I purchased this item in order to use Skype on my iPod Touch 2nd generation. It works great and I’m happy I spent a little more and bought a genuine iPod accessory. The earphones are standard ipod ones but they have a neat little volume control and microphone on the right ear cord which gives good quality through Skype.
Delivery took just 3 days to get it to my home in the North of Scotland, brilliant.
The volume control and mic will work with iPod nano (4th gen), iPod classic (120gb) and iPod touch (2nd gen). The audio is supported by all iPods.
Rating: 5 / 5
Bought these for my ipod but only found out once i’d got them that they don’t work with all ipods, i.e. the controls and mic bit. They are however, supported on ipod classic, but not the 80GB (the one I have) but are supported for the 120G classic. They are supported on ipod touch, and the iphone but there is no mention of support for other models. Hope that helps.
Can’t review the functionality of the microphone, or the controls as wouldn’t work on mine, but the sound quality is exactly the same as the standard plugs that come with the ipod and are the same shape when fitting inside your ear.
My own fault that they weren’t compatible as I should have read a bit more about it before purchasing. Just giving others the heads up as I don’t think it’s particularly clear or obvious that the 80GB classic is not supported.

Bought to go with my Touch – works fine, volume control handy and enables use of Skype for free calls when you’ve got a wifi connection.

I bought this with mic specifically to enable me to use Skype from my Ipod Touch as I use Shure 530’s for music. I tried it out and it works fine, at least as good as using my laptop if not better. Now I can speak to anyone in the World from anywhere with a wifi connection

I got the standard earphones with my iPhone which eventually broke so bought these as a replacement. The sound quality was just as good but the real added benefits was the remote control which meant I could pause and skip songs. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the volume up down buttons on the remote do not seem to work with my iPhone so I have to use the Phone’s buttons instead.
