5 stars for iPhone/iPod user
I am rating this pair of EarPods as an iPhone User.
The old earphones from Apple were known to be really bad. The reason why I was using them was for the remote which was really convenient.
Apple finally released new earphones and I believe it's very solid. The sound is dramatically better, while keeping the remote/mic.
For 30$, it DOES the job. For sure, there are better earphones but they will be more expensive. For an iPhone/Pod user, I would definitely recommend this pair.
I personally don't think the bass are too strong. The sound has a lot of depth and the quality is great.
Definitely 5* for iPod/Phone users.
3.5* for others i would say.

- I have been using a lot this earphone. No decrease in quality. (Some tend to have a "clicking sound" after a while).
- No loss of sound due to the connector (well known issue for some earphone connectors... Bad contact after a while. So far, so good
I am very satisfied with this product! (I have had some sennheiser, sony and other earphones. They all broke after a couple months....)
