Customer Ratings & Reviews

I appreciate these ear pods for a number of reasons: They are small and portable, and easy to carry with me. I can use the built-in microphone with my computer for speech recognition, and I can use it with my tablet or phone for Skyping. They don't amplify the sound of my own chewing and swallowing like in-ear buds do Being slightly hard of hearing, and I have to turn the cheap over-the head headphones to near max volume to clearly understand words on some videos, and this bothers the person sitting next to me. These have the sound directly in my ear so I can hear well at lower volume with no "sound leakage". Good quality over-ear headphones block out most noise, which is great if I really need to concentrate, but often I have other responsibilities to deal with, such as answering my kids questions, or letting the dog out when she barks, or investigating the crashing noise from the next room. With these I can still hear outside sounds while I am wearing them, so I am more comfortable wearing these around the house. I can easily wear only one earpod at a time, so I can pay attention to what is going on in the room, but still hear if a phone call on hold actually connects me with a live person. Finally, I sometimes get insomnia, and listening to music or a familiar audiobook helps me go to sleep, but I can't play this out loud or it keeps my spouse awake. Other headphones are really uncomfortable to wear in bed, but these are small enough that they are comfortable, so I get to sleep. Overall a great all-purpose solution.

These headphones are much more comfortable than they looked. The sound quality is good and I use the microphone all the time for calls and people never complain. These are great. In the long run I'm not sure how durable the cord will be (had a similar but different pair that broke down over time) but so far have no reason to believe these won't last a long time.

I was a huge fan of apples old earbuds. I wear headphones almost constantly for probably 6-8 hours per day most days, and the old earbuds were the most comfortable I'd ever found. They needed replacing every 4-6 months because the sound would start to invert (be louder out than in), but that was ok. I was very very worried when the new earpods came out. I had no reason to be! These earpods are not only as comfortable as the old earbuds, but they also last longer, stay in the ear better, and have really incredible sound quality! The lack of a ruberized layer or cushion does not cause any discomfort (at least for me), and they do not cancel too much noise or give you that ear-popping sensation by going too deep into the ear. They also still interface with older iPods (Nano 4th and 5th gen at least) to control volume and pause-play, as well as recording voice messages. If you're looking for a great comfortable pair of earbuds that will go with you day to day, these are the best I've found.

The sound quality is very good. I've spent lots of money in the past on after-market earphones, but nothing works better for the money for an IPod or IPhone. They are pretty durable, block out enough external noise and fit quite comfortably in the ear. Since they are designed to work with Apple, go with these, not one of the crummy competitors.

Great wired earbuds for a great price. Microphone works better than almost all the other earbuds I've tried for phone singing apps.

great value, great sound and easy fitting for comfort

What I like is their durability. Although they cost more to purchase, they hold up very well. Cheaper ear pods do not last long - usually one side goes out in a month or two. In the long run, the Apple ear pods last so long that cost is less than buying many cheaper ear pods. Also, they are comfortable and have excellent sound quality.

I’m glad I gotten these headphones, picked up a few pairs for some family members, Has much as wireless headsets and earbuds are great having to stop and charge more frequently due to battery life depleting is getting a little annoying. It’s just worth having something reliable especially with the microphone in the right spot. Phone calls are even clearer and I’m not repeating myself as often as I used to. Yes I do still utilize my wireless earbuds for on the go stuff but not has often.

So glad I finally got a pair of these. I have always hated in-ear headphones because they always seemed too big and hurt my ear even with the smallest cover. The shape of these fit so much better and they don't hurt at all! They are worth the higher price.

Why get expensive AirPods to replace a malfunctioning pair of EarPods when you can just buy another pair for $30?! Yeah, the wire gets tangled in pockets and if you’re not careful enough with them, they’ll stop working, but they’re good enough for me. The music sounds good and they’re also not $100+ so that’s great.

I've used expensive headphones and cheap ones, always searching for the perfect fit and sound. Oddly, these fit and sound better than some I've paid 5x as much for. They never fall out, they sound really good, the microphone works very good, and the controls on the cord are very responsive. It's overall a very good buy.

Honestly, I'll take these over the $130 AirPods any day. They fit my ears well, they sound good, they're durable, and they're not ridiculously expensive like their wireless cousins.

They work great! The sound quality is good and they are comfortable!!

I love these headphones. Honestly, for $30, they are a STEAL. They pack just the right amount of punch (bass + treble) and very good fidelity. I have 3 pairs in total as i use my phone all day long, for work and for pleasure. I highly recommend these!

I have a pair of earphones that I paid almost $100 for, yet the Apple EarPods are the ones I can recommend. The rubberized cord resists tangling, the sound is really good for a 'budget' earphone, they fit well, and they come with a case. They aren't going to make your listening experience more magical, but the quality of the sound at the price I paid earns them my enthusiastic endorsement.

I was looking for a replacement for my apple wired headphones. I use them a lot with work, either plugged in to my phone (with an adapter) or in to my laptop for conference calls. I did not realize how bad the sound quality was until I got this new EarPod. I don't need anything fancy or expensive for my needs. All I need is something easy to use for work or for if I wanted to listen on my phone during a jog or walk. Plus - I don't have to worry about charging. This was perfect for the price and the quality is worth every penny.

Well balanced, heavy and comfortable enough to stay in your ear, but not so cheap and light that they fall out. Great mic. Old school wins.

Classic ear buds comfortable, portable, amazing sound quality and easy to use!

This isn't my first pair of EarPods - it's my third. I keep replacing them with the original Apple EarPods because nothing else fits as well, or sounds as good (for the price). These are definitely not audiophile grade, but for the average user they are hard to beat.

These are very similar to the original EarPods, with some improvements: -I find their shape more comfortable than the originals -There is less sound-loss, so I believe the sound quality is improved. As with the original, the microphone is appropriately sensitive (doesn't pick up too much background noise), and the volume controls are convenient and simple. A good product.
