I generally really like the Apple earpods and the design is fairly good in my ears. I am losing some low frequency hearing though and as a good bit of my job involves phone calls, I need to maximize my listening ability on said phone. Granted the best headset in the world isn’t going to make someone else’s crappy cell phone sound any better but at least I can try.
I’m considering buying a pair of the lightning earpods as I hear the base is fuller on them.
