The lanyard works as advertised. I use it daily. My only complaint is that the white cord gets dirty.

These are a knock off of the original Apple product. As one of the other reviewers said, the rope is not thick enough to engage the plastic slider clips so the lanyard will slip to the most extended position if you do not tape or otherwise fix their position.


That said, for use at the gym, bicycling, or winding through the supermarket these things are great. No cords dangling, iPod hanging securely at your chest where it is easy to get to the controls to change a playlist or adjust the volume. The audio quality is not as good as my Bose ear buds but is acceptable for my purposes and the buds have the same rubberized edges as the Apple earpieces to keep them firmly in your ear.

At $10 a pair, buy several--they are not that durable (but neither were the Apple originals at $30/set)--and consider them a good, disposable accessory.

I'm going to give this one a try. I've had two Apple lanyard's and both of those have stopped working. $40 from Apple seems expensive. (Maybe that wouldn't be so if Apple was clear about its environmental and labor practices...)
GREAT concept, I have my iPod loaded with podcasts and credit it with keeping me up-to-date on all sorts things I'm interested in.

Good news: I love these. They are so convenient to wear when I want to listen to my iPod, whatever I'm doing.

Bad news: They keep breaking! My first pair lasted about 3 months. The second lasted maybe 5 months. The wire comes loose from the covering with extended, normal use.

I'm not buying them again. I'd love to use lanyard headphones, but they have to be built to last. Let me know if any of you find any that last well.

These are a cheap knock off and not what is pictured by the seller. The cord slips and the sound is inferior to the product that Apple once sold. But that was a generation ago, so, oh well.
