Apple Headphone with Microphone and Remote for iPhone 5/5C/5S/4/4S/iPod Touch/Nano/iPad - Non-Retail Packaging - White

Yeah, these are the gen Apple earpods, for a quarter of the price you pay in Apple stores, and half the price Amazon themselves charge to their prime users. The sound quality isn't as good as the older generation of earphones, the ones with the fine metal mesh grille covering one side, but then these are really designed to make apple products "useable" out of the box, for anyone who hasn't yet discovered hi-fi quality earpieces. Your first impulse when you buy into apple kit is to get the better earpods, these ones, since they have the remote, apple now only provide the basic non-remote model with their iphones/ipods, so if you pop down your apple store you'll hand over £30 quid to apple, on top of what you paid for your iphone/ipod...and discover that sound quality is no longer a selling point for apple. So you'll keep these in reserve for phone calls or situations, such as jogging, when you don't want to spoil the next set of earphones you buy, which are likely to be Atomic Floyd or B&O for audiophiles, or some faux-rapper brand for lifestyle junkies.At £30 this isn't a purchase you want to make, especially not from apple stores, but for £7.50 they're a bargain from third-party retailers and ideal for general rough-and-tumble use which would wreck your top-flight gear.Tip for use: the odd shape makes you want to insert them into the ear canal, pointed end innermost, but this isn't how they work. They sit flat against the ear canal, not inside it, and sound comes out of a tiny slit, which is why it isn't a patch on the old full-diaphragm earphones.

I was initially wary about a pair of "genuine" Apple headphones that cost this price. They came delivered in what very much resembled the official apple packaging and I can't find any difference. The sound quality is as good as the original pair that came with my iPhone, as does the build quality. The headphones themselves are incredibly comfortable; I hate earphones that go inside of your ear properly and these are a nice affordable alternative to the chunky earbuds that are usually offered as a substitute. The remote control is extremely functional, with the ability to play/pause/skip songs, as well as adjusting the volume. It's useful being able to answer the phone handsfree, and I've never had a problem with the mic's clarity.My only gripe with these headphones (and admittedly I can't grumble too much for the price), is the quality. As with all apple products, the plastic doesn't feel particularly durable, and from experience a pair of these headphones only tend to last 4 months or so with regular use before they begin to fray. I have these now as a spare pair, however if you're looking for something to last in the long run, it's worth paying a little bit extra to avoid repeatedly buying the same product.

I use earphones when commuting a lot and seem to go through them quite quickly. That's why I go for headphones under £10. I prefer in ear headphones as they're more discreet and easier to pack away quickly.Theses are Apple Earpods - everyone is familiar with these. I have tried other brands such as Sony, Philips and JVC earphones under £10 and the Apple Earpods are in my opinion, better. They have decent sound quality with a good bass range for its size. They fit very comfortably without falling out and without having to resort to in-ear cup fittings. The Earpods have a built in microphone, which again is pretty decent for phones calls and Skyping but the volumes buttons do not work on my Android phone. The build quality is again good for the price point (under £10) and they're still working after 6 months, which is a good sign.I would recommend these for anyone after basic headphones for their phone or laptop, whether it's iPhone or Android as it'll still work. Shame it doesn't come in black but for under £10 (I bought mine from Amazon for £8.24) they're good headphones and very handy when commuting.

I brought these headphones When my original apple headphones broke. The delivery was excellent as the product came in good time. About the product it self it looks fairly the same as the original apple headphones however the headphones I was sent out were faulty as the left earphone was not working. So I contacted them and told them about the issue and they sent out another pair. Unfortunately this pair was also faulty as this time the right earphone was not working. I had to contact them again and finally a pair thats was working fine was sent to me. The quality is not excellent but keeping in consideration of the price it is a bargain buy. However these earphones only lasted me 2 weeks which was shame. The only reason why I'm giving it three stars is because I was pleased with the delivery and overall customer service provided by the company who sold these.If you are thinking of buying earphones I would avoid these as you might as well put in some extra cash and get something that will last longer.

Who does know that blow that comes with buying a new bra, in your correct size, I may add, only to get home and aaaaaaargh, the flipping back fasteners feel like they arerepelling magnets, never to join together! That was me 1 week away from my holiday, lovely new, matching underwear that I couldnt wear. Saw this bra strap lengthener and "et voila!" My order arrived in time for my holidays and my new bra's fitted beautifully. A REAL MUST HAVE IN EVERY WOMANS HANDBAG, our size changes daily ladies, what with hormones etc, lets face it. Your ribcage will sigh a sigh of relief on those bad days and who knows, that old favourite, lingering at the bottom of your drawer, unworn, waiting for the "when Im thinner days", will see daylight and return to being your best buddy. This product cannot fail to please !!!!!
