The $15 Amazon Premium headphones ( [ Ссылка ] ) compared to the Apple EarPods / Earbuds (retail for $30, but can be purchased for $15 from Amazon [ Ссылка ] ).

Long story short, I prefer the Apple earbuds over the Amazon Premium headphones? This is solely because I prefer the fit of the Apples over the Amazons -- they feel like they stay in my ears much better and are more comfortable during extended use.

That said, the Amazon headphones have some GREAT features that Apple should pay attention to. First of all, the Amazons tangle less thanks to magnetized earbuds that stick to one another and a tangle-free cord. Secondly, they look at lot better than the glossy white Apple design which feels aged at this point. Thirdly, the tapered connector on the Amazon headphones means my phones slides into and out of my pocket very easily there the Apple design has a sharp edge that gets caught.

My big problem with the Amazon Premium headphones, aside from the fit, is that the volume control does not work with all products, including the iPhone! So I can play/pause my iPhone but I can't control the volume with it. The microphone works with the iPhone and I recorded the first have of this video with it. Lastly, I don't like that the inline controls are in the middle, where the left and right sides split. This means you never know which headphones is right and which is left without looking at them. On the Apple earbuds, the volume control is on the right so each side is easy to recognize.
