I knew I had gotten used to my Apple Earpods when I was listening to music with a pair of regular headphones, went to adjust the volume, and remembered that the headphones were not the EarPods. When I got my first iPhone several years ago, I threw the earbuds away, not knowing what they were and not caring. Then about 6 months later I realized what I had done and was sorry. I got a pair of new EarPods with my recent iPhone 6 purchase, and have put them in a drawer for when the current ones bite the dutst. It doesn't happen very often, but I've had to make the trip to an Apple Store at least once to get a replacement before.
