Following on from announcing the Image S2 and Image S4 headphones, Klipsch have been quick to announce that its already got no less than three sets of in-ear headphones on the drawing board that are being developed specifically for Apple’s 3^rd Gen iPod Shuffle 4GB.

Needless to say, the new Klipsch 3^rd Gen iPod Shuffle 4GB headphones will come complete with in-line controls designed to compliment the new Shuffle’s VoiceOver feature – such as play, pause, adjust volume, skip tracks, navigate playlists – and will be IDR (Increased Dynamic Range) noise isolating in-ear affairs.

Klipsch’s press release states that their new, 3^rd Gen iPod Shuffle 4GB friendly headphones should become available sometime in the Spring and are expected to retail for between $50 and $100.

We congratulate Klipsch for being so pro-active but, alas, there’s still nothing that will convince us to part with money for Apple’s new Shuffle – and the fact that specialist headphones (as opposed to any spare headphones you happen to have laying around) have to be used with what is, in essence, a ‘budget’ DAP really just strikes us somewhat of a paradox.
