Apple In-Ear Headphones Finally Shipping

After a long delay, Apple has started to list ship dates of "7-10 days" on their revised In-Ear headphone which were announced in September.


Apple describes the new In-Ear headphones as being "engineered for superior acoustic accuracy, balance, and clarity" and were originally promised in October. They retail for $79.00.

The new headphones are also mostly compatible with the iPhone and iPhone 3G although the volume controls will not work. Apple has also released a technote on getting optimal audio quality from your In-Ear headphones.
