Reviews for Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic

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.

They def sound better, however they constantly fall out of my ears. I recommend trying them first because its a waste if you can't even use them. Can't even use headphones after spending 300 bucks on a new iphone..... fail

....but mine must be weirder than most! These are way too big for my ears and they hurt when you try to shove them in. I'm sure it is next to impossible to fit every size ear....nice try though!! I 'll stick to my old ones!

Purchased these having read all the great reviews, and what a mistake.
Won't stay in the ear if you're moving at all. If you really twist them hard into your ear, they'll stay put, but then they're extremely uncomfortable, and cause actual pain.
Very disappointed, especially after all the glowing reviews.

These fit great in my ears and I think they would actually stay in my ears but cannot use them because unless I hold the jack tightly in to make the connection they don't work...the sound still comes from the speakers unless I am pushing in on the jack...this is a problem... I will try a new pair...returning these to Apple Store and will review again. Disappointed.

I have no clue how these headphones got such high ratings.. And I am went to purchase them based on the overall rating, which were high!! BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!! I purchased $20 dollars headphones and they are much better!!! The APPLE EARPODS have one thing going for them- their name!!! But I am absolutely flabbergasted in how people think these EARPODS are great?? I have to assume they have never purchased great earbuds.. I have tried over 5 different brands and have spent over 150 dollars for earbuds and these 30 dollars are not worth 5 dollars to me because they do NOT FIT IN MY EAR. They DO NOT provide Noise Cancellation. Who ever engineered these should go back to the drawing board and figure out a way to provide a more UNIVERSAL fitting earpods!!! And to provide noise CANCELLATION!! Sound quality is good but not awesome! But for $30 dollars sound quality is good!

These things still don't fit right (for me, at least). They just float around in my ear hole. Because of this, the sound is still tinny and boring.

I've now noticed the inline remote works with my MacBook Pro, but that's about it. Just as weak as its predecessor. Save your money for something better...

I bought these to replace the original ones that came with my 4S after loosing them. This was all they had at the Apple store. The description states that they rest comfortably inside and stay inside a variety of ear types. They do not rest comfortably or stay inside my ear. They did not stay in my ear at all. I tried moving them around hoping that would make them stay in and found they pinch the inside of my ear and cause pain.

The headphones still don't stay in your ear, even after the new design they still slip out when walking or moving your head. I would never recommend anybody buy these.

I HAVE HAD TWO SETS AND BOTH WERE SNAGGED AND STOPPED WORKING. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS JUST IN POCKET WITH THE KEYS. THE CORD DEFINATELY NEEDS TO BE MADE TOUGHER...
