t3ch Review: Griffin Smart Talk iPod/iPhone Mic Adapter

Product: Griffin Smart Talk iPod/iPhone Mic Adapter

What it says it does: Offer you the same functionality that the current default Apple earbuds come packaged in with; Be able to toggle your iPod controls with the touch of a button, and also use the built in microphone to answer calls without having to unplug your non-Apple headphones

About: Urbanears is the offspring of parent company Zound Industries. Based in Swedan, their head gear could be likened to art instead of just gadgetry.

Fun Fact: The three headphones in Urbanears’ current line are named after cities in Sweden: Tanto, Medis, and Plattan
