These things are awsome. When placed in the ears correctly, the sound is great.

I even use them while riding on my motorcycle (one ear only), which gets very loud, and i can hear my music just fine. Its great.

The mic is really good but super sensitive. It says it drowns out ambiant sound but it really does not, it picks everything up very loud. But it is far better than the provided iphone headset.

They are also very comfortable. Probably the most comfy in-ear headset i’ve ever owned. I leave them in for hours listening to music and it doesnt hurt my ears at all.

All in all, for $99 its a great buy.

Oh iPhone how I love thee, let me count the ways

There is large debates floating around about whether or not the pwnage tool is necessary.

Until Apple make the application approval process better and more defined and stop unnecessary restrictions on applications, the pwnage will need to continue.

There are three applications currently on Cydia that I deem indispensable to my day to day on my iPhone.

1. Intelliscreen: this program is an absolute necessity on the iPhone.  So much that I’m surprised Apple didn’t include something like it. On you lock screen it shows a snippet of you calendar, email, sms, weather, sports and news. You can configure it any way you want.
2. Mcleaner: I don’t answer calls if the number is not in my address book.  This little puppy of a software automates that for me so i don’t get the annoyance. It is fully configurable and will filter out anything you don’t want to see.
3. Boss Prefs: This is one of the handiest iPhone programs allowing me to easilly turn on or off wifi, 3g or edge (along with any mail account, ssh access and anything i configure). Much easier than having to flip through three screens to get to the preferences to do it.

There are a couple others that i love but these three are something that the iphone needs to have and cannot be in the appstore because of the restrictions of not having background programs running.
