iPod Remote & Earphones by Apple Computer


This package includes a wired remote control. You connect the remote’s cable into the Headphones and Remote ports on the iPod. Then, you connect an output device, such as headphones, into the Headphones port on the control. The control includes Play/Pause, Fast-forward, and Rewind buttons along with a Volume control. It also includes a clip that you can use to attach it to your clothing. Installing the remote is no harder than connecting headphones is. You simply plug it in, connect an output device, and clip the remote in a convenient location. This control is ideal when you are wearing your iPod in a case because you usually can’t see its controls very well. You can place your iPod in its case and then clip the remote to a convenient location so you can easily control the iPod.

List Price: $39
Pros: Simple installation; clipping on the remote makes it easy to use; the remote’s buttons are easy to understand and use; the Volume control is better than using the Scroll pad or Click Wheel on the iPod to change volume; works with the iPod and iPod mini.
Cons: When using this unit, you have a lot of cable to manage because its wire is fairly long, and when you add headphones, you get even more cable to deal with.
