iPhone remote/mic earphones FAIL with sweat

Nice... the premier workout device in the world has a set of earphones that do not tolerate moisture.

see this thread

http://store.apple.com/us/reviews/MB...rs=lowestRated

also a segment of an email I wrote to Steve Jobs

With my 3GS iPhone I have to carry a second set of earphones. The ipod touch ones work in sweat as do the 3G ones with the mic that does not have the volume control or remote control.

Too bad as this is a sweet piece of equipment.

Take a look at this

http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-2568.aspx

no mention of moisture issues on the front page

but in the features tab is this

http://screencast.com/t/tgeC4bETPDI

how did TESCO get this information and why is it concealed from loyal apple customers

also....not working with moisture is a bug not a feature.

:-)

I am sure you are working on a fix for this now. I feel sorry for the shuffle users who bought this to work out and found their controls do not work.

When is the replacement going to be in stores for the no charge exchange?

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Hmmm. Good read, OP. I do not experience this problem with my earpiece. This is wierd. Send your earpiece to Apple for a check. Could be a defective component inside.
