Apple has been known to lock-out third party manufacturers from utilizing some of their device’s features and their Apple shuffle’s VoiceOver feature is no different. However, it look like one such manufacturer by the name of iLuv has licensed the technology thus gaining the ability to include it in their iEA15 adapter.

What this is is essentially a microphone touting adapter that lets you plug-in any headset you throw at it and still be able to use the shuffle’s VoiceOver technology. This is made possible as the adapter includes a “remote control chip provided by Apple, Inc.”. And, since it does have a microphone, you’ll be able to use it with your iPhone.

iLuv’s iEA15 adapter will most likely prove to be a highly sought after device but unfortunately for us, a price has to yet to be announced.

That new iPod shuffle has a weird set of headphones. The controls are all on it and it will take you a while to master them. On top of that, you won’t be able to add any new headphones unless you also get the necessary control dongle.

In case the default Apple phones aren’t the thing for you, you can always get the new iEP505 earphones announced by iLuv. The phones come with the in-line needed controls so you won’t need any kind of adapter to make them work. The iEP505 earphones will cost $50 and they will come in black, white, pink, red and blue.
