These Apple AirPods are amazing and have such good sound quality & mic quality, the buttons are so good and the instruction manual is very helpful and I love this product and would definitely recommend. I love listening to music on YouTube videos on these. I feel like as soon as you play the music or video, you can’t hear anything else around you like you can only hear what’s actually playing through the EarPods. Show details

These are the most comfortable best sounding classic (half in ear)(open)(earbud) headphones ive ever used, nothing sounds this good that i can wear all day. Just wanted to spread the word. I know there is lots of snake oil in the audio community but if its any credit im just a regular listener that prefers science based research. (Make sure to buy genuine ones!) Show details

Cant live without – If your like me and lose everything and never charges your items this is probably one of the best purchases for music. I use them everyday and cause i purchased the adapter which then can be used on nearly any device. And because they are not $300 bluetooth earphone it doesnt hurt the wallet too much when i lose them. The sound is actually really good. Cons - Tangle - Loses sound quality over time but still good Show details

More comfortable than the PRO 2 – There is NO point in having the best sounding ear pods if they are so uncomfortable and fall out. These are without doubt the most comfortable "In Ears". I generally don't like In Ear...they can never compete with over ears. However when I'm gardening or working DIY. These are my go to. You cant realistically wear over ears. The sound is… Read more

good enough for around town and garden. It catches the cord occasionally but now I run the cord under my shirt. I can wear these all day. I have the expensive in Ear pods Pro 2 with NC and can only use them for a few hours watching TV. These corded ones are my favorite in ear's

Would highly recommend – Great earphones have lasted me for a year with no issues at all. Would highly recommend it for casual headphone users who listen to music daily. Audio quality is clear and works perfectly. Show details

Good enough for the price! Typical Apple cables are cheap and thin – These headphones are not as good as the airpods but they're fine for just throwing in your bag as you go to and from work. They are not good for exercise in my opinion as they fall out and the cables get in the way. As a plus, the microphone is great for Zoom / Skype / Facetime calls. Show details

These are pretty good for daily use – These hands-free are pretty good alternative for any other in ear headphones. The sound quality is really good and the way they fit in your ears is really awesome. It is very comfortable as well. However, this earphones are very expensive and the build quality is not very impressive for the price. I have been using it for years but have to buy a new one every half year.  Show details

Great sound quality but easily damaged – These earpods work great and have an amazing sound quality but almost always start breaking after a while. Sometimes one of the headphone keeps falling out of the ear and does not stay in place. Because of this, you can not use these headphones while doing a physical activity like running.  Show details

Knock Off – These are NOT GENUINE Apple EarPods. How you people don’t know this is beyond me. They are loud enough and all functions work but have absolutely NO BASS. You can tell straight away by listening. Kogan are falsely advertising these as Apple and do not care. KOGAN! I would like a refund.  Show details

Best EarPods I have ever owned – Excellent sound quality, super fast charge and they last longer than any other earpod I have had. Very happy with this product. Only downside is that can pop out from time to time. Show details

Fantastic little thing! – Bought a pair at Officeworks near Melbourne Central, and for the $48 i spent on them, they were absolutely fantastic, and provided the bass id expect from $200 pairs i've had in the past. Definitely recommend these for a quick fix! Show details

Convenience at its finest – These pairs are found in every unboxing of an apple smart device such as iPhones and iPads. These earphones have a balance of mid highs and lows to augment a pleasing experience. Although these earphones lack wireless connectivity, they were clearly designed to carry out their purpose...which is to deliver music to their user's ears simply by plugging it into a device. No "connection failed," no "device not found." Show details

No Complaints – This is my everyday use and it's just so convenient. I got it with my phone, and it's a pair of responsive (controls and connection) earphones. I will say sound quality isn't the best, and it sucks that you can't get lossless and high-res audio especially with the fact that it connects through the lightning port since my X doesn't have a headphone… Read more

jack but I don't really mind much, it's convenient. It's not really worth it when you get it alone though I will say, it's like similar quality to some $10-20 earphones but it's aesthetic is great.

Good value – A quality durable pair of headphones that have been tested to the limit and haven't broken down. Decent sound quality with decent bass brings out the life in music which cheaper flimsier headphones can't. Show details

My favourite things in the worlddd!!! – I've been using this product for so long and it's the best! I use these headphones to listen to absolutely everything! For music, movies, anything! I can easily use them whilst working, studying and working out without them falling out due to their perfect shape that holds in your ears. I am highly satisfied with this product and will never not own these! Highly highly recommend! Show details

Great staff! – I got these headphones from the Harvey Norman in Corio. Not only is the product awesome but the store is just amazing. Great staff, never a quick visit cause there’s always something to look at! Quality items and quality experience. Harvey Norman is always my go to store for literally everything!

