Apple EarPods MD827ZM / A

Advantages: Magic detailing, equal frequency balance, wide range in the upper part of the spectrum (in fact, the bass is a bit insufficient). The sound is at the level of prof. headphones, IF IT IS TIGHTLY INSERTED AND DO NOT MOVE DURING THE LISTENING.
.
These are headphones for listening in silence and in a static pose.

Disadvantages: THE FORM!!! Headphones designed for reptiloid ears.
In the ears of a person they are loose, because of what, as a result of diffraction, the level of low frequencies (bass) is significantly reduced.
Forget about jogging with them, they do not hold when walking.
.
SOUND INSULATION IS PRACTICALLY ABSENT. From the noise in the transport is not saved, as well as from the murzilok in the speakers.
.
PS
Do you want the sound quality to be good and not to fall out of your ears?
Apple has a solution for you! Buy a model 5 times more expensive ... (upd: not anymore. Buy Airpods, without wires and more expensive, but the same)

Comment: I am a sound engineer.

Advantages: Very beautiful appearance, magical sound, very convenient control panel, cool packaging, incredible ergonomics.

Disadvantages: The two biggest problems: weak wires and overpriced price in two. Because of the white color, dirt is visible at the plastic joints, it can only be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned, because these stitches are tiny, there is no sound insulation, people can hear everything, the packaging is beautiful, but it is difficult to push back the headphones, but it is possible You train to shove back.

Comment: I would like to grumble about wires. The sound in the left earpiece disappeared, I disassembled, it turned out that inside the wiring came off the speaker. How, Karl, how ?! This is taking into account that I treat them as jewels (and they are jewels, judging by the price). This posting is thinner than a hair. Considering that the company is quite large, they could have made it three times thicker, although what I say ... Tim will go to any extremes for the sake of profit. Now the funny thing is: after I soldered the wire, the earphone began to sound better than my right-wing fellow ... Bravo, what can I say ... But I liked the headphones, yes. Given all the above, solid four

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, at least from the point of view of the average user (not a music lover with absolute hearing); Convenience - even with long wearing ears do not hurt; Unlike vacuums, the liners do not close the ear canal completely and the surrounding world remains audible - the risk of being driven down by a passing car is lower, and the load on the eardrum is also reduced; This headset is suitable not only for iPhones; The main advantage is that this is first of all a headset, which means you can talk on it without taking the phone out of your pocket, since the microphone and the answer button work on all modern devices.

Disadvantages: The price is too high, as for all products of the "gardening" company; There are various assemblies that may have their drawbacks, such as a less elastic wire or the inability to use it as an FM antenna; This headset is very sensitive to physical effects, so you need to treat it gently, like a woman, otherwise it will quickly fail (first of all, the remote is covered); Difficult to repair broken cable.For the Yabloko’s, it can hardly be considered a problem, it’s broken — thrown away, bought a new one, but if someone needs it, I can tell you how to do it better.

Comment: In its category, this is probably one of the best headsets, so if there is a choice to take / not take, take, you will not regret while you are on sale with such a connector, then only the flyings that are friends with their company's devices will go. If there is no possibility to purchase it, and it was planned to use it exclusively for listening to music, you can take any normal vacuums, for example from jbl - the sound will not be worse.
There is an opinion that the headset that comes with the iPhone / iPod is the original, and everything else is a fake. The argument is the softness / hardness of the wire. In fact, this is not the case. Of course, there are many fakes of different quality, but the point is not that. In fact, the hard and elastic headsets can be original, epplovskimi ... but the plants that produced them are different. Those that are softer made in Vietnam, and hard - of course China. You can distinguish them by writing on the wire: "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in ..." China or Vietnam. As in the photo below. Naturally Vietnamese assembly more comfortable.

Advantages: Comfortable shape, do not fall out of the ears.
High quality assembly / materials.
Very licked sound, without unnecessary overtones. Bass sound elastic, collected. They sound great with a technique that has a graphic equalizer.
Stylish look.
When used, everyone can see that you are from the "sect"

Disadvantages: I do not like the sound from iOS. It seems that the headphones repeat all the failures in the frequencies of the iPhone. The built-in equalizer presets do not correct the situation. In the end, it turns out not at all greasy sound, very little lower middle.
Quite quiet compared to competitors.
High price.
Over time, on the second set, the right earpiece starts to sound quieter.
Inconvenient plug made of slippery glossy plastic, without reflex. It can be difficult to pull out of the connector.

Advantages: Convenience when worn (dragging all day and no pain in the ears), design, remote. Served 17 months.

Disadvantages: price!

Comment: I bought new ones in replacement of old ones (after 17 months of use, for inserts or cigarettes that I had this record), in which the left earphone broke. There was an opportunity to take more and better sound, but the fact of convenience is very important to me! In addition, the new bass became more distinct, which was surprising, since it was deaf in the old ones, and the volume increased significantly. I think the improvement in quality is associated with a newer party.

Advantages: good sound quality. build quality, fit well in the ears. Remote control player. Comes with storage case ...

Disadvantages: poor insulation, but this sin almost all liners .... the price is too high ...

Comment: I think these headphones are one of the best in their class. But as a headset that comes bundled, it's generally excellent. I do not quite understand the people who are comparing them here with vacuum senheisers. It is not fair to compare headphones belonging to different categories of sub-earplugs, and senhi vacuum. Naturally, they sound completely different. and in this case, the choice is individual for each. someone then liners to someone. I for example can not listen to vacuum headphones, my ears do not take the gum inside. they are sore and inflamed, before I had to seek medical help once. I think that I am not alone in my problem. so I use liners. I think that these may not be the best, but some of the best in their class. the sound is really good. perceptible bass, good sounding mids and rich upper. Instrumental music is a pleasure to listen to. I purchased an iPod shuffle and these headphones. the result was an excellent stereo for 3 with a small thousand.
People prefer headphones earbuds, I recommend these very ...

Advantages: 1. Comfortable for my ear.
2. Cool, clear sound.
3. Look beautiful.
4. Music control buttons (works only on iDevices).
5. It is very convenient to store them.

Disadvantages: 1. Since white, pretty quickly get dirty.
2. All friends who had these headphones, in one voice say that they break. Most often breaks the wire near the headphone or control buttons. I have them for half a year, the only cant - a strip on the earphone became visible, i.e. a place where the two halves were glued together.
