Has anyone had problems with the volume and start/pause buttons not working with their MP3 players? The buttons don't seem to work with my Samsung smart phone or my Ipod nano.

I have not had problems with my ipod nano or my nexus 4. It is important to note I rarely use them on anything other than my nano. I use them daily for that purpose and have logged hundreds of miles with zero issues. I would buy another of these in a heartbeat.

Yes! I have never gotten FF or RW to work. I really wish I'd never gotten these at all.

Ive been using my Monster iSport with iPod Nano and have not experienced any problem whatsoever. I can pause/turn up/turn down normally.

Monster has a list of compatible devices. It looks like only iDevices fully support the inline controls. http://www.monsterproducts.com/mp3/controltalkworks/

My volume buttons don't work either, I have a Samsung galaxy s3 smartphone. I believe I read somewhere it only works with Apple products. Maybe your version of the nano isn't compatible

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

Hey thank you very much for your info. Is there any better MP3 players? Like which ones?Thank you once again!

Did you ever solve this problem...mine does the same thing and it makes listening to audio books so hard to do. If not...can you recommend a MP3 that does not do this.

Menu functions don't work for me either. I get volume, start-stop, and track jump forward & back. I'm using an original Mini, with 32 GB Compact Flash drive, and an older 60 GB classic style, from before they called it the 'Classic'. Perhaps it works with the newer models.

Greetings Anica, The song forward and back buttons also act as volume up and down functions. Simply hold the song forward button down for a few seconds and the volume should go up. Please let us know if you have any additional questions and enjoy your ShowerSong! Sincerely, Get Happy Giving

It works fine for my ipod, and just tried it on my Samsung S5 ... it plays, pauses and skips just fine but does NOT control the volume. I've been using these head phones for almost a year and have had no problems using them with my ipod . I don't usually listen using my Samsung phone but tried it to answer this question, hope it helped.

Almost all the controls work on Android... I haven't tested the microphone function yet, but the pause/play/next button (one button with a series of taps skips or pauses, etc) work fine. However, the volume control does not. Easy enough to get to used to, still would have been nice to see the same capability across Android as well...

On the set that i got, the play,stop button never worked to skip,stop or play. In fact it never really worked at all. I think the only thing that it was good for was to pick up phone calls. Other than that the button just got in the way and when touched would just stop the music for a few seconds randomly in one of the ears. Pretty sure this was a malfunction though, as once or twice the button did seem to randomly work properly. i.e. skip, stop, play. hope that helps.

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.

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.

I did not facing this problem. I have more than 100 songs (mp3), and it working well.At first, I also wonder it will function correctly, so i have tried to press next/previous button then the songs is randomly changed.So, maybe you can try to press the next/previous button to see whether it change to others song.

Does it work? Not really1) The sound works. 2) Volume controls: I have the iphone 5, the volume controls did NOT work on my phone. 3) Clicker on/off/skip button: The clicker button might work. I bought a S3 and S4 model and both volume controls did not work on either. The clicker button worked on one and not the other. Clicker = picked up a call/hung up, allowed me to move to the next song, stop, start a song.

This does not work "with" an MP3 player, rather it "is" an MP3 player. It has a MicroSD slot to read and play a MicroSD chip containing your MP3 files. It has a 3 button control, left, centre and right. If you briefly hit the left or right button you will regress or advance one song (file) if you hold either button beyond a second or two, they will then function as volume controls. The center button pauses or resumes play. There are no instructions with this product, as the vendor apparantly doesn't feel the need to invest in the effort of providing an English description of the device. This is not a Bluetooth headset, there are other models from this vendor that do provide Bluetooth playback, however be very careful as each model of this headset has a limited function and you must very carefully review the desription to be sure it will do what you want.