Can’t live without them! – I love the shape of these earphones compared to the old model. They stay better when engaging in physical activities and are much more comfortable even when lying down. I really like the sound quality and I like that there is a button on the cord for volume control. However, I have found that they break quickly.  Show details

Awesome product – Apple earpods are a great buy. Some myt think its pricey and its totally worth it. Bought it last year to use it under my bike helmet as i love riding bike with music on. Pods charges to 100% in 15 minutes. Very clear music. Battery life is good too. MUST BUY.  Show details

Expensive for an earbud but still good nonetheless – These are the headphones that came along with my IPhone 8 when I bought it. They're definitely a step up from the old Apple headphones. The quality of the sound is much better, and they stay in my ears without falling out which is a plus. The design is much more sleek and high quality feeling. I use these headphones when I run on a treadmill or… Read more

use the elliptical at my gym. I can hear the music I'm listening to without the distractive talking or background noise. I also like that you can change the volume right from your headphones, and it even has a mic which is great.

I wouldn't buy these if they didn't come with my IPhone because they are over priced, but I'm happy that I have these. My boyfriend even gave me his because he doesn't like them so I have two. They've lasted me awhile, and I've never had a pair break on me yet.

Sound Quality

The sound isn't the highest or best quality that you could get, but the sound is still really good for ear bud headphones. It's a step up from the old Apple headphones. The sound is very clear.

Comfort

They changed the design so these ear phones feel more molded to my ear. They are very comfortable and whenever I wear them I can't even tell they are there.

They updated the design on these headphones. They fit into my ear better without falling out all the

Great! Can’t live without them! – Really great quality. I decided to purchase another pair after losing the last pair I had. I’m very impressed with the sound and comfort of these earphones. Use them everyday at the gym and can’t live without them. Would highly recommend to anyone who isn’t looking for a wireless option.  Show details

Love them – I love the Apple EarPods I have. I listen to music and YouTube videos and the quality is great. I can hear things clearly but they do break easily. I can't run with mine in or do physical activity because they just fall out of my ears. The volume is good and is easily adjustable.  Show details

Great sounds but break too quickly – I use my apple headphones for making calls and for listening to music. I do like the quality of them but I find that they break to quickly even if you take care of them. I wouldn't recommend them for listening to music specifically but for everyday use, they work fine!  Show details

Great sound, but breaks easily – These earphones do the job - the sound is very nice and crisp, and they are fairly comfortable in the ear. However, they do break really easily for some reasons and after a few months of usage I'm forced to replace them. They are definitely not the most sturdy earphones on the market and I would personally consider investing in a better pair.  Show details

I love these, never getting other headphones again – As someone who uses headphones often, and has done for years, honestly these are my favourite that I’ve ever had. I love them! The sound quality is great, they are comfortable by headphone standards and they last forever! I don’t think I’ll buy a different pair ever again. They do have a higher price tag when compared to similar style headphones… Read more

on the market, but I honestly think it’s worth it. If you spend $5 every couple of months for cheap ones, you might as well fork out for ones that are going to last, plus the sound quality in these is so much better than cheaper knock offs or brands. I highly recommend these!

Very comfortable and good sounds quality – These EarPods are great compare to other headphones, I like the design of it because it never fell off my ear, the quality of the sounds is very good, the durability of the earpods is a bit questionable but I still like it. Overall it's just a fantastic headphones to have, except for the durability, I'm fine with most of it.  Show details

Standard earphones - nothing special – These earphones are quite standard and for that reason alone, do not deserve the high price tag. However, I do find they last longer than the cheaper brands you find at supermarkets or department stores. The earphones work well and do their job, I just can't justify the price. They are neat and look nice. Easy to get tangled when kept in handbag which is slightly inconvenient.  Show details

Great Sound, Comfortable, Easy – Wireless, easy to use, keep a good charge, and have great sound. You just have to be mindful of keeping the pair together and always putting them back in their case where they charge. The benefit of these vs the over the ear kind (we have Bose wireless noise cancelling as well) is that you can still be involved in conversations happening around you, which is helpful. Overall, absolutely worth it.  Show details

Good quality and inexpensive – These earphones are great !! I use them on a daily basis and they provide great sound quality for a good price as well. I have always repurchased them and will continue to. They last a decently long time if taken care of and do not need replacements often but they are not expensive  Show details

Quality differs – I have gone through about 5 pairs of earphones in the past couple of years. They work well! Lasted through the wash, the quality was good too. Recently I bought a new pair as my old ones finally broke. This pair broke on the first day - the material seems different. A lot thinner, stretchier, and more prone to breaking. I was refunded and got a… Read more

Favourite headphones – Overall the apple EarPods are great headphones, especially since they come included with iPods and iPhones. Sound is of a good quality and they stay in your ears well. Only downside is that they don’t last that long which is disappointing given they are fairly expensive when buying them standalone  Show details
