EarPods can be purchased separately or purchased with the purchase of an iPhone 5 phone. The gadget itself is sold without any devices, there is only a carrying case.
The price of headphones is only $ 29, so you should not demand too much from the gadget. The design is minimal, but beautiful, as you would expect from the manufacturer. The cover is uncomfortable and rarely used in life. In the store on the window, he creates an impression due to the effect, but nothing more.
Design
We continue to consider the original headphones. “IPhone 5” looks good with them, so the design should be given special attention in the review. The case is made of plastic, assembly at the highest level. There are no creaks, no backlashes, all the details are ideally fitted to each other. According to statements from the manufacturer, the design was created using special technologies, which will allow for additional wearing comfort. Unfortunately, there is a claim to the plastic construction. If it was rubberized, it would be better to fasten in the ears.
A control panel is built into the wire, allowing you to perform some manipulations. For example, adjust the volume, switch songs. A microphone is mounted in it.
Sound
Be sure to consider the sound that these headphones offer. “IPhone 5”, the price (the original is sold in any official store) for which is about 15 thousand rubles, is most often used with the EarPods model. The source always affects the sound quality, so consider all the nuances.
If you use headphones with a fifth iPhone, you will hear some buzz. You can get used to it, but it will take time. Low frequencies are spelled out perfectly. The detail is at an average level, but it is more likely the features of the model. The existing bell is a resonator. This allows the lower frequencies to stand out the most. At the same time, light tracks play well, heavy tracks “slow down” a little. Sometimes it seems that the bass is too much.
These headphones for iPhone 5 do not have outstanding treble. They did not differ in any special characteristics. Deaf, sharpness is practically absent. This can be attributed to the serious disadvantages of playback.
Mid frequencies sound good, although sometimes they lack naturalness. Sharpness, sibilants and whistles are not found, which pleases the owners against the background of all the shortcomings.
The stereo panorama has no volume, the instruments are poorly placed. Moreover, it is narrow and gives almost nothing when making settings. The attack shows itself on the good side, if you do not use it with the lower frequency segment.
In general, you can call the universal headphones on the "iPhone 5". The original gadget is noticeably different from a fake. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase it only at official points of sale. Comparing the reproduction of different tunes, it is difficult to identify genres that are too good or bad. Especially if you remember that the headphones are positioned as a device for the "iPhone 5".
Compatibility
As already clear, these headphones for "iPhone 5" are ideal. However, this model can be used with many devices from a completely different manufacturer. Before buying, you need to check the sound quality and evaluate all the possible characteristics.
Working together with the iPhone 5, the headphones show an excellent volume margin, stable operation and excellent response of existing keys.
Apple earphones
With the fifth iPhone, consumers previously opted to use the Earphones model. What is the difference between two headphones from the "apple"?
Of course, the first difference that catches your eye is design. Changed the appearance of cambric. In EarPods, they compress the cable much denser, which increases the durability of the gadget. Cambrices are also available near the console, which has become larger. In both models, it housed a microphone. Soundproofing EarPods is much better than the old model. Landing has also been changed. Customers pay attention to this after the first contact with the headphones.
And what about the sound? Earphones for the "iPhone 5" EarPods model "catch" the quality of reproduction of low frequencies, and a competing gadget - the middle and upper ranges. As a result, the latter has a bright and sonorous sound that does not have bass. In some places on the track, “dirt” may appear.
Comparing these two models, I must say that EarPods clearly wins. The design is much better, the details are better and more convenient, and the playback and sound in general have improved markedly.
Summary
These headphones for iPhone 5 are perfect for those who want to listen to high-quality music without spending too much money. The gadget, which costs about $ 30, showed an example of the right balance of quality and price. In the network of Russian stores you can find these headphones for 2500 rubles, which is not very expensive.
If we talk about using the device with other devices, players or various Chinese, American and so on smartphones, then this accessory is ideally combined with them. The sound is good, convenient to use, and the control panel facilitates all the manipulations. Consumers recommend the gadget to buy.
