I'wz wonder'n when they'd perfect this.

It'd be even cooler if we could run them the other way as a wireless mic/pre/bluetooth tansmitter to the recorder (that looks like a cell phone - no wires) in pocket.

I'd feel like an ass wearing those.

I think it would be cool if you could wear the receiver as a necklace (like the nano style necklace) or something small like the new iPod shuffle that could clip to your shirt or jacket, and then have regular size Ety's in your ears. That would be great for me for skiing.

What I'm really waiting for is a high quality stereo wireless in the ear earphone with a little mic so I can listen to my iPod wirelessly AND answer my phone (with auto muting of the iPod). That would kick ass.

It's also the critical time to do this because the older recordings are really deteriorating.

Doesn't look all that comfortable, with the block resting on the front / bottom of the ear.  I think I'd rather have a setup with the reciever hooked behind the ear, with a short cable to snake the 'phone forward into the ear.  Interesting, nonetheless.

Yeah, the iPhone looks super cool, and I really wanted one last week, but now that I think about it I'd rather just keep my old phone and tape my 4GB iPod to it! $500 is a bit steep for a phone.

I'm sure what I want will come out sooner than later.

I bet they are not that bad.

btw, the new favorite in ear bud (my favorite) is the M-Audio nugget.
sounds amazing.  I liked them better than my ER4s.
