Hi Eden, You'll get mixed answers here because ear buds or headsets are one of these things which are a very personal item. Some people hate the Apple Ear pods whereas I like them a lot. There is of course a difference when it comes to what you want to use them for. If you want a high-end music listening experience then no ear buds will live up to a $200 or $300 full headset with full ear cups. But for making phone calls, listening to spoken audio or GPS information, I find that the Apple Ear pods work best for me. I have also heard people saying they don't like them because they are too big for their ears and don't stay in and once again that is not a problem for me. In fact, if I put them in correctly I can turn my head to the side and shake it like a dog and they won't come out. I also like the fact that I can just put in the right side a bit which gives me access to the remote control for picking up phone calls, playing/pausing audio or for use with Blindsquare and they block out very little external sound which is good when I am walking and have to listen to traffic. A lot of higher-end ear buds have foam to block out as much sound from the outside as possible so you can hear better whatever it is you are listening to, but of course for most blind people that is not very desirable.

I need earpods for my IPhone, what are the best ones? I have a 5. Are the Apple ones the best ones to use with your phone or do others work as well?
