the apple headphones are f**king amazing!

[via]

ok i take back some of the apple hating i didin an earlier post. i was done gaming so i took off my $80 Linx Audio headphones and sat in bed and wanted to listen to some music so i pulled those "apple ear pods" out of a drawer. i am.. shocked.. they are amazing. how on earth do they have such a good sound out of $15 earbuds?? the bass is great too! not to mention they are super light weight and comfy. they give them away with all their products which take some of the edge off the fact that they sell garbage. i am never going back to those other headphones. 

 

 

* note - i am talking about the latest version that ships with the iphone 6 or similar, the older ones are shit so ive heard.

And they kick the shit out of my Logitech G230 headset-which is substantially more expensive (I got the earpods with my iPod Nano 7th gen-which replaced a semi dead 4th gen with its shitty buds)

Dude Ive been using mine for 2 years and I keep saying theyre awesome and people come at me and say "you prick you obviously havent heard real sound and youve clearly never used real headphones"

 

Like ffs hop off theyre good.

No need to censor

Well that's why they cost 30$+

I love mine

They've updated them since the 5s? The ones that came with it were pretty bad honestly. Felt uncomfortable and fell out of my ears. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

Honestly they sound godly, but dont fit my ears right and wont stay in. I always told people if they fit right go with them, as they are the best sounding headphones for the money I have tried.

I dont remember seeing the side port on the older "new" style of apple earbuds. like my biggest gripe, the size and such of them, but the sound quality is amazing. 

[Zayzo]

I prefer the samsung ones. I have the iphone 6 and the samsung gS6.

They cost more than 15$ on theior won, but I do love mine. Not the greatest headphones, but they certainly don't sound bad like some cheap ones, in the way that makes them headache inducing. 

The shape is just great for me though. I can't really get anything to stay in my ear, regardless of cup size unless they are your traditional round earbuds, so that elimitaes pretty much most high end earbud options for me. 

The shape on these cheap apple ones though, just....perfect. Wearing them right now on my phone actually.

Yeah, I know tons of people who use them, they stay in the ears, great for biking, and working out, but don't have the annoying silicone/plastic bands around them like tons of sport earbuds do.

[Exploded117]

I do admit, they are one of the best ear(pods?) you can get for that price.

 

I still much prefer my earbuds with memory foam tips. errmagrrd amazing.

[Aniallation]

I agree. They're the best open earbuds (without the soft pad thingies) that I've ever used. When I first tried them I thought they were going to sound like the old Apple earbuds but I was more then surprised at how big of an improvement they are.

I've used the Apple earbuds and compared to my AKG K553 Pro, they sound terrible - but I gotta admit - those earbuds sound amazing for their price. I also find them extremely comfortable for some odd reason. Obviously a pair of headphones that's more than $100 USD is going to sound better than those things, but I'm not comparing them head-on. Definitely agree with OP that they sound pretty good.

 

(just as a personal side note though: I find that the bass on those earbuds is way too overpowered and I can barely hear any of the mids)

I have been parading these earphones for a while...

Good sound quality, great in-line mic and sound controls, and they are pretty durable.

[SSL]

They're definitely good for what they are. Hardly amazing, though. I prefer my bass without 10% harmonic distortion.

[TroubleKlef]

They certainly aren't bad especially for being included headphones. The sound isolation for me is too poor and I can't get a good enough seal to attain the lower end. Personally, I prefer IEMs even the cheap ones when I'm lifting and I have a pair of over ears for any listening that I do at home.

[Kirya]

is it those ones ? http://www.apple.com/fr/shop/product/MD827/%C3%A9couteurs-apple-earpods-avec-t%C3%A9l%C3%A9commande-et-micro?fnode=79

 

It's funny because in the description, in "Strenghts", they listed "Made by apple" haha ! 

 

i already used them once and i have good memories, i'm thinking about buying some to use with my computer / next android phone, because i can right ?

The Apple Earpods have a really small soundstage, will persistently fall out of your ears and are way too quiet. No, they are not fucking amazing.

Small soundstage: so does every other in ear for $30, and I would wager that they have a larger sound stage than most (since, you know, they are actually sort of open backed...) 

Fall out of your ears, maybe, not most peoples. That's a very personal complaint, and there is no getting around the fact that they fit far better than the old ones. 

Too quiet: I don't believe you, unless they are defective, you have poor hearing, or you love super loud music. For any of those, other than defective (in which case, just get them replaced) get an amp. Then they certainly will not be too quiet. 

 

Edit: They have a sensitivity of 109DB/(?) which should be more than enough for any normal person on just about any device.

You don't have the earpods in far enough.
