Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic (NEWEST VERSION)[Retail Packaging]

 (186 customer reviews)

NOTE! BUY FROM AMAZON! DO NOT BUY FROM THIRD PARTY SELLERS!

I trust Amazon. Though the headphones are more expensive if you buy from them, they are genuinely Apple. The sound quality could use some improvement. The basses are weak and the highs aren't the clearest. However, they work pretty well as casual use headphones and terribly as exercise headphones. Sweat easily gets in the remote and causes it to stop functioning. Use with caution when exercising. Using the remote is dead simple. Volume up, volume down, and center button. Click center once for play/pause music, twice to skip forward, three times to go back, and hold for voice control [if on newer iPhones (will it work for iPod touches?)]. It is very convenient for answering/making calls. The microphone yields good quality talking and listening is clear. The connector part of the microphone has changed from weak rubber to a hard plastic. However, the cord can still easily be pulled out.

I ordered this Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic a few days ago because of the very low price, and because of Amazon's reputation as a trusted retailer. This order was fulfilled by a third part retailer - The OEM Shop.

The Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic arrived a few days after I placed my order. The Apple packaging and instructions were not included in the manila envelope from The OEM Shop. There was also no printed receipt included within the manila envelope. The only thin that was included in the manila envelope from The OEM Shop was the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic.

When I tried to use the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic, the play/pause button did not function properly. And, when the mic was used in the recording of audio and video, there was static in both recordings. Although the price for this item was low, it was not woth it because the product does not work as it should.

Those iPhone earphones (the ones that come with your phone) are pretty fragile. I know they're not the most durable or sweat-resistant earphones on the market, but I like the remote and mic features too much to go with something else. Ever since I got my iPhone I've gone through at least 5 pairs of these things.

At the store, these earphones will run you around $30. I was hesitant to buy an unrated item from a seller (Beast Deals) I hadn't used before, but for $12.88 I figured the chance to find an outlet for earphones over 50% cheaper than at the store was worth the risk, and bought it. Obviously due to my 5-star rating, I'm glad I did.

The earphones do not come in a box or in white packaging like at the Apple store, but are coiled like they would be inside said packaging. The earphones are, as far as I can tell, genuine. The sizing is the same, the length of the cord seems to be the same, examination of the head and earbuds seems to indicate it's the same...Read more
