Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

I really wanted these earpods to be the perfect set of in-ear headphones but I'm the .00001% that these were not designed for. They still become dislodged by me simply tilting my head up and down. Walking my dogs, i find myself constantly resetting them so they don't fall out. So anything more than walking is completely out. It'll be winter again soon so I can at least keep them in place with a knit hat.
All that being said they really do sound much better than the first iterations. They are also much more comfortable to wear. But fallings out as easy as they do is a huge problem for me. I'll have to fork out the big bucks and get some Shure or Sennheiser buds to make sure they stay put.

Good but not great like apple products should be.

The sound is amazing, however they are a little large for my ears so they don't sit well. If there is the slightest tug on the cord they go flying out. I wish they made ones with rubber on them so they stayed better.

I don't get how this can be... I feel like my ears are a pretty normal shape, but I can't walk 10 feet without one or both falling out. My best guess is that they're too light?

I had to give these 3 stars, because the sound is phenomenal, but they're incredibly painful to wear. I much prefer the fit of the more expensive, but infinitely more adjustable earbuds that Apple also sells in their line. My hope is that the designers incorporate some of the best elements of the EarPods into the next generation of earbuds. I guess I have tiny ears, because when I wear these for more than a few minutes I get a shooting pain in the area just above where the EarPods sit in each ear. I had the same problem with the previous generation. Still, the sound is superior to most earbuds I've tried and I've tried several different brands in the past few years. I just wish they were made of a little more pliable material.

I got these with my iPhone 5 and just had to try them out. To my surprise, they sounded amazing. The only problem is that they are just too big for my ears. I understand apple designed them to fit the general population but if they would just make a pair a little smaller for my ears, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

The sound quality of the earpods is greatly improved over the old Apple earbuds, but make sure you try them in your ear first, because if you have ears like mine, they might seriously hurt to wear for anything over a minute. I can usually find a somewhat comfortable position for them , but then any slight movement in the earpod at all causes pain in my ear. I am one of the few people for whom the old apple earbud shape was very comfortable, so as much as I love the improved audio quality in these earpods, I am forced to go back to the old. If you have ears that perfectly fit the old earbuds, make sure you try out the earpods first before buying because they might be very uncomfortable for you.

Great sound, check.
Comfortable, check.
Good for running and working out, check.
Incompatible with 3rd gen shuffle, check.
Forget something?

I haven't used earphones for a while since owning beats, souls, and vmoda's headphones.

First impression...Sound is right up there with my ludacris souls sl150 (best of the bunch). Bass was present which i didn't expect much of it from these tiny earphones. Crystal clear highs w/ no distortion and well balanced with the mids. Apple got it right with the sound. I'm truly impressed.

Fitment... Now here is where it gets tricky. i had to play with the left/right just to get it to fit properly without falling off and getting the right amount of sound in my ear. sometimes one side is louder than the other side...thats because of positioning.

I wouldn't recommend it for doing any sort of strenuous activities as they tend to fall off easily. Brisk walks to the park, sitting at home, or just listening to music at work will be ok. But if you plan to use these for any sort of workouts...Forget about it. I'm not sure if they are sweatproof too.

I only gave it 3 stars because the sound is amazing, but these new pods do not stay in my ears and I've only wore them sitting down. I can't even imagine trying to walk around much less run with them. I agree with some other reviews. If there was some type of silicone to keep the sleek plastic from sliding out of my ear, these new pods would be 5 star worthy...
