    It looks awesome but I couldn't fix it in the ear. I think, I need some video to understand how to fix it on my ear.

    Much better

    • Written by from Moerbeke-Waas

    I have used the earpods for a week now and I have to say they are much better than the previous apple earphones. They fit perfectly, exellent sound quality. I surely recommend them to anyone who is thinking about buying earphones, for only 29euro they are perfect.

    There are the best headphones I have except for 3 negative things.

    A-the sound isn't as loud when turned all the way up like on the earbuds with mic and remote.
    B-distorted sound when all the way up.
    C-needs louder sound!!!!!

    They sound amazing but...

    they're no high end headphones. I have no idea why people keep saying they're better than their high ends. What high ends are you listening to? I have the Shure SE535 and they're are arguably the best inears ever created. Also very expensive. But Apple's headphones don't even come close. So whatever "highend" you were listening to before, go get some new, real ones.

    Great, but not for everyone

    • Written by from Ypsilanti

    While these are the best headphones I have ever used in terms of clarity and great bass, the fit is something to be desired. Apple advertised these as fitting a variety of ear types, but they do not fit my ears. As soon as I put them in, they fall out. I had some of my friends put them in and they had no issues. It appears as though certain people, including myself, do not have ears like those that Apple tested on. I wish Apple would develop in-ear versions of these, since those seem to be the only type that will stay in my ears.

    Impressed.

    • Written by from plymouth

    I have owned many iPods, and iPhones before, but was never even able to listen to the old headphones as they were very uncomfortable, and sounded TERRIBLE. After watching a few early reviews of these before i got my iPhone 5, i figured they'd be o.k. I own many headphones that sound A LOT better, and are literally ranging from 100-200$. (none of them are beats) haha. I figured i wasnt up for much until opening these up and putting in my ears... Wow. these are comfortable i said. I then put on music and said.... BASS... IN APPLE EARBUDS!?!? They sounded nice! Moral of the story is that i have actually been using these when in school in lieu of my more expensive headphones. I definitely would say if you like plain ol' earbuds and don't have much money, buy these. But honestly? I don't think most people should go out and spend money on them unless they're free with your iPhone or iPod.

    30$ well spent.

    I drove over an hr and entered a super crowded Apple store to get my hand on a pair of these and let me tell you for 30$ i couldn't be more happy. I am all out fan of rock music and the base come out in all the music i listen to beautifully. Some people say the treble is lacking and i agree some but after EQ its beautiful and 30$ is just so affordable. A very good buy.

    A step in the right direction

    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 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.

    Just got them and they are all they are promised to be!!

    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??

    This is by far the best earphones however they still hurt my ears after an hour of wearing them, I have the issue with most earphones that are built to stay in the ear tightly, the old type was comfortable but they fall out. The sound is great though.

    Earpods Review 9/17/12

    Took a star off because I felt like the bass was just too rich for my taste. But yes, the remote is really something special. I love how I can feel the click better and it fits better in my hands.

    Would have given these Ear Pods five stars but......

    • Written by from HONOLULU

    ............right before walking out of the store I had plugged them into my iPhone and stuffed the iPhone into my cargo shorts pocket. First thing I noticed was the music sounded so incredibly clear and not muddled like my Klipsch S4i. Then when I got a song with some nice bassy notes I was like wow amazed. It plays a variety of music so very well. The next thing I noticed is that the wire could have been a bit longer. I can't count the number of times I hit the wire with my hand while walking and the pods got pulled out (not completely but enough to have to be stuffed back into my ears.) The Ear Pods do fit into my ears nicely. It's does NOT totally seal out the outside sounds like the silicone on my Klipsch S4i BUT what it lacks in keeping the noise out it more than makes up in quality sound. The other insane thing is that if you're into blasting the music to the point of damaging your ears then these Ear Pods blast ! Even while blasting loud they don't distort until you get near the absolute maximum volume which is wayyyyy loud ! Amazing headphones for a mere $29.00. So my only beef with these is the wire being a bit too short (and I am not that tall, nearly 6 feet) and I would have preferred the color not be white. I don't like announcing to people that I am listening to an Apple product AND I just don't like white. But I will tolerate the color until there comes a time they come out with another color. Why? Because they sound absolutely fantastic !

    Improvement but...

    • Written by from North Chelmsford

    I do feel that Apple made a significant improvement compared to their other ear buds, however I do not like the feel of them in my ear. I like a more secure and snug fit on headphones and this design makes it impossible. When I was wearing them and bent down they fell right out. Still, the sounds is great, and the cable is strong and secure. I don't feel like they would break easily like other $30 ear buds would. Still searching for that perfect pair.

    Surely an upgrade

    Got these with my new ipod touch. It is a clear improvement over the classic we were used to since the first ipod. They are the most comfortable earbuds i have ever used. They just fit in the right spot into my ears. Sound is not bad. Could definately be a lot better. There is actually some base now unlike the previous model. I am sure though that the sound could be a lot better. I expected better from a model 3 years in the works. I would not recommend spending 30 bucks for it yet, as a free pair of earbuds with your new ipod, they are very pleasant and actually much better than any free pair of earphones i ever recieved before with a music device.
