About this item

SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with 3.5mm Headphone Plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

If you are too lazy to read my essay then I will give a quick rundown:

REAL Product - They are real apple earbuds, durable and people are lying
Fit / Comfort - They will fit small ears amazingly and feel like nothing is there, big ears not so much
Sound - Low end and mid is great. Nothing special, high end slightly lacking but its barely noticable
Durability - Lasted me for 1.5 years so far, tough and will survive water (swimming, washing machine)
Damage - None. They were perfect and still are right out the box
Mic - Dont get for a mic. Its in the speakers themselves and are too quiet, but they are in 2 channels ig
Tangling - They do get tangled but they are easy to untangle
Overall - 9.5/10, get if you have small or average ears, they feel like nothing is in your ear

FULL DETAILED REVIEW:
Im writing this to discourage the negative reviews that I see way too much about these things. They are REAL apple made products. They did not come used, broken, or anything. I bought these as I wanted some actual good earbuds that would last. I have used the samsung ones for about 2 years when I broke them, so I tried apple. I found some laying around in school (ik its gross) washed em, and they worked great. Sound quality is actually very good for earbuds, however I havent used any super expensive headphones that would blow me away and make these sound terrible in comparison. The low end or "bass" is very important to me and thankfully it is pretty loud, nothing outstanding or anything though. The High end is kindof lacking but not much, still sounds great. Mid sound is loudest, not overwhelming though, pretty good. Anyway, I lost those, so I ordered them, on Amazon. They came early, unused, undamaged, and they sound great. No complaints and they have lasted me for nearly a year. Now an issue you might have with these buds if at all are 2 things: Fit and Comfort. These will not fit everybody's ears, escpecially big ones. However, they fit in mine perfectly and within a minute I forget I even have anything in my ear, but thats just me. 2 is comfort, which some people have issues with. I think these are incredibly comfortable with the non-silicon tips. They dont hurt, but maybe thats just me. I hate the silicon tips, but some people dont. Either way, you can get used to them. Other things to mention; you can drown these in water or leave them in the wash accidentally and they will work fine. As long as their not in deep water for like over an hour, they should still work. also, Tangling is not a big problem with these. They definetly do get tangled, but they are very easy to ungtangle unlike other buds. Lastly, Microphone. I would not recomment these if you need them to have a good mic. I was surprised to test these and find out the Volume controller that has a mic label on it isnt actually a mic, the phones themselves are. And they are weird. They are wayyyyy too quiet and each but has its own channel, so you can talk into say the left bud and whoever is recieving your mic signal will hear only out the left headphone. You also have to have it so close to your mouth that you are pretty much making out with it. Besides that, they are amazing. Some people with love them, others will hate. If you have small ears, I recomment these. They come in a nice little box too. They will feel like nothing is there. 9.5/10 earbuds in my opinion. Best earbuds I have ever used. GET THEM

These headphones are great quality. I use them for my virtual meetings at work. The sound quality is very good and the built in speakers work well. There are no scratching noises from the wires. The earbuds fit well, I can keep them in my ear for a couple hours and forget they are there (after a couple hours they can start to get uncomfortable).

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive low-end headphones that punch WAY above their weight.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023
As a lifelong Windows/Android guy, the Apple Earpods are my all-time favorite earbud. They sound fantastic when compared against other options at their price bracket. I find them quite comfortable, and their design results in pretty cromulent bass for their size.

The packaging for these has been changed since their original release over a decade ago. The first versions of these came in a plastic case, which was great for portability as it gave you a safe way to keep them in your pocket while minimizing the risk of damage. These are now packaged in a paperboard box that is clearly meant to be thrown away once you remove the earbuds. While this move makes sense from a sustainability and production cost standpoint, it's an unfortunate one for the user. The old packaging being able to double as a case was a fantastic value add.

The wires are a bit thin, but they seem to hold up well to abuse. I have a bad habit of playing with the wire while I listen to music and so far I have not managed to kill these after a couple years of this habit. The thinness makes them easy to fit into a pocket and they have held up well, so perhaps the thinness isn't a big deal from a durability standpoint.

These are acoustically quite similar to the original model of Airpods. Due to their ability to play lossless audio, these *technically* are capable of slightly higher sound quality than Airpods, but a casual listener in a noisy environment likely won't know the difference - if you have used Airpods and like them, these are basically the same except with no dependence on bluetooth or a battery and, in my opinion, slightly more comfortable due to their thinner stems that don't need to accommodate batteries and bluetooth radios.

I'm not an Apple guy, but I keep coming back to these. I've used generic earbuds that try to clone the design, I've used Pixel Buds, I've used Galaxy Buds, but these are still my favorite and at $20 I've yet to find a better value for the money

4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality but overpriced
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2024
These Apple earbuds deliver excellent sound quality and are very comfortable to wear for extended periods. The design is sleek and they pair seamlessly with my Apple devices. However, I do feel they are a bit overpriced compared to other options on the market that offer similar features. While the performance is impressive, the high price tag might be a deterrent for some. Overall, if you don’t mind paying a premium, these are a great choice for quality earbuds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good for daily life use
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2024
I am writing this review after using it for seven months. The product is very good for daily use. I have a little kid who often stretches it, but it is still working fine. If you need professional sound or very good aesthetics, I don't know, but for daily use, I found it very efficient. I do daily meetings over Zoom, watch videos and movies, and record and upload videos; all are quite smooth. The only thing is that it was made in Vietnam or somewhere.

My previous one was a very expensive US-quality product that was bought directly from Apple and that was gifted by my brother. Unfortunately, the sound stopped in one ear after my daughter stretched it. When I received this one, I found differences in packaging, and the look of the product seemed a little old-fashioned, but that was totally okay for me as I was not much interested in those things. I would highly recommend it for daily use. I think you will get a good product if you are not very unlucky! Best of luck.
