Apple Stock Headphones Review

I just bought an Ipod Nano 6G. The stock white apple earbuds blew. I have had other earbuds for my previous mp3 players and they blew as well. I wanted a natural sounding set of headphones. The over the ear headphones from Bose and Sennheiser sounded great but just were not portable enough and were also cost prohibitive for me. I bought the Klipsch Image S4 in ear buds and also sounded great but were kind of a pain to put in because if they weren't in just right, the sound was bad, could easily fall out if snagged, and were $. I was worried that these PortaPros would feel uncomfortable on my ears since they are an on ear design. I have a big melon on my shoulders. Def look retro but don't care much about that. The treat is in the sound; it's ear candy and a pleasure to listen to any music with these. Sound all the way up and no distortion at all while your ear drums are thumping out of your skull. What a great deal; for forty dollars you get a set of fantastic headphones that can compete with the sound of Bose QC3 for 1/5th the price and a lifetime no questions asked product warranty. I have only had them for a week, so can't speak to the durability but i'm not too worried.I find the cord plenty long enough, it's slightly longer than apple's earbuds about 4 feet. They fit comfortably on my head without putting pressure on my ears because of the temple pads and the pressure adjustment switches. After 4 hours listening, they still felt comfortable.You won't want to go back to the inferior sound of the stock earphones after you listen to music with these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product. Much better than the stock headphones that came with my iPhone. Easy to use and the rubber ear tips ensure a snug fit.

Product was in stock and shipped immediately. Price was the same or less than apple.

One of the best wireless headphones. I've got the apple EarPods and these are way better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great alternative to Apple's headphones. They stay in the ear and great sound for the price. Easy to use controls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve usually only ever used apple headphones and was skeptical of using a different brand but this definitely proved me wrong. The audio is so crisp and clear. I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the audio and the headphones. I was concerned about the shape of the headphones and them fitting in my ear but they passed the running test without falling! Definitely my new everyday headphones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review it. Honestly, it works great for its intended purpose. I was able to charge my phone and connect Lightning headphones at the same time. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality between plugging the headphones into this product or plugging them straight into my iPhone. They also work perfectly with the 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter provided by Apple with my phone. The RockStar feels sturdy and uses Apple's signature look well. If it weren't for the Belkin logo on the Lightning plug, this could easily have been mistaken for something made by Apple. It also couldn't be simpler to use. Plug it into the iPhone and plug your headphones and power cord into either available port. There are only two things I could think of to make this product better. First would have been to have one port be a 3.5 mm jack. I only have the one pair of lightning headphones Apple provided and the adapter. I have a pile of old headphones though. My second thought would have been, if you have two Lightning ports on the adapter, let it be used to plug in two sets of headphones to act as a splitter. This may be a limitation set by Apple and not the product itself, but it would add a level of use to the RockStar. If you use Lightning headphones or 3.5 mm headphones with a Lightning adapter, this is a great product to be able to listen to music while you charge your phone. Personally, I use Bluetooth about 99.9% of the time, but I'm glad I have this product for those times I can't.

I was reluctant to spend the money for these headphones but decided to go ahead because it would easily function with all my apple products. I'm very happy that I made this choice as the performance exceeded my expectations. They work great within the Apple system as they automatically connect to my Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. The noise canceling is fantastic and allows the sound quality to be enjoyed even on subways and trains. Beware, the sound is so good you can miss a stop if you're not paying attention.

these are very comfortable and improve the sound of the headphones, and they last a lot longer than the stock earpads.

Excellent quality headphones. Way better than Apple headphones and costs significantly less,
