Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

I just got these today and they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever used.
Having had high end headphones for many years I can say that Apple has outdone themselves in every aspect of these Earpods.
As far as the old headphones that came with my iPhone one of the annoying parts were over time the rubber washer around the earpiece would fade away leaving the rough inner part exposed. This one is smooth and sleek. It fits perfectly in your ear with no compromise.

The first time I put these on I could not believe the sound difference.
There is a presence there that was not on the older iPod headphones.
The bass is rich but not too overbearing. The highs are clear and the mids are there to balance things out. I've tested these out thoroughly and I have to say at $30 its a no brainer.

When I saw these headphones I knew there must have been something magical about them. Apple doesn't just change their headphones without a good reason.
I've been listening to random music. One track in particular sounded just incredible on these Earpods it was Phaeleh Afterglow. I'm not sure if its on iTunes but the lows are jaw dropping.
Along with all of the Tool songs and A perfect circle. I test these with Classical works from Vivaldi, Mozart, and Bach.

Simply incredible...

This was one of the many gifts that Steve Jobs left us before he passed.
I tip my virtual hat to you Apple.

I just had a $70 pair of noise canceling ear buds that broke after a month. Now I'm thrilled they broke because otherwise I would not have needed to buy new ear buds. These things blow away that $70 pair! The fit is extremely comfortable, and the bass is amazing! Great Job!

BY FAR THE BEST YEAR PODS I EVER HAD AT MORE THEN A-CONVENIENT AND AFFORDABLE PRICE.
AMAZING DESIGN AND UNBELIEVABLE GRATE SOUND!!

TRY IT OUT AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!

I am disappointed that they do not work with my Shuffle 3G

DO NOT buy the earpods if you want to use it with your Shuffle 3G and expect the remote to work

However, the audio quality is great and no other $30 earbuds can beat it.

Apple if you add Shuffle 3G support I would give a 5 star rating

I'm one of the "normal" ear people that these headphones fit.

I've owned several types prices and models and these actually surpassed my top pick by far. They fit and work great. I'm a runner and they stay put for me.

The sound quality is on par with 300$ sets I've tried before. In a word unbelievable.

Great job apple!

WOW -- as lame as the previous standard issue Apple headphones were the new Earpods are polar opposite. They fixed everything I found annoying about their predecessors:

- excellent bass (for a pod-style headphone -- if you want real bass response you still need over-ears)
- no more extra-tangly cord -- this one feels slippery and untangles easily
- great tactile feedback on the mike buttons -- they increased the size a little to achieve this
- no more silicone parts on the actual ear bud (you know that peels off after about a year of use on the previous ones)

Well done Apple! For $29 bucks these are a steal. One note -- they are hard plastic not rubbery, as I assumed from the shape, so they do not block out noise.

Sound is great and you don't even notice they're in your ears. They're light and stay in your ears great!!! Best headphones ever by apple and maybe period!!!Go spend lots of money on other ear phones and they'll break. Love these!!I'll wear them everyday to the gym.

Hi,

I have been a customer for a while and was unable to fit the old model in my ears. They were very uncomfortable. I was using soft buds from Sony and other in the high end range 70$ and up...

I am very happy with these. Sound quality is great but the best improvement is that it fits in my ears without discomfort at all. I can run, play sleep with them and at 35$ I am not affraid of breaking them.

Great stuff,

Thank you.

These buds have a lot more bass, and overall a much richer/warm sound to them than any of the previous Apple iPhone headphones (at the $29 price point, I've never used the Apple in-ear headphones so I can't compare) -- It's nice to see Apple has UP'd the ante, so to speak, with regards to "included" heaphones; for the first time I'd say the "included iPhone headphones" match the quality of an iPhone, and don't seem like a pair of cheap headphones that have a short life-span.

But we'll see how long these headphones last me without going kaput, I'm not a fan of the headphone plug standing up, I find this usually wears out first/the most.

These are the best $30 ear buds I've ever owned. In fact, I have a pair of $100 JayBirds and the audio quality on the EarPods is definitely, absolutely better. Apple designed some great headphones here.

I wish I could get the exact same thing with bluetooth. The cord can get in the way... but that's what you get for $30. I'll sacrifice convenience for sound quality. Absolutely amazing.
