    looking for earbuds that are compatible with Android, I want to be able to turn volume up and down and previous/next track. All i see is only compatible with iPhones... for Android those are only have play/pause and next/previous, never volume up/down.

    Do you know any?

    • I thought all of the best stuff was for android because Apple sucks. Surely you have it backwards and only one headphone for iPhone and the rest for android.monospaced

    • ot compatible. Sad, but true."Bennn
    • Seems like the only option is Bluetooth earbuds. With Bluetooth, all the buttons work. Well...Bennn

    • I just thought, set, that since Android is more popular and more widespread and better in every way, that the majority of headphones would support it not iOSmonospaced
