Decent earphone for $20, no way for $60 
2008-09-25
So I've gone through 3 sets of these. First set cost me $10, second set cost me $20, third set $35. Each set I had has broken such that:
a. one earbud no longer works
b. mic button no longer works
c. cord snaps off at button
I'd be willing to continue to get this at the original price, 'cause I like the way they fit and the lanyard design is very convenient, but $60 is way outrageous for a product that is just ok.
Broke after a couple of months 
2008-07-21
I really liked these headphones before they broke. They fit well, the sound was fine by me, and I like the lanyard design. But eventually they broke, now the sound cuts out at the slightest movement of the wire, rendering them useless.
I loved these 20 buckers while they worked! 2008-07-17
I really love these earbuds but they are already broken!
I've been using them daily for a month and really love them. They sound is as good as a pair of $20 earbuds can.
However, the connector has already started shorting out. Too bad - I like these way better than the iPhone earphones.
I'm very rough on earbuds but most brands last me 6 months before they get to the state these are in.
Still, I may buy another set since there are no other inexpensive options yet.
Mine was defective and the manufacturer did not care. 2008-07-16
I got this and loved it for a about 10 days until one ear bud stopped working. It had a bad connection and would work if I played with the cable. I got it on sale for under $10 and decided not to bother returning it to Amazon. I contacted Rivet through their support email and never got any response.
Two broken in one month 2008-07-13
The Rivet Stereo Headset has okay voice quality for phone conversations, but poor music quality. The build is so fragile that extra care has to be applied to let them last longer than one month.
The first one I bought broke in two weeks, when the microphone and the microphone button stopped working. I used this headset in regular computer headphone jack and destroyed the microphone circuit probably in 3 hours. So be very careful not to use it anywhere except for the iphone.
the second one I bought broke within one week, when the extremely long wire caught up on a door handle and a moderate jerk broke the internal wire: the left headphone, the microphone and the button are all not responsive now.
I would not recommend this headset, because unless extra care is applied, it will cost $20 a month to replace it every month.
Smart Design 
2008-07-09
Designed to fit the unique iPhone headphone/headset jack, this item combines hands-free convenience with superior sound quality, allowing users to listen to their music and talk comfortably. Users can enjoy their favorite music in premium stereo sound and simply press the one-touch answer/end button to accept incoming calls. The music mutes automatically and will resume when the call ends. The Mobile Stereo Headset features a lanyard wearing style that lets you adjust the cords to your desired length and store them tangle-free.
Rivet Stereo Earphones... do not purchase 2008-06-24
I bought these, and was very excited. They seemed like a high quality item. They have a nylon mesh cable common on earphones 6x their reasonable price. The problem with that nylon is its very loud (unless you are completely still) and makes a lot of extra noise. My earphones broke after 2 weeks, I've tried contacting the company numerous times and never received any contact in response. Do not purchase these.
Shoddy construction 2008-06-22
I've already gone through two pairs of these and I don't think I will go for a third. The first pair died on the first day I wore them, when I stepped on the right earbud. My second pair lasted a little longer, but I had the same problem as many others - something went loose near the plug connector which caused the right earbud to stop working completely.
I like the lanyard design which positions the microphone in a good location when worn correctly, and the button is easily findable and pushable. But the sound quality of the earphones (when they work at all) is not great and the earbuds are a little uncomfortable when compared to the V-Modas.
GREAT iPhone Headset on ANY Budget! 2008-06-22
I ordered these to replace my lost iPhone earbuds about 5 months ago. I realized then how crummy the standard issue headset is out of the box from Apple. I cannot recommend this set enough. I'm really surprised at the one and two star reviews, as I had an obviously radically different experience.
I use these while riding my bike and the material coated cord is very sturdy and the sound quality is absolutely perfect. I did not have the same experience the other reviewer(s) had of the cord material causing any interference when being rubbed against. The microphone and its button worked and sounded adequately even with the wind from fast bike riding.
It took a minute to get used to the lanyard concept, but its a terrific idea that keeps your earbuds anchored close to you in case the fall out of your ears.
I'm writing this review now because I'm about to order my second set of Rivet headphones after misplacing my first. I see the price has dropped from when I originally purchased them, from $19.95 to now $14.95 and all in all these are just about the best iPhone earphones available. If you have $100 to spend on V-Moda go right ahead, but I think its a waste of money unless you have been cursed with superhuman auditory powers that can discern those subtle differences only an oscilloscope can detect. Otherwise, Rivet is your brand.
Great for a month... exactly... 2008-06-17
This is a great product... for exactly a month. i read the reviews that said that it would break and one of the ear buds would not work anymore. i figured that i am extreamly careful with all of my stuff, and this would not happen to me... wrong!!
i have had two sets of these and both of them broke just about a month after having them. both left ear buds just stopped working.
They sounded great b4 that... but who wants something with a major flaw?
dont waste your money... you worked hard for it.
