In ear headphones control not working

I bought some apple in ear headphones for £60 in July and they worked perfectly until one day last week when the remote stopped working completely. I've tried headphones across other apple products I own and the control just doesn't work. Other headphones in my phone do work so it must be a headphone issue.
Any help would be great as £60 headphones should last more than 7 months.

Headphones should last more than 7 months and they will be covered by a warranty. You seem to have identified the problem as being with the headphones so return them to Apple for a replacement. I am sure that they will exchange them for you.

Apple in-ear headphones do not work with iPhone5

I have some Apple branch in-ear headphones, which do not fully function with my new iPhone5. I had the iPhone4, and they worked flawlessly with that, but now they are just plain old headphones, none of the click functions work. Is this a bug?

FYI, this resolved itself. I think the connection in the iPhone needed to have some coating or something removed. Inserting and removing the headphone connector a bunch of times, and then it started working.

Apple Earpod volume down control not working

The play/pause button works great as well as the volume up, however the control doesn't respond when I press the volume down. The earpod has not been exposed to any water or the sort. Why is this happening?
Thanks.

Hello milkaballet,
This article provides troubleshooting suggestions and information that’ll resolve most issues with remote buttons on EarPods, like the one you’re running into when trying to reduce volume with your EarPods.

Apple In-ear Headphones Controlling Mac / Pc

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to control the playback of iTunes (or any other audio app for that matter) as well as the volume in either Mac OS X or Vista?
Many thanks in advance

Actually, I believe I was wrong - according to this iLounge review, the remote actually does work on the newest Macbooks (and presumably MacBook Pros) - 2008 models and later. I knew the mic worked, but not the remote.

New apple-in ear headphones' remote not compatible with classic?

i plug them into my aluminum mac, and the features like volume, pause, next, etc work. but they don't work when i use them in my ipod classic. thoughts?

A lot of third party accesories were disable by apple with the 1.0.2 firmware update..you need to downgrade to 1.0.1 firmware to be able to use it.

Beats audio controls not working

Using my beats headphones this morning with my MacBook Air and iTunes. Everything is up to date. Although today now the audio controls on the cord won't work. Normally I can pause iTunes or control the volume. I do this multiple times a day but no go today.
Is this another 10.10.2 bug? Illustrator 2014 CC no longer works properly with my external monitor. I'm getting frustrated with all these bugs.
Also, in my 'About This Mac' info window, it shows my OS as "135122" instead of "Mac OS X" - I'm sure that's not normal.
Any thoughts, anyone?

I did a reboot and repaired permissions, which solved the beats headphones controls not working.
Still concerned about the Mac OS version display though. Curious to know if anyone else has that as well.

Apple headphone controls only working intermittently

Hey,
I have a 6th generation Ipod nano and a pair of the apple in-ear headphones. The headphones work perfectly (tested with iphone)and when I bought them I was told by the guys in the apple shop that they should work fine. Sometimes they do work perfectly, can change volume, skip songs etc. Sometimes the volume control doesn't work with them and sometimes they don't work at all. I just want them to work all the time, obviously!
This is really annoying and I would really like it solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The 6th generation nano is buggy. I have replaced mine at the Apple store and continue to have the same issues with volume control, screen just goes blank and does not respond or it will not synch. I have just accepted the fact that this nano was not tested very thoroughly and keep getting it replaced.

Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

Answer found. Please find below an amazon review explicitly mentioning adding third party foam tips. Sounds like they fit and work like a dream:
"As a audio engineer, I own about a dozen different sets of earphones and in-ear 'phones. My favorite, by far, are my sure SE530s. I have some Sennheiser cx400s which are good workhorses, but lack the finesse, clarity and stunning accuracy of the Shures. For convenience, I bought the Apple's, as I wanted something I could use with the phone for calls.
I found the sound to be quite clear and beautifully clean, but like many, no matter how I tried, the stock Apple tips never made a good seal. The seal is absolutely essential to getting bass out of a balanced armature design. For you non-engineers, just trust me that if you don't have a proper seal, you will have no bass.
In my case, I think the trouble had to do with the largest size being a tiny bit too small, and the silicon being too rigid, yet slick, so they left small airgaps and were easy to remove. I tried using some foam tips from a third party, but their large was more of a medium, and never came close to a snug fit.
As an experiment, I dug around in my ear-tips from my Shure's and tried their rubber tips which are about the same size as Apple's large tips, but made of a more pliant and slightly sticky rubber.
OMG, what a transformation. Suddenly the sound blossomed, the bass became rich and well balanced, and the "top-heavy" sound was totally mellowed into a rich, well balanced and incredibly detailed presentation.
Make no mistake, these are the best 'phones under $200 I have ever heard. The bass is deep and warm, very detailed, and totally lacking fuzz or buzz that I can hear in the Sennheiser set. Look at getting tips from a better headphone. The trick is it has to have a soft rubber base that can expand over Apple's slightly larger stub. Some tips, like the Shure foam tips, have a rigid plastic sleave in the tip to keep it's position correct, and these won't expand over the larger Apple posts."

Apple in ear headphones vs.voice control

...never happened with the standard earphones....I was so delighted with the sound of my new InEar Apple earphones....but all of a sudden they started having this problem: after about 1/2 hour listening to music in my gs3 phone, the sound suddenly goes down and the voice control starts....after a few seconds the music starts again, but only for a few mins....then the problem.....again and again....not the ideal way to listen to good music!!!
Has anyone experienced a similar inconvenience?

I have a similar problem with my Apple in ear headphones.
If I'm lying in bed, the button goes haywire and will stop whatever is playing.
It sometimes starts again, sometimes doesn't.
Sometimes it will act as if I'm fast forwarding it, changed the speed to 2x on the iPod application.
Then it just cuts out. I have to press the button again to get it to start.
Occasionally, if the headphones are just plugged in and nothing's happening, the button will activate itself and start music, stop it randomly and skip songs randomly too.

I just to a new iphone5s, the headphones are not working correctly. I can hear the music but I can't pause or play with the button. Will apple replace them?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration. However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
Hope that helps.

New Apple In-Ear Headphones

Okay, I had a few questions to ask before I go out and by these so I don't waste my money.
1. Are the new In-Ear headphones compatible with the Original iPhone?
2. Are they sold at Best Buy?
If anyone could help me that would be great

Hello Covenant,
First, the Apple In-Ear Headphones will work with the iPhone except for the volume control function. This thread and link provide some information on them:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1792212

Whether Best Buy carries them or not, I can't answer. They are not listed on their online store, but you can always contact your local brick-and-mortar Best Buy and see if they have them in stock.
