Sorry, um, They kind of hurt my eyes...
Are you sure they are "Eye-Phones"?
Ironically, by the look of it, these iPhones wouldn't even fit the iPhone. Amateurs.
It's just what I wanted!! OMFG HOW DID YOU KNOW!
SWEET...they really reduced the size on these buggers!
Sorry, um, They kind of hurt my eyes...
Are you sure they are "Eye-Phones"?
I can understand accidentally clicking "Add Your Comments" twice... but going into your email, opening up two seperate emails from Engadget and clicking the "Confirm Your Comment" link on BOTH emails after reading in both confirmation emails that both comments are ONE AND THE SAME?
Who the hell is reproducing these days? We've gotta get some bills into congress on this one.
It's possible to skip the confirmation step if you actually make an account of Engadget.
Only two this time?
You are usually good for at least three.

To that guy who doesn't know about the auto-post feature..maybe you should make an account and stop fussing with emails...
Ummm... I DO have an account.
if you can't figure out how to add one post at a time, at least make them worth reading
That must be the rumored Apple invisible. So tiny you can't see it.
They could have at least made them compatible with the real iPhone.
Look at the size of the rubber around that audio jack.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........r.u.b.b.e.r..........
They have been in canada for over a year. they give good quality I use them always plus the fit in an iphone headphone jack.
But are they unlocked?
I'm not surprised. Canada has everything you can imagine, and then some.
Especially Toronto, huge market on knock-offs and Hollywood movies on DVD while on screen. Just yesterday, citytv has just got some exclusive footage of police found stores and inventory with many many many knockoffs. CK, Prada, D&G, Gucci....or and Air Jordan and nike of course
Yeah - The Pacific Mall rocks. Anything you want. (and a lot you don't!)
Canada still lacks cheap data plans =/.
Northern North America rocks!
Best five word posting. Ever
I C WAT U DID THERE
Bob: lets give a round of applause to the canadians who've been wating for ages on this apple masterpiece!
Jenkins: psst! they rae not APPLE iphones idiot.
Bob: go to hell jenkins
These are so old. In Dollar stores everywhere!
You want to know what else is old? This comment. Its pretty redundant. Pretty redundant. Pretty redundant. Redundant.

Merry Christmas, my ears are breaking up.
Amazing, digital earphones! What a revolution! I wonder what digital sound must sound like?
Monotonic square waves? :P
Those have been in the dollar store since early this year at least -- as have various other varieties for even longer. This is not new. It's still crap though, but hey, if you need something just to listen to the lecture you recorded, or maybe some AM talk radio...
Ooooooooo, it says "digital"! '80s retro!
were there any analog earphones?
@kimatg:
Umm... yes. Actually, ALL earphones are analog (except for the i-Phones, of course). All digital signals must pass through a Digital/Analog Converter before they can even be deciphered by your tiny human brain.
Someone is begging for an Apple lawsuit...
FYI these were in dollar stores before Apple ever mentioned their iPhones
The ones for the iPhone, the plug is straight and not curbed like the one shown in the photo, it won't go it! hihihi
Comwave lawyers, attack!
By the way, isn't XBS trademarked by Panasonic?
holla for a dolla!
Hollla!
Please send the check soon :)
Check out how cool I am! Im using iPhones on my iPhone and...oh, wait...
DAMN RECESSED HEADPHONE JACKS!!!!
That's $1 canadian, which at current exchange rates is $399 US.
you really should check the exchange rates.....
Ouch, lmao :D
The US dollar has a cent on the Canadian dollar right now.
1 cent. That's all? A few years back it was 2 canuks per buck.
Not the best time to make a Canadian Currency joke...
Your mom.
(Yes, I went there..)
nice way to catch some readers, ha!
Yeah, but still no 3G.
No, but this one already reached it's 3rd generation model. Comes with more memory and even better UI.
Multitouch, I assume?
Good to know I'm not the only one ROFLMAO
doot doo, da doo doo
Maybe that's what digital sound sounds like!
So, uh, someone acquired excess inventory of Apple's old iPod headphones and rebranded them?
Don't make us come down there and hurt you... :)
Yeah, these definitely "hit" canada ages ago.
I would say two years.
My friend used to buy 10 of them at a time.. quality.
You know what, this whole i is really annoying.
My parents are using a floor company called iFloor.com for their addition. How lame is that!
i agree, iT's ridiculous.
I'm gonna be innovative----------
Iphone
Ipod
Iframe
Itunes
Ifilm
Ifloor
iRack
iRan
yeeeaaaahp good ol' MadTV
I will now divert your attention to something even more important....., THE iRan!
XBS
stants for Xtra BullS**T!!!!
no. really
WILL IT BLEND?
...
You're an idiot, if you don't have anything to say, don't post "...". It probably wastes like 5 KB of space on the server, and even that is too much to waste on you.
To Piers Rippey:
Coming soon!
does it have to be christmas?
Finally!
Oh Engadget, please let us win these!
oh god these actually predate the iphone.
A quality product receives the press it has long deserved. Go Canadian "made in China" products!
(looks at polystation, vii, New Slime 2)
psh. amateurs.
No qwerty no care
What the hell are you talking about?
Also, everyone who thinks we care these have been around for a long time, you're WRONG, shut up, we know and it's been in like a thousand comments already, you're not as smart as you think you are.
iLove the fact that this has brought out some of the best & funnies comments iHave ever seen on an Engadget comment thread. iReally think that we need to have some more of these 5 word posts. iThink iT's hilarious.
So, another question, when will Apple sue me for this post?
~JYH
O'Doyle Rules!
damn, Tom, how did you manage to launch Myspace if you can't even handle a simple comment form?
These have been in Canada for a loooooong time. No news here. Patel, this article sucks. Next time get an ACTUAL STORY.
Heh, I thought it really was a $1 iPhone... with a $100-per-call Telus plan.
