    Seriously Amazing!

    I have had the old earbuds for some time now, and I recently lost them. So, long story short, after fruitlessly searching for them, and only finding cheap replacements, I finally gave in and bought the new ones. I had resisted for so long due to the weird shape and complaints about not fitting in all ear types. HOWEVER, I just got them,, and they are incredibly amazing. The sound quality is unmatched, and the bass is amazing and does not overpower the listener at all. The earpods fit into my ears perfectly and I'm actually about to order a backup pair because I love them so much.

    I used these new headphones for the first time since I got my iPhone 5. The sound quality is amazing and they are much more comfortable than the previous model. Love them.

    Apple EarPods

    The new Apple EarPods are great headphones. I love them. There is only one problem. The 2 places where there is wire mesh allows wax to buildup. The mesh should be level with the surface of the EarPod. Similar to the old Apple earphones. This would keep wax out.

    Arggh!!! this is not for everyone's ears

    I really like the sound that comes from these ear pods. My biggest complaint here is that it does not fit into my ears at all. They keep falling out when I'm not even moving, so this is completely useless to me. If I try to push it into my ears then it freakin hurts.
    It was such a bonus that it came with the phone but what good is it when you can't even use it.
    Apple!!! You need to redesign these earpods. Maybe you needed to test it on more than 600 people.

    Earpods are great

    These earphones are amazing. I have beats and i didnt think it would be necessary to keep the earpods, but when i listened to them for the first time, i was mind blowned. I use my earpods more than my beats because the sound quality is just as good, but the earpods are much more comfortable.

    AMAZING

    Got these with my phone and they're incredible for $30. They sound more crisp than my mdr xb700s, although the 700s have more of a punch and they also sound more crisp than my beats pro (these are examinations without changing the eq) in other words the earbuds have very balanced sound for the price and i suggest getting them, they fall out easily though and barely block noise

    not for all ears..

    A huge improvement from the original earbuds! However, I guess I have 2 different shaped ears because with all earbuds of any kind, one fits perfectly in my left ear and one always falls out in my right. If you are considering actually buying these separately, try to find a friend that has them so you can try them out and see if they fit in your ears.

    People say they're uncomfortable after a few minutes, but I haven't had that problem. They fit fine in my ear, and are nice and loud, enough said.

    Much improved from the previous model

    Overall these headphones provide a very clear and crisp sound with bass that's clean and not overpowering. Comparing these to the previous model would be like apples and oranges as its in a higher class.. I rate it 4/5 due to the fitment being one size fits all but is assumed that the design has to do with it. The inline controls are its short comings as it has you to do a series of multi taps and/or holds to exicute a function. Just one more thing to try to remember and fumble around with. All in all if you like clear, precise sound, these are for you. I would compare the earpods to higher dollar headphones due to the sound quality.

    Price 5/5
    Fitment 3/5
    Sound Quality 5/5
    Controls 2/5
    Design 3/5

    VERY cheap build quality

    • Written by from Bellevue

    I've owned now 2 of these since november and in the course of 3 months they've both broken in the exact same way, the metal connector that plugs into your device is EXTREMELY WEAK and broke in half when the cable got tugged. Obviously I've seen headphone wires fray and plastic parts get bent/cent, but never the metal connector breaking in halve! TWICE!!!!!!

    And the second time the connector got stuck inside my macbooks headphone port so now I can't use any audio whatsoever. Hopefully the "geniuses" will be able to fix it. But I'm not happy at all. Apple's quality is plummeting like it's stock prices

    The best $29.99 I've ever spent. A dramatic improvement over the old earbuds. Not only in sound but also with the mic/volume buttons: they're slightly larger and have more positive tactile feeling. The sound is... inspiring, chills down the spine good. I did find they slipped out of my ears - actually only my right ear, so I put some Belkin foam covers on them. Now they are simply dreamy, I couldn't be happier.

    Great, but not perfected yet!

    I love this product. I had gotten the Itouch 5 gen and it had came with the cheap version of these earpods which had no mic or remote. So at a price as low as this I said why not. I saw that it had gotten good reveiws and wanted to try it out myself. I really love how the bass is better, and the sound is louder then the apple ear buds.
    It fits perfectly into my ear and keeps most of the background noise out. I love havingthe remote so I can change songs without having to open my itouch, and I cant even see the mic but I know its there cause siri hears me.
    (now for the cons) There really isn't a huge con with the ear pods but there are somethings that could be changed about them. After 2 hours of listening to music my ears start to hurt that just might be a friendly reminder to do something else). The one thing I hate about it the most is that it collects ear wax. since the place where it shoots the music into your ear has a hole it will go inside it making it really hard to clean out. Usally I get it out with a cotten swab but since it dose this I don't like letting other people use my own earpods.
    So overall they are great to use but not perfect. Definently worth for $30. :)

    Great sound if they fit your ears

    These earphones have a quirky design. I typically use bud style earphones and they fit me the best. But if I wear the left earpod into the right ear and right into the left ear, they fit me quite well (not for hours use, as they start hurting a little). The previous Apple earphones were a disgrace to sound but they felt more comfortable. Not sure why they didn't keep the rubberized edges on the earpods. Alright, enough about the fit. If they fit you, then read ahead...

    The sound is phenomenal. And by phenomenal, I mean faithful and crisp. The bass isn't overpowering but punchy, mids are present and the highs are not shrieking in your ears. For someone looking for a great earphones pair (non bud style), Apple earpods should be tried!

    Dont expect much from this earpods, its just ok..
    Highly Disappointed........
    Apple's Itunes sound quality sucks(never liked it, no bass jut loud sound) so dont use this earpods with any of the apple device.
    I played it on my PC with windows media player, it sounds ok for 29 $ ear phone.
    My suggestion if u have options then dont buy it go for others.

    works for me

    • Written by from Temecula

    The work great for me! Super good quality and i can barely feel them in my ear! They dont keep the sound plugged that well though, so if ur sitting next to some with the volume up they will hear what your listening to.

    These headphones are much better than the old headphones. There is bass with a great sound quality. I use these more than my skullcadys. (witch by the way are not all that good.)
