I don't like the Apple earbuds. I always get an aftermarket pair. But I keep the Apple ones as backups at the office, home and in the truck. That way if my good ones aren't readily available, I'll have something I can use to talk hands-free when I need to.
I like them; when they get damaged (happens once a year) I just take exchange them for a working pair for free since I keep upgrading apple gadgets. Love the controls on them and don't like paying too much for earphones that I will use out & about.
They don't fit my ear. They just fall out, even with me not moving at all... 
I have a pair of Denon in-ears that I use instead. They are still not optimal (I really think I have odd shaped ears or something), but they are the best that I have tried.
I am not going to pay the money for the custom ones where an ear mold is taken.

I don't know if they've improved since the 1st gen iPhone, but when I had one I thought the sound was terrible. I thought it was the phone itself, but after I had sold it everybody said it was just the terrible earbuds that come with it.
I use mine for on the go,I like them cause I can still here what's going on around me and the mic and control buttons,If I don't want them to bleed or want better sound I switch to the Sennheiser HD428
LOL, i used those years ago. I also have some Creative buds like those which sound pretty decent for cheapies.

Don't really like the Original one as they don't fit in my ears. I have always a pair of Denon-InEar buds with me for the case that my favorite headset Motorola SD9 don't work well.
Think there horrible personally, any time i get a pair they go strait in the bin.
It's not just because the sound quality is absolutely crap, but I find the fit to be less comfortable than I like, plus I much prefer in ear headphones.

The Apple supplied buds with mic are better than most $15 or less Target or Best Buy selections. The mic is actually very decent.
Put foam covers on the earbuds and it will improve the sound and comfort by holding the buds in the sweet spot better. These covers can be bought on ebay for 15 cents each.

I use a pair of the Apple In-Ear aftermarket buds.
I bought them for the look, but the sound is so unremarkable and I feel that they should have used those buds as the default pack in headphones because they actually fit in your ear unlike of the current Apple earbuds.

I hate them. They don't fit right in my ears and they sound like crap. I use Klipsch Ones; they're fantastic.

Really enjoy using my apple earbuds w/ microphone. They are my "choice" earbuds. I have Klipsch S4i and Skullcandy's in ear w/ controls and just prefer the Apple ones for anything that doesn't need noise isolation. I find the Klipsch hard to use when talking on the phone as I cannot tell how loud I am talking.

I use monster turbine pro ear buds. The sound is amazing. I only use the apple earbuds for talking on the phone.

Like all of Beats customers then.
Beats Studio aren't actually that bad. Obviously they're bass heavy, but overall they aren't actually bad sounding. The problem is the price, which doesn't correspond to the sound quality on offer. In a lower price bracket they would actually be a decent product. Remember, they're made by a rapper, they're going to be better for a certain genre of music (as pretty much all headphones are, although maybe not to such an extent).

I hear Ludacris's Headphones are supposed to better than Beats by dre. The Beats by Dre definitely arent the best out there by any means.
I wonder how many more People are going to fall for & line the pockets of these Stars with money? There are Much better options out there, when it comes to headphones such as ones by Shure.
