the remote and mic is great, it saves you going in your pocket to get your ipod out just to change the song and the sound is just the same as the normal one's but for the same price you gain the remote and mic and i think it's brilliant …More

It is a great earphone using with my iTouch (2nd gen). Simple controls, more comfortable materials (less plastic feeling) and the same sound quality and for the SAME PRICE as before! The only thing: U need to be careful not to press the play button (no lock on it). I can just recommend it! …More

Good, but could have a longer cord.
Written by HL from Oxford

The earphones are sensitive, and the remote is a great idea. I have been waiting for these to be available for ages. I use them with my 2nd gen iPod touch and they are good. The reason that I bought these was to have my ipod in my bag, but still be able to change the music. The reason that I have not given these five stars is that they do not have much length in them, and they do not work with my earphone extenders. On their own they do not have much slack in the cord. If they came with or even sold these extenders then I would give five stars. …More

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 …More11 of 20 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. …More6 of 9 people found this useful
