Looks like the Koreans just beat everyone else to the punch when it comes to wireless iPod nano headphones — c’mon: you know you want ‘em. Asiana IDT has been demonstrating the abilities of its new SH-N10s to our intrepid reporter in Seoul, who confirms that said cans have magical powers, including the ability to control the nano directly.

Asiana IDT, a system integrator owned by Asiana Airlines, is showing a prototype of the headphones and a cradle at the Korea Electronics Show. The SH-N10 system consists of a base cradle into which the iPod nano sits, and a pair of clip-on headphones. The cradle, which is slightly bigger than the music player itself, communicates with the headphones via a 2.4GHz radio link. The right ear unit of the headphones includes a small control button for volume adjust, play, pause, forward and rewind functions.
