Let's face facts. Apple's iPhone earbuds are less than mediocre. There are some higher quality alternatives, but I'd rather use my own custom made Ultimate Ears. Monster has answered my iPhone audiophile prayers with their $20 iSoniTalk. Its jack has an added 3.5mm jack to plug in your own headphones, then there are clips along the iSoniTalk cable to attach your headphone jacks. iSoniTalk ends with a mic/switch hook clip and your own headphones just continue up to your ears. Oh, just look at the picture. When it's all hooked together, iSoniTalk, your headphones and iPhone combine to make a beautiful noise, music or voice.
