Apple remote control for third-party headphones

For those who can't wait for headphone manufacturers to incorporate iPhone or iPod remote control units, help is on hand with the iLuv iEA15 adapter.
The iEA15 is an in-line remote that's compatible with iPhones and iPods, including the third-generation iPod shuffle which doesn't have any physical buttons on the unit. The in-line remote supports the VoiceOver feature found on the shuffle as well, but what makes this interesting is that it allows you to plug in any headphone you fancy to your Apple device and still have the convenience of a remote control.

This adapter works for the second-generation iPod touch, fourth-generation iPod nano and the iPod classic as well. It's a solution if you want some control over your music and aren't willing to shell out for a better pair of S$128 (US$102.84) Apple in-ear headphones to replace the bundled ones, especially when there are many better models in the market today for the same price.
No official price has been announced yet, but we'll keep you updated.
