    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.     …More

    iPod Headphone with Mic and Remote

    Written by AG from Kingston

    Jan 5, 2009

    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!     …More

    A great piece of technology!

    Written by JE from Trumbull

    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

    Earbuds for 3GS

    Written by TS from SHOW LOW

    Dec 2, 2009

    These are terrific earbuds, except......

    The sound is good, the fit is good, the remote buttons work flawlessly, but they simply don't last. I wear my iPhone for about 15 hours a day and the earbuds last for a month or so. Typically one earpiece starts sounding distorted or quits altogether. Good thing I bought the Apple Care Extended Plan as Apple happily sends me a new set overnight FedEx every time they go bad. When they work, they work great, but they just don't work for long. If it weren't for the fact that Apple replaces them instantly, I would rate them far lower. …More

    Amazing, except the right earphone!

    Written by MW from Winfiled

    Dec 1, 2009

    These wonderful earphones are the only type of earphone that actually stay in my ears! The only problem is that after about 3/4 of a year, the right earphone stopped working, not completely, but you have to crank it up to hear! I hardly ever have both in anyways because i'm always talking to friends. Besides this minor difficulty, the earphones are superb sound quality and I would suggest them to everyone! …More

    Not Worth It

    Written by TS from Brampton

    Dec 1, 2009

    The sound quality is acceptable, but definitely on the low end. The problem however, is the extremely short lifespan. I use these no more than 3 hours each day, and after a couple months, they begin to break down. First, I lose bass, then they stop working. Even when I take good care of the, and avoid moisture, they still manage to break. I've gone through three pairs in the last year, and I've had enough. …More
