In-ear headphones with a subwoofer and tweeter driver for only $79? That’s a ridiculously low price, but are they any good? We’ll have to wait and see. The new headphones from Apple come with three sets of silicone ear cups and a built-in mic and volume controls. New fangled steel mesh caps protect the internals and they’re also removable for cleaning.
The $29 buds are the same except for the new added mic and volume controls.
Frequency response: 5Hz to 21kHz
5 Hz? Can’t hear it buy may be able to feel it.
21 kHz? Who let the dogs out? woof woof
Hell, spend $20 more and buy either the Sony ones (GREAT bass response) or the Bose ones (best sound I’ve heard for earbuds less than $250). C’mon, Apple, you don’t need to dominate every market, ’cause in cases like this, you’ll be stretching yourself too thin.
Please refer to this because the Sony and Bose in-ears are horrible.
BLUETOOTH!!!!
I think the real question is…do these work with the iPhone? The mic and control, that is…if they do, I’m ordering tomorrow :)
The mic works with the current iPhones.
Do they come in black? their is no way I’m wearing white headphones in London, I might as well wear a t-shirt that says “Please mug me, I have a new iPod”
The Apple www site doesn’t list the iPhone as being compatible with these new headphones. Just the 3 new iPods.
(2nd attempt at posting this. 1st attempt disappeared? Sorry if duplicates eventually show up!)
According to the product page at the Apple www site, these headphones are only compatible with the new iPods. iPhone is not listed.
