I'm a 50+ year old gal who still loves hard rock music(AIC). These earpods ROCK! When they say they rival high end headphones, they mean it. I heard sounds in my music I didn't hear w/oth equip. You can head bang, dance, and lay down w/them in, etc. The earpods stay in your ears.

exceptional sound quality ; easily stay in your ears ; compact carrying case ; they "rock!

nothing at all

I bough 3 earphones which lasted less than one week. One started to fall apart, the other one raised the volume of the cell phone while listening to music all by itself, and the third one stopped working all together.

This is my first review here on the site. so im no professional. will try my best In 2012 Apple released Earpods to replace the old Earbuds. they had great design, but didtn sound great. took around 5 years for apple developing the new Earpods. was the waiting worth Yes.

- Great Treble detail and Clarity with a hint of softness; ok midrange; Dry, punchy and detailed bass

- Midrange a little thin and harsh ; build could be better

These are replacement headphones. Seems like every 6-8 months you need to replace them.

Good clarity; Much improved bass response; Good remote

Weak mid-range; Quickly work their way out of optimum position

After years of inflicting the horror of its white, bundled earbuds on its customers – and their blameless fellow commuters – Apple announced it was finally retiring them, replacing them with a...

Introduction When Apple first announced these headphones (Earpods) they marketed them as they market all their products, ground breaking and in this case years in development, I am happy to say that once in a while they do hold this claim true.

Comfortable when worn for a long period of time; good quality for the discounted price/s

Not ideal for quiet environments; full price is a bit steep

highly quality earphones as expected from apple, doesn't hurt my ears at all when used in long period of time, very comfortable in my ears, great bass and sound is very clear

new great sound comfortable in ears

I don't know why I didn't expect much from these, they're flawless. The sound quality is so crisp and clear, and I haven't had any problems I've read from other user's with people around me being able to hear what I'm listening to.

If you by from Clever Boxes instead of Laptop Outlet, they're genuine apple ear pods or at least good enough to not tell the difference. I bought a set from Laptop Outlet and they were definitely fake, pathetic sound quality and you can tell from the thickness of the cable: the fake ones are thinner...
