New in-ear earphones announced!

[CD65]

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.

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's headphones have always been S*#T.

No thank you.

Sennheiser or Shure will be my choices

looks cool but I couldnt spend $79 on some head phones especially made by apple

[staterunner180]

Your Right.
w.e
Apple is Apple.
i just dont think
that its NOT for the iPhone.
probably there mad at us.. lmao
w.e
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
