Great Product for iPod Touch and MacBook

Written by AM from Danbury

Apr 4, 2009

I bought this product initially for my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to use with new iPod Touch Skype application. I am a heavy user of Skype and was missing mobility feature of Skype and mic in iPod Touch. Now both are full filled. I can now receive and make VOIP calls using Skype from my iPod Touch and Apple earphone Remote with Mic. The best part is, I also have a MacBook Aluminum (late 2008), when I plugged the headphone into MacBook, it worked flawlessly. Now I can even control iTunes (volume, paly/pause and track forward only) from the little remote and can use the mic with Skype, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk and other audio related application. Initially I was planning to buy Apple in-ear headphone with remote & mic, which costs $80. Then thought it's not worth it, as by paying $20 more I can buy a Bose in-ear headphone. But this $30 Apple Earphone is really 4 in 1 - Headphone + Remote + Microphone + Spare headphone for iPod Touch. Recommend this product if you have iPod Touch 2nd Gen and/or MacBook/Pro Aluminum. Don't buy it if you have iPod Touch 1st Gen or MacBook white, it won't work.

Perfect for iPod Touch

Written by JM from Columbus

Jan 14, 2009

I have a second generation iPod Touch. These earphones are perfect. By clicking the center button, I am able to play/pause my music. By double clicking, I am able to skip tracks. It is especially nice when using other applications. Many apps pause the music, and by clicking the center button I can resume.

This is also one of the cheaper mics I can find for the iPod. I can now use apps such as Shazam, Voice Recorder, etc. Very useful. I can even use VoIP apps such as TruPhone. I have tested this and it works very well.

Remote with Mic is awesome!

Written by BP from Muncie

I have always liked the standard Apple headphones because they fit me well and sound pretty good. I found other headphones that sound as good or a little better for less money, but I didn't like the look or the fit or the functionality (Apple headphones are the perfect length, etc...)

These are the same Apple iPod headphones, but with this great new mic/control. Works with the iPod touch (2nd gen) and the latest nano (with accelerometer)--with the original iPod touch it only works as standard headphones, not remote. You really need this on the iPod touch or iPhone because these difficult to control (except volume) from your pocket as you used to be able to do with older iPods. This remote lets you turn the volume up/down and play/pause/select and even skip/skip backward all from a tiny little control, without taking the iPod touch or iPhone out of your pocket.

Of course it has the mic, too. I use the mic to make calls over SKYPE with FRING on my iPod touch (2nd gen). FRING is a free app to connect to your SKYPE OUT account (that let's you call landlines and cell phones, not just skype to skype. It's about 2 cents a minute.) You have to put in "001" before every call here in the US--you can call anywhere in the world. Fring has some rough edges, but I expect SYPE will have their own iPod/iPhone app soon. Pretty cool for someone who has almost constant access to wifi. The SKYPE OUT account only cost me $10 which includes over 500 minutes.)

I have used this for some voice annotation/recording as well. The sound quality of the mic is pretty good, but the sound quality of SKYPE and FRING is only acceptable, not as quite as good as you would have on a real cell phone.

Job Well Done

Awesome product. The controls work perfectly, and the Mic captures sound well. They even work with my computer, and I can use the Mic for Skype or iChat, and the controls for my music and movies. It is a bit of a letdown, though, that they don't work with the older iPod models.

Works with the Skype app on the iPod Touch!

I got this so we can make Skype calls on the iPod Touch. It does indeed work. Thanks!

(BTW, I had another earphone/mic combo that I use for my cell phone. It did not work with the iPod Touch.)

Great for iPod Touch gen 2

Written by DG from Barrie

Mar 20, 2009

These headphones are a great addition to an iPod Touch or iPod Nano. The remote makes changing volume and songs quick, easy, and convenient- as you don't need to pull your iPod out of your pocket. The sound quality is the same as the headphones that come with iPods (which is excellent). Finally, the microphone works very well for voice recording, VOIP/Skype, and other apps which use it.

I love the quality of these headphones. The microphone is stunning, audio just as amazing and the product was designed perfectly. The controls are very convenient and easy to use as well. I would suggest to anyone with a compatible iPod to get these earphones, unless you want the In-Ear version.

High Quality Product

Written by AG from Englewood

Mar 7, 2009

I bought these because I lost the earbuds that came with my ipod. I have to say I'm highly impressed. The price is reasonable, the sound quality is impressive, and the remote is incredibly handy. I have no use for the mic, but maybe someday... You really get your money's worth when buying these; worth every penny spent.

Great product!!!!

Written by CH from Ottawa

These earbuds are great! They're perfect and simple for changing songs/volume if you don't want to take your ipod out of your pocket. Very practical for the winter when you're wearing a jacket and you don't want to keep taking your gloves on and off to change songs. The sound quality is great, and the microphone is surprisingly strong; it picks up sounds from around 10 feet away! Overall, no problems with these earbuds, and I would definately recommend this product to anyone who has an ipod. 5 stars!

i bought these headphones because i was tired of having to stop in the middle of a run and change to a song or turn down the volume. now all i have to do is reach up to my right ear and im good. anyone who has a touch or nano and uses nike+ should buy these headphones. the sound quality on them isn't any better than the headphones that come with my ipod, but since they aren't any worse, i would suggest them to anyone.

Continually Advancing

This product truly is wonderful: especially for those who have an ipod touch and desire to have a microphone, yet are unable to afford the monthly phone bills to own an actual iphone. While the built in microphone is the primary attraction of this product, I must admit that it is nice to have the remote as well, and have the ability to control things such as volume without needing to actually hold the device. I must also say that the headphones themselves are wonderful, and provide high quality sound. I am a recent convert from Microsoft, and I personally enjoy the feel and sound of the ipod headphones much more than those included with the Microsoft Zune. Good job Apple...

I absolutely love this item!!!!

Written by HT from Parkersburg

I work as a mail carrier, and I listen to music all day to keep my mind from getting bored. However, when customers have questions it is extremely convienant to be able to just hit a button to mute the music. When previously I had to dig in my uniform shirt to try to unlock the ipod and mute the music, making the customer wait. It is a must for anyone in our carrierfield.

Great for the Gym

Written by TB from San Diego

Jan 3, 2009

This is a great set of "low-cost" headphones for the gym. I really do like the new iPod Nano 4th gen but as with all iPods and taking them to the gym (minus the Shuffle), using the scroll wheel to adjust the volume or even change a song can be a challenge when on the treadmill. I have visions of trying to change a song and then getting shot off the treadmill at a fairly decent clip just because I couldn't manage the finger, hand, and feet thing all at the same time. With these headphones you get the comfort of adjusting music playback and volume right on the headphone cable. It's the little things...
