I'm looking to get an inline remote for a 5th gen ipod nano. The only remotes I can see are the apple ones with the headphones built in.

If I didn't want to use Apple's earbuds, are there any options where I can plug in a remote and then plug my own headphones into them?
 
Just to bump an old thread - I found an inline remote that looked the same as what a friend of mine had on an older ipod. It's the "Radio Remote" that apple sell. Asking in the shop if it'd be compatible with a 5g nano, everyone said "Yes, it'll work perfectly."

Well, of course, it doesn't. Plug it into the nano 5g and you get an "accessory not supported" message. I guess it's because the remote has a radio built in, but the 5g already has a radio. Which is a shame, because I don't care about the radio, I just want a remote with headphones that are comfortable.

Every time I go near Apple products, I get burned by design and/or staff stupidity/ignorance. Looks like this time is no different :(

Have a look at THIS.


That's for the iPhone it seems.

Looks promising. Will try and find somewhere that sells it.
