want a new pair of earbud style earphone after get by with stock headset for android and iphone\/ipod device . I have read that the control may not be compatible on other device but if the sound work and be durable be fine for I . Got vary result of the vol\/play control pad on a old iPhone only the play btn work , nothing from the volume control . no problem on ipod touch 2nd Gen. Nokia n900 - do not work at all . LG Optimus V play control work also the skip fwd and back - vol control do not work . Motorola Xoom be a strange one , the vol  start the mp3 player and pause only - the play button itself do nothing , no click fwd or back . overall nice in ear design , bass and no noticeable sound leak while play loudly around other people .
