Can anyone tell if the button controls work with Android phones (stock / with addon apps from the Market)

My initial attempt to use with an Android OS phone was not good, volume buttons did not work, and person on other end could not hear me through the microphone. Have not tried any add-ons yet. As striaght headphones, I love the SOL Republic. Hope this helps.

I have the Tracks HD and the Amps HD and have not got them to work with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I use Poweramp for my music but haven't had success with any player. I really don't mind though because the sound quality is just worth the money for these headphones. I have had Beats, Bose and Skullcandy but none compared. Just a FYI the founder of SolRepublic was the engineer for Monster when they came up with the Beats line. The audio quality in these are superior and the price makes them even better.

no it only works with apple devices and the front of the box (sol headphones) say it only works with iphone and ipods

Sol Republic headphones come with cable for iphones/ipods. The headphones will work but not the talk/volume cable. It can be changed out for one of these: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords;=cleartalk%20omnidirectional%20cable%20and%20mic I learned this after trying to find headphones for my teenage son that work with an android phone...

The ones that come in the box do not. I tried it at best buy. Apparently though you can buy an extra cable that works but directly from sol. They never responded to this when I emaiked them in October. I have a big head and didn't like the feel of them, but loved the concept. I priced it out as separate components to get the cable that supposedly works, but it was more then buying the whole unit so I went with the noontec headphones and love the fit and sound much more.

Headphone controls do not work with android (Galaxy Skyrocket SII), but the microphone does work for phone calls for me.

the buttons work semi well. the middle button does play/pause. the volume buttons don't work at all with my phone. I tried a app and it will only skip songs. overall it works decently enough.

Only the pause/play button works on Android - not the volume control buttons. I tried them on the HTC One.

I don't think so. The android one was the 2VP. I think it may have been discontinued. Everything should work except the controls of course, if you use the 2IP version.

I haven't had any problems with the buttons. Basis has worked flawlessly since I got it in (December 2013).

It seems to work with android but if you're using it for appraisals then it doesn't seem to work with Wintotal

If you have a phone with android you can download a software to control it. It works nice !

I've never messed with any of the buttons on purpose except the power button and maybe the volume buttons. There is a "multi function" button for that sort of thing. I think it responds to things like: press, long press, double press...

I have found all thebuttons to work, however I tend to only use the shutter release and occ. the selector wheel. The clock mode on the LCD is handy. I made a point to learn what they all are for when I first installed it, but have forgoten them since I dont use them any more. I still love this grip with the extended battery life and relocated shutter release.

The pause button works, but the mic and volume control doesn't.The volume control never works with android products (at least from my experiences), however, I think I might have a faulty mic. Don't quote me on that though.

The controls (buttons and microphone) are NOT cross platform compatible. They only work with iPhone. However, these headphones will play sound perfectly well on an Android. To get iPhone headset controls to work with Android requires opening them up and soldering in resistors. Here is the link to the hack: http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/ I am not fully aware of what models of headsets with controls work with Android, but I am sure they are out there.

Only the center button and mic work on Android. My phone is a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.2.

I'm not sure if it will. They work with NFC (near field communication), so as long as your phone has the capacity for NFC, these buttons should work

They basically work on any emulator that you can remap your controls to. I have not once had a problem using it with any emulator.

No. I've had no problems using the power and volume buttons. The phone itself is very thin so I've just had trouble finding the buttons. They work perfectly fine though.

As far as I know it is only for the Windows version. Apparently there are some differences between the Android and Windows versions as I have seen some comments for the cases.

None of these answer the question. The OP as well as I want to know if the buttons on this set are configured for Android or for Iphone. Yes there is a difference.

Unfortunately, I only own products that run iOS, so I can't comment on if it works with Android devices. Sorry
