Nice....any reviews on the device itself?

If it's ear piece is anything like the iPod headphones it's gonna suck big time. I just dont trust Apple's headphones as they haven't produced a useable one starting with the original iPod all the way up to the iPhone.

tom's hardware gave the iphone headphones a positive review. i haven't tried them (i use shures).

i think it's impossible to make headphones that make everyone happy.

It's just for calls though and doesn't really need to be audiophile quality. I don't like the iPod headphones for music but they've fine for spoken word (IMO).

I'm not talking about audio quality i'm speaking more about the fit in an ear. I use shures and they fit great because they have multiple sleeves so they can be used by different sized ears... I havent met a single person who says the iPod earbuds fit them...

My wife loves the iphone earbuds. She was all worried they'd change the ipod ones.

Yes, having interchangeable sleeves will always allow earbuds to fit more people. I love shures and ultimate ears.

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. The new iPod ones fit me fine but the old ones didn't.

Does anyone have information as to whether the iPhone will support A2DP for wireless stereo?

My theory is that it will..... the second Apple releases their own stereo bluetooth headset.

A2dp

Maybe the hackers will get to it first Seems crazy they didn't include it.

Could be, the hardware is there it just isnt active.
