Exactly what makes them iPhone incompatible?

If the plug fits, they work....just like any other headphones us iPhone users are using.
What am I missing?

DAMN, i was hope they make bluetooth headphones for the iphone/ipod touch and then add A2DP support in the new firmware.... oh well

[netbike]

what's the purpose of the built in microphone when the new ear phone doesnt support iphone? totally pointless.

iphone and ipod plug are the same i.e. 3.5mm what makes the difference is the number of contacts on the plug. iphone is 4 while ipod is 3. both works on any mp3 which provides a 3.5mm socket but the 3 contacts will not have microphone function.

I agree that these should have been made compatible with the iPhone or a second set with the original iPhone cord w/ controller/mic. However, what I don't understand is how anyone here can criticize them without ever hearing them. Stop comparing them to Apple's crappy earbuds and give these a chance. With two drivers, these headphones should sound much better than most Senns or Shures. Only time will tell if they can compete with the top brands.

jus
t make an a2dp headset and enable a2dp already (i wont buy anything tho, i have some sony a2dp ones ffrom the time i had a SE celphone :P )

Never try to plug an apple in your ears

Wow, did ANYONE actually watch the keynote? I can't believe no one has corrected this already.

Apple is releasing 2 new headphones, one is the regular earbuds, with the added mic and controls. This is for the new touch/nano/classic, because part of the new user interface is a voice recording program. The regular earbuds that come with the iPhone already have a mic! These headphones will be $30.

In addition to the standard earbuds + mic/controls, Apple is also releasing in-ear headphones, which is a first for them. The in-ears have the 3 interchangeable earpieces as mentioned, and will sell for $80. Steve never mentioned the in-ears having any such microphone/iPod control like the new earbuds.

Hopefully this makes a bit more sense.

Apple actually has had in ear headphones before. I have some and loved them, until i somehow broke one and had to glue it back together
Apple Store (U.S.) - Apple iPod In-Ear Headphones

Apple's headphones have always been S*#T.

No thank you.

Sennheiser or Shure will be my choices

[Terrill]

im fine with my headphones and at $79..
i rather buy like a bunch load of apps .. and buy a normal mic'd headphones for 30

I agree lol. I can buy earphones with the same audio output at Wal-mart for $23. They only difference is the logo and the volume control and mic. (Which I can't use anyway because I'm 1G touch.)
And, it wouldn't surprise me for apple to be angry with us. Everything they put out gets PWNED! haha

[killermike]
