Lost Headphones, Canadian can't get one another?

Ebay only has one auction for the official one and I can't buy it from the apple store cause the Canadian one doesn't have it. Tried calling the US side to purchase but they wouldn't sell to me saying "I shouldn't need one anyway" kinda saying if I have a hacked iphone I should drop dead.

So anyone have any ideas how I can get another set without crossing the border?

Amazon has an iPhone compatible with the mic. Unfortunately they are not Apple branded.

Sorry that you can't get a new pair. I can just say that you should get an unbranded set--the Apple ones suck indeed.

Thanks all for the help, the truely funny thing is when I visited Cali a few weeks ago I bought another set then my GF lost it or threw them out thinking the headphone box was empty, grrrrrrrrrr.........

driving and crossing the border to Buffalo is huge hassle for headphones, theres a couple on ebay so I guess i'll have to that route.

The part number thing might help though, thanks........

I actually like the iphones although it gets bad reviews, it doesn't feel cheap and it fits pretty good in my ear.

Shure makes an adaptor (MPA-3C) for the iPhone that allows you to use any headphones. It's a little pricey ($40 on Amazon), but it gets pretty good reviews.

Hey netcbc. Please check your inbox. I PM'd you as I have an extra set lying around since I don't have use for the pair my iPhone came with.

I had the same problem. Bought myself a pair of Maximo iMetals (iP-HS2). They sound way better than the stock phones, although not as good as my old etymotics. For around $50, they're a good deal, I think. They have an in-line mic and call answer button similar to the Apple phones, plus they fit much better in my ears. Bough mine off ebay.

We have an apple store in Concordia university and they said they can order anything for the iPhone...

I can ask for you if you want, just PM me and let me know

I was again thinking about this....

Because my iPhone hearphones gives me problem(if you find a solution tell me, i'm interested!!)
There are people in US that do some fowarding
Maybe!!, also, to Red_Supra, it would be VERY interresting if you could check with your university, my brother is at UDM and maybe he could do the trick

too if you can!!

Thanks
