Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic
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. …More2244 of 2675 people found this useful

iPod Headphone with Mic and Remote
Written by AG from Kingston

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 2086 people found this useful

Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic
A great piece of technology!
Written by JE from Trumbull
Jan 7, 2009
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
Nov 6, 2009
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. …More2 of 5 people found this useful

Will these work to use skype on ipod touch 2 gen
- Asked by VA from Florissant
- Oct 11, 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
