Do You Use Apple Earbuds?

8:00AM March 12, 2009 | Sean Fallon

The release of the new shuffle with the controls set on the headphones has sparked a debate about Apple earbuds vs third party products.


Naturally, there have been plenty of concerns about this development—and Apple has responded by saying that they will offer an adaptor for third party headphones (yet another thing to buy). So, I thought that this would be a good opportunity to ask a point blank question: do you use Apple earbuds?

    Nope, mine are unused. Sennheiser CX-300 for me :)

    I hate when people use these, they leak sound to everyone within a 10m radius. Particularly annoying on the train.

    I wouldn’t have bought the Shuffle anyway, but I hope this doesn’t affect the rest of the iPod lineup.

    You can guarantee on public transport that if you can hear someone else music, they’re using the Apple Airbuds.

    Personally I use the Razer Morays.

    Shure e5c. pure sickness. They should sell ipods without earbuds. They would then have more ‘green’ cred by not producing worthless crap.

    Sony MDR-EX32 which I reckon are superb for the price :D. I downgraded from MDR-EX85, which wasnt really that brilliant anyway and is a bit expensive
