So you got the iPhone 5 and found the earpods.

The question is: How it sounds like?

Will it blend? That is the question

Didn't even open, I already have Beyerdynamic XP1.

Tried it once. Sound much better than previous apple headset (haha obviously) but still will not use it over my own headsets (monster purity)

The sound is good but not very comfortable wearing it. It easily fall off your ear. No grip

If compare with my monster beats dr. Dre pro.... Sigh...

But for the price and value, I will give it 4 out of 5 star, it is much better than the previous 1

Anyone want to sell?

It's really much better than any normal earphones provided by phones. Probably the best among "free" earphones..

Of course, if you're going to compare it against high-end earphone/headphone, it will surely lose out. Though, I can say I am satisfied with its performance.

Fcuking amazing for me...

sounds normal to me, nothing much

Above average.

i see what did there...

I think its good enough for casual listening

A lot better than previous 3GS sound is equal on both sides, bass also ok.

overall not too bad.. lovin it already.

For average or rough use boleh la. But dont think it will suit audiophile. So it depends on the usage

it's better than the old apple earphone
quite heavy on the bass...

still prefer my 6 years old Sennheiser earphone compared to earpods

sure better than the previous earphone!!

very good sound quality. Almost as good as the Beats earphones you get with the One X

quality is good, but not good enough for me to unwrap it haha.
still sitting inside the box untouched

Beyerdynamic XP1 <---------------------What does it mean?? Best quality sound??

its an earphone from beyerdynamics... quite bassy i would say.... in term of sound quality yes its defiantly better than apple earphones

Oh, ic. Older 1 not nice a???

Beyerdynamic is a brand of audiophile headphones/earphones, XP is the series, XP1 is the model.

Not that great. Even a normal Logitech earphone surpass it. And it's over price if you want to get a pair of it yourself.

i have 2set..doesnt fit my ear. buy from me if want..haha

nvr heard of that brand b4..lol.. im so outdated..

it's nice for 1st time wearing...Noise cancelling better than previous one.

Btw i'm Using DENON AH-C560R

For me, it is above average and worth the bucks

Super agreed

The sound volume is quite soft

hi guys,

remember to check ur earpod inside ur iphone box. my friend bought it on the 1st day and need to send for warranty on the next day due to no sound from the earpod.

for those not using the earpod, better check it 1st...

It's absolutely a better pair...compared to their earlier earbuds of course.

Aside from that, it's probably one the best stock earphone that came bundled with a device in the market. I'd say most iPhone 5 users gonna stick with EarPods for a quite a long time, before upping the ante. It's quite good for what it's worth.

To be honest, never really tried it

and even my old ip4 one is still in the box untouched lol

Honestly a casual listener may like it but for me, I really think it needs more improvement.
I think it has serious sound leakage, partly is due to the design.
Light bass
It will fall off easily and you will need to continuously press it into your ear.
Not a very good earphone imo.
Get something else

Fits well in my ears! Perhaps I have bigger ears

hahaha....at first i also think it's bass is so shit...but....if you point the hole to more centre of your ear...bass is stronger...

Unused still in the box LOL

Yeap, cuz less sound leakage ma..
But if you notice, this earphone really cant go low..
The low bass is hardly audible..
The isolation is just like the old one, zero, but this can be good too..

the Sound quite not bad and clear also.... But I still using the old headphone ......

For a stock earphone. Definitely above average.
But in terms of an audiophile usage, a normal Logitech would surpass Earpods no sweat

Surprisingly I tried on my friend's Earpod, sounds so so to me... in fact I think the previous version is better.

I have not tried my own Earpod though

Yup light bass for those who listen/have crap music/video source.

Its bassy. More than even my dre urebeats.

Been using it a lot n quite happy with it. Perfect for my ALACS n especially awesome for movies.
My only qualm with it i wish the plastic was softer.

Def above average.

very good sound quality. way much more better than previous version

Already sold them for RM80

I listen using iPod classic.
All these are based on personal reference..
But basically, i dont think an open iem can be bassier than a closed iem Monster beat.
Try asking audiophiles

Hence y i am saying ure personal preference is skewed because of the inferior music source ure using.

Btw Dude i aint askin.
Tellin ya. Stating it. Its bassier than my urebeats
Audiophiles... most of them are using inferior music/video source but judging nonsense.
The sound on the earpods are good.

The number of ppl i know who even tag and have a good remuxed/encoded ALAC collection and properly encoded m4v videos from BD's... are so few. Yet theres so many so called audiophiles on idevices...

Its very good earphone.

But not as good as some pricey sens

But I am listening it via a dock. Means no classic's amp interfered.
Its pure.
Bassier than urbeats?
Not sure about this but its funny that a classic can make urbeat bassier but cant do the same thing on earpod.

Tbh I don't understand why people quarrel to justify on something which is very subjective. The sound quality you listened may be slightly different when comparing with others.. Some people think its bassless some love the bass.. Just like one love coffee and the other love tea and they end up quarreling about the choice.. Silly.

LOL! This is starting to get offensive..
Btw your right la.. Maybe I just dont like the sound it delivers

Think that fella needs some reading to do.

As i said before the earpods are bassier than my urebeats. Didnt ever say it was better overall.

But for a free earphone is pretty good.

Also ppl should take note of how ppl review earphones etc. MP3 Lame vs ALAC ( getting more popular recently) vs the 256kbps itunes music.

Most reviews are based on the last. And the encode was not as pure as u might think. I have a lot of itunes music. Most of them were encoded with what apple thought the eq should sound like.

The best is to judge with ALACs with no eq setting on the idevices.

Stop believing everything u read especially reviews are true. Payola is rampant people. Heck even i got duped by urebeats

quality better than the previous apple earplugs but just so so to me...

i'll stay with my Klipsch Image S4i thank you

after 1 year... it is still in the box... never took it out...

same here! never bother to use it as it cannot fit my ear!

The earpods are probably not meant to give a snug-fit, but the design is more to keep it in your ear - like I find it can stay in place much better compared to normal design when I'm jogging.

Okok la.... Still far away from my copper turbines.... Hehe

Canot fit as in keep drop out? Mayb u wan to try Earskinz?

I feel that the earpods fit perfectly. And once its fully fitted, the bass is superb

any idea where to get it in malaysia and how much is it?

You might want to check his signature. lol. It's the box with many words below his post.

I was using my phone. cannot see signature. but now i see it.

HAHAHAHA! That explains it!

Anyone still using EarPods (3.5mm ones, not lighting port)?

Still using mine with 6S Plus and laptops, but only in office lol

i have a pair with Earskinz on but is mostly as a tertiary reserve. have 2 bluetooth earphones lying around readily.

what about?

oh wow, earpods are almost 10 years old already?

wow earskinz.... earpod not fitting well for you eh?

yea right? still same wear piece design on airpod....

they sit fine by itself but i prefer a little bit more grip especially after a long day where the canal gets a little bit oily. the attachment also gives a bit of sound improvement which is a huge plus for on-ear earphones.

then again, i seldom use them anymore.
