iPhone 3G headphones (NO in-ear aka earbuds)

[aendaman]

Hi all,

can someone recommend classical (Apple style) headphones with mic?
I checked around here but all i found was about in-ear/earbuds which i don't like...

Thx

What do you mean, buds or over the ear?

the Shure MPA allows you to use any headphone. I suspect because the recessed headphone is no longer needed, there will be a flood of new makers...

To be specific, I prefer this:

with this adapter thing my problem is that the cable of the actual headphones will be way too long, hanging around above the mic, which i want to have at the collar...

Sony made a set of over the ear and earbuds three years ago that split just perfectly with the Shure MPA

I use SONY MDR-A34 Short Cord In-the-Ear Headphones with a microphone adapter. Works great without excessive cord.
