 Great for the iTouch! January 22, 2009

I bought these specifically for my Ipod Touch, 2G. Sound quality is good, they are basically the standard Ipod ear buds. If you're interested in making Voip calls through your touch, then these are a must. I use them for making phone calls through Skype (using the Fring app). They work perfectly out of the box (and yes, it is hard to open!) I called my husband's cell phone and he reported my sound quality being just fine. It's too bad that they don't work on my Mac too...
Great product for iPod Touch and MacBook April 5, 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.
 Great Product fro Runners and Skype! - They could be cheaper though... January 19, 2009

I got these for my ipod touch 2G and they work like a charm. I needed something that would allow me to use the nike + ipod application AND not having to go crazy about clicking the right controls on the ipod. With a couple clicks you can FFW/RWD a song, pause and +/- the volume. The nike ipod app for the touch needs a little improvement to work as well as the nano did but this headphones help a lot.
ALSO, you can use your ipod touch as a Skype phone with these headphones. Very convenient!
Functions don't work on iPhone 3G August 20, 2009

OK, if I had really dug around I would have noticed this before purchasing -- the volume controls don't work with the iPhone 3G (and according to the Apple page I have since discovered, neither does the mic input).
So it's more or less useless to me since the mic and volume control are the two useful features of having a headset with my iphone (I use it to listen to music on the bus, answer phone calls while walking, etc). This seems to be the standard Apple iPhone headset, at least that's available via Amazon -- yet its key features don't work for the largest portion of iPhone users?!
Stupid move by Apple. Avoid if you have a 3G. I know it's at the end of the details about the headset, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one who might guess that the remote and mic might actually work on "Apple Earphones with Remote & Mic"
Use with an iPod touch October 18, 2009

Alas, these earphones did not ship with the second-generation Apple refurbished iPod touch that I got at an excellent price, I had to buy them here, making the traditional Apple earphones that shipped with it a waste.
POSITIVES
1. You get a microphone for recording memos or using VoIP applications such as Skype. If you are traveling, services like Skype provide a cost-free way to talk to friends from anywhere that you can get access to WiFi.
2. Control iTunes playback without pulling the touch out of your pocket. Since the touch does not have VoiceOver, you don't get all the features you get with an iPod shuttle, but you can do this:
* Play/Pause: Click once in the center of the slender control device dangling near your mouth to pause and resume playing.
* Change the volume: Click at the top of the device to raise the volume, at the bottom to lower it.
* Next track: Double-click very quickly in the center. (I found my natural click rate was too slow.)
* Previous track or start of track: Triple-click very quickly in the center. If you've just started playing a track, that takes you to the previous track. If you've been playing it for more than 6 seconds, it will take you to the start of that track.
* Fast-forward: Double-click very quickly the center, holding down the second click. You can usually comprehend enough of the speeded up sound to spot where to stop. Release to play from that point on. It's great for skipping through parts of podcasts that don't interest you.
* Fast-rewind: Triple-click very quickly in the center, holding down the third click. Again you'll hear the sound speeded up but, since it is in reverse, you'll only be able to spot major changes.
NEGATIVES
These earphones don't appear to be as rugged as I might like, but they're built like the standard Apple earphones, and none of those have given me any trouble despite hundreds of hours of use, so I suspect I have no reason to complain there.
My more serious complaint is the color--the usual Apple iPod white that says to all who see you, "I have an iPod. Aren't I cool!" I'd rather we had the choice of some dark color such as black, so what I'm doing isn't so obvious. I don't worry about that leading to my getting mugged, although some do. I think it makes other people less likely to talk with you. It hangs up a "Do not disturb" sign that I'd rather not have.
