Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

I wanted to be happy, I wanted to finally have an apple provided headphone work but the same old issue remains.

Although apple made some overall improvements to the sound quality, the one major issue remains that these earpods/ in-ear headphones just do not stay in your ears.
Try wearing these and walking for more than a few steps and you have to constantly adjust due to the cheap plastic that these are made of.

I'm pretty glad that these came with my new iPhone, because before making the decision to buy that I was mulling over the idea of dropping $30 on these after experiencing discomfort with my rubber-tipped earbuds. On my very first time out with EarPods I noticed that they felt remarkably loose. Granted, they were not as loose as Apple's previous earbuds, but still enough that after five minutes of walking to my car, these were ready to fall out.

These earphones do not fit very well. Maybe my ears are too small or the earphone tiny handle is too long. They basically keep falling out when walking. I'm returning mine asap. The old earphones at least had a rubber cap to keep them from falling out of the ear. Great sound....Poor design.

I love the sound quality of the new EarPods but they do not stay in my ear for more than a few seconds before I have to adjust them. I have all but given up on them at this point.

When will Apple get the point that slippery smooth plastic earbuds will slide out of the ear just like that original. You need some rubber backing to help stay in place. I returned mine after one hour of trying these...Very disappointed in them.

I dont know why these are getting such good reviews. They came with my iPhone 5. I couldn't find my Sony's one day so i figured i would give them a shot. I didn't know Apple had managed to make plain plastic earbuds MORE uncomfortable. They have zero weight so they don't hang properly in your ear and the sound is thin and hollow. These have zero redeeming value, not even as a backup pair. I would give 0 stars but that isn't an option.

The ear buds are just too large, and the hard plastic is not fun. If I want to use them I have to force them into my ears, and naturally they hurt my ears after awhile. The hard plastic is brutal, and of course, has no give. Apple needs to make these in a smaller size or make them more moldable/softer.

I dont know if I'm the only person on earth that has small ears but, these things hurt! I never used the original iphone/ipod headphones because they are just too big for my ears. I was excited when I heard that the earpods featured a new disign to better fit in the ear. But, they might actually be worse. Unfortunately, these will most likely be going in a drawer with the rest if the earbuds that have come with all of my previous apple products. I'm pretty dissappointed that Ill have to go back to using the in ear Sony headphones I bought when I got my iphone 4...

Maybe my ears are not standard but the darn things just will not stay in!

For those who have a really hard time getting the old iPod headphones to stay in their ears, don't expect the new design of these to be any different. While they look like they have a better fit, these fell out right away when I wasn't even walking. Maybe if they weren't made entirely out of hard plastic, they wouldn't slip so easily.
