These Earphones are the 2nd generation style iPod earphones/headphone, which are the current style shipping with all the latest iPods. They are compatible with all iPod models and will work with all other MP3 players with the standard 3.5mm audio jack. These are ideal to make it look like you own an iPod. Ok, so judging by the price you can tell these aren't the genuine Apple earphones which retail for over $60. Instead these are incredibly good replicas. We've vigorously tested these and can confirm that there is absolutely no difference in sound or build quality in these earphones compared with the Apple ones.
