Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic
Beautifully Done.
Written by TG from Minneapolis

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. …More2436 of 2904 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! …More1804 of 2255 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

Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic
great while it worked
Written by MS from Commack
Dec 15, 2009
I loved these earphones. They always worked great, sounded like they should for what you pay, and the mic was great for having an occasional laugh with friends over an app. However, one day the remote just broke. I never treated the device like garbage and I don't think I kept it in unfitting conditions, but somehow they still just stopped working one day. Now I have to get them fixed or move on, not really what I was hoping for. BTW, the earphones still work, but the mic and remote don't. …More

So bad, some words in my actual review cannot be published
Written by DC from Chandler
Dec 14, 2009
not sure why Apple hasn't figured it out - or doesn't care - that these buds are terrible for in-ear fit and therefore bad at sound quality, which make for a very frustrating experience. If the value proposition of a nano is a lightweight, workout iPod, then Apple should get with it and offer a better fitting ear bud to go along with it. Oy... …More

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
