Needs better earbuds 
2007-06-24
This is a good product that could be great with a few adjustments.
First of all, they should be absolutely clear that this only fits the 2nd generation Nano. This will not fit the 1G Nano (the one with the shiny metal back). Also, the earbuds they used are the earbuds that everyone hates. I wish they made this lanyard with the flexible rubber "In-Ear" headphones which fit perfectly. This is available for the 1G Nano, but not the 2G for some reason.
On the plus side, the lanyard is great for exercising. The part that goes around the neck is adjustable and you can run with it on without too much hassle (although I tend to tuck it in my shirt if I am running).
I tried using the Nano armband, but the headphone cables go all over the place when you have it on. Jogging on a treadmill with the armband is a nightmare. On the other hand, cable management is great with the lanyard. You barely notice the cables at all.
Best Headphones

I used it and found it's great. It's help me to carry on my Ipod easily. I love it.
Great for your 2nd Gen iPod Nano 2007-04-29
This is a pretty good item to have for your iPod Nano, 2nd generation. If you walk, do chores, or any other physical activity while you listen to your iPod this is for you.
Lanyard snaps securely into the iPod's dock and earphone connector and the adjustable strap goes around your neck. The all-in-one design includes the apple ear buds. I use it frequently when I do light chores around my Christmas tree farm.
My only complaint is really against the Apple earbuds themselves. They really have only adequate sound and they don't fit into your ears well. I would have given it 5 stars if you could use your own earphones with the lanyard or if Apple improved their earbud design and sound quality.
It is awesome! 2007-03-23

Love it! 2007-03-19
I absolutely LOVE this iPod lanyard!! It enables me to keep my hands free to do various activities and tasks while listening to my favorite music. The design also makes accessing my iPod dial very easy. I would highly recommend this product.
ipod lanyard w/earphones 2008-05-19

Not great but the best you can do for a 2G Nano 
2008-03-24
A good bit of my purchase decision for a Nano was based on seeing my friends with their 1G Nanos on lanyards like this. Based on the date of my purchase and my size needs, I ended up with the 8GB Black Nano 2G.
The lanyard itself is great. I've never had a problem with it coming disconnected unintentionally. It's stylish, especially when combined with a slick looking skin. It'd be nice if it came in black, but the ubiquitous Apple white isn't too shabby.
The earbuds are terrible, however. They do not fit my ears and cause my ears to hurt from the fit. It's practically standard these days for earbuds in this price range to come with multiple sized attachments, for fit customization, but Apple hasn't bothered with that feature for any of their earbuds yet. For the 1G Nano, you have the option of Griffin's TuneBud lanyard (if you can find it now that it's out of production), but for the 2G Nano, you're stuck with Apple's solution.
The only other 2G Nano lanyard option I've found (short of DIY) is the Rivet Grab case and lanyard combo, but that adds bulk and weight to the Nano, plus it doesn't work as well if you have a decorative skin on your Nano.
It seems like a no-brainer for Apple (or someone) to re-make this lanyard with a 3.5mm jack passthrough so that you could use your own headphones with it. Nonetheless, we're on 3G Nanos now, and there still hasn't been an improvement here. I still use this product, but only because there's nothing better out there.
Great idea, TERRIBLE quality! 
2008-03-22
Decided that the 4th replacement was the last. GREAT idea, but so poorly made that they only last about 4-6 months before they break (one side or the other looses sound.) Cheaply made, too fragile for constant use. Too bad Apple can't get these right. Maybe that's why they don't make them for the new 3G version! Wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so expensive to start out with!
Does Not Fit 3G 
2008-03-12
Unfortunately, this product does not fit the Ipod Nano 3g. It is not designed with the proper spacing. I don't know what generation it does fit, but it was certainly not made for my Ipod.
Very Poor Product 2007-08-03
Purchased lanyard worked for two weeks before one side failed. Very Disappointed do not reccommend 2nd generation lanyard at all.
