Volume controls don't work with the iphone though, what a bummer. Anyone plan on picking these up?

Yeah sure, I'll get a pair to go with that $899 monitor that doesn't work with my 13" White Macbook 😀

It looks like neither the volume controls nor the mic works with the iPhone...I hope I jut read the spec sheet wrong, cause that would be awful. I was looking to pick up a new set of headphones w/ iPhone support (mic, volume, track playback, etc) so I guess it won't be these.

Mic works, just the volume controls don't

Are there any headphones out currently that satisfy these requirements?
 
Are there any indepth reviews out yet. My UE super.fi 4vi are dying and I don't know where my receipt is to get an RMA............ might just get a pair for 79

Nothing really too indepth yet (or from any audio review site), but Engadget liked them;

We've been wanting to get some extended face time with Apple's In-Ear Headphones (yes, that's the product name) ever since we spied them at the company's Fall "Let's Rock" event. Of course, they didn't exactly hit the scene on time, and we were starting to get suspicious. Tack on the rumor they wouldn't be compatible with iPhones, and we felt downright indignant. Imagine our surprise, then, at the discovery that they not only sound really, really good (warm lows and crisp highs, a distinct lack of that modern, pushy mid-range), but they do work with the iPhone (the 3G we've got here, at least). Regular playback is a charm, and we had no problem making and receiving calls with the buds and attached mic -- though strangely the remote doesn't seem operable on the phone, thus deflating our excitement ever-so-slightly. Regardless, the sound quality is pretty boss for the price (besting other, more expensive models we've checked out), and they're a huge step up from Apple's previous offerings. Check out some looks at the beauties in the gallery below.

Update: It looks like the remote can be used for answering and ending calls on the iPhone, as well as pausing, playing, and advancing tracks. No volume control though -- very odd!

You'd think it would work, but this is Apple we're talking about (😉). Until I see it work with my own eyes on my own device I'm a skeptic. But the Engadget review looks good.
 
I was thinking of getting these for my iPod Touch... but I have a 1st gen so the volume controls etc don't work. Lame.
