Perfect for the Apple purist who can’t stand the tinny, standard earbuds. We’ll admit it. We’re picky about headphones. We spend a few hours a day listening to podcasts while commuting, and we work best with some background tuneage. And...

Much better than Apple’s standard earbuds. Built-in mic for use with iPhones, or iPods with Voice Record functionality. Accurate sound reproduction.

Flat, less than inspired sound is best understood as clinical, minus the sharper definition or liveliness of leading competitive earphones; at normal volumes, critically lacks the warm bass found in earphones sold for equal or lower prices. More trebl...

Ultimately, the In-Ear Headphones With Remote and Mic are a good but not great new audio accessory from Apple. Their positives are a mix of obvious and surprising design changes from earlier Apple releases: a more intelligible microphone, a more usefu...
