  • Overview

    Unlike traditional, circular earbuds, the design of the EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones.

    The speakers inside the EarPods have been engineered to maximise sound output and minimise sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.

    The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.

      THESE BAD BOYS

Needless to say I had to do three loads of washing one after the other as I had gotten tired of wearing a towel around the flat. Bet you know where this is going, huh? Chucked my jeans in at the last minute because I couldn't for the life of me remember when I'd washed them last and putting them in the freezer no longer helped. Well yeah just so turns out my earphones were in the pocket of said jeans. I opened the washer door and they flopped out limp and lifeless - but very clean I have to admit (kudos to washing machine) Anyway I put them on the radiator with no hope they were salvable but I wanted to make an effort you know? They've served me well. Well put them in my iPhone 6 this morning out of curiosity- half expecting the electric shock of my life - and guess what, WORKED PERFECTLY. CLEAN AS A WHISTLE AND WORKS LIKE A CHARM. Although I don't advise this way of cleaning your earphones it's nice to know Apple don't skimp on the quality.

      lasts long(ish) for low-midrange earphones

      I don't know why, but I have the worst luck with earphones. I've spent $10 - $200 on a variety of earphone brands and types, and they never last more than 4 mon I don't know why, but I have the worst luck with earphones. I've spent $10 - $200 on a variety of earphone brands and types, and they never last more than 4 months. I don't abuse them, and I try my best to treat them kindly but no matter what I do, they end up beyond repair by their 4th month. These earpods made it to the 6th month mark before they died. 6 months is better than 4 months for me, so I'm rating them as above average.

      Don’t buy unless you want to spend lots of money

      I can’t believe how these are considering it is an apple product. I got these for 30 dollars and they only last about 6 months. I’ve have at least 4 EarPods th I can’t believe how these are considering it is an apple product. I got these for 30 dollars and they only last about 6 months. I’ve have at least 4 EarPods that have broken or stop working in a small amount of time.And I’m sure it’s not me that breaks them I take good care of them I don’t really tangle them or do anything that would cause them to stop working. The ones I’m currently using the box on the right earbud were you could pause, turn up and down volume has stopped working and I only bought them in March also I’m starting to hear bits of static and Siri starts turning on and my music keeps pausing. I remember once buying cheap $5 earbuds and they lasted long and good(my mom vacuumed them by accident )and they were much better. I do not recommend these unless you want to constantly buy them. I wish I could get refunds. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND .
