Earbuds volume control

Dear Apple,
Because I cannot find a product suggestions page/site, I'll create a new discussion topic.
I wear collared shirts to the office and the location of the volume control on your earbuds get's hung up on my collar quite frequently.  This causes the earbud to adjust itself such that it's either uncomfortable, not optimal, or both.  On some occasions it pulls the earbud out of my ear.
May I recommend you review it's location and move it such that it doesn't interfere with a very common article of clothing.
Peace.
Boudreaux.

Hey,
you´re right. No option vor volume control.
I bought the "shame on me" apple earpods with micro. Everthing is working fine.
volume control. Answer phone calls. They are cheap not to bad an really comfortable.
I paid 20 € for mine.
cheers

  • Beats earbud volume control on iPhone 5 not working

    I have a pair of the Beats URBEATS ear buds.  When I use them with my iPhone the volume controls do not work on the headphones not can I answer calls or skip songs.  Anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it ?

    I have the same problem with a first gen 8 gb touch running 2.1 software.
    I've seen other threads referencing this problem but no real solutions. I've tried reseting the iPod (press/hold sleep/wake + Home buttons,) restoring via iTunes and adjusting the volume limit control with no success.
    Is there anyone out there that can help us?
    I was given the iPod touch as a gift and updated the software to 2.1 right out of the box via iTunes. How can a restore to the previous 1.x version? This seems like the only solution at this point.
    Thanks

  • My earbuds volume control don't work with my iphone, but it does on my ipod?

    I've done everything from blowing in the headphone jack to cleaning it with an q-tip and restoring the iphone. i know my ear buds work since the volume up and down and the play and pause controlls all work with my ipod touch but when i try using it with my iphone the controls still don't work. i'm about to go over to apple and get this replaced. the iphone is pretty much new too. i might've gotten some water inside it when i was putting on my screen protector but it wasnt that much.

    Count me in. I have the "Backup ccould not be completed" error since november.
    Yesterday it worked once right after I restored my iPad while iTunes transfered all the data back to my iPad. So it is definitely not a problem on the iCloud side but on the iPad's Apps side.
    My guess is that it might be just one app's data which blocks iOS from backing up correctly...
    Any ideas?

  • I need small earbud earphones with a volume control for my IPod shuffle.

    Can any of you tell me what company or companies make small earbud earphones with a volume control to use with my Ipod shuffle?  The standard Apple earphones are too large for my ears and after about 30 minutes of use I have to take them off.  I ordered some JLab small earbud earphones but now that they've arrived I realize they don't have a volume control. 

    Hey, I had the same problem when I first bought my Ipod. The issue is not with the Ipod its with iTunes, go to Preferences then Playback, change the volume on SOUND ENHANCER, I recommend the sound check but thats personal.
    After you do that, connect your Ipod and go to settings uncheck maximum volume, and sync. I added memory for Ipod usage to make sure (decreases # of songs for ipod usage)
    Good luck I hope this solves your problem it solved mine.

  • Sound Volume control gone with earbuds

    Is there a setting on an iPhone 4S that would disable the volume control from earbuds?  The stop/start works fine, but I cannot raise or lower the volume?  Thanks.

    Make sure the jack is inserted completely.
    Clean out the connector in the iPhone with compressed air.

  • Earphones Volume Control, Mic

    My earphones that came with the iphone are not working properly.  The volume control buttons, the middle switch, nor the mic are working.  The only function that seems to work is that you can still hear the earbuds.  Any suggestions; think Apple will replace them?

    I'll leave this open in case of a miracle, but I now think the set's damaged.  The mic also doesn't work:  no Voice Control or Voice Memo, after all. 
    Still good earphones, though.

  • Are there any iPhone headsets that allow volume control?

    The new Apple In-Ear headphones are shipping at last, and I am considering buying some. I am currently looking to upgrade to some high-quality headphones from my standard iPhone buds, but I would like to have a working microphone and remote like those Apple buds have for my convenience. Are there any such headsets with working volume controls as well? Does the iPhone's audio jack lack a connector for this additional piece of equipment, as some folks are suggesting? A lot of people have been saying that the remote and microphone portion of the new In-Ear headset will work with the iPhone, but the volume buttons do not. I've seen mixed reports, so I'd like to hear some more opinions on this matter.
    If volume control is not possible, I will still look into upgrading. So far, I'm considering the In-Ear phones, the V-MODA Vibe Duo headset. Any other thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I bought a set of the Vmoda Vibe with the microphone. They sound great !! the silicone seals are just your average seals. After a couple of months the seals would sometimes stay in my ear when I pulled the earpiece out. A couple of months ago i bought some foam seals that work absolutely great. They are available on the Vmoda website. Kinda pricey..$14 ish for three pair. they only come in gray and accumulate dirt faster than the silicone seals but, they stay in your ear. Last week, as i wrapped the cord, i noticed it was broken at the pin plug site where it's curved (bends). This ***** as now when talking on the phone with the earbuds everything echos. My audio and the other persons audio also. Of course Apple won't exchange them since I purchased them more than two weeks ago. (A year hasn't expired yet) I'm going to send them to Vmoda and see what happens. I purchased the new Itouch earbuds. they are Apple white. I wished they came in black but, they are AWESOME !! The sound is incredible. The silicone seals work great so far. They look to be shaped differently so now they stay in your ear..so far...I purchased them for my iphone. The microphone/hold button work fine with no echo on either side. They have a volume level control but it does not work on the iphone. Bummer...This feature would have made them the ultimate Iphone earbuds. The volume does work on my ipod. Go figure. Overall, the new Apple In-ear headsets are great, They must have a tweeter and woofer in there cuz the sound is fantastic and the silicone seals actually stay in place.

