30 but their sound wasn't the greatest. I mean if you're coming from a ten dollar pair of headphones then these will blow your mind, but if you're coming from anything else and thinking about upgrading you're best going elsewhere for a clearer sound.
