Sennheiser New IE 8i

I was wondering how long it would take before they made a cable with phone control.

edit: With an additional $100 in price? Dang, much more than I expected. UE offers the TF10s with the controls for an additional $20 IIRC.

You mean IE 8i

This is in addition to several other models now with iPhone controls:

From the look of it, with a simple cable swap, the iPhone cable should be compatible with the current IE8. 

UE makes a cable with a single button and a mic. The single button does next and previous and play/pause, but it doesn't do volume.

It's ridiculous that no one has made a replacement cable that has a mic and three buttons for the iPhone and iPod. I've been searching for a while.

I just checked, and I guess it doesn't have volume control. Regardless, I feel like $100 is asking a bit much.
