Designed in Sweden as the first officially-branded "Made for iPad" earphones we've received, NOCS' NS200 Earphones with Remote and Mic ($TBD) are a sequel to a same-named but different-looking, different-featured product released two years ago. The new NS200 combines metal canalphones with a three-button in-line remote dangling from the right cord. NS200's earphone housings are made from machined aluminum with silicone rubber tips -- four sets are bundled, plus a shirt clip -- while the cables have Kevlar reinforcement and the remote box has a stylish set of three unmarked circles for volume, track, and calling control. NOCS pitches them as "heavy bass" earphones with dynamic speakers, and includes a nice, small carrying case with each set. All-black and half-silver, half-white versions are available; our samples were all-black. U.S. pricing has not been announced.
