Apple should have thought of this.
Written by AG from London

Right, first off, I want to say how much of a standard set of earphones these are, once you use them out of the box. It's just so …Read moreSTANDARD.
Then, the SECRET. Apparently, all you need to do is get some of the foams and voilà! Earphones that sound better than those entry-level in-ear types (CX300 EP-630 etc).
Apparently, what I found out was that when you put them in your ear, the ear phones do not transmit all the power. But with foam, it acts as a cushion, helps the earphones stay in the ear, and increases the quality of the sound/bass/treble by at least 300%.
I'm using Plantronics ear foams with them now and I'm not coming back. You can order differently coloured ones over the usual auction sites. :)
Most of all, it makes wearing them VERY COMFORTABLE. A must for those who listen at length.
I hope this was helpful guys.(46 of 65 people found this review useful)

These a AWFUL headphones, a complete wast of time for anybody who is active. you cant run with them in your ears as they just work…Read more their way loose and they certainly are not sweat resistant. I have the new speaking shuffle I brought it for the gym but because of the lack of compatible and reasonably priced headphones for the new shuffle I wish I kept to the old style, the no controls on the new shuffle is a waste of time as with out these terrible headphones renders it practically useless!
I have been a fan of apple and there designs for as long as I can remember but these headphones are just not fit for purpose!(34 of 63 people found this review useful)

Good, but could have a longer cord.

The earphones are sensitive, and the remote is a great idea. I have been waiting for these to be available for ages. I use them …Read morewith my 2nd gen iPod touch and they are good. The reason that I bought these was to have my ipod in my bag, but still be able to change the music. The reason that I have not given these five stars is that they do not have much length in them, and they do not work with my earphone extenders. On their own they do not have much slack in the cord. If they came with or even sold these extenders then I would give five stars.
