Neal, the earpods that came with my iPhone 5 did not have the microphone problem you are describing but they were defective in that the volume down button on them had no impact when depressing it. I took them back to the Apple Store and exchanged them for a new pair which have worked flawlessly. So, it seems likely that you've gotten a bad set that need returning.
Good luck.

They are the strangest things I have ever seen. But, to the point. If I record something on the internal microphone and then something with the microphone on the earPods, the volume on the Pods is way way down, even if I hold the microphone right up by my mouth. I have to imagine that this is a problem with the microphone on the pods, but I'm not sure. Does anyone else have this problem. I realize that if they are hanging down on your neck and are blocked by clothing, etc. their volume would be low, but that's not how I am using them. Do people think what I am reporting is normal?
