Apple’s In-Ear iPhone Headset…

Turns out to double nicely as a headset for your Mac! How sweet! Just got myself the in-ear iPhone headset today, and plugged it into my Macbook to listen to some music. I accidentally fiddled with the controls on the headset cord, and lo-and-behold, they actually worked for adjusting volume and play/pause/skip controls. Turns out, the little microphone in the headset is also recognized and connected to the Mac when plugged in, so it doubles as a full headset for Skype/iChat/whatever, even though it’s only plugged into the headphone port. Pure genius.
