Sorry, um, They kind of hurt my eyes...

Are you sure they are "Eye-Phones"?

[sebastian Mathews @ Dec 5th 2007 8:39PM]

Ironically, by the look of it, these iPhones wouldn't even fit the iPhone. Amateurs.

[James @ Dec 6th 2007 12:40AM]

It's just what I wanted!! OMFG HOW DID YOU KNOW!

[raerae @ Dec 5th 2007 6:52PM]

SWEET...they really reduced the size on these buggers!

[mushrooshi @ Dec 5th 2007 6:50PM]

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.

[finnith @ Dec 5th 2007 8:34PM]

It's possible to skip the confirmation step if you actually make an account of Engadget.

[jimmyfinch @ Dec 5th 2007 8:35PM]

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...

[Tom @ Dec 5th 2007 10:40PM]

Ummm... I DO have an account.

[matthew @ Dec 6th 2007 12:27AM]

if you can't figure out how to add one post at a time, at least make them worth reading

[Homeboy @ Dec 5th 2007 6:56PM]

That must be the rumored Apple invisible. So tiny you can't see it.

[J5892 @ Dec 5th 2007 6:58PM]

They could have at least made them compatible with the real iPhone.
Look at the size of the rubber around that audio jack.

[frappe987 @ Dec 6th 2007 6:13PM]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........r.u.b.b.e.r..........

[ipodmacman @ Dec 5th 2007 7:01PM]

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.

[Kalen @ Dec 5th 2007 7:01PM]

But are they unlocked?

[darren @ Dec 5th 2007 7:05PM]

I'm not surprised. Canada has everything you can imagine, and then some.

[tom @ Dec 5th 2007 8:40PM]

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

[CraigJ @ Dec 5th 2007 10:02PM]

Yeah - The Pacific Mall rocks. Anything you want. (and a lot you don't!)

[Dahk @ Dec 5th 2007 11:07PM]

Canada still lacks cheap data plans =/.

[nd @ Dec 6th 2007 11:21AM]

Northern North America rocks!

[Akshat @ Dec 5th 2007 7:05PM]

Best five word posting. Ever

[Jhongerkong @ Dec 5th 2007 7:28PM]

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Dec 5th 2007 8:51PM]

Jenkins: psst! they rae not APPLE iphones idiot.
Bob: go to hell jenkins

[eidorian @ Dec 5th 2007 7:57PM]

These are so old. In Dollar stores everywhere!

[Kyle @ Dec 6th 2007 12:11AM]

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.

[paul34 @ Dec 5th 2007 7:15PM]

Amazing, digital earphones! What a revolution! I wonder what digital sound must sound like?

[kev @ Dec 5th 2007 10:54PM]

Monotonic square waves? :P

[Mindfield @ Dec 5th 2007 7:16PM]

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...

[Loonie @ Dec 5th 2007 7:16PM]

Ooooooooo, it says "digital"! '80s retro!

[kimatg @ Dec 5th 2007 7:41PM]

were there any analog earphones?

[Tom @ Dec 5th 2007 8:21PM]

@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.

[RC @ Dec 5th 2007 8:03PM]

Someone is begging for an Apple lawsuit...

[frank @ Dec 5th 2007 7:53PM]

FYI these were in dollar stores before Apple ever mentioned their iPhones

[sachax @ Dec 5th 2007 7:34PM]

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

[js @ Dec 5th 2007 7:24PM]

Comwave lawyers, attack!

By the way, isn't XBS trademarked by Panasonic?

[Matthew Hilario @ Dec 5th 2007 7:24PM]

holla for a dolla!

[rv @ Dec 5th 2007 8:37PM]

Hollla!

Please send the check soon :)

[Jhongerkong @ Dec 5th 2007 7:26PM]

Check out how cool I am! Im using iPhones on my iPhone and...oh, wait...

DAMN RECESSED HEADPHONE JACKS!!!!

[voisine @ Dec 5th 2007 7:30PM]

That's $1 canadian, which at current exchange rates is $399 US.

[Al Menezes @ Dec 5th 2007 10:02PM]

you really should check the exchange rates.....

[TeddyN @ Dec 5th 2007 7:39PM]

Ouch, lmao :D

[Aaron @ Dec 5th 2007 8:03PM]

The US dollar has a cent on the Canadian dollar right now.

[Larz @ Dec 5th 2007 9:06PM]

1 cent. That's all? A few years back it was 2 canuks per buck.

[Dan @ Dec 5th 2007 9:05PM]

Not the best time to make a Canadian Currency joke...

[James @ Dec 6th 2007 12:47AM]

Your mom.




(Yes, I went there..)

[webon @ Dec 5th 2007 7:45PM]

nice way to catch some readers, ha!

[Piers Rippey @ Dec 5th 2007 7:56PM]

Yeah, but still no 3G.

[TA @ Dec 5th 2007 9:34PM]

No, but this one already reached it's 3rd generation model. Comes with more memory and even better UI.
