Wire frays and eventually stops working,

This review is from: iLuv iEA15BLK iPod Remote with 3rd-Party Headphone Adapter for VoiceOver (Electronics)
Great idea, but flawed design. The insulation on the cable closest to the input plug cracked in less that a couple of weeks exposing the copper and rendering the device useless. This part of the adapter tends to bend frequently and there is not sufficient insulation on the cable to prevent cracking. I can not recommend this device with its current design.

What job? To get rid of those awful and poor sound Apple factory headphones and to control either your iPod shuffle (latest version) or the iPod touch.
I just used them on a 5 hour flight, they were great since I could use my noise cancelling headphones.
The adapter looks well made, nice color (black), but the only thing that I did not rate it 5 stars is because you may get confused when turning up or down the volume with the center click, so you may get "pausing" your music instead of changing the volume. An another thing, since they're black, you will have a little of a hard time guessing if you're going to push the up or down volume button.
But I love this adapter for sure.

DOA, crappy manufacturing - 0 stars,

Sadly, Amazon does not allow 0 star reviews.
Just received this adapter and it's DOA.
No matter what I tried, I couldn't get sound through any headphones I connected.
I read all those reviews about the crappy manufacturing, and chose to ignore them. "Hey, it's just a cable", I thought.
Wrong. This cable looks like it cost 3 cents to put together and you get what you pay for.
Will get my money back from Amazon, but will have to use the standard Apple headphones ("crappy" seems to be the theme for this post) for my upcoming trip.
Stay away.
