I got this to use the microphone feature along with the earphones that came with my iPod touch 8GB 2nd generation. It works great. The device plugs into the iPod and the earphones plug into the device. That’s it.
There is a volume slider on the side of the device and that is not pictured; so, if there is no sound or if the sound is low, just slide the bar all the way in the opposite direction.
The sliver button causes the iPod to play whatever song or audio file you currently have selected.
The microphone quality is just fine. I did a test call using Skype and I could hear myself just fine.
Excellent device for the price.

This is the second external mic and switch I have bought for my iPhone and Bose in-ear headphones. The first one had the jack on the plug, and I had two wires running together to the separate mic and switch, with the earphone wires continuing on (much longer). This proved somewhat difficult to keep streight and untangled, and forced me to run the earphone wires around the back of my neck to keep them from dragging the mic/switch off my shirt collar. It also was a fairly large protrusion from the top of the iPhone, an opportunity to damage the earphone jack on the iPhone by accidentally hitting against the fairly large plug assembly.
This product takes the ‘inline’ approach, i.e., the jack is at the end of the wire with the switch and mic. I think it would have been much better if the jack was on the same side as the incoming wire to the iPhone, but instead it is on the opposite side, so the earphone wire continues on in the opposite direction from the iPhone wire. Considering how this is used (clip to your shirt), it would have made mroe sense to have both wires leaving the mic/switch unit in the same direction, but it is workable the way it is, and I like it better than the parrallel wire approach.
A critical issue is sound quality for the mic. It has great audio quality – better than the standard earphone set that comes with the iPhone. It also has a volume control ont the side. This is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because you can quickly reduce volume without taking the iPhone out of your pocket. A curse, because if you forget you have the volumne down in the mic/switch unit, you will be wasting power by boosting volume on the iPhone. It is easy to imagine forgetting you have the volume reduced, or even accidentally reducing the volume (or even turning it off completely) and then wondering what is wrong with your iPhone. It would have been great if Apple allows you to remotely control volume, but then, that would require plugging into the larger connector at the bottom of the iPhone.
If you decide you get better headphones for your iPhone because you want better sound, or even if you just want better voice quality for your phone calls (you can plug in your Apple earphones and use them with this product), this is a good choice.

Since this seems to be a relatively new item, I want to add to the list of positive experiences. Voice memos, Shazam and Dragon Dictation all work perfectly on my iPod Touch. Haven’t tried Skype yet.

the clarity of the headphones and the ease of use of the mic make this a great product especially for the low price!

This mic is over and above excellent! works GREAT for ipod touch 2g! I highly recommend it if your looking for a mic that does it all- (shazam, calling people, voice memos) everything! If I could I’d give it 20 stars, good work!
