Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic Specifications, Tests and Review

The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic are wired headphones. In the case of studio and professional DJ headphones, a wired connection is a standard and a necessity. In this case, connecting via cable reduces audio transmission delays and prevents unwanted battery drain as it would be in case of wireless headphones. The same is de facto true for gaming headsets. In case of headphones for normal music listening, the cable is rather a relic, although it still has its fans. However, the wireless option is much more popular for everyday use in today’s world.

The headphones are designed as in-ear. In-ear headphones are plugged directly into the ear and they normally offer complete or at least partial isolation from surrounding noise. The degree of isolation also depends on whether the headphones have an ambient noise isolation function. Their indisputable advantage is that they are more compact than over-the-head headphones.

The sound quality can be affected by many factors. To control the optimum playback volume you can use the manual control directly on the cable.

The Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic has a microphone built directly on the cable.
