For all this time, we’ve only heard praises about the free Earpods that come with the Apple iPhone. Even the recent redesign was met with applause.
We have personally criticized the Apple headphone for many reasons – the easily damaged cord, its lack of resistance to sweat and even its sound quality. However when compared to the many headsets bundled with Android phones, we would let the last one slide.
Well it looks like the new guy in charge of the Earpods isn’t scared to speak his mind. We’re talking about Jimmy Iovine who is the co-founder of Beats By Dre and ever since the acquisition, a permanent Apple employee.
He has said that the Earpods are “awful” and if, “you listen to ‘Apocalypse Now’ and a helicopter sounds like a mosquito.” What do you think of the earphones that come bundled with the iPhone?
