y tell apple. tell the owners, i have an iPod and i live in england, Manchester. anybody waves a knife at me wanting my ipod gets a ass whoopin from me. its up to the users, if they fear this, then they will; change the headphones, not apple
I heard about this happening in New York too. Makes me glad I live in Japan.
And Japan – that’s even worse! Samurai ambush iPod wearers and force them to commit hari kari by listening to Sony ATRACS! It’s a scary place….
By far the scariest country to wear an iPod in though is of course Finland! Reindeer LOVE the iPod just because of those white earbuds – that’s their favorite color! They’ll come up behind you on the left and tap your right shoulder, then when you look right they’ll CHOMP the cord and run for the hills – usually dragging you along for the ride!
Terrifying – this has happened to me several times.
OK, that’s enough.
the apple ipod earbuds are gawd awful…I kind of laugh at peeps who still use them since there are much better alternatives out there. but hey, since everyone is a wannabe hipster…
I listen to my iPod through a pair of B&O earphones and no-one hassles me, go figure.
I thought the Chavs were all busy stealing each other’s trainers and 9ct gold jewellery. Do Dell make eaphones? If people thought I had a DJ, no one would ever mug me for it.
This is the funniest story that I’ve seen on this April fools. good stuff
Not April fools–this story is several days old.
I wouldn’t let LOTs of things be seen in public except under certain safe circumstances. Starting with my digital camera and cash! Music players, cell phones, jewelry etc. too.
I recommend these headphones–they fold up like sunglasses for travel and sound great:

may not be april fools, but apparently contacting both Apple and that police department, nobody made those statements.
an Apple dealer, and a single cop.. not Apple, and not the police department.
Not an April Fool. Story first appeared in the London Metro on Tuesday.
in-ear are nice and people like nice things
Stealing ipod, earphones, AND accumulated earwax. Ewwwww!
Gee if you could carry a gun in England, maybe the criminals would think twice about stealing your iPod. Thank God for concealed weapon licenses in Texas. I can carry my iPod without having to worry about theft.
Then again, I guess we’re not as “progressive” as those in the “EU”. Just safer!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Nagromme, Re: Sennheiser PX100
They’d be great for my wife’s iPod mini but she’s wondering if they’ll bother people in her art class since they’re open-air design and the review says “Very audible to others around you”. Is that true even at moderate volume? The closed PX200’s would avoid that but they cost a bit more and I’m not sure how they compare sound and comfort-wise to the PX100’s.
PS – I love my HD580’s.

Texas – so very tempting to enter into the gun arguement, as you really don’t have a leg to stand on, but I’ll leave it be….
Hmmm… so you carry an iPod and a concealed piece? Kind of defeats the purpose of having such a small and light personal music system, doesn’t it? Must be bulky and get in the way when you go running, unless you’ve got a shoulder holster…
oh yes legal to posess guns, very american, very stupid…think stupid
RE: Sennheiser PX100
sjk, don’t know if you’ll read this or not but I’m the one who wrote the review located at http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Speakers/Sennheiser-PX100/
and to answer your question I would say it depends on what kind of music she listens to. They are great headphones and the quality of the sound is such that she wouldn’t have to turn them up very loud, however if she is just a rawkin’ headbanger chick who has to have the music blasting then she might want to go with the closed design of the PX200 or a similar set.
