Can you use EarPods with an iphone 3 and are they any good?

I'm thinking of getting the iPhone earpods which came out not so long ago but have only seen them advertised as iPhone 5 compatible. They have the same input thing so I'm not sure why they wouldn't work with the iPhone 3.

If I did get some of the earpods then are they good? My earphones are constantly falling out of my ears and are so uncomfortable and I have heard these earpod things just fit in your ear perfectly.

As long as they are 1/8" jacks then they should be compatible with almost everything that uses the 1/8" like most phones, computers, head units, PSPs, Nintendo DS's
