Довольно продолжительное время компанию Apple criticized for the lack of bundled iPod and iPhone of really high-quality headphones. Devices for listening to music, which complemented the branded gadgets, did not go to any comparison with models of the average level from European brands. This state of affairs could not suit the largest manufacturer of mobile devices. The result of Apple's efforts was the appearance of sound insets with a good sound and original design. To date EarPods earphones, the photos of which are presented below, are popular not only among fans of Apple products, but also are in demand as a separate device, separate from the main "apple" device.
Компании удалось реализовать несколько significant and non-standard solutions, but the internal filling in general corresponds to competitors in the class. It can not be said that the headset is a template product or a copy of one of the successful German versions, but its indicators are by no means outstanding. That, however, does not prevent to enjoy the advantages that headphones EarPods possess. The characteristics of the model are as follows:
The original approach to the development of headphones is visiblealready at the first glance at them. The model has a drop-shaped shape and two open grids of the dynamics on each side. As noted in Apple, this is the optimal form that best matches the human ear. And this is confirmed by the users themselves. In addition, earphones EarPods are characterized by non-standard implementation of management tools. In comparison with the designs of models from the middle segment of the headphones-inserts, the headset received a remote control in an extended version.
The material of manufacture was plastic.I must say that, despite the premium nature of the company-creator, the model is still inexpensive, and it is clear that there has been no special investment in it. Of course, compared with a thorough approach to developing mobile gadgets. Therefore EarPods headphones can be considered as a new technological step exclusively in terms of design.
The model became almost the first in the lineA company that was able to confidently maintain low frequencies. Users even note pleasant vibrations in the process of sound broadcasting. However, in the high frequency spectrum, developers overdid, eventually making it too saturated. Perhaps there are many fans who will appreciate this decision, but it's not easy to listen to dynamic songs with such settings. EarPods headphones can not cope with the processing of heavy music. In the process of sounding, "porridge" is formed, from which it is difficult to distinguish not only the subtleties of the vocals and other nuances, but also to feel the whole composition as a whole. However, with the bass the situation is slightly better - in any case, the model guarantees the clarity and completeness. Even better things are with rock music, where all the main advantages of EarPods are revealed. In particular, guitar parts are well reproduced, the vocal is divided into two channels, and the drummer's efforts are not smeared. By and large, you should not consider this model specifically for listening to your favorite tracks. Its advantages are revealed in the ways of management and stylish design - that is, as an attractive and functional headset, this model is more interesting.
Still EarPods are not just headphones, butfull headset, which is endowed with a wide range of tools for working with a mobile device. Although the controls are not so many, but they are there. So, the console of the model is equipped with four components - a microphone jack, two volume controls and a central button, through which the basic control of earphones EarPods when working with music or calls. So, to start playing a music track or video, you should click this button once. If you want to rewind a track or select another track, you must double-click or triple-click, depending on the operation. Also, the type of action determines the need to hold the key after performing a series of clicks. Help in working with headphones is provided by the voice assistant Siri. He can be given various commands and ask questions without resorting to the use of menus in the mobile device.
Любые наушники по мере эксплуатации следует clean. If there are no difficulties with the body and external plastic surfaces, then the speaker grids require a special approach. So, in answer to the question about how to clean earphones EarPods, you should consider hard-to-reach places in the form of niches with metal grilles. In operation it is necessary to use cotton buds for ears, toothpicks and hydrogen peroxide, which will spoil the dirt and help to easily clean the reticulums. The end of the cotton swab is wetted in the solution, after which the surface of the speaker is also wiped by it. If necessary, use a sharp toothpick to gently press the mesh cells. When all the surfaces are processed, you can moisten the sticks in ordinary water and gently wipe the working surfaces of the headphones.
Процедура разборки делится на две части, Providing work with a remote control and enclosures with speakers. In the first case, the problem is simplified by using a mediator. With this device, you can open the plastic cover and get to the microphone and associated microcircuits. Next comes the answer to the question of how to disassemble EarPods headphones at the speaker locations. That is, we are talking about "drops". Unfortunately, there are no latches in the cases, so you'll have to cut the headphones over the traditional connection line. To do this it is desirable with the help of tweezers or sharp blade. Having disassembled the device, you can find a fairly simple stuffing, including a voice coil, a membrane and a magnet. It is difficult to say how reliable these elements are, but, as practice shows, EarPods' longevity is high. Collect the device with adhesive.
Модель вызывает противоречивые отзывы users. So, in positive responses strength, endurance and high functionality of the headset are noted. The company still made a noticeable leap in terms of design, and also implemented a convenient control system, which made EarPods earphones ergonomic. Reviews with negative shades mainly affect the absence of noise insulation. Strange as it may seem, this model loses even to many budget headphones. If at home with this defect you can reconcile, then on the street all the merits of sounding are reduced to zero.
Evaluating the headset from Apple, still not worth itforget that the headphones are not the main specialization of the company. Nowadays the market of technological gadgets is clearly segmented and the best results are shown by manufacturers occupying narrow niches. Therefore EarPods headphones should be considered as an additional accessory, endowed with average operational capabilities. However, one can not ignore the Apple's proprietary developments, which, in fact, distinguish models even among giants in the market of headphones. First of all it is design. The shape and overall style of the headphones are organically combined with the nature of the company's mobile devices. Another advantage is the multifunctional control system, which increases the usability of the device and makes it more ergonomic.
