I just purchased these on abit of a hunch to see if they work with my iPhone 3GS. I could not get any confirmation from either Apple or Sony but took a risk anyway. Thankfully, they are fully functional. The remote and mic both work as per the standard iPhone 3GS headphones. The remote is a tiny bit larger than the standard Apple versions but this makes it much easier to use. The rocker switch has a much more tactile feel to it aswell.
The headphones themselves are very comfortable. Compared to the original Apple headphones, the Sony has a slightly wider sound stage. You can better distinguish between left and right channel. The treble is definitely more refined but the bass is only a slight improvement over the standard set (hence the 4 stars). Still, very good value for money and considering this is one of the few headphones that retain complete functionality with the iPhone 3GS (not sure about 3G) I cannot recommend anything else at this price point.
Also packed in are three sizes of silicon buds so your bound to find a set that suits your ears. There is a cord adjuster (basically just abit of plastic to wrap the cable) and a nice little bag to carry everything in.

Just got these buds through as I needed to replace Sennheiser cx-300 after wear and tear and fancied some with the remote control that were not supplied by Apple.
Thanks to Sarfraz for the confirmation these work with the 3GS, you'd have thought they'd have it better advertised, not just listing iPods. When I first plugged mine in I thought I must have got a faulty set, I could hear the music fine, but the controls did nothing.
Remembered someone mentioning on a forum to check the headphone socket for a build-up of lint as it doesn't take much to stop a true connection. Attacked the socket with a unfolded staple and lo and behold a good lump of lint popped out. Plugged the buds back in and it all works exactly as it should.
Great sound, bass and treble seem fine. You have to make sure you get a good fit to get the best sound. Some people don't like buds due to the intrusive nature of them, but it means you don't have to have the volume high - you do get noise from the wire rubbing, but this is a common "feature" of buds.

The sound quality is very good, with an excellent low end. They are comfortable in the ear, and the cable seems to be made of a silicon which is relatively difficult to tangle up.
The remote works as both a volume control and a play/pause control on the iPhone 3GS, which is the primary reason I bought them. The microphone is also clear.
The one small negative I can say about these is that finding the side to press in on the remote control isn't as easy as I'd like, and I find myself sometimes failing to squeeze it in the right way to pause a track. It takes some getting used to, and is more difficult to click than the standard iPhone 3GS headphones.

More bang for bucks
Relatively cheap in comparison to other brands but these deliver across the frequency range with good bass tones at all volumes. For the price nothing to compare.
