- fluxxy 14y agoThat is a good point. We do not recommend using these with those models as the magnets would cause problems.
- jessriedel 14y agoOther commenters here seem to think that they wouldn't be a problem. I would find out definitively and say one way or the other on your product page. Geeks will worry about it.
- fluxxy 14y agoThe only models in question would be the hard drive based models. There will be no problems with the iPhone, iPad, iPod nano or shuffle. The iPad case uses these same magnets.
- jrockway 14y agoIt's fine to put magnets like this on hard drives. They are not strong enough to do any damage, especially given the space between the platters and the magnet that the case of the drive and iPod ensure. (Credit cards with high-coercivity magstripes are similarly immune.)
- DugFin 14y agoThe hard drive itself contains comparatively huge neodymium permanent magnets. Those tiny magnets on the headphones will not affect the hard drive.
