With Apple-made earbuds, it used to be that you'd only listen to them when you couldn't find your other headphones, or perhaps on the way home from the store from which you bought your new iDevice. Apple employees probably did the same thing, which is...

If you haven't yet upgraded to the iPhone 5 , can you get some of that iPhone 5 experience by upgrading to Apple's new EarPods earbuds? At $29 they're not as expensive as high-end earpieces, but they're not exactly cheap either. Compared to the original A...
Overall, I think many people will be happily surprised with the new EarPods from Apple. They sound better, they fit better, and they're easier to use.So what's the downside? The price tag. The EarPods are $29 and while that's nothing compared to ultra-hig...

When all is said and done, Apple's new EarPods are an improvement on the earbuds they replace, but only marginally so. It's hard to imagine anyone would compare the two and express a preference for the older model. With that said, we had hoped for a lit...

Apple's Earbuds were introduced with the original iPod in 2001. After 11 years, Apple has replaced the iconic white earpieces with the EarPods (US$29). I bought a pair right away, as they're only a few dollars more than the throw-away headphones I usually...
Should you use them? For most people, the answer will be yes. They ship with your iPhone 5 and iPod and might even fit in your ears for a change. The sound isn't something to write home about but it's a big improvement from where it used to be and, lik...

Pretty soon millions—tens of millions!—of suckers will own a pair of Apple EarPods. If you hated the old Apple buds because they sound terrible and don't fit, good news is that these are better. And they still come free with a device. The bad news is that...
To be fair, this is a freebie accessory. Other device makers dont bother to bundle products with quality accessories. so why should we expect Apple to? If you buy an iPhone 5 or iPod, you wont have a choice. You will involuntarily own them. Thats fine—...

After 11 long years, not counting a very minor mid-cycle update, Apple has finally completely redesigned its trademark white earphones that come bundled with every iPod and iPhone. And with good results. In fact, Apple may have achieved the impossible: Th...
Great sound for the price. Surprisingly strong bass considering it's not an in-canal design. Inexpensive. Includes small carrying case.
Design still doesn't fit everyone. Doesn't block out any external noise and some sound leaks out...

Headphones are your smartphone's best friend. They are the cheese to your phone's wine, the glass of milk to your phone's Oreo. They are nearly as ubiquitous as smartphones themselves and you see people wearing headphones almost everywhere you go.A lot of...
