The current version "Ear Pods" arent 4 years old. They are 2 years old. And they are a huge improvement over the original.

Earskins for the win!
I agree. The Ear Pods are a big improvement over the old earphones. They actually sound better than my go-to cheapie IEMs (Brainwavz Beta). I used the Ear Pods first time last week (broke my Betas again) and I was surprised at how good they sounded. Gonna have to try the EarSkinz. :)
 
I mean c'mon, with the recent news of Apple acquiring Beats, you would think they would at least change these crappy 4 year old ear-buds into something better. The current version of ear-buds hurt my ears (as they do other people, too).

Also... STILL NO COLOR OPTION FOR THEM???

I'm sick of having an all black phone, with white cables supplied by Apple.

:mad:

They're actually only 2 years old.
 
Change your thread title. There is no issue with the ear pods on the new iPhone because clearly you don't yet have them.
 
The current earbuds are fantastic for normal use. They have good deep bass and don't sound tinny at all. Why replace them? They want you to buy Beats.

Right. I use my stock iphone5 headphones everyday. Also why would you want some over priced, dull sounding Beats headphones anyway.
 
I have always just accepted the fact that earphones shipping with the iPhone are going to be garbage. I would almost prefer they don't box them alongside them.

I preferred the old model for the gym. The new model just doesn't work for me. I basically used them until they fell apart (maybe half a year) and then went back to something else cheap.
