Rating EarPods headphones with Lightning-connector is two and a half stars out of five. They scolded and sound, and is not convenient for all forms, and the unreliability of the wires and connector. Therefore Layfhaker decided to find an alternative.

pros

The main external difference Dodocool DA-55G from EarPods is the form factor. Objectively plugs sit in the ear much better tablets, not least thanks to a very soft material nozzles and rubber rings on the headphone housing. Moderate insulating effect is obtained and, consequently, a more clean sound without external noise, as well as a much lower tendency to precipitation.

Minuses

As discussed above, remote from the headphones is quite big, but it's not a problem. The problem is its form. Remote Angles sometimes cling to the garment, and this causes a minor inconvenience.

The main problem for all wired headphones - wire it yourself, but rather a tendency to kink at the junction with the connector. In 3.5-millimeter model we solved the problem for a long time, making the plug L-shaped. Due to this construction, the profile of the connector becomes much less and the connection to the wire substantially does not undergo mechanical impact because directed towards.

In the case of Lightning situation worse. This connector itself significantly heavier and longer, because inside it is electronics. Wire it tougher than 3.5 mm. As a result, the junction when wearing a smartphone in your pocket jeans have a very strong impact on the bend. Just a couple of days of intensive use of the wire at the base showed the first signs of a break started. Who's to blame? We do not know.

Maybe the whole thing in a special tester negligence, because, judging by the reviews and ratings in the store, not a massive problem. Quite often there are situations when one person thing regularly serves many months, and the other breaks down almost immediately. In general, if you carry a smartphone so that the wire breaks even in 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, then perhaps you'd better look away Bluetooth.
