EarPods

After 3 years of developing, Apple have finally released new in ear headphones called EarPods. Accompanying all iPhone 5 and other next gen purchases from Apple, this new innovation has quite a noticeable new and improved sound.

Whats new

Unlike the traditional, circular earphones, the new and exciting design of the new Apple EarPods is defined by the shape and geometry of the ear itself. This quality allows the device to become noticeably more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphone.

Thankfully, not only the appearance of the innovation has enhanced, but the sound quality has improved also. The speakers inside Apple EarPods have been engineered to minimize sound loss and maximize sound output. The EarPods output a deeper, richer bass tone unlike the hard bass given by the older versions, so essentially you get high-quality audio that’s just as impressive as what you’d hear from more expensive headphones such as Beats my Dr Dre, for $30.

Audio controls as well as calling controls are still a feature which also allows audio and video playback.

Personal opinion

The EarPods release a pleasant sound with better bass and a clean sound. I have noticed they are designed to rest inside your ears instead of sealing inside and became tedious and myself and others in my social group found the earphones would tend to fall out from the slightest of movements.

Definitely hold on to your previous earphones for my active uses such as exercising and keep EarPods aside for transport uses or in your household.

The EarPods are a great, cheap set of earphones as a free accessory with next gen products from Apple or for enjoying music on a budget as they are only $30, although I personally prefer more expensive products which allow me to enjoy my music wherever I go.
