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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

After test driving a few new cars at a local dealership, I decided to head to my nearest Apple Store to see if it had any of Apple's new EarPods in stock. It did, and I bought a pair.EarPods, in case you don't know, are Apple's new earbuds. The company is...

With Apple-made earbuds, it used to be that you'd only listen to them when you couldn't find your other headphones, or perhaps on the way home from the store from which you bought your new iDevice. Apple employees probably did the same thing, which is...

If you buy an or any current-model iPod, it will come with Apple's new EarPods, which were three years in the making and carry some major design improvements over existing Apple earbuds. And if you have an older Apple device, the $29 EarPods are a wo...

If you haven't yet upgraded to the iPhone 5 , can you get some of that iPhone 5 experience by upgrading to Apple's new EarPods earbuds? At $29 they're not as expensive as high-end earpieces, but they're not exactly cheap either. Compared to the original A...

Overall, I think many people will be happily surprised with the new EarPods from Apple. They sound better, they fit better, and they're easier to use.So what's the downside? The price tag. The EarPods are $29 and while that's nothing compared to ultra-hig...

When all is said and done, Apple's new EarPods are an improvement on the earbuds they replace, but only marginally so. It's hard to imagine anyone would compare the two and express a preference for the older model. With that said, we had hoped for a lit...

Apple's Earbuds were introduced with the original iPod in 2001. After 11 years, Apple has replaced the iconic white earpieces with the EarPods (US$29). I bought a pair right away, as they're only a few dollars more than the throw-away headphones I usually...

Should you use them? For most people, the answer will be yes. They ship with your iPhone 5 and iPod and might even fit in your ears for a change. The sound isn't something to write home about but it's a big improvement from where it used to be and, lik...

Pretty soon millions—tens of millions!—of suckers will own a pair of Apple EarPods. If you hated the old Apple buds because they sound terrible and don't fit, good news is that these are better. And they still come free with a device. The bad news is that...

To be fair, this is a freebie accessory. Other device makers dont bother to bundle products with quality accessories. so why should we expect Apple to? If you buy an iPhone 5 or iPod, you wont have a choice. You will involuntarily own them. Thats fine—...
