iPhone handsfree with Mic is know to be delicate and most users end up with non functional or damaged iPhone headset within months. So if you are one of those who decides to give the iPhone headset with mic a skip due to the pricing, you would surely consider going for an iPod earphones (without Mic) to continue the quality music atleast!
Yes the iPod earphones works just perfect with the iPhone and the iPhone 3G. And costs half of what an original iPhone handsfree would cost! In Mumbai a iPod earphone is available for Rs 750 approx (Original) while an original iPhone handsfree would cost over Rs 1500.
