Earphones broke, want replaced.. But they want my iPod and 149$?!

Hi there!
So my earphones broke.. Right ear is dead silent. And yes, I'm certain they're broke, I've tested it. So yea, they are kinda new and I've treated them nicely, so I was hoping I could get them replaced. So I got to this repair support thing, and I can't find any "Earphones" product. So I trid my iPod Touch, and yes! I can choose "No audio in one of the channels" and "Earphones with remote and mic".. Seems great! BUT! Then there's this "Give us 149$ >:(!!!" fee, so Apple wont get screwed over and loose stuff. But it's my earphones that are broke, NOT my iPod? And the earphones cost like.. 30$ themselves, so that seems kinda odd. And yes, I know I'll (properly) get the money back, but still... I haven't entered my creditcard information, as I'm afraid I'm gonna have to send my iPod as well, and I DON'T want a new iPod, nor do I want everything deleted...
Sooo... Anyone knows anything about this? Do I NEED to send my iPod as well, as it seems the fee is based on the iPod, and well, it's as I wanted support for my iPod, which I actually don't.
Hope you understand
Regards from Denmark

just saw this here. i had bought 2 ipod touches 1 for me and a friend last october and this time around both our headphones with remote and mic are busted. right ear no sound. i guess due to the remote it is more likely to be damaged in such a short time of use. good thing that it's still under warranty.
if you have an apple store there near you, you can bring the headphone and your unit and if less than a year bring your receipt. they will honor this and you can have a new set of earphones at no addtl price in 1 to 2 weeks. no need to ship your earphone.
