The HF3 is the next generation of the multi-award-winning HF2 noise isolating headset. The hf3 headset adds a 3-button remote control to a Made-for-iPod/Made for iPhone/Made for iPad version of the hf2 while maintaining all the design features, exceptional noise isolation and audio clarity of the hf2. The hf3 is designed to work with iPhone, iPad and all current iPod models.

The main difference between the hf2 and hf3 is the added benefit of volume control. The hf3 features a 3-button remote control pod with a close-in proximity in-line microphone that makes it easy for iPhone users to pause music to engage in phone conversations, and for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad users to adjust volume and navigate through music tracks while in motion or on the go.

ACCU-Fit features provide best-in-class fit and comfort, with four noise-isolating eartips included and a small form factor for easy insertion into ears of all sizes. The hf3's attractive, sub-$200 price level puts it within reach of consumers who care about sound quality, and its choice of three soft-touch colors add a dash of style.

Local Prices:

Apple Store - $240
Headphones.com.au - $189
Minidisc.com.au - $189
Ebay.com - $150

More than half price compared to the Apple Store!

Just bought a set for myself, after reading the reports about the link between mobile use and brain cancer.

These provide exceptional noise isolation - perfect for commuting or flying.

  I was recently looking at the etymotic headphones

  The HF3 is only useful if you have an apple product
  The HF2 is mainly useful if you have an older apple product however it works with some non apple products.
  The HF5 has no microphone so works with everything.

  Taking away the microphone there is no difference between the HF2, 3 and 5

  If you want to save some money you might also want to look at the newer MC series. They apparently have a better build quality and also have a different way of making sound which i have read is nearly as good or better than the HF headphones.
  The MC headphones are also cheaper.

    And an incline mic/remote.

    You must think the stock apple earphones sound amazing.

    I mean Apple charge more than double the price for these!

    As long as you are signed in you can normally see if it will be delivered to you

    If you look where it says

    In Stock.
    Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available.

    Underneath that is will have something which says

    Want it delivered

    If it has a date then Amazon will send it to you.

    If amazon will not send it to you then it will say that they can not deliver it yo you.
