Sony has announced two new ‘Made for iPod’ earphones which allow you to take calls at the touch of a button.
Both types include an in-line series of controls including volume, play/pause, FWD and RWD, as well as an integrated microphone that allows you to take a call without removing the earphones.
They’re compatible with iPod Shuffle (3rd gen), iPod Nano (4th, 5th gens); iPod Classic 120GB/160GB (2009); iPod Touch (2nd gen) and iPhone 3GS.
The MDR-EX300iP (pictured) is the fancier pair and includes 13.5mm Neodymium drivers and four different sizes of earbud. Available in black, there’s also a leather carry case for protection when you’re on the move.
The MDR-E10iP comes in a choice of pink, gold, blue or grey, designed to match the most popular iPod colours, and ‘soft ear-pads’ that claim to be ‘a great fit for smaller ears’.
Both will be available from May though there’s no word yet on price.
