5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional IEM December 15, 2008

By Spad

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. These shouldn't be confused with Apple's other, cheaper in-ear model. These are dual driver earphones and offer considerably higher fidelity than most single driver designs. Despite being much cheaper than most other maker's dual driver models, they are the equal of earphones costing twice as much or more. To compare them to iPod earbuds is absolutely ludicrous. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific - much, much better than expected. December 15, 2008

By J. Riga VINE™ VOICE

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. These are in-ear headphones, they need to be pressed lightly into the ear canal for best use. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth twice what they're listed at. December 23, 2008

By Aaron Spriggs

Ok, so I'm an audiophile.
au'di'o'phile -noun
- a person who is especially interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction.

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 quite some time. Also, if you're using a iPod classic, 2nd gen iPod Touch, or 4th Gen nano you get volume controls right on the cord. It also half works with the iPhone with it's built in microphone and pause/stop clicker, but no volume. They work as a great set of speakers for any device though. Oh, did i forget to mention, they're $79?

Wait did he just say $79? Yes. Yes he did. Now I ask you, why would you not buy a pair of pro headphones for less than half of what you could get comparably from any other company? They're purely worth it just at the price point to go out and buy them on a whim. Especially if you've never used a pair of non-stock headphones before, or just the standard iPod headphones. These are going to blow you away. (use them with a high fidelity version of Such Great Heights - Postal Service, astounding)

So what do you get for $79? Well, a cord wrap and case for the headphones, replaceable screw-tops for the mesh covers that are covering the sound chamber, and 3 different types of silicone heads, small, medium, and large. I've been content with just the mediums and I think I have pretty normal ears. They're relatively comfortable considering you're shoving something in your ear, and that takes getting used to, don't get me wrong. It's not exactly natural to stick something in your ear. Definitely a huge bang for your buck. Buy them, NOW! (Or use your Christmas money to get them. You won't be disappointed.)
