Alternative to stock earphones

Kaho · 07-18-2007, 01:24 AM

Hello everyone, Just joined the EIP forums and figured i'd share this with anyone looking for an alternative to headphones that come w/ the iphone. A company called Rivetnow is manufacturing a bud-style earphone w/ an in-line mic/multi button for the iphone that i can confirm works w/ both the iphone's phone and ipod apps. They're not BT, but they seem to be working pretty well for me so far.

iPhone users include a huge segment
of people (you, and I) not at all "clued" in with the latest,
and greatest "jargon".

What does "BT" stand for?

(And, I'll take my answer off line.)

I didn't see any mention on the website of the in-line mic/button working for the iPod functions.
So you are saying that it has the same functionality as the standard Apple iPhone earbuds?
How is the sound? Can you compare it to some other earphones?
Thanks.

Inline mic/multi button works just like stock earphones. Sound quality is phenominally better too.

Do they not fall out of your ears every 4 seconds like the stock ones too?

for those who may be interested in these, I emailed Rivet today about the functionality of the controls.
The response I received was that they DO NOT forward tracks when you double click in iPod mode.
