    Wow

    Wow! This is a huge leap forward from the standard apple earbuds that came with the old iPods and iPhones. I have an iPod 4g and this works much better than expected. The fitment is much better than the old ones. On the old ones, if you shake your head a lot, they will come out. On the new ones, if you shake your head a lot, they will never come out. What I also like is there are no more rubber caps. The old rubber caps get ruined and they fall out leaving you with the scratchy white part out. My favorite thing I like about these is the travel case. No more broken earbuds and tangled earbuds. Apple said that it fits MOST EARS so don't rant if it doesn't fit please. Some people said that the old ones fit better. Go ahead, use the old ones if they fit better. 75% of the people that have the new ones got it to fit really good. Go ahead, use the new ones if they fit better. Hope you have good luck with these. Bye!

    Good sound -- but EarPods fall out when walking

    I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of the EarPods, which are a big improvement over earlier versions of Apple's earphones. Highs, mids and lows are clear, and offer a balanced listening experience. The mic and controls work well with my iPhone 4 and are easy to use.

    Unfortunately, good sound is only half of what I need in a pair of earphones. The other half is, of course, good fit -- and these absolutely don't for me. While I'm walking, the EarPods dislodge and simply fall out my ears. No matter how I try to angle them or position them deeper, they still work their way out fast, making these useless for me.

    Despite Apple's testing to try and make EarPods a universal fit for everyone, this is obviously impossible. Overall, a very disappointing purchase, which I'm going to return as soon as possible. Not recommended.

    The design of the product is truly "Ear Shaped". When you have them on you can barely tell they are there and all the sound is concentrated and released straight into the ear canal causing deeper lows, clearer highs and less bleeds making you feel like you are in a live concert. Big leap forward from apples' old headphones.

    I couldn't find my original iPhone headphones so I decided to try these. I should've known better. I have very small ears and these were big and painful and kept popping out. Maybe they work for you but not for me.

    the sound is very good for headphones that come with an iphone or ipod but the fit isnt very secure for me atleast. I wish apple would've made these real in ear headphones

    Good quality for the price. Fits perfectly in my ears and easy to take out if your are interrupted compared to in-ear headphone. Do not fall out while running and walking. You won't regret your buy.

    Great quality, but one problem

    I bought these headphones to replace some I had recently lost. They worked much better than I could have expected. The bud fits almost perfectly in my ear, and the sound quality is top notch. The bass was also very good, a nice bonus. The only small issue was the noise cancellation. It is amazing for such a product, but not as good as in ear headphones. Also, if you buy these, you should be careful not to jam them in your ear too hard. I made that mistake and it was not fun.

    Better than before

    I've used the previous earbuds for a long time and found their fit and sound quality to be average and did not really justify the 30$ tag. But after using the earpods, i have not had any fitting troubles. It sits in my ear very nicely and comfortably, movement is minimal if any. The sound quality has also improved in clarity quality. The bass is more pronounced now with the addition of the small air vents around the ear pod. I am also very pleased with the feel of the remote, it is much bigger and feels more durable. This can be said for the product overall. At this point, i can say it was a well spent 30$.

    I use these earpod when I'm at the gym running on the treadmill, and I can say that they fit horribly. I have to keep pushing them with my finger or else they fall after 1 minute.
    The sound and build quality is way better than the older version but I will continue using my Monter turbine copper pro.

    Sound Great/Won't stay in ears while exercising

    These headphones are awesome if you don't plan to move while listening to your iPhone/iPod. I highly recommend Gummies over these if you plan to use them while working out.

    The headphones sound better than most in ear headphones in this price range, but they constantly fall out or move out of position.

    Fantastic for $30...

    I've been looking for a good set of headphones for awhile. Specifically I was looking for an over-the-ear set, but just couldn't find a pair that I wanted to spend more than $150 on. So I heard about these... (okay, I got pulled in from the TV ad). Honestly, the bass is really good and these are much better than the old headphones. I'd say it's worth the money. They are only $30 and come in a case. Win. Win.

    Great sound, still falls out of my ear

    The sound is excellent. The earpods fall out of my ear just as often as the old headphones did. They are more comfortable when they're in your ear though. If they find a way to make them stay in your ear they get 5 stars!

    I appreciate things that are Bueno-Bonito-and Barato. I also like things that have integrity such as products by NAD, Paradigm, and Analysis Plus (Speaker Cables), all in the high end category. My point is that this headphones seemed to have been created with integrity and no lazyness as the latter version. The former ones are smooth, suave, cool, minimal, and amazing!!!
    I hope they fit your ear and enjoy!!!

    As a DJ, I appreciate quality sound. I had the Apple In-Ear Headphones, which were very nice because of the noise cancellation, but these little suckers are almost a third of the price for the same quality! Now I don't think Apple's major focus is on headphones, but after hearing these I have to re-think that statement! The bass is incredible for non in-ear, and they are not junky at all. They fit my ears perfectly, which I thought might have been a problem, and they blast music right into your ear canal so you can listen to them on a lower volume and have great bass. I used to use bass booster which I now turned off because without it they preform as if it were on. Voices are clear, basses are low and not distorted, just awesome! Another concern people had was with running if they would come out. I haven't tried this yet considering I got them about an hour ago, but they seem pretty snug once you get them in. Overall, great work, Apple!!

    Apple EarPods fit better REVERSED!

    • Written by from LOS ANGELES

    43 of 62 people found this useful

    Get this: No doubt these things sound better than the previous EarPods. But unlike the previous EarPods which fit my ears perfectly, these fall out no matter how hard I shove them into my ears. Horrible horrible fit.

    Weirder still, when I reverse them, left to right ear, right ear to left, they fit PERFECTLY! Snug, better sounding, comfortable fit.

    But my OCD can't allow me to fully enjoy the experience of listening to music 'backwards'.

    Has anybody had a similar experience?

    The most amazing earphones I've ever used.

    The new Apple EarPods are fantastic! They fit perfectly I can't believe it, the bass has tremendous sound and is great. They are really loud and super comfortable. If these were $80 I'd still buy them. You can't even tell they're in your ear. I love them so much!! I just hope they don't break fast. Great great job apple. Now I really believe you've scanned 100's of ears and taken 3 years to perfect them. Great job apple! The best company on this planet... Ever! <3
