 Great Product October 25, 2008
Spazzyben
This is a great product for controlling the songs on the ipod touch. Really quick and easy to change track, change volume and pause. The only downside is the earphone link downgrades the quality of the music. You can get past this by just plugging your earphones straight into the ipod touch itself. Really recommend this product to anyone looking for an ipod touch remote.
Does exactly what it says on the tin December 12, 2008

I bought this remote about a couple of weeks ago out of necessity. I have a first generation iPod touch 32gb a fantastic piece of kit with the fatal flaw of no external buttons. A fault that's easily solved with the above depicted device. Only a couple of gripes with it thus far, the first being something I don't think can be rectified in that you need to wake your iPod manually instead of using the remote to do so if it's not been turned on in a while. This can be a bit of a pain as I stow mine in my jeans pocket more often than not and if I'm wearing a long coat it's a bit of a pig to get to. I think this is more to do with the workings of the iPod than the remote though. The other problem seems to be a common one in that plugging decent head/earphones into the remote itself significantly reduces sound quality. I have Bose QC3s and also Bose earphones (the QC3s are a bit bulky for the gym) and so, a reduction of sound quality would positively waste hundreds of pounds. It's easily remedied however by plugging the earphones directly into the iPod jack. I took it a step further by cutting off the earphone plug on the remote since, being surplus to requirements, it annoyed me.
I not only think this is a great and cheap purchase, but a necessary one for iPod Touch owners! It looks just like a previous iPod model remote except that the silver facade is plastic not metal unlike the real one however, I draw your attention to the price with that observation. No more faffing about in the cold, taking off gloves and sliding the screen to unlock every time you want to do something as simple as changing track or adjusting volume. The remote takes care of all that and also, for iPod owners concerned about their MP3 player getting stolen, you can now hide it under layers of clothing and still have all your preferences to hand.
 Useful device, but sound degradation issues with loopthrough October 4, 2008

It does what it says on the tin, in that it provides a remote control unit for the Ipod Touch. If you've ever travelled with a Touch then you know it is a bit of a torturous routine to change tracks and adjust volume. With this device you can keep your Touch hidden way while you control operations (volume, ff, rw, pause, place) using the remote control, which has a handy pocket/tie clip.
Sadly what would have otherwise been a 5 star device is let down by noticeable sound degration if you choose to loop your headphones through it. Among other things the device introduces a slight echo into the music and degrades low/high tones. The degradation seems much more noticeable with top range noise cancelling headphones such as Bose QC3. You can get around this by plugging your headphones directly into the Touch, rather than looping through the device.
3 stars awarded due to the sound degradation.
