Hi Marco,
You are of course perfectly correct in saying that headphones can be used v=
ia the recording unit! As I understand it, the eBay connector socket is des=
igned to take a TRRS jack as the iPhone/iPod has. The advert has MAC in the=
title, and also says 'Convert your stereo headphones that also have an int=
egrated microphone'.
It will be interesting to find out; I too have ordered one, on the basis th=
at I'm in no rush, and it's easier!
Cheers
Max
