Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.

Apple In-Ear headphones

Editors' rating: 4

The good: The Apple In-Ear headphones offer great sound, stylish design, comfortable ear tips, a one-year warranty, a spare set of mesh caps, and an in-line microphone with an iPod remote control.

The bad: The all-white design will show wear over time, iPhone users can't take advantage of the headphone's in-line volume control, and owners of older iPods have no use for the remote and microphone.

The bottom line: If you own a new iPod, the Apple In-Ear headphones are a great value. Owners of iPhones and older iPods will have to decide whether the mic and remote compatibility issues are worth overlooking for the substantial boost in sound quality.
