Why will they not support the iTouch? Geez, bad move Apple.

@Morpheous: It supports the iPod touch just fine. The first run iTouch doesn't have the line-in capability.

I'm guessing the people balking at this price the most are the kind that either buy only the highest end OE phones, or just never go above $40 when purchasing earbuds. Good earbuds ain't cheap, namely dual driver IE's.

I fail to see how $80 would be a good price point. I'd rather spend my money on some fat ass Sennheiser headphones that are guaranteed to fit on my.... head and are also guaranteed to make shitty music sound good.

@anus1220: Oh, and may I add how easily stealable these are.

@anus1220: Being "stealable" is not really a valid argument against any product. A nice car, or a very popular car is more likely to be stolen or vandalized/stripped than any old hoopty, but if we always worried about our purchases attracting more attention, we'd never buy what we like, now would we?

Maybe you fail to see how the price point is good, but as one who purchased a pair of earbuds for $150, I'd say that this makes them damnably attractive. They're equipped similarly to my Shure SE210's, and though I don't know what the end result of this is on the sound, this makes them very intriguing.

Also, not everyone likes fat headphones. In fact, some might actually hate them, much like I do.

@KLanD: My Shure SE210's disagree. If they turn out to be as good a set as I hope, they may be on the list when my Shures finally give it up. Better to pay $80 than $150 again.

Since release I have been flabbergasted about how these is listed as not being compatible with the iPhone...

@Pressure: Technically, it didn't say it doesn't work with the iPhone, albeit being a glaring omission. An example is the USB Ethernet adapter. It works with all Macs, not just the Macbook Air, but is listed as an Air-only product.
