I have a pair of earpods and when I connect them to my MacBook the sounds is more bass-y that it should.. The fun fact is that if I don't plug the mini jack completely into the port the sound is 'as it should be'! But when I put the plug correctly for 1 second the sound is ok an then it turns to very bass-y again… I presume that something is wrong with configuration or something?! When I plug it into my iphone is the same effect.. Anybody knows what's the problem??

It sounds like you don't have your sound input configured correctly. Have you tried going into System Preference > Sound and changing the Output device?
Another (easier) option is to Option ⌥ -click the sound menulet in the menubar, which will bring up an Input/Output device selection menu (10.6 and later).
Some how my software had panned the audio to the right channel only.
God only knows why my machine decided to pan itself fully to the right!?
Anyway, if you think you need a repair, double check it's not software as I found on the Apple discussions.

Sounds like you have bad EarPods. Take them back to the store where you purchased them if they are new.
