Noise-canceling earbuds are good and all...but I don't like using them because of the in-line module. If someone could make the module smaller than I'd be sold. Course regardless of the module size the headphones are still good for plane rides and stuff...I just mean I don't like to use them regularly.
BTW Did anyone else notice that this and the previous posts were all posted at 7 pm? Site glitch or just quick posting? :P
Considering that the module uses a(n) AAAA battery, I can't imagine it's all that large.
Me, I'm in for a pair of these. I love earbuds and noise-cancelling headphones, but have never (until now) been able to get them both in the same unit. $60 seems a wee bit steep at first, but if they work they're worth it. (That's the key--my most recent set of noise-canceling phones from RCA only block mid-range frequencies, so they're hardly worth using. But the Sonys died after just 2 plane trips and I won't pay $100+ for Koss.)
I have always had the idea. Why cant the circuitry be embedded in the iPod!!! Then (a) no need to charge headphones and (b) no big dongle.
New iPods have line in, i think Apple and Bose should team up and put that line in to good and make software noise canceling. I don't see why it wouldnt work?
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Meant to say "then" not "than"...didn't catch that when I first read it for some reason.

Never mind the noise do they have a Sarah Palin setting?
