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. …More2314 of 2756 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! …More1722 of 2145 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

ZERO STARS (I only put 1 star because Apple forces you to enter something!)
Written by AW from Linden
Nov 20, 2009
I agree with the post Written by SN from Kilauea on Nov 18, 2009. I am also a runner, and the Apple ear buds the come with the Ipod Touch have failed me twice while I was running. I took my original pair to an Apple Store a few weeks ago because the music kept jumping around and the Voice Control kept interrupting and turning on and off. I was told that the problem was with the ear bud and Apple gave me a replacement pair. Well, I'm going back again to get another pair because the same thing happened again. I see no reason why Apple cannot package a sturdier pair of ear buds with the Ipod Touch. …More

Love the concept, hate the quality
Written by SN from Kilauea
Nov 18, 2009
Within 4 weeks of using my earphones the remote and mic stopped working. Apple replaced them with no hassle, but now my second set has the same problem after just 3 weeks of use! My third pair is on the way--I hope I can get at least a few more weeks out of this next set.
I use the earphones with my shuffle while running--about 1 hr every other day. So excessive use or damaging conditions are not a factor.
I'm very disappointed because I love them when they are working. …More13 of 21 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
