In-Ear Headphones: Still Waiting

It does seem strange to have a product that seems to minor to have such a long delay.

That being said, I'm going to buy one as soon as they're shipping!

Is there precedent for this? Apple promising a date and then that date silently passes?

Final Cut Server comes to mind...

This is extremely retarded.

Apple CAN come out and at LEAST say. "We apologize... the item has been delayed", and THAT'S IT! Although not as respectable, its much better than leaving everyone waiting, as they silently keep pushing back the product.

Nice.

As long as they end up with a product that is better than the old in-ear headphones people will forgive and forget. And it shouldn't be hard...

This is getting so annoying! The Apple Store people tell me sometime this November but who knows. Also, will Apple use their common sense and release an iPhone version for these? Even if they can't have the volume control, I'd still buy them in a heartbeat!

I'm still waiting on Push. :mad:

September was it? October passed too now, Apple.

Headphones. It's not a new computer. It's a pair of freaking headphones. Is the triangular shaped case causing some confusion for the symmetrical and even design team or what? Too cerebral or are these the best damn headphones Earth has ever seen?

These had better be Bose quality. The last time they put out a uniquely audio product (the iPod speaker dock) it tanked in a hurry. These may do the same before the physical release.

You mean just about every Apple announcement in the past 3 or 4 years?

Lets hope its worth the wait, cause I got some voucher from my Apple Authorized dealer because my birthday is coming and I wished to used it on the new earphones.

Lets hope its worth the wait :crossfingers:

Will this work with the iPhone 3G?

Besides the technical reason behind the incompatibilities, Apple might justify the loss of volume control on these headphones because of the external volume rocker on the iPhones. It sucks, I know.
