Hi!
I'm basically looking for an upgrade to the terrible Apple earbuds with microphone that comes with it...
The only thing is I have come to LOVE the microphone and it's useful button (pause, next song, previous song, answering calls, hanging up...)
So I am looking for a good set of Earphones ( I like the open type) or IEM's if I don't have a choice that have all those functionality without having the microphone too far away from my mouth...
If it would be possible a full Headphone with a microphone would be amazing?
Thank You,
Fred.

also, nuforce ne7m (only 50$ and a great phone -check the threads here and we got a review up too), zagg z-buds (a bit fidgety and not as nice sounding), pfe have one too, many many on the market actually.

oh and you got the vmoda vibe duo too lol
yes i have them but only because i got them with $100 rebate apple gave to iphone customers a year ago..
but i must say they are really comfortable and they have great sound isolation with just the silicon tips.

There are plenty of offering for iphone\blackberry compatible earphones...

- Etymotic HF2
- UE has a few
- Phonak Audeo

And there are also adaptor cables which is basically just a cable extender w/ mic and push button, so you can use your own earphone with it.

(Jays, Shure, Monster cable, belkin, griffin, etc)

Try search. There has been quite a number of threads asking this exact same question lately

If you love the remote function and can't live without it, I recommend you get the Phonak w/ mic or the Apple in ear w/remote. You could do a quick search for reviews to see how they sound like.

 

[shigzeo]

however, many many phones exist with the same functionality - for the price ne7m is probably unbeaten but does not look nice and if you go phonak, you get a better cable of course.

Or HF2

nuforce!

Of all the IEMs with mic for the iPhone, which ones have good mic placements when you wear them with the cord looped over the ear? I've read that doing this places the mic too high on some models...

 

[nc8000]

With the HF2 the mic ends up almost behind the ear so they can only be worn straight down. However to me this is no problem as there is hardly any microphonics to the cable as opposed to the ER4 cable which has be worn over the ear to be listneable.

I use NuForce NE-7m and love it.
Buttons on the mic are a bit unreliable however...
I sent you a PM as well...

Do you use the stock tips or something else?

 

[silverskull]

if i were to use LOD to an amp then to my shures with Mobile Phone Adapter, will i still be able to use the mic functions (eg hanging up,next song, pause song) and will i still be able to answer calls?
