I just wonder, who else never bothered to unpack their original Apple headphones that came with their iPhone, iPod etc.?
Mine are always brand new waiting to be sold when I trade up my phone.

The current style earphone fall out of my eyes,,,,,,,
Put them on your ears. They don't fall as much.
Here's a pic of how it looks when you wear it.
I disagree. In-ear much more comfortable to me due to weight and size
Am I the only one here who doesn't like ear buds? I have to use actual oldschool headphones because the buds make my ears hurt.
Nope, illogical. Can't just skip 5. Most users are clueless to the number of models in existence, but they expect 5 to come after 4....not 6.
If apple sends C&D letters then it proves the legitimacy of the Leak. Not saying anything at all makes it more mysterious as to what the product is...
At least the previous earbuds have rubbering on them. Never found them that discomforting as many have said.
But these look like they would hurt after 3 songs...
I'm pretty sure that if those were made by Apple, they'd use either Myriad Pro or VAG Rounded for the L/R typography.
Why would they use a new font?
I call fake. This must be one of the many Chinese knockoffs available pretty much anywhere.
EDIT: Judge by yourself:
Image
The font used looks like Klavika or Deria Sans, fonts which Apple has never used anywhere.
EDIT 2: Just looked up current Apple earbuds. They don't use one of the usual apple fonts for the R/L signs either. It seems to be the same font as the one in this leak. You can ignore all this. Those may be real, sadly.

I bet these will be crap, just like their predecessors.
Why?
Because if you have good earphones, you'll quickly learn to recognize how horrendous the quality of music is that you get off the iTunes store. I'm not talking about some audiophile "zomg my headphones increase instrument separation" stuff here, I'm talking about honest to god quality difference that you can blind A/B test and get the same answer every time.
I used to use Apple earphones. I used to believe that Apple somehow knew what they were doing in the audio department (they haven't, since they stopped using quality DACs in their equipment). After I somehow burned out 5 pairs of Apple earphones (never exceeding 50% volume in iOS), I decided that enough was enough and splurged on a pair of Shure SE535s.
Suddenly, all my music is new again- like nothing I've ever heard before. Listening to music is enjoyable, not just something you do to block out ambient noise. Everything is so clear you can close your eyes and just let yourself get submerged in the music, as if you're there in the studio while they're mastering it.
And you quickly learn to recognize which tracks are ripped as lossless (using ALAC or FLAC), and which tracks are downloaded from the internet off the iTunes Store. The CD rips sound fantastic, the downloaded stuff sounds like ass.
With proper earphones, I've actually gone back to going out of my way to buy and rip CDs. I avoid digital downloads because the quality is absolutely horrendous.
But you don't notice this unless you've got good earphones...
Which makes me wonder why Apple would bother producing anything better then their predecessor units. If your headphones suck, then there's no difference between FLAC and MP3/MP4 because the headphone drivers can't reproduce the level of quality for you to notice it. This makes me think that these new headphones will suck on purpose, otherwise people might pick up on the fact that the iTunes store is selling lossy garbage- and that'd make Apple look bad.

They skipped Xboxes 2-359. Skipping 5 is nothing compared to that....

Wow, it's going to make my hair look a lot thicker with less grey!
Nothing beat in-ear for ear damage.Interesting.. though nothing beats in-ear for quality.

In 5 months Samsung's earbuds will look exactly the same.
I don't like earbuds at all, at least not these kind. The "earplug" type ones are best. They keep external sound out, give good bass, and actually don't cause extreme pain to my ears. The downside is that you'd better keep your ears wax-free, or you'll have a nasty pair of earbuds. Sadly, the earplug earbuds I got from a Canada Air flight are better than everything else I've tried, including those expensive Apple ones.
I use over-the-ear whenever possible. Of course, not Beats by Dr Dre, not Beats by Billy Mays, but Sony headphones. Great quality, relatively low price, no extra cost for branding.

They hurt when I started using them with my first Gameboy, and still hurt now when I occasionally use them with my iPhone/iPad.