  • 3.1.3 upgrade no more volume control

    Just upgraded OS on 1st gen touch and now there is no volume control bar. tried reinstalling 2 times with no result. anyone else have this problem or a solution?

    I had the same problem. Had no problem prior to updating with 3.1.3.
    I was finally able to restore my volumn (without having to use headphones/earbuds) by resetting the unit. Simply hold down the top button and menu button at the same time. It will shut the unit off. Then, hold them down again until you see the apple symbol. Wait a few moments and the unit comes back on. My volumn was then working again. Hope it works for you too.

  • No volume controls on iPad 2 after Bluetooth unpairing

    On an iPad 2 with ios 8.1.2, I can successfully pair and use a Bluetooth headset.  Volume controls work on the headset and the iPad 2.  No problems.  But after unpairing, the volume controls on the iPad 2 are gone or greyed out (depending on the app).  The mechanicals buttons do not change the volume level either.  I have tried hard reset without success.
    One more data point ... if I plug in a wired set of earbuds, the volume controls return.  But if I remove the 3.5 mm jack, the volume controls disappear.
    This condition started with pairing a set of Bluetooth earbuds.  Any suggestions appreciated.
    ON EDIT:  This doesn't happen on my iPhone 5s with the same Bluetooth earbuds.

    Same thing here. Started with iOS8, continues with 8.0.2. Only workaround I've seen is to reboot and/or power off/on.
    Sometimes stays connected for hours. Other times No Service after a few minutes.
    Since the upgrade to 8 never said it wasn't supported for iPad 2's my expectation is it should work. C'mon Apple.

  • I have a Droid Ultra does anyone know of ear buds that have the inline mic with volume controls?

    I am looking for ear buds that have an inline mic and volume controls...I have the Droid Ultra...can anyone recommend one?

  • No More Volume Controls?

    I just upgraded my iPod Touch to 3.0 and love it, but when I went to listen to music, there were no volume controls. There is no setting to enable volume controls. When I double click the home button, it says "Dock Connector" where the slider would usually be, but I don't have anything connected to it. I have an iPod Touch 1G. How do I change the volume?

    I like this feature, it's pretty clever considering you don't need the volume controls when you have it docked to a set of speakers cause then it's the speaker controls that you are using not the volume controls on your device
    Maybe you don't need the volume controls for your speaker dock system, but that is not universally true. My speaker dock system sounds better at a certain internal-volume level, and that level is different than the level I prefer when using the earbuds. Being able to change it only when the earbuds are connected is an unacceptable consequence of a paid upgrade.
    Yes, I've already utilized the feedback link. And I also intend to let the manufacturer of the speaker system know that Apple's shortsightedness has hindered my enjoyment of and lowered the value of their product.

  • 20g gig 4th generation--volume control issue

    Hi there!
    I bought a 20 gig 4th generation ipod just over a year ago now. I've loved it from the start! Lately I've noticed something amiss in the volume of the ipod. I had a brief search on the forum but didn't seem to find anything in relation to the issue that I'm having.
    Basically what I've noticed is that I'm needing to crank the volume up even louder than before in order to hear the music (no i'm not going deaf--my friend told me I have hearing like a bat!)
    It's not the headphones--I've still got the original headphones (they work and sound fine in other things); I can hear all the songs, see all the songs, etc--it just seems that I need to crank it up higher than I've had to before.
    I've also noticed this in the car when I use the tape cassette adapter. The sound system in the car is pretty good but I noticed I had to crank that up as well as the ipod in order to hear the music. The Ipod had to be cranked almost to full volume.
    I don't get the sketchy sounds or distortion that I've seen people mention on the forums here. I've also got the latest firmware installed. Considering the other problems I've read on the forums, I'm considered lucky!
    Any suggestions or solutions to what might be going on?
    Thanks,
    Lea

    Basically I'm out of ideas. I will not consider replacing the ipod.
    Well, if it's a hardware issue, then I guess you are out of luck.
    However, I was considering buying earbuds with built in in-line volume control.
         Will this somehow solve my solution?
    It may help a little, but if you aren't wanting to have it replaced, what other options do you really leave yourself?

  • Unable to use volume control ipod itouch 5.1.1

    hello,
    itouch didn't have a problem with volume slider until recently. through other websites, i have since located the volume slider in music playing mode by double tapping the home button and scrolling to the left but it lacks any button to scroll to increase the volume. music plays well via a sound dock but that has it's own volume controls. sometimes when docking it plays through the handset speakers until seated correctly so i know the internal speakers do work.
    any light on the matter would be very much appreciated!!!

    I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now.

  • I need help with voice memo and volume control

    I really dislike to update my iphone's software.  I have Iphone 4S and I have been using voice memo to record lectures for sometime. 
    It was working well till updated my Iphone's software (IOS or whatever that is).  Now I can't transfer my voice memo to my computer
    and I have tried so many things people have suggested online which are 1. restart my mac book, 2. turn off and on my Iphone 3.
    check voice memo when syncing my iphone with macbook.  It is not working.  Also, I totally messed my volume control.  I went to
    Genuis bar and the lady who helped told me that my Iphone has some issues before which is making my Iphone go nuts.
    In short, 1.  I cannot sync my voicemail
                 2.  my volume does not work....i have to turn it on and off

  • Need Volume Control API's for windows phone 8.1

    Hi,
       I'm developing a windows phone 8.1 app in which volume need to control. To do this I'm not getting API's to perform this operation, so can any one help to develop this app. if not please post some suggestions why this is not possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi NareshKumar,
    Volume control always needed by play some media stuff, could you please tell us why and where do you need the volume control.
    Basically as I know if we play the sound by MediaElement, it has a
    Volume property, or what kind of media play control are you using?
    Indeed, there is no API that can directly control the system volume, only user can manage that.
