Is it true that the microphone and remote control from Apple earbuds don't work with this case (because of the screw-on jack extension)??

I never tried the apple earbuds but I think they work. I just know that my skullcandy headphones and aux chord wouldn't fit

They do fit! They did not fit for the iphone 4 case without the adapter (included by lifeproof) however the iphone 5 case it does fit, and it provides an adapter for non apple products.

I have had no problems with the extension. I just leave it plugged into my earbuds so that I always know where it is. The microphone works fine on Apple earbuds.

I'm not sure sorry I have aftermarket ear buds but they worked fine. Otter box also has a water proof case for half the cost of life proof cases. I would look around a bit before purchasing.

There is not a microphone like there is on the Apple ear buds. If you need that feature, these are not the best choice for you; however, the ear bud design itself is superior to the ear bud design on the Apple ear buds. I have both. And even though I greatly appreciate that feature on the Apple ear buds, I prefer the Zipbuds for my workout since I despise being interrupted by phone calls.

They absolutely don't work with anything but apple products. the only working feature is pause/play being the center button nothing else does anything useful. The mic doesn't work either.

I never tried it before, but to answer this questin I got out my earbuds (I think they were skull candy that I use for my ipod shuffle). Much to my surprise, the pin was too thick for the hole. I do not think it is a standard size.

I just tried the cable on my iPod Touch and on my iPad Mini 2 Retina. The controls for the volume and pause/resume do NOT work with the extension in place. I assume the results with an iPhone would be the same.

I'm sorry to hear this about your case. Mine fits perfectly and has never slid off, and I use it constantly. My only complain is with the ear buds that slide off my ears and I've had to use old ones.

The set of earbud plugs may have a issue if the wire is damage, but my set of skulls utilizing the foam size adjustable cover have protected 2.0 earbuds output microphone speaker buttons for sound quality. I hope your using these accessories, which are usually detachable

It is made for an Apple device. Other devices could use the audio jack only, but won't have the control functionality.

That is what I have (the l shaped), the apple ear buds work without shaving the case so they are a little longer.

Yesss! This is an issue, only apple headphones or headphones with the same diameter jack as apple headphones will fit through the opening in the case.

how would an extension control anything, all it does is pass thru the data from one end to the other and out to the earbudz, so your saying that it doesn't work correctly??

I can't fit any of my headphones into the jack. The case is too thick and the headphone jack can't reach the phone inside. I can't find an auxiliary cable that fits it either. I just bought $300 Bose headphones for conference calls and they do not fit in this case. And you can't take off the case easily (which is good) but now I can't even try to use my new headphones. ANYONE FIND A CABLE THAT FITS OR AN EXTENDER?

I have the se215 earbuds and they work mostly. As with other reviews the right earbud kinda goes in and out of sound if you move too much. But only for a split second, im thinking of using sugro molding glue to keep them in place. The mic and volume buttons work fine with my iphone 6 plus.

I am not sure if you can use the mic or remote on Apple ear buds because I use aftermarket ear buds when using the Jabra Street and it has those features built in and they are more convenient and easier to use.

Not sure, I have tried several with this extension and non of them work. I tried my apple ones that came with my ipod and some from my HP computer and a pair of Sony ones. Non of them worked with the extension (would only play in one ear) If I removed the extension and plug any of the earphone directly into the device all the earphones work great. Maybe something is wrong with only the extension I received? I cannot imagine that all of them are bad.

Headphone control still work... Note that the splitter has 3 rings in the tip... That's for the headphone control

Hi Sheila,I initially bought these earbuds to use with another Samsung phone (not Galaxy) and they work as far as listening to my MP3 player. HOWEVER, I could not use the remote call or shuffle button so I gave them to a friend who has an iPhone. Like T. Shilling also noted - the instruction sheet that comes with it identifies the iPhone Models it is compatible with. IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SPECIAL IPHONE CHIP in their software. The ear plug fits standard ear jacks so you could use them to hear your music only. I don't know about the Galaxy phones, but assume will have similar result. Hope this helps. - Starrysky Hi Sheila,I initially bought these earbuds to use with another Samsung phone (not Galaxy) and they work as far as listening to my MP3 player.
