Coming from a person that naturally dislike all Apple product, the only thing that I hate to admit but I have to because they truly are the best everyday/throw it anywhere earbud, excellent for training, the sound, for what it is, is pretty excellent! I went through lot of annoying small earbud (samsung, monster200$, sennheiser80-100$, shure150$-200$) in-ear with the silicone crap and different sizes doesnt work for me, tried over 10 different sizes and material, especially for workout, its really a hassle finding the right earbud for training, very time consuming, and so many crap out there you get blinded and oversee whats right in front of you, after all those tryouts (over 2-3month), my friend wanted me to hear a music, and he had those latest apple earbud, and I was literaly hooked, honestly the Apple earbud (latest) is like a blend of traditional earbud and in-ear, fits the ear like a glove & sounds pretty darn amazing, I got rid of every in-ear and just got that apple earbud. The greatest buy I ever did with these in mind:
Simplicity
Great sound quality overall, awesome controlled bass
Everyday use
Cheap (30-40$?)
That's the only Apple product that I will keep give praise! It's the earbud that made me forget about all earbud ...
Just a thought , of course , that is simply my opinion.
