Fantastic,

This review is from: Apple iPod Lanyard Headphones for iPod nano 1G (Electronics)
I really like this lanyard alot. It solves 2 prolems I've always had with iPods... wire clutter and where to put the buds if I have to take them out of my ears.
There's no hanging cables tangling up or getting caught on things... everything is enclosed in the cord. The earphones protrude through the lanyard cord near the back of the neck, and when out of the ear, just hang, but with a short enough cable they don't get tangled up.
It's attached to the nano through the 30 pin connection on the bottom, and the headphone jack. I was concerned when I saw that it might not be a secure enough connection and the nano might become detached, but it's very strong and most likely won't come off under most circumstances.
The sound is okay. As far as I can tell, they use the same components for the buds as the ones provided with the nano. I know there are headphone elitists out there who turn their nose up at the Apple headphones, but they are actually pretty...Read more

These are part# MA093G/A -- Apple iPod Nano Lanyard Headphones for the 1st generation Nano ONLY.
For a new 2nd generation Nano, you need part# MA597G/A -- Apple iPod Nano Lanyard Headphones for the 2nd generation Nano ONLY.
The different Nano generations are different sizes and the lanyard connector are NOT interchangable.

Nano's are not protectively attached to this lanyard and can become lose and fall off! Even though EVERY time I had to release the lanyard to charge the nano it was impossible and very difficult to squeeze the side buttons on the plastic piece that connects into the dock connector, my nano simply decided to FALL OFF THIS THING AND NOW I HAVE NO NANO!!!
I wrote nice reviews on many sites about how much I love the Nano iPod. However, I used this EXPENSIVE accessory for keeping my nano around my neck. Because the nano is so small and slim, you hardly notice it there. And that is the problem! On a recent flight I had my nano attached to this lanyard. I had used this dozens of times at work, walking around, etc. with no problems. I walked around the airport for 2 hours. Sat on a plane for 1. In the last 10 minutes of the flight, I turned off my nano and that was the last time i saw it. It just FELL off the lanyard. I was so shocked and sad, too. $250 for the Nano...Read more
