earphone cable with push to hear and vol control
Anyone know of a good cable with "push to hear" and a volume control?
I don't mind something a bit pricey if it has good reviews and wont affect the sound quality of shure earphones.

Shure has one of their own, but the volume control is only for the built in mic:

On Amazon this Koss is highly rated:

But it only does volume - no PTH.

Thanks Scott,
I had seen both of those.
The Shure PTH is promising. I havent heard any comments on it affecting sound quality, but being Shure, I suppose this probably isnt an issue. The reviews about the battery door coming open and the bulkiness concern me (I know, picky, but the damn things do cost $60). Also I really would like to have the vol control which this doesnt have.
Most of the positive reviews on the Koss vol control seem to be based on the concept of an inline vol control. The reviews I read that mentioned sound quality did say that these do negatively affect sound quality.
Maybe there is no inline vol control that doesnt affect sound quality?
Thanks again.
