It's not the headphones that aren't compapatible with the 3G, it's the 3G that is lacking. There is a forth band on these headphones which the headphone jack in the 3G doesn't support.

also want to add that I had Shure SE110s and I hated them, dunno, call me deaf but the base was so poor for in-ear headphones I felt cheated after spending over 100$ on them, returned them week after. Ended up with sennheiser headphones (don't remember version) and very happy indeed.

@Zeuxis: Add me to the list of people who don't like the SE110's. The e2c's were superior to this, and it's worse that these are supposed to be replacements for them, AND cost more than their predecessors did. The SE210's have better sound, and although they're not bass-happy, have much better range than the 110's.

I just wear my cheap, giant Grado SR60's. Comfy with the best sound sub $90.

@m4ximusprim3: Man I hate it when people wear studio headphones around like they are earbuds. They look like idiots, not to mention if there was a giant fire, they wouldn't hear anything.

However, the Zune still sounds better than the iPod, with both a wider frequency range and higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Apple makes great flagship products, but the accessories are usually mediocre... With all of the 3rd party companies creating superior products nobody needs really needs to buy these. They are for the uneducated super-fanboy masses. I'll take 3!

I'm really glad I didn't plunk down any money on that 1G iPod touch. It has no support from the port plug FM remote at all, and seems can't support the latest either. What a crappy first run.

@Kaiser-Machead: I might get the regular iPod earphones with the mic instead, just so I can use the Skype app on my touch. Any confirmation of this working?

Why are they still making everything white?

@Duke: It's the same color of the people who buy and can afford iPods. Seriously have you ever seen any black people with iPods?

Where is the frequency response chart? Same price as Etymotic ER-6?

@getz76: Click the link. The response chart is on the bottom of the Apple page. Not so good for that price. Pick up the Shure or the Etymotic at that price.

@getz76: The response chart looks good to me (great in the bass, a little choppy on the high end) although that's no reason to like these things. Response charts are often false indicators of how good things sound.
