iHome has unveiled a new noise isolating metal earphones called the iHome iB24. It provides the in-line remote with microphone, allowing you to answer and end calls; controls sound volume, play/pause, and track selection, even voice commands for your dear iPod, iPhone and iPad models, though not all are compatible, which we suspect those legacy ones will be out of the list. The earphones are available in black, red and magenta and these headphones come with three differently-sized ear cushions to ensure that background noise is properly blocked.
