Nov 3, 2008 11:36 AM in response to jordan 572by yllek882007,I have no idea! I have been waiting since they were announced. In the keynote they said it would be October, but that doesn't seem to be the case considering it's November 3. Maybe they meant next October I hope not! -

Nov 6, 2008 9:29 PM in response to jordan 572by sakura_me,I found new Apple earphone with mic/control at a local Apple store two days ago. They aren't the in-ear headphones, but the standard Apple earphones with mic/control. Hopefully they'll have the in-ear ones soon. -
Nov 7, 2008 12:58 AM in response to jordan 572by Ollie-91,I know what you mean, they did say October release date. I've waited since the keynote and put off buying anything other pair of earphone sine my other ones died. I wish they'd hurry up and get these shipped out if not i'll buy something else. -
Nov 8, 2008 5:29 PM in response to sakura_meby stradijeri,Are you sure they're not the iPhone headphones with mic/control? They, as far as I know, only work with the iPhone. If you saw the real things I'll be in the car to the Apple store before you can count to 5. :{0 -
Nov 9, 2008 3:08 AM in response to Ollie-91by Ptsm,I asked an Apple Reseller and he told me
"The ear-phones (New In-Ear) are announced for November, without more precision for the moment unfortunately." -
Nov 9, 2008 2:38 PM in response to stradijeriby Furtwanglerian,I can say fairly certainly that they (the Apple iPhone headset) won't work with the iPod Touch 2G -- that is to say the earphones work, the mic works, but you'll have no control over pausing/skipping music tracks.
I bought them at an Apple store in London a couple of weeks ago and returned them for that reason.
Interesting that the store 1) accepted the return and 2) had no idea that the headphones should provide music control (it's mentioned nowhere in the packaging, only on the website product description -- where it also in fact misleadingly says they're 'compatible' with the iPod Touch 2G...) -
Nov 11, 2008 11:44 AM in response to Ptsmby Alex2805,Hi all,
I'd like to know if the new headphones with microphone and volume control will work also on the iphone 3g. thank you,

Nov 12, 2008 7:05 PM in response to Furtwanglerianby ArchUrban,are you sure about that? I own both iphone 3G, 2G ipod touch. earbuds for iphone with mic/playback control is working with 2G ipod touch as well, excepting microphone feature. press twice is next song, three times is previous song, press one time is stop & play. I am sure about it. but I don't like earbuds because it sounds terrible. wire is not smooth after folding. -
Nov 12, 2008 7:07 PM in response to ArchUrbanby thenorthman,I also would like to know if they would work with the iPhone as well. Of course it says they are not compatible but why would there be a mic for the iTouch, and other iPods?

Nov 19, 2008 3:11 PM in response to ArchUrbanby Furtwanglerian,Interesting, ArchUrban...
Yes, I had the MA814LLA "Apple Stereo headset with Mic" and found that with my iPod Touch 2G the microphone worked perfectly (I made a few Skype calls using fring), but that I had no control over the music playback.
I'm starting to think it's maybe not so surprising that it's taking longer than was initially suggested for Apple to get these new-Touch-compatible headsets out... -
Nov 23, 2008 7:14 AM in response to jordan 572by bo12,does anybody know if the standard headphones with remote and mic will work on the 1G touch
if not does anybody know some compatible headphones with the remote -
Nov 26, 2008 1:33 AM in response to Alex2805by danny2811,I rang one of the apple store yesterday and they said that they WILL work with the iphone 3G and that they will be out in November. Seemed a stupid answer as November is over this weekend. My fingers are well and truly crossed -
Nov 30, 2008 4:43 PM in response to jordan 572by jordan 572,the headphones better be out tomorrow as they are already two months late now
