Mine is barely 2-month old and the control is already giving me a headache. It started in one of my runs when the voice-over just kept on repeating the song details, maxxed out the volume on its own, and volume control was jammed. Many days have passed, the control is intermmitently operational and gives me the same trouble. Im planning to go back to the store where I bought for replacement of earphones. Apple should review this product. I have the same problem now with my 3rd Gen Shuffle. Mine is barely 2-month old and the control is already giving me a headache.

I use my 3rd gen shuffle everytime I exercise and I specifically bought it to use while exercising because of its small size and handy clip (which I'm guessing alot of like-minded exercisers thought also). I sweat alot and the first few times I used it the ear phone controls stopped working but they'd dry out within a few hours and start working again fine. Now they've stopped working all together. Grr I'm not happy with Apple, especially because I tried to get the 2nd gen before buying this one and couldn't find it anywhere. I certainly won't be buying another set of their headphones, especially at $40. They're design and quality control teams really stuffed up with this one. Looks like the belkin adaptor is the way to go, it's cheap and clips into the ipod so the controls aren't near the face, which probably makes sweat less likely to get in. As a precaution I'll be carefully wrapping it with cling wrap and tape first anyways so thanks heaps!! Thanks for the tip!

Although if you're going to use it regularly during workouts, better invest on good earphones for this one. Yup, it’s still working fine after I removed the wrap.
