Will they every be here. I know I know, I'm impatient, but my stock ones just broke, and I'm holding out. Anyone have a better clue than "October" or "Coming soon?"

I wanna give APPLE my money already !!! hahahah:laugh2:

Wow - when mine broke, I had *zero* interest in buying new stock ones. I bought the Rivet lanyard-style headset ($15 at Amazon at the time), and love 'em.

I Don't think the new In Ear ones are compatiable with the iPhone cause it only says iPods on the apple website.

I really liked these. i bought 5 of them when rivet accidentally sent out an internal email for 75% off their products. I'm on my second one now. but i have noticed they don't sound as good as the first pair. (i've been using them for over a month now.)

They're no longer being made or have any type of warranty since Ultimate Ears sold off Rivet back in April. :(

I did come across another headset that's pretty good. It's made by Coby (not a band i would have ever considered buying) They have a headset that's actually pretty good. They remind me alot of the V-moda vibe duo's. I use as my work out headsets. They sound good considering the brand. The only thing i don't like about these is where the mic is placed. (It's about 4 or 5 inches below the left ear bud).

I picked these up at Fry's Electronics for $19.99. They can be found on Amazon for a bit less. Despite the reviews on Amazon, they're certainly a step up from the pos stock ones. Honestly, what headset's that are iphone compatible with a mic have really lasted? Everywhere i've read everyone's got a complaint about them. From the stock pair to the V-moda vibe duo's.
