Does anyone make a decent-looking adapter so that I can use my headphones and still have headset (microphone) and remote/volume control functionality? I love my older Shure canalphones, but I like the convenience of being able to answer phone calls and control the iPhone remotely.
I am aware of the Shure Music Phone Adapter MPA-3C, Griffin SmartTalk, Monster iSoniTalk, and FastMac solutions. None of them except the FastMac one have the remote volume control functionality; the FastMac one is pretty big and ugly and is not regarded well by MacWorld http://www.macworld.com/article/132284/2008/02/iphone_adapters.html.
(I also dislike how most adapters effectively double your headphone's cable length. On the other hand, the iSoniTalk sticks out quite a bit, which I worry may damage the iPhone headphone jack. The ideal solution would be something like Monster's adapter, but with a really short cable instead. Yeah I know, I'm picky.)
Alternatively, suggestions for good canalphones that have a microphone and volume/remote control functionality are welcome. Note the lack of volume control (unfortunately) removes most Ultimate Ear canalphones from consideration. The only one I know that fits so far is Apple's In-Ear headphones.
Thanks in advance!
