Today I got a Maximo iP-HS2 iMetal Isolation Headset for my iPhone. It was $36 from Buy.com and has the full functionality of Apple’s standard earbuds including a built-in microphone and call control button. Since this is an in-ear model, the sound quality is a lot better than Apple’s earbuds and it provides good noise isolation. I was able to listen in the gym at a comfortable 50% volume and still block out the music blasting from a boom box.
