i dont know why people are giving it bad reviews, it allows your to change track, give your phone commands, and answer calls ! FROM HEADPHONES !! i dont know how u guys have been destroying your headphones, i got my headphones with my iphone 3gs a few months after its release. It hasnt given me any problems at all ! If you take care of the headphones all is great !! Superb sound for standard headphones

ZERO STARS (I only put 1 star because Apple forces you to enter something!)

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.

Love the concept, hate the quality

Written by SN from Kilauea

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.

i really like this product, sounds better than others earphones!!! just mean that them don't work well with some apps that required mic. But yesterday I received a Skype call and it worked perfectly. Unlike other color earphones that I had bought before.

Really poor quality, i bought these as a replacement for my original pair which were physically damaged. Within four months of purchasing, one of the earphones isnt functioning properly. Extremely annoyed as i paid nearly £20 for them which is in no way a small amount for earphones when youre a student.

Headphone Short

Love the shuffle!! Problems with the headphones!!! I have replaced the headphones twice and about to take them in for a third time. Hopefully they will replace them this time. Same problem - the volume/track controller on the right headphone cord shorts out! Arghhh

expencive design without it lasting.

Written by RD from Barendrecht

Nov 17, 2009

Ive been having 3 ipods / iphone over a set of 5 years... I think Ive had to replace the apple headphones that come with about 10 times (if not more...) Worst thing is, the "new" rubbery coating around the earbud comes of within a month or less, and even with 12 months of warranty they dont take em back for repair/replacement because of the loose rubber. (new apple policy)

I think this apple earphone issue is a big one, and they have been lacking in quality for years. iPod/iPhone is a design product that is made to look good and function with proper useability. The only reason these things sell is that they match the iPod/iPhones exterior beauty, but dont expect apples usual quality garranty.

One last thing, I have an iPhone 3G and for some reason the volume increase / decrease buttons on the cord are not compatible for the 3G... hopefully an update could fix this, but im not so sure.

Durable, sleek and a must for Voip on iTouches

Written by SR from San Jose

If you want to do telephony with an iTouch as of now (Nov 2009) no Bluetooth headsets are supported (only a2dp for stereo streaming, no BT mikes) - so these earphones are blessings in disguise for crystal clear telephony - skypeout's my landline.
All other pros and cons are as mentioned by others.

Sound doesn't leak

Written by MR from Toronto

Nov 16, 2009

I had purchased these for myself, but my son needed headphones so I handed them over. Before this I was sure he had his volume too high and that he'd be deaf before his next birthday, because we could always hear his music from the back of the car or the other side of a room. He insisted he wasn't at a high volume. Once he got these though, not only did he remark that outside sounds didn't interfere as much, but we stopped hearing his music... no leakage. I'm impressed. I'll be ordering another pair for me!

Don't sweat it

Here's a tip for "tapedeck style" fast forwarding on the iPhone...sweat profusely into the remote mic!

These sound great BUT..... The cord material is matte, almost sticky stuff, not slick or smooth and therefore get dirty FAST and also hangs up on clothing, does not glide by fabric or anything that it comes in contact with. PLUS the rubber stuff around the headphones which keep them in my ears has come apart fallen off and so the phones no longer stay in my ears.

There are expensive and are not built to last. Unfortunately they are the only item I've found with a Mic so I guess I'll have to buy another pair.

First Day Impressions:

These are very nice headphones. I haven't had any of the problems that others have had yet, but the remote is super convenient for me with my 2nd gen. Touch. And with the mic, I now have the ability to use apps that require a microphone such as Voice Memos and Shazam.

Headphones with remote: epic fail.

Written by JS from Grand Prairie

Nov 15, 2009

I've had various iPods for years now, and since then, I've replaced headphones more often than I've refilled the tires on my truck. Recently I bought a pair of the new headphones with the mic, and they broke within weeks; I began to hear a buzzing and vibrating within the right earbud, as if something had broken loose. I don't mind buying more iPod earbuds because frankly they're the only ones that fit my ear on the market, but apparently I'm not the only one that's displeased with the shoddy quality of the new design. Come one Apple, get your stuff together!!!

not suited for running :(

Written by JF from Toronto

Nov 14, 2009

Got really disappointed when jogging with this type of headphone. Sweat tends to seep in, damaging the controls. It rendered my volume-up button useless!! Had to buy another set. Definitely can't use this one for running anymore...

Love these buds

Written by LA from SAN FRANCISCO

Nov 14, 2009

I think a lot of the reviews for this product are too harsh. For me, the sound is great, the fit is
great and no one has told me they can't hear me. Are they Bose? No, but they're also more
comfortable than the Bose and literally, a fraction of the cost.

Too fragile!

Written by GN from SEATTLE

Nov 12, 2009

I have had my 1st gen iPhone since August 2007 (paid the "early adopter premium") and I'm ordering my 4th set of earphones today. I've had them give way at the ear buds, at the mic, and now at the plug.

The incoming and outgoing sound is excellent! But... Isn't there some way to make a sturdier set that won't continue to come apart with average use?
