Review on Apple EarPods Lightning Connector White by Reg Lin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There is a big plus in them, but for me there is also a significant minus!

My husband's daughter lost her headphones from her iPhone and her husband (that is, her dad :))) decided to buy her new ones, at the same time he grabbed the second ones for me. The only option available at the time of purchase was only with a universal 3.5mm jack connector, that is, not an iPhone Lightning. In my case, this, in principle, was good, since then I used a Sony smartphone, it just has a jack connector, and a few months ago I moved to work for an iMac and a similar connector is also used there, and then my husband’s daughter just bought own adapter. Headphones are sold in a small box, packed compactly, neatly: What you immediately want to note as soon as you look at them and hold them in your hands is the quality! Amazingly high performance plastic! Also, a headset is built into these headphones: The microphone is like a microphone, you can talk, the quality of communication, to be honest, is average, but it depends on many factors. Joystick with a standard set of functions for managing tracks: "+" / "-" add or decrease the sound, if you press 1 time in the middle between "+" / "-" then a "pause" will work, to exit it, you must also press 1 time, if you want to switch the track, then in the same place in the middle you need to press, but with 2 clicks, return to the previous track - 3. In addition, there is another good function in the joystick - after you open the camera, when you press any button (even "+" or "-") - a picture is taken, very convenient! It only works on iPhone though. There is also a special clip (I honestly don’t know what it’s called), with which you can connect the wires of the left and right headphones: Although I'm wondering if anyone uses this part? :) Although fixing it somewhere in the middle, the headphones get less tangled About appearance. Well, here, of course, no questions asked, you can simply designate it as "space": Beautiful? Yes! Comfortable? ... I would argue ... or rather, of course, who cares. My ears start to ache terribly after an hour of wearing them, and when I take them out of my ears, I really feel a bursting pain! That is, at first, when you insert it, it’s wonderfully simple, comfortable, they sit very clearly, but after half an hour, the ear cartilage slowly begins to rise, rise, and after an hour (about of course) it’s all, I can’t stand it - I’m taking it off! Here the minus lies in the fact that they cannot be adjusted in volume, like in-ear headphones with replaceable ear cushions, since I usually put the smallest ones, my ears are small. These, of course, have a special shape for the auricle, they hold me tight enough, even if you shake your head, they won’t fly off! And it seems that from the anatomical side, the structure of the auricle is the same for everyone, then everyone still has their own characteristics (size, depth, thickness ...), I mean, for example, my husband doesn’t hold them at all! That is, he puts them, they stand, and if you turn your head a little, they fly off. I do not have that. For me personally, in terms of convenience, they lose a lot to my Sony bluetooth headphones: But where Sony is inferior is in sound! No, no, Sony's sound clarity is amazing, but EarPods can boast of their depth, volume and, most importantly, bass! Honestly, all your musical works that you are used to listening to in the same headphones (not Apple), especially for a long time, they will sound completely new to you in these headphones! It's not exactly the same when you change one simple headphones to another (of course, each sound state will be different), here, in general, even the texture of the sound is different! Here even I (not a special music lover) when I turned on the track said: "Wow!" Heaven and earth with the old versions of Apple headphones that I once had to use (which, by the way, were also terribly uncomfortable!) But this by no means means that they have no equal, of course there are, there are better, but each will have their own unique features. And of course, you need to take into account only high-quality recorded music. composition. And I also had one moment when my vestibular apparatus did not respond very adequately to the sound of these headphones (this is of course individual, so the chance that someone will experience a similar resonance is small). Nevertheless, I will outline the situation... I do not go in for sports all the time, but I am regularly visited by bouts of fitness (I work out actively for several months, then I quit for a few, I cannot find permanent harmony). I don't go to the gym, I have everything I need at home. Often I turn on a track using my Sony bluetooth headphones. But when the Apple EarPods data appeared, I wanted to use them during classes (more precisely, just running) on the step platform, I turned it on not only loudly, but very loudly, at first the track played in a fairly calm rhythm, everything was fine, but it was followed by a very dynamic musical composition with pronounced percussive effects, and as soon as the bass hit sharply, I realized that I was falling! I'm falling on the floor! That is, it was not a loss of consciousness, I was conscious, there was no dizziness in its usual state! There was a panic "What is happening to me?”, honestly, it was even in my thoughts - "have you had a heart attack?”, such an unusual and unexpected effect! It’s just that the bass hit sharply in the headphones and at the same second something happened in my head and led me - loss of balance - fall (I don’t even know what to compare with ...) Perhaps this is due to my physiological characteristics - I have been born with low blood pressure, for a long time I was diagnosed with intracranial pressure, I suffer from frequent headaches, sometimes migraines, and during physical. loads, after all, active blood circulation is already going on, that is, pressure and heart rate increase, this is already an imbalance for my usual state, and then there is also an external strong irritant and as a result there was a shift. In general, it turned out for a long time in history, but nevertheless I wanted to share what effect these headphones provoked. Now I am afraid to use them during training, and indeed any headphones, to be honest, although this was not even close before. Therefore, only while walking, and then if not loudly and not for a long time ... but for a long time and I can’t because of the reason described above, the cartilage of the ears begins to break. but nevertheless I wanted to share about what effect these headphones provoked.

Nevertheless, I can not deny myself the pleasure of listening to music in these headphones :) And recently, when I got an iPhone, I added another copy that came with the kit, but with a native Lightning connector. Headphones are completely similar - shape, sound, wire, headset, only different connectors: And, by the way, about the sound. I read that they sound different on different devices, that they are good only with Apple, well, I don’t know, I didn’t feel the difference between what I listened to in the Sony Xperia and what is now in the iPhone. I also use them now on a Mac and before that in an Asus ROG laptop, everything is fine too, the sound is the same. Can't say anything about other options... If you buy them as an individual accessory, then the price is different, in MVideo each 2490, but in Cstore with a native Lightning connector the price is 2999 rubles, and with a mini-Jack connector (3.5mm) as much as 3299 rubles ... On Wildberries you can catch the most attractive price. Now they make a lot of all sorts of replicas for Apple and other popular brands, but still there are tags that allow you to think that you have an original in front of you, on headphones from this manufacturer you will definitely find the model name and serial number on the cord closer to the connector: How much do I rate them? For myself - 4! I do not take into account that my single "spectacular" case, I lower the rating only because my ears hurt from them! Pros: great sound! sit tight! overall product quality.
