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. …More2245 of 2677 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! …More1671 of 2087 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

Flimsy freebie
Written by RD from Atlanta

The playback is ok, and the earbuds don't bother me. The mic funciton is great for operating the phone, especially at the gym.
The remote is frustrating. In theory: squeeze once to pause, twice to advance on song. In practice: does not work. Squeezes are not read consistently, so that I will pause instead of advance or nothing will happen at all.
Cord is also sort for tall folks. The earbuds get pulled out easily, especially if turning my head far to once side or stretching. They will not reach my back pocket. …More4 of 8 people found this useful
