Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

These headphones are absolutely terrific! Many people have complained that they fall out, but I have no problem with them. They stay in snugly for me. They do not "noise block" like headphones that have the rubber around the part that goes into the ear, but I like this better. Sound quality and bass is amazing!!

It's about time Apple updated these, and I certainly am glad they did.

If you are stilling living with the old headphones, throw them out and buy these. They sound fantastic; despite their odd shape, are astonishingly comfortable, and for $35, you will never find headphones like these at a better value. SO worth the purchase.

Got my Iphone5 a few weeks back. Set these new earpods aside, kinda forgot about them.
Thought about them last night, figured I'd see how they sound. Wow, these things blew me away. They sound great and are very comfortable.

I plugged them up plugged them in and I was astounded by the sound. It was really clear and it delivered a great bass. Then I got an itch to try something new so I went out and brought a couple of different earbuds to see the differences. The earpods from Apple were better than or on par with earbuds that cost way more. Needless to say I returned them and I'm back with my earpods.

After a song or two, these will HURT YOUR EARS! Great sound but horrible design/material.

Since they don't fit my ear, unlike the older soft ones which I lost, they are a waste of money. Might as well use the ones which came with the iphone, since those also don't fit.
A big step back for Apple.

They’re sleek and light, with a curvy, teardrop shape that makes much more ergonomic sense. They’re not as snug as rivals with ear tips that burrow into the ear canal, but I do not find them that comfortable.

The sound is spacious, the detail is good and there’s a solid grip of rhythm and dynamics. Compared to the closest rivals, however, they’re a little harsh in the midrange, and could do with more clarity and precision.

I bought iPhone5 in September 2012. Up to now, everything is ok but my earphone went wrong when i went for running yesterday. I put it in and run, after about 3hrs the volume button went wrong. It automatically turned the volume down although i did nothing with the button. So terrible! Coz when i answer the coming call, it turns the volume down so that i cannot hear anything. I push the "+" button on the phone, then it automatically turns down again and again. Cannot do anything >_<

Apple must have taken average ears to design these ear pods! That is why they fit most people according to the reviews I read. I am grateful that I am in that group as I am really happy to say that they fit my ears perfectly! Interestingly they fit my ears but not my husbands! I guess he is in the other group who complain that they fall off! sorry folks! I like them better than the previous ones. The sound is so clear and amazing! Apple, in my books your still number one!

The sound is much better than the standard (older) headphones, but I have major problem with the headphones staying in my ear while walking. I noticed these headphones do not have a small "rubbery" band that the older versions have. This "band" provide some resistance to movement. This is only flaw I have with the headphones, but until it is fixed, I will have to use another brand.
