Yes, I saw them; but didn't get a chance to listen to them. The rubber ear buds come in different sizes (I believe 3) and the rubber is REAL soft; like almost not noticeable. Apple rep. said something like same style of compounds as used in contact lenses. The case is rather bulky (if you were to carry them around in it); it holds the ear buds, 2 sets of different size ear pieces, and the cord wraps around outside. one nice advantage of the different size ear pieces that I see is possibility of more than one person using the ear buds with different ear pieces. or possibility of trading unused ear pieces for a second set of your size steve >On Jan 9, 2004, at 2:22 PM, Simon Meyer wrote: > >>has anyone had a chance to test out the new in ear iPod headphones? >> >>Simon > >Yes, they're really good. > >-Oz > -- Steve Houlton Technical Specialist nanonation.net
