This confused me too, but the quality of the headphones that come with Apple's products is not reputed to be great either. (I can't say whether this is true. Hearsay at best.)
EarPods are quite decent and the design is very ingenious.
However, the response is pretty neutral. I'd imagine the Beats acquisition is probably at least in part to make better headphones. I don't know if Beats' streaming licenses are transferrable.

The old Apple headphones were average (for their price), but overall the newer EarPods are much, much better.
