Need new earphones for my iPod touch

Hi,

As the title says, I want to buy new earphones for my iPod touch. However, I want to have the in-line remote and mic on the new ones, and I couldn't find any with this feature.

I am using Apple's earphones with remote and mic and have gotten used to the remote, but I hate the actual earphones themselves.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS. My budget is about $100

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I live in Australia, and the cheapest these go around here is $250.

I'm thinking I might just give in and buy Apple's in-ear headphones, unless someone can pull something out of the hat.

Thanks anyway.

I've had the Klipsch s4i for about 2 months. I tried bose and 3 others and these in-ear phones do a great job in audio clarity and further, I'm told that the microphone is great with many listeners not realizing that I'm talking on my phone. controls are built in.

Thanks! I think I might get these. My one problem with these are the fact that the controls are down at the yoke. Is it difficult to use the controls when they're under your shirt?


Thanks everyone for the feedback, keep it coming.

Buy this: Griffin SmartTalk Headphone Adapter with Control and Mic for iPhone 1G, for about $15 US and use any headphones you want.

I have seriously thought about these, but the lack of mic turned me off them. Also, I don't think I'd be able to adjust to the positioning of the controls, due to having been using apple's earphones where the controls are on the right earbud line. (I don't think that made any sense, sorry!)

A thread in the iPhone accessories forum turned me on to these:

I've been looking for a less expensive set with tapline built in, I am seriously thinking about trying these out.

I don't think these are available in Australia, and they look a bit cheap to me (yea, I know they are cheap, but anyway...)

Has anyone had any experience with Apple's In-Ear Headphones? I think I might just get those.

Another solution I was thinking of was to get the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 170vi. Does anyone know if the clicker works with the iPod touch. With these, I might just have to concede to using the volume controls on the iPod itself.

Once again, thanks everyone for the help.

EDIT: This question is aimed at people who have the Klipsch S4i's. Is the remote hard to use when it's under your shirt? I ride my bike to school, and i have them going under my uniform so that it doesn't get yanked out by the handlebars or something stupid like that. Thanks

OK, I went to the shops and came back with Apple's In-Ear Headphones. They're heaps better than the (not in-ear) earphones with remote and mic, but I suppose they'd better be.

Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions.
