Any word o the new earbuds?

[Detlev]

If I remember correctly the new stereo, dual driver, "they finally got it right" earbuds are supposed to be available in October. All right, I know we have eight days left but are there any rumors about when they'll show up? I've been holding off purchasing a replacement set and have to listen through the speaker. I just hope these are a lot better than the last version of buds. They sounded terrible.

Check out this thread. (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=573875) In short, October 31st is my personal guess. Believe me the Apple employees have been trained to say "shipping" and then say "we have no control over shipping times".

I don't understand why they wouldn't put iPhone support in. Any ideas? I'll be getting an iPhone soon and would like to have a quality pair of headphones with a mic (for phone calls), but nothing seems to be worth buying. It's really frustrating actually, I got super pumped about these new headphones but was quickly shot down when I saw the iPhone wasn't listed under compatible devices.

it really would be nice to have volume adjustments on the iphone headset

Did I miss something? I assumed they would be compatible with the iphone, after all, there is a mic built in. Was it published somewhere that they are not?

My guess is that they needed to add another connection in the headphone jack. Like the current one has 3 connection bands on the connector. They probably need four.

I can't find the listing on Apple store site.
Just the $29 in ear headphones.

I wonder if they are having production problems?

There are already four in the socket on the iPhone.

Where is it written/who said the new earbuds would not be compatible with the iPhone?

Apple's website.

Though it remains to be seen if that just means everything but the volume control works.
