Beautifully Done.

This product is great and I think everyone who has an iPod Touch 2nd gen should get one of these. It allows you to control your music so much more easily. Instead of having to double click the home screen and then hitting the pause button you can just click the remote on your earbuds. So MUCH easier when your iPod is locked.
Well and then its awesome to be able to record stuff and you skype and other voip apps on your ipod. Its nearly like having an iPhone except with no monthly fee. …More2391 of 2850 people found this useful

iPod Headphone with Mic and Remote

I bought these to replace my lost original set for my iPod Touch 2g. I found the sound quality for recording is excellent considering the size of the microphone.
I use iTalk to record and iTalk Sync for Windows to upload my recordings to desktop. It recorded kids running at the above appartment better then my Logitech headset with mic on my laptop.
I love the volume control and song Next/Previous when I walk the dog. I don't have to keep reaching for my iPod.
A good buy! …More1772 of 2215 people found this useful

A great piece of technology!
Written by JE from Trumbull

This product is very useful to have. I am using it for the ipod touch(2nd Gen)The microphone is great and picks up all kinds of sounds. You just have to remember not to put your finger over it! This mic allows you to use many applications. The remote controls are great and easier to use than the touch screen. My only dislike is that sometimes you have to twist the input certain ways to get the remote control and mic to work. If you have an ipod touch(2nd gen) and the mic and remote don't work at first, don't worry. Just keep twisting the headphones in. …More

Don't last long & Poor sound
Written by AJ from Prague 4

I bought these thinking because they have the apple stamp, they are bound to be good (at least).
Started falling apart only after a few weeks, completely stopped working after 5.5 months
The sound is below average too and for the price not good value at all.
Stay well away …More2 of 4 people found this useful

Better than average phones - read the bonus info ;)

It really depends what you are looking for. These phones are not HiFi but for the price I think it's a good deal. The design is Apple all the way and the build quality is ok. Think they have started using better rubber, had the version from the first iPhone and they are lost all rubber and broke at the mic, these new ones seems more sturdy.
So one star build, one for sound, one for design and the last for price.
Easteregg: You can use them the new unibody Macbook and Macbook Pros to control iTunes playback and for talking in iChat. …More3 of 3 people found this useful

Earbuds for 3GS
Written by TS from SHOW LOW
2/12/2009
These are terrific earbuds, except......
The sound is good, the fit is good, the remote buttons work flawlessly, but they simply don't last. I wear my iPhone for about 15 hours a day and the earbuds last for a month or so. Typically one earpiece starts sounding distorted or quits altogether. Good thing I bought the Apple Care Extended Plan as Apple happily sends me a new set overnight FedEx every time they go bad. When they work, they work great, but they just don't work for long. If it weren't for the fact that Apple replaces them instantly, I would rate them far lower. …More25 of 30 people found this useful

Will these work to use skype on ipod touch 2 gen
- Asked by VA from Florissant
- 12/10/2009
Best Answer
My guess is Yes! Apps that need voice in them such as voice memos and in your case, "Skype", are made for the built in mic or the external mic that you would find on this head set. The voice apps like Skype are partly made for mics. To round it up yes you can use this particular headset for Skype and other related apps.
P.S:
If you are unsure on whether or not the Earphones/Remote/Mic will work on some apps, just check on the requirements that are located on the right hand side down the bottom of every app on the App Store. …More- Answered by JT from Gosford
