    Beautifully Done.

    • Written by 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 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!     …More

    A great piece of technology!

    • Written by 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

    Survived a wash in the washing machine!

    • Written by from Brownstown

    I LOVE these earphones! I lost them for a while and ordered another set. Turns out, they were in my pocket and got washed. When I pulled them out of the washer, water was pouring out of them. I immediately put them in a bag of rice for 2 days and tried them. Guess what? They work!! Still the same great quality as before and the mic even still works. Amazing! …More

    Poor quality

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I have been through like 5 of these headphones now. I am gentle with them, the roughest use they get is when I'm on the treadmill at the gym. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to take this sweaty kind of beating. Thankfully I have a warranty, but they really need to redesign their headphones, otherwise I love all of their products. …More
