Advantages: Good sound quality to start off.

Disadvantages: They break very easily, and pretty expensive

I don't really like Apple's iPod earphones. Yes, when you get them shiny new out of the packet when you first buy your iPod they are great. The sound quality is pretty impressive I must admit, but soon after having them, they start to wear and tear pretty rapidly. The first thing to go I found is the coloration, they start to become increasingly off white, fair enough, I could clean them, but I wish Apple offered some black headphones to match black iPods and iPhones.
The also start to wear and tear around jack connection, the little rubber tube starts to tear and the wires become visible.
Another thing, the actual ear piece can also suffer, I've had a pair where one of the earphones fell to bits, no apparent reason. It was replaced by Apple, albeit rather reluctantly. However, with my new pair after about 3 months of use they started to rattle in the ear. I think the average life span is about 3 months! And and £20 a pop, they are pretty expensive to replace.
I'd recommend using the ones supplied with your iPod/iPhone, but as soon as they break -which they will, replace them with a superior model/brand. There are much better earphones out there.

Summary: I wouldn't buy these again.
