Apple In-ear Headphones for iPod (White)

 (245 customer reviews)

I am a long time audiophile and dedicated headphone/earphone buff. I currently own the top line `phones from most of the major manufacturers including Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Sony, Etymotic, AKG, AT, etc. I state this only in an effort to establish my bona fides and not to put down the views any other reviewer. This said, let me state unequivocally that I consider these earphones to be an excellent value. Contrary to the previous review, the bass response is both plentiful and very well balanced. However, as with all in-ear-monitors, the seal between the silicone tip and the ear canal is all important. No seal, no bass--it's that simple.

Very impressed with these!! MUCH MUCH better than the typical iPhone / iPod headphones. Bass response is very, very good. I didn't have any 'cable noise' like a previous reviewer.

By far the best headphones I've had yet for my iPhone - I also had the V-Moda Vibe Duos and the bass response and frequency range of the Apple In-Ear Headphones KILLS the Vibe Duos. I'll eBay those... great headphones for the price, highly recommend.

I hear a lot of subtle differences in sound. A good pair of headphones can make all the difference in listening to music. You'll hear things you would have never heard with a pair of stock headphones or speakers from a laptop. I like to quote Dolby Digital when it comes to audio, especially when it comes to video. "A good tv will make you feel like your in a rainstorm, but a great sound system will make you pull out your umbrella." Apple's new in-ear headphones definitely do just that.

Now don't get me wrong I've tried a lot of different pairs of headphones. Now comparing these to a $300 pair of Bose, I can honestly tell very little difference between these and the Bose. The Apple's are double driver professional headphones. No doubt about it. If you're a fan of techno/electronica and huge bass, these are gonna be your friend for...Read more
