Shuffle-Compatible Headphones Trickle In From Etymotics, Klipsch, Monster and Scoche
We're just starting to get word on Shuffle VoiceOver-friendly headphones coming from third-party manufacturers. In addition to the news we've already seen from Scosche, there's a $100 pair from Klipsch, and we're being told that there will be more announced from Monster and Etymotics shortly, if not already. Shure confirmed to us that it does not have a Shuffle-ready headset or any kind of adapter. Stay tuned for details, but that's the tally right now.
