I bought a set anyway and was pleasantly surprised. Apple has quietly introduced a second generation of this headset with what would appear to be a lot of improvements.

That said, I would not mind being related to this family of talented musicians. This is a true family act which may account... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462784990852 Wed, 4 Mar 2009 13:32:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462784990852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_459958292100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jlc2005 - I am in fundamental agreement with the first review of this CD so I will try to avoid repeating the comments made there and focus on the "why" of it all. "Created" acts are nothing new in the music business, especially in the Country area.
