Griffin SmartTalk

A real bargain at $20, the SmartTalk's microphone/clicker module is excellent, a compact block with a small integrated clip. The module was the least obtrusive of the ones I tested, and its button was easy to double-click when I wanted to switch tracks. Its microphone also offered the best sound quality of any of the adapters we tested, providing clear sound with a minimum of noise. The SmartTalk's cord is wrapped in nylon, which makes it feel a bit classier than the rubber coating on similar adapters.--Jason Snell
