The iPhone comes with a set of Apple earbuds, complete with a combination button and microphone that lets you pick up and hang up the phone, pause iPod tracks, or even move to the next iPod track via a double-click. But what if you'd prefer to use your own favorite pair of headphones, rather than Apple's?
The answer is to buy an iPhone headphone adapter, offering an iPhone-compatible mini plug on one end and a button and microphone on the other end, along with a place to plug in whatever headphones (or speakers, or cassette adapters -- basically anything with a mini plug) you might have, as well as a clip to attach it to some part of your clothing close enough to your mouth to pick up your end of the conversation.
I tested five different adapters:
-- Griffin Technology's US$20 SmartTalk
-- Shure's $50 Music Phone Adapter MPA-3C
-- Boom Bags' $20 iJack
-- Newer Technology's $15 Mic Extender Cable
-- FastMac's $14 iPhone Adapter w/ Mic
