Apple's white buds might not have the best reputation among audiophiles, but if you look around any train, bus or busy high street, you'll see a large number of people using them on a daily basis. With these Lightning connecter-toting EarPods, an update...

Weighty, solid sound, No hint of harshness, even at volume, Clear, direct midrange...

Bass is heavy handed and undefined, Dynamically lacking, Overly smooth sound that lacks real insight, Fit is still hit and miss...

It's safe to say that Apple's Lightning EarPods still won't appeal to audiophiles. They're overly smooth, lacking the detail, definition and dynamics to really do good quality recordings justice.Despite these grumbles, many will still find them fit for pu...

The EarPod is Apple's latest revision of its iconic (but leaky) earbuds. Finally, somebody has decided to get rid of the flat, circular design, which didn't always sit well in the ear. After analysing people's ears for three years, Apple feels that most p...

Midrange a little harsh, Could do with more precision and clarity...

Casual listeners are likely to be very happy with the ones that come bundled with the iPhone 5 and the latest iPod Touch . When it's time to upgrade, however, better sound can be had for a little more money. VIDEO: Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One vs Apple...

No one missed the launch of the iPhones, iPads, and iPods last year, but Apple also updated a small but very important part of their product line: their standard in-ear headphones. The standard earbuds that you receive with Apple's products have been ov...

While the review ended with a bit of criticism, the fact remains that the sound quality of the EarPods is definitely good enough for bundled headphones. For this price segment the quality is pretty unique actually. Only Sony includes superior quality ea...

The Apple EarPods certainly don't hang tough with the high-end of headphones that well, but they definitely punch out of their weight class when it comes to audio quality. Not only do the EarPods give their users a decent amount of bass, but they also hav...

Apple's original headphones were widely criticised (and rightly so), and they were long overdue an upgrade. So here's Apple's new contender, the EarPods. As far as we're concerned, the difference...

Remote with plenty of controls, More effective design than standard earbud headphones, Better than the old model...

Could be more comfortable, Sound output lacks neutrality, Only compatible with iOS...

The Apple EarPod headphones are much better than the headphones that used to ship with iOS products. That's certainly good news, but does that mean we'd buy them as a stand-alone product? We're not so sure...

Beyond their ubiquity and iconic status, though, Apple's earbuds have frequently been derided as offering sub-par sound. They've also occasionally been praised—despite their mediocre sound quality compared to higher-end headphones, it's amazing that they...

Apple Earphones have been ridiculed for years from all corners. They leak, they sound rubbish and they barely block out the noise of the outside world at all. Apple wants to remedy most of these problems with the EarPod headphones, which will be thrown i...

With the Apple EarPods, the iPad 3 creator has successfully one-upped its own Earphones, which have been doing the rounds in various forms for more than a decade. Sound quality is much improved. However, while the design is novel, they won't get us to tur...

It's become de rigueur to describe Apple's white earbuds as "ubiquitous" and "iconic"--and justifiably so. Not only are they almost inextricably linked to the company's iPods and iPhones, but Apple revealed at its recent press event that it had shipped...

Secure and comfortable fit, Solid bass, Improved overall sound...

Sound leakage, Fit still far from perfect...

If you don't have a set of EarPods, are they worth spending $35 for? In the world of headphones, $35 is fairly inexpensive, and if you're simply looking to upgrade from existing Apple earbuds, or to replace a lost or broken set, we can recommend the EarPo...

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 th...

After 11 long years, not counting a very minor mid-cycle update, Apple has finally completely redesigned its trademark white earphones that come bundled with every iPod and iPhone (save for the iPod Classic, which keeps the old earbuds). And the results...

Pleasantly improved sound, Some beef at the lowend, Comes with a small carrying case, Good price for what you’re getting...

Design still doesn't fit everyone, Some sound leakage still evident...

The EarPods aren't perfect – far from it – but in most cases, you're not paying for them since they come with iPods and iPhones. And many missteps can be forgiven with a £25 price tag. The sound is certainly improved on the old earbuds, particularly at...

To be fair, since Apple last revamped the design of its in-box earphones – back in 2012 – and introduced the EarPods, there has at least been a good reason for this. They work, they have a good quality in-line microphone and sound quality isn’t totally aw...
