I'm going to stop buying these earphones. The cables are relatively sensitive and prone to cable breakage. (One completely defective, the other spins a listener.) In addition, the audio quality is compared to Sony Ericsson in-ears relative dam ..... oaths.
Since I have an iPod Touch 3 Gen I was dependent on these headphones because it has no built-in microphone. Meanwhile, there are better alternatives to cable Remote and Mic.
