iPhone 5 Earphones

Marky · 26 Oct 2012 at 12:57

Hey all,

I just noticed with the earphones I got with my iPhone 5 music won't pause and play when pressing the middle button on the volume control, or skip with a double tap...

Could someone test theirs for me to confirm this is right or whether I have a faulty pair?

Thanks!

Mine works fine. Although I have noticed that I cant press and hold the middle button for siri, I'm sure i could do that with the 4/4S... ?

Yours sound broken. However, I replaced mine with the Sennheiser MM 30i, they actually stay in my ears.

I tried them and they sound terrible (but still better than original ear buds) and fall out my ears

Why wouldn't anyone get some £20 Sennheiser CX300s over these?

Earphones bundled in with products tend to be crap, although better than the previous Apple earphones.. still no match for a pair of SoundMAGIC E10's or the CX300's.

What are the earphones like with the iPhone? Does anyone know of any decent comprehensive reviews?

They should be though!

Buying a £540 phone (or even more) should come with half decent headphones. Certainly not ones that are half the quality of some you can buy for £20. Plus they are sold on the Apple website for £25

They sound fine, they just don't fit my ears. It's impossible to bundle earphones that fit everyone, I'm sure there are people for who Sennheiser buds are useless for them.

They have different sizes of buds for Sennheiser, why not do the same for Apple earphones

Make sure the earphone are plugged all the way in. This happened to me and i found they just wasn't plugged in properly, after a bit of force they worked and still do work perfectly.

Hope this helped!
