The new earbuds are shaped in the form of horse heads instead of the typical earbud designs. There are no parts that are likely to come apart upon continuous use. They are much smaller in size and do not hurt when worn for longer time which was an issue with the previously released ear buds. The new ear phones follow a much more integrated design, a trademark feature of Apple products. The old earphones have a surface that looks detachable whereas the new one sports a smaller surface with no detachable element to it. The old earphones were manufactured in China with some of them made in Vietnam. However the new earphones are completely manufactured in Phax Co factory in Vietnam. “Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in Vietnam” is imprinted on the wires that confirm that the units are completely manufactured in Vietnam.
