not sure about apple Earpod, but sony MDRXB60EX got really good sound and deep bass, I have to turn down the bass level. good price and great headphones, worth every penny.

These are definitely not like those from my experience. The only thing that the apple buds have over the sonys is the volume control switch. The sonys are noise canceling, less flimsy, and last much longer

This headphones definitely have a deeper bass sound. You can really notice it when u listen to music with an equalizer or a bass booster.

The base sound is stronger than apple headphone. Suited for listening Dance, Dance-pop, Rock...

I have never used the stock Apple headphones as I find them uncomfortable. They don't sound quite as good as the wired J3 earbuds but it's definitely passable sound quality. You won't mistake these for high end like Etymotic but they are very listenable and no longer having to string the wire into your shirt and out your sleeve or wherever else your iPhone makes it worth it.

The bass on these headphones is much stronger than the apple earpods, in fact I sometimes go into my ipod's EQ music settings and turn on the bass reducer for certain types of bass heavy music. If you're a bass lover you will be happy with these.

They are the same exact headphones from Apple. Packaging and all - just one generation older than what Apple sells now. The design of the mic/remote is slightly different. I believe they only come with the mesh caps that are on the headphones, no extra replacements. If you set up an appointment for tech support at the Apple Store, they should be able to give you extra mesh caps as a replacement part.

I don't know how they compare with the ones that you're asking about but I do know that I was not happy at all with them when I compared them to the Bose AR-15 headphones. Hope this helps.

I have the latest generation I-Pod nano. They provide uncompromised excellent sound and have a comfortable fit for my needs. The best out of whatever is out there (or at least whatever Best Buy has , as I sampled all that they have). Monitors work great with my I-Pod. One thing I noticed, though, that battery life decreases by about 20%. Difference being it takes more juice to power the Monitors as opposed to ear buds.

They are better/louder than the iPhone earbuds in my opinion but not by much. I use these for running because the iPhone buds just fall out.

Stick to anything else. After receiving two pairs through warranty i was able to get a refund through amazon today. The product is severely defective and i am just lucky i could get my $80 back. Try apple earpods with mic or some of those skull candy ones. much cheaper and don't brake as easily. Also for the price there isn't a significant difference in sound quality. hope this helps if you have any questions just ask i went through three pairs so ill know.

They are cheaper than Bose, but Bose are better on IPhone. You can make a decision .

If you're talking about Apple's *dual-driver* in-ears, the answer is that they aren't terrible. It would be prejudiced of me or anyone else to slam them just because they're from the same company that packages devices with crappier earbuds. However, the HF2 and HF3 destroy the Apple in-ears. While not dual driver, the balanced armature Etymotics are voiced so perfectly they're worlds better, in my opinion. Certainly worlds of detail you've never heard before will open up to you if you buy them. One thing you should know: The HF3 sounds as good as the HF2 but has a three-button remote. Additionally, the HF3 works better with certain Android phones (the Nexus S and probably the Galaxy Nexus) *as well as* the iPhone. If the controls matter to you, you're better off getting the HF3. Something else that every headphone purchaser should know: Frequency range specs mean nothing. In the first place, they're tweaked and exaggerated. In the second, they're only useful within a single brand to give you a sense of range within it, not between brands with different measuring schemes. That's why you'll find $30 earphones that boast wider FR specs than a hundred dollar pair and the hundred dollar pair still sounds leagues better.

They're the exact same unit. To be perfectly honest I was very disappointed in the fit and finish of them, and the sound quality was not much better than my Beats Tour headphones. I wish someone would've told me before I bought them! :)

No While I'm sure they sounded better than other headphones you've heard, they weren't at even close to their full potential. These headphones require 300ohms to be properly powered, which you MBP won't do. I would highly suggest picking up a amp + DAC combo so you can power these cans to open up the soundstage and let the details of music shine through. If you're looking for a good pair to plug straight into your MBP, I would highly suggest checking out the HD-598's as they are low impedance and can easily be powered by the computers native sound card.

Not sure on the differences, but I'll tell you this. These are by far the worst earbuds I've ever owned. And I own quite a lot, from high end, to low. I've been really impressed with the ' meelectronics' series of buds. For the price, you can beat the sound and fit.

I use JVC Gumy Plus (great cheap buds, btw) and the jack has no problem fitting. I have never used/tried the apple headphones.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both.Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

I believe in my personal experience is to provide better quality of sound. My EarPods are great and working wonderfully, the pointing at you is the main speaker that feeds you most of the music. Try it out, I was spekitcal and switching too, but I tried it and now I probably wouldn't go back because the pervious ones I had would always hank on my ears when trying to pull them now quickly and these just flow out. You know what I mean. I hope this was helpful and enjoy if you do decide to change EarPods.
