Scosche IDR655m

Scosche IDR655m Earphones Review

It's no great secret that the hands-free kit Apple include in with the iPhone 4 isn't much cop when it comes to audio performance, and that's left plenty of room for third-party offerings promising aural loveliness at a range of prices. With an MRSP of $99.99 but a street price under $50, the Scosche IDR655m earphones promise “brilliant highs, silky smooth mids and powerful bass” together with the company's tapLINE II control system. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut. In the box are the IDR655m earphones themselves, a choice of single- and double-flanged silicone earbuds in three sizes, a clip to pin the cable to your shirt or coat, and a travel pouch for when they're not plugged into your iPhone. There's a standard 3.5mm plug, so the audio and microphone will potentially work on non-iPhone handsets, but you probably won't get the extra control functions Scosche bake in. That's a shame, as tapLINE II is half of what makes the IDR655m earphones special. The in-line control block has buttons for volume and play/pause or answering calls, but double-clicking the middle button skips the track forward and triple-clicking flicks back to the previous track.
