I had the Apple headphones to my iPhone 4S. I significantly used professionally. I do not always hear very well my interlocutors. The son semmĂȘlaient all the time when I put them in a pocket, even though wrapped. I went on this model resulted in blue, and there is great! Big difference from the earphones supplied with the phone. I can bring the listener much better in the ear canal, the sound is very focused and very audible. The sound quality and also very good. Micro ok, my interlocutors hear me well. I put the cable constantly in my pocket or in the small bag supplied. The braided wire is handy as the son hardly semmĂȘlent, while with the base model, it was just hell (I spent a lot of time to unravel). Only flat, it happens from time to time to have electrical sounds when the son rub on each other. But it is not systematic. No regrets.
