AHAHAAHAH...

Next they will make the iPod shuffle with iPod connector headphones and everyone will have to adapt... and the blogs will say "BEST IDEA YET"

AHAHAHAH!!!!!]]>Mar 12th 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/
These are proprietary headphones you twit!

You cant use your existing ones, you have to pony up 50+ dollars for new ones if you dont want the stock Apple buds, on top of the price for the damn player.

Without them, you CANT CONTROL THE BLASTED THING!]]>Mar 12th 2009 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Mar 12th 2009 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Mar 12th 2009 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Mar 12th 2009 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Mar 12th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/

Fair enough.]]>Mar 12th 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/
In some respects I have the same issue with an "old" 5g iPod that I keep in an internal, zipped, pocket of my hiking jacket. Having the controls on the headphones would be a boon. Given this I am prepared to give Apple some slack on this issue as long as they are going to continue with support for these headphone controls on all new models of iPod.

Still, I'm less convinced that a display is a bad idea. With the original iPod Shuffle and its low capacity I'd have argued until I was blue in the face that it didn't need a display. However, not that the capacity is about the same as the old iPod Mini and that it now supports "complex" features like playlists, I'm thinking that a display is necessary. I have no doubt that the voice system works but it sounds like a lot of hassle for something that should be quick and easy.]]>Mar 12th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Blindness or people who love playlist will be ok with voice over but, to me, it's a sort of waste of time ---> aka: I already know what I'm listen to :) Anyway I think I'll buy one of these :)]]>Mar 12th 2009 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/

Surprise, surprise, people ready to bitch at Apple, but if you want to upgrade, do so, if you don't then you don't care for sound quality and get a swishy music player. Simple. If you don't want one, don't buy it. Engadget commenters seem to forget this a lot. 99% of the stuff posted here I don't want, so I don't comment on it, let alone buy it.

Made for iPod guarantees compatible accessories within days of release.]]>Mar 12th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Mar 12th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/Mar 12th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/
The current Nano and Touch also work with these earbuds, they just don't require them. So they can be used with cheap headphones, big headphones or even just plug them into the aux in jack on your car stereo. The new shuffle can't do any of these things.]]>Mar 12th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/12/so-it-begins-klipsch-scosche-unveil-voiceover-compatible-ipod/
