apple in-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic

[cfarag]

Does anyone have any rumors on when the new Apple in-Ear headphones are being released? The Apple store just says the "Shipping Soon" and I've read its supposed to be October.

Also, it doesn't say they are compatible with the Iphone 3G. I find that hard to beleive.

Not compatible probably means that they won't have a microphone on them, like the current ones.

[chrismmm]

so is it only a ear piece and not a mike..?

Right here on the apple website it says that they have a mic http://www.apple.com/ipod/inearheadphones/

Also at the bottom it has a box titled compatibility information

The remote and mic are supported only by iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (120GB), and iPod touch (2nd generation). Audio is supported by all iPod models.

Ugh... I've been waiting for these headphones. It's now almost December and there is no sign of them, even though Jobs said to expect them in october. Maybe they are in the same place as push for the 3rd-party apps. I have a feeling that the mic and remote are just not compatible at this moment, but there is a planned iPhone software update to fix that. I hope that's the case because I am hooked on the remote. Any one else have news on the release date?

I was weary of the wait, so I purchased Griffin Smart Talk mic (with switch that does apple-stuff with the music) from MacMall. I already have some very nice stereo earbuds I like. I'm satisfied.

I may not purchase the Apple set, because I have something that works and because the Apple set are white, causing a maximum "gotta-steal that" response.

[acosmichippo]

yeah, i'm not a fan of the white either. hate to be pigeonholed as an apple fanboy... as superficial as that is. Otherwise, they look nice. I'd be curious to hear how they sound and feel.

If i had to guess, i'd say the mic is not supported on the iphone because of voice recording for memos.

[cfarag]

They are out now. From what I've read its just the volume control that is not compatible with the Iphone 3G. Everything else works. Its be nice to hear from someone who has bought and tried them.
