Just wanted to write in to say that I just got the IPod/IPhone cilicon tipped in the ear ear buds with the remote/mike combo. Though I have not played with it much, I did want to say, the sound quality is just out of this world amazing. The stereo seperation is unbelievable. I wanted to give a few tips though for those who may be thinking of buying it.
The microphone and remote actually are about a fourth of the way down the cord from your right ear piece. If you feel on the side of the mike facing away from you, once they're in your ears, you'll feel two little bumps. One on the top and another further down toward the floor. This is your remote volume control. The way I do this is take your thumb on your right hand to grap the back of the mike/remote and then use your index finger on the button and squeeze. Apple told me that it is not a button it's actually a little indention you tap on, but they are actually incorrect on this. You do? actually have to push. Now, in the middle between those two buttons, there is a big kind a flat little indention, not sure how to describe it. It kind a feels totally flushed. It's virtically right between your volume up and down. This is another button that serves a few purposes. If you push it one time, that is your play/pause. Kind a like you hitting the wheel in the middle. Now, if you double tap it like a double click real fast, just go, tap tap, it'll move you to the next track. If you tripple click it: tap tap tap, It'll go to the previous track. I'm not sure if you can do this when the IPod's hold switch is engaged. I would think you could, but I'm not sure. Another thing definitely worth noting is that from what I've read on a few reviews, the volume remote does *not* work with the IPhone. Don't ask me why, but... The other thing I haven't yet tried is in the main menu of the IPod, I don't know if you actually can use the up and down keys to scroll like with the click wheel. I don't think you can, but I've not honestly tried. OK, now, for the voice memo feature. I'm gonna step you through this but just know, I'm doing this based off the IPod Nano 4th Gen. It could be different depending on what model you have, and I guarantee! it'll be different with the IPod touch, although I hardly know anyone on here who'd have that being we're all visiually impaired for the most part. OK, the end of the cord is a standard 8th inch. Now, having said this, don't try plugging it into a mike jack on a pc tower. I somehow dono if that would work. I don't think it would. I guess it's got like a 4way conductor in it. Anyway, once you plug it in, even if it's on hold, your IPod is going to power up, and you'll be in your main menu on music. You'll hear this if you have the voice sinked down, which you should. Now if you scroll clockwize on the wheel, not the remote, I mean the actual click wheel. You're gonna see another menu option that says voice memos. This won't be there unless you have these special headphones. Don't try plugging a regular mike in, it won't work. I already tried. So, click in the center of the wheel on select. ok, now you're gonna have a menu. Basically the first time you do this there'll only be one option. That'll be start recording. So click on that. Now, you're recording and have a few things you can do. the voice isn't gonna speak at this point so hear me out. If you click the wheel in the center like selecting an option, that'll insert another chapter every time that you push it. To stop recording, you got a few things you can do. First, click the menu/back part of the wheel, so bascially push at 12:00. Don't hold it in, just push and release. Now this isn't gonna read, but you're at a menu. If you have the clicks set to come through your ear phones, which by default they are, then you can count clicks. Basically, you have resume recording, pause recording, delete recording, and stop and save. So just brush your finger clockwise until you hear no more clicks, then hit select in the center. Boom, it saves. OK, now to play it: Go back to your main IPod screen. Scroll to voice memos again. This time yeah, you'll see start recording but if you scroll down, now! you'll see something that says recordings. Go in there and you got delete all, or if you scroll down, you have all the recordings. Click on the one you want, then you have things like label, play, delete, etc. Now be aware, when you sync your IPod, look in your sources list. There's gonna be a playlist called voice memos that'll get created. Also, anything that you sync from your system down to the IPod as a voice memo, be aware that will not be under recordings in your voice memos screen on the IPod. What happens is, when you sync a memo to ITunes, it'll remove it from the recordings screen under voice memos and whipe it off the IPod. Now if you resync it, then on the IPod, you'll then wanna go under music from the main IPod menu, then go down to playlists, and finally voice memos, and there they'll all be. I hope that this helps someone thinking of getting these ear phones.
