Rating: - Neat Idea, but Doesn't Work Very Well
I bought this remote as a gift for my boyfriend who likes to listen to his iPod while running/working out. It sounded like a very convenient idea, and it is, when it actually works, which is not often.
It seems you have to have it in the exact right position at the exact right distance for it to have any effect on your iPod at all. We tried every way we could think of and it still only controlled the iPod when it wanted to.
Also, the wrist band is difficult to adjust and we had trouble getting it to snugly fit my boyfriend's fairly large wrists, so I can't imagine it would work at all for a woman with smaller wrists like mine.
Overall, not work the purchase because it's aggrivating to use and doesn't work the way it should.
Rating: - Not recomended
This product did not work at all like described, the only way it would even sometimes work was to hold, it a max of two inches away from the ipod and even then it would more likely skip through the song rather than skip the song all together. There isn't a chance this would have worked through clothes let alone through walls.

I bought this product to use with my motorcycle. It worked well enough with my first generation nano, but I bout a new Nano (video) for a trip, and it didn't work AT ALL. Very frustrating. I am sending this POS back.
Rating: - Don't buy it
I usually don't do reviews but I am so unhappy with this product that I wanted to warn others. As others stated buttons don't work reliably, and several times when I hit the volume button it went to max.Then it won't turn off or lower so your eardrums burst. I was riding a motorcycle each time it happened and by the time I could pull over and rip off my helmet I was deaf.
Lucky I didn't crash. I returned the item today to Amazon with no hassles..do the same, better yet buy something else.
Rating: - Worked great, at first
Always a tough call when a product has such mixed reviews. But, seeing no better options out there, I decided to take the chance. I am using this on my motorcycle to control a 2G iPod Nano. For the first 1,000 miles of on and off use over two trips, it worked fine and I was quite pleased. However, after a few days of non-use, I took the iPod and AI Remote with me for another ride and experienced the same issues reported by so many others. Buttons would either not respond or would continually repeat the selected command - whether that be a volume adjustment, track change, or play/pause. I'm not done with it yet, as I want to use it some more to see if I can figure out what changed. However, given the experience I've had what could have been a 5-star is now no better than a 3.
