NOT WORKOUT COMPATIBLE

Yes, indeed, I was stupid enough to workout with these, and suddenly my ipod touch 2G won't play properly with them attached, it p…Read morelays-pauses-advances to the next tune repeatedly... and randomly. :( How about a spoiler on the box, Apple? One short phrase explaining that the remote isn't sweat resistant would be nice. X-(
Otherwise I am happy with sound, and the mic records quite well using the voice memo app in OS 3.0

My parents bought me these headphones to replace the ones that had come with my 2nd generation ipod touch, witch had been stolen. …Read moreThese headphones are wayyy better. The remote works perfectly, and the mic is very clear, even when there is ambeint noise. And, these are cheaper. At futureshop these same headphones, without the remote and mic, sell for 40$! I highly reccomend these!!!!!! The sound from the headphones are very clear, and beautiful!

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 mu…Read moresic 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.(1494 of 1749 people found this review useful)

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!(1107 of 1359 people found this review useful)

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.
