New iPhone earbuds with the KX3 (etc.)

I got one of Apple's newest stereo earbud/mics with my iPhone 5. Acoustically, they're a big improvement over the previous generation. They have larger earpieces that do a better job of blocking out wind noise, and have better bass response. In addition to working well with iPhones and iPads, they work well as 'phones for the KX3, and doubtless for other rigs as well.

I'll still be using an MH3 as the mic, though. Even if it were possible to use the mic on the earbud cable as a rig mic, I'm dubious about how well it would work in noisy environments. Close miking is probably preferable in most cases.
