Apple Earpods : A Revolution In Earbuds

With the announcement of the Apple iPhone 5 about a month ago, Apple had presented the new redesigned earphone, Earpods, that is selling $29 each on the Apple stores' racks which it is selling at RM109 in Malaysia. And if you intended to reward yourself with the new iPhone 5, it is included in the box together with the iPhone. It's like "Finally! Apple has finally took action in replacing its dreaded earphone!" but is this over-engineered earphone worth the money? Let's check it out.

The Earpods comes with a travel case which is very useful if you are bringing it around. As you can see that there are major improvements on the design which it can be said totally different with the old dreaded earphone. Getting rid of the old earphone design that has rubber wraps around it is a good thing because it is annoying with the torn-off rubbers on your old Apple earphone. The new design was designed to channel your musics directly towards your eardrums. The in-line remote and mic are bigger than the old ones and they are now having more tactile feel. The mic has the Siri emblem instead of a "dot" behind the in-line remote.

At first, I thought of that the new Earpods will probably falls off easily without the rubber wrapping around the buds. The design of this Earpods does fits comfortably in into my earbuds and be amazed, it does not falls off easily as we thought it could.

The sound quality of this Earpods vastly improved and it is numerous times than the old Apple earphone. I was so surprised to listen to my musics with smoother, fuller and more balanced, with improved emphasis on the bass and low mids sound quality. Having it tested in a public area, Border's Starbucks as an example, I really enjoyed listening to my musics at most of the time. The only noises I heard at that moment were loud conversations and crying kids with about 50% of the volume which is simply amazing to me.

In a nutshell, I am very satisfy with Earpods so far that has a revamped design and vastly improved sound quality. It really does worth the money if you are looking for an earphone with a strict budget!
