Abstract: 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...
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 ...

Hot and brittle treble, Midrange sucked out, Still uncomfortable for long-term use
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...

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...

Apple's EarPods offer much-improved sound over the previous standard-issue earbuds, but they won't fit all ears equally well -- and that fit will determine whether you think they're great or just so-so.
