14 DAY TRIAL // There are ups and downs with every new product launch, and the iPhone 5 has certainly had its share of both. But you can count the headphones as one of the key winning features, hands down.
The strange-looking EarPods come in their own storage & travel case, which Apple places right underneath the iPhone 5 unit itself when you first unbox the product. Neatly arranged and white as wheat, the EarPods are arguably Apple’s best headphones to date!
Designed with the geometry of the ear in mind, the EarPods output powerful rich bass thanks to a couple of cleverly engineered holes, and they’ll stay comfortably in your ear lobes all day long without causing strain.
Even the cable material has improved so it untangles easier. And the remote + mic controls on the cord are now softer (though still robust), bigger (for all kinds of thumbs) and more accessible.
You can pick these up straight away from Apple’s store. They’re a steal at $29 / €22 for offering such a high-quality audio experience. Who’d have thought we’d ever say an Apple product was a bargain?
