If there has been one certainty when it comes to Apple products since the launch of the original iPod, it was that the headphones in the box were rubbish. Not any more, we're happy to report. Apple has "re-invented" the in-the-box earphones, giving them a funky name at the same time: EarPods.

Comfortable; volume control on cable; sound good; cheap

Easily fall out; no real depth to the bass

Officially announced in September 2012, Apple's Lightning connector is the smaller replacement for the 30-Pin Dock Connector introduced in 2003 -- a reliable plug that has been used in thousands of Apple-specific accessories, including everything from chargers to speakers, video projectors, and...

I always used it. When I bought it , it was available for immediate use, no need to charge it.

I had read some reviews indicating these may not be genuine Apple EarPods, so I was a bit hesitant at first. But based on the quality, these appear to be genuine. Sound is good as expected, and I was able to purchase using accumulated reward dollars, so it was a good value.

I bought these which are the exact same as apple earphones and 100% genuine. Sound quality is great as always and I don't use any other earphones. Thought I may as well make a saving off of other prices. Will be buying again when I need more

Best earbuds for the money and arrived within a couple of days after ordering.

These earphones really are amazing. The worst thing about most generic earphones is that they fall out of your ears most of the time. These are great because they provide brilliant sound but also seem to stay in your ear no matter how you move about. I love it.

Apple has changed its iconic white earbuds quite a few times since their inception with the first ever iPod. Improving them little by little. This time Apple drastically improved and redesigned one of the most discerned headphones ever created.

Far better than the previous apple headset. Bass is very good and sound quality is par with big headphones. Since, I don't know whether this headset is compatible with other phones/music player (non apple product), so i don't want to recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised. They had much better sound quality than I had expected. I was struggling with whether I should buy high end earphone. In the end, I didn't feel that I would use them that much. I'm glad I bought these.
