Thank you for trouble and effort to put on this podcast, I have learned alot.
Although I have been really happy with the iPhone 3G S, I cannot say the same for the earbuds that comes with it. This coming weekend I will be picking up my THIRD replacements from my local Apple store.
The first iPhone earbuds failed just two days after I started using my iPhone. Earbuds #2 failed after two months. The failures are the same, the clicker/mic/volume controller quit working. Period. I depends upon the earbuds to work, so that I can use the iPhone.
However, I have found a really good replacement aftermarket earbuds, Scosche HP150M.
Scosche HP150M makes your podcast sounds sharper, music comes through better, and phone calls are much more enjoyable, especially, considering that I am partially deaf.
Interesting to note, I don’t seem to need as much volume with the Scosche HP150M as I did with the original Apple earbuds. Volume control is also less dramatic with the Scosche HP150M.
I don’t know what up with the Apple earbuds, but I would recommend that iPhone users dropped them in a drawer, and pick up a pair of Scosche HP150Ms.
