I really have no idea what they can offer that the apple earpods cant.
ahhhh this
kung first time at first gear mo ang earpods then there's a lot more you are missing.
earpods are an improvement already over the old stock iphone/ipod earphones. night and day yung difference. get a KZ ATE first. mura lang naman. differentiate mo sa earpods. which sounds clearer? has more vocals or guitar definition? bass separation? learn to listen critically between them.
tapos get a balanced armature in ear either from shure, ultimate ears, . compare again
last mo na flipears because there's no turning back back nag custom in ear ka na. great comfort (kung maganda yung pagkafit sa yo), great clarity (syempre multidriver balanced armature) and great isolation (perfect for drums!). maseseparate mo yung tunog ng acoustic drums dun sa sinasabayan mo na music kaya mas rinig mo yung mga mali mo.
may ultimate pa, the grand daddy of custom in ears: jhaudio if you won the lotto
