When is someone going to make a pair of traditional headphones with a built in remote? I don’t want something that goes in my ear and I don’t want giant studio cans. Just a plain old headphone… with a remote.
How has this not happened yet? I don’t get it?

Now that the Nano/iPhone/iPod Touch all have Bluetooth, I’d like to see more lightweight wireless earphones come on the market. Especially for sport activities, wires can get in the way.
