#3Not sure how well this will work when someone wraps their old hard drive based iPod (or brand new iPod classic) and wipes some bits on the drive...

#4What about the quality of the headphones?
For me that's the main problem of Apple headphones: they are utter crap in terms of sound quality.
Another problem I could see: you add weight to the chord which will make the headphones more likely to fall from the ear, that's a big deal if you do sports with it.

#5This just isn't a big enough issue for me to move away from high quality sound.
ps: it's pretty sweet how this problem belongs to Apple. If headphones are Apple's biggest product problem, it's because their headphones suck, not because the cords get tangled.

The weight issue is a good point. It's also an issue if you have them hanging from your ears for hours. I would think it'll begin to hurt sooner.

These headphones are the standard issue Apple headphones but we could release a higher quality headphone with the same magnetic cord. As for the weight, the magnets are so small they make it only slightly heavier, about the weight of a quarter. From our testing there is not much difference. The magnets secure the split cable under your chin so they stay in place while running.

That is a good point. We do not recommend using these with those models as the magnets would cause problems.

We could easily introduce a high quality version. It sounds like that is what you guys want, so that is what we will do!
