Product Description
These earbud-style headphones rely on Neodymium transducers, a rare earth magnet that significantly enhances frequency response and overall sound quality - in fact, five times as powerful as other headphones that use aluminum, cobalt, or ceramic drivers. M8751G/A's wired remote lets you fast-forward, rewind, play/pause, and control the volume with four simple buttons. The Hold switch allows you to lock your iPod remote so buttons can't be pressed accidentally. Clip the remote to your lapel, shirt, or collar for easy access. The iPod Remote and Earphones set work with any iPod models.

 Works great for me January 17, 2005
For me this has been an iPod essential. I use the remote always.
The remote has been so handy. I can easily access the volume, which I'm always adjusting in seems, depending on the track playing. I can skip tracks, rewind, pause, and turn the iPod on and off.
I can have my iPod in my messenger bag and clip the remote on the strap. Or have my iPod in my jeans pocket and clip the remote to my coat. The hold switch on my iPod is on, of course, so that no buttons are accidentally pressed on the iPod itself.
I've used my current remote for over a year and have never had any problems. It still works perfectly. Then again, I take care of it. Just reasonable care that it not get crushed, wet, or broken.
The design is stunning. Simple and impressive. Looks very sleek and nice. A very attractive remote... shows the world you listen with style.
 Poorly made! October 8, 2004

I really don't recommend this remote. If you have to have the convenience of using the remote and don't mind spending $80 - $120 for continually replacing the poorly made device. Then go ahead. It's been 4 months for me, and I have to buy a new one. First, 2 months ago, the little switch broke off. Then after learning never to lock the remote, the cord slowly starts to tear from the base where it connects into the ipod. Ok. Then finally after just ignore the little kinks, it starts to send little electrically sparks from the headphones into my ear. I've had enough and now I have to go about purchasing a new one. So don't recommend, unless you like spending money on the same product over, and over, and over again!
 Perfect for people who don't actually want a good remote September 30, 2004

Love the iPod. hate the remote.
after 2 years, mine finally broke for good. It had a habit of splitting open for some reason.
My complaint is the general design - that clip.. it barely works unless you are clipping it to thin material. After 2 years of trying to get it to stay on my bag's strap or my jacket lapel, I am frustrated.
I am surprised that no one has produced a better version of it.
Watch out for the connection September 28, 2004

When I first received this, I really loved it. I use a hard case for my iPod, and it was inconvenient to keep lifting the lid to use the controls. It was about a week, though, when the cord cover by the connector started breaking. Since then, I've had to re-enforce the connector several times, and currently have a plastic casing over it with some tape to keep it in place. Not worth the price since it breaks so easily.
Good design, but didn't find it too useful September 15, 2004

This remote is mostly for outdoor use - very good to navigate the iPod while it is tucked inside your pocket, mostly with the keypad put on hold. Would have been great if the remote was wireless. It is not very useful indoors since you have to get near the iPod to operate the remote - you might as well put your fingers on the iPod itself.
This used to come free with the 3G iPods, along with the leather case (that's how I got it!). I hardly use it since I have a wireless remote (NaviPod).
Looks like it has been designed to work well with the Apple iPod carrying case. This is because, with the Apple case, there is no way to access the iPod controls when the iPods is inside the case. This remote has all the controls (except that we can't see the display), and a hold button on the side. It also has a simple clip to fasten it to your clothes.
If your habit is to put a long playlist and play it while jogging, working out etc., this remote could be useful.
