Hi guys
right I need some advice here. I am looking for a good set of earphones with a mic for my iPhone 3gs. I bought originally apple's in ear remote earphones but they started to crackle when the volume was too high. Then the left earphone eventually died so I returned this back to the apple store. They suggested the sennheiser mm50 model I think it's called which is great. However the push to talk feature of the mic does not seem to work when you are listening to music and u want to answer a call. It only works when you are not listening to music. Which I find really silly. The apple one worked bothways with or without music. So I have the choice of taking the one I have now back and going back to the apple one hoping it works correctly or getting a refund and getting something else differet but don't know which one. It has to have a mic where it allows me to answer a call with and without Music playing. |

I had a pair of Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket earphones that suffered the exact problems you encountered with your Apple 'phones.
Rather than waste my money on another pair of FMJ'S, I did some serious research and found that the 2 pairs of earphones that were getting rave reviews were the Bose in ear phones for mobile, and the Klipsch S4i.
I plumped for the Klipsch ones, and I can honestly say that I haven't been disappointed.
Info on the Bose can be found here - http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/h[....]obile-in-ear-headset/index.jsp

Both sets are available to buy from the Apple Store.

I thought Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket earphones were replaced for free if they became faulty...

stulou you know the Klipsch ones, do they stay ok in your ear when your running? can you deff for sure answer and end calls, while listening to music with them on? As well as answer and end calls when no music is playing?

They do in the USA or Canada but there is no HQ in the UK.

I not sure about running but they definately stay in during a brisk walk to and from work on a daily basis. They do answer and end calls during music playback, and most definately answer and end calls when no music is playing. They are, as far as I know, the only earphones on the market that replicate the functionality of the Apple ones. They even control the Voice Control function on the 3GS. |

i have a pair of zaggs z-buds, they completely replicate all the iphone functions, FF, RR, Stop, answer call, stop ....etc, and the music quality is really good, and they have a unique way of round the neck wearing that is really clever |
