The earbud-style headphones rely on Neodymium transducers, a rare earth magnet that significantly enhances frequency response and overall sound quality -- in fact, five times as powerful as other headphones that use aluminium, cobalt, or ceramic drivers.
The wired remote lets you fast forward, rewind, play/pause, and control the volume with four simple buttons. The Hold switch allows you to lock your iPod remote so buttons can't be pressed accidentally. Clip the remote to your lapel, shirt, or collar for easy access.
The iPod Remote and Earbuds set works with the 3rd and 4th Generation iPod and iPod mini.

It's impossible to identify the buttons easily by touch and if the (completely useless) clip has detached (most of the time) you can't tell the paus control from the volume. The button size prevents the remote being used with gloves of any... more info
great item, will deteriorate quickly Couldnt agree more with rooniusmaximus. In fact, I'm going to keep my review short because he outlined EXACTLY my thoughts in his own review. Great item, can't imagine listening to my iPod without the remote, but the darn wire keeps getting creased and breaking after months of daily use.
I as well have been looking to buy the remote without the earphones (I'll echo the same sentiments too: incredibly uncomfortable) but alas, it doesnt seem possible.
So in the end, I have to play the silly consumer and... more info
