Hey guys does anyone know of a pair of earphones that are shaped like the apple ones but have all the controls that work with Android devices? Particularly the V40 if that makes an impact I can't use the style that comes with the phone I don't much care for the style that. Goes inside the ear. As the apple ones the volume controls don't work only play and pause does. Thank you!

I have no idea what Apple earphones look like. However, the best earphones that I've found that work perfectly with HTC & LG V40 are by 1More. They make very high quality earphones with three or four drivers. This us what the ear piece looks like: download.jpeg

I've used both the triple & quad driver. You can't loose with either.

Do you mean like Airpods? Huawei Freebuds are shaped and look extremely similar to Airpods. I have a pair, but I've only used with a Huawei phone, I guess they should be no problem with LG or most other Android phones.

I've just realised those Cowin KY07 look identical to the Huawei Freebuds 2 I've got. So could be Huawei had them made by Cowin, and branded accordingly.

Possible, but when I was shopping for those there were millions (well, at least dozens) of black earpod knockoffs. I went with Cowen because I purchased some noise cancelling earphones that worked really well, so I had a little experience with the brand.

Honestly all the earphones I've found aren't still not what I'm looking for they're comfortable but the sound quality isn't the best and the volume controls never work... Still searching!

Try the 1more company. I've used both the Triple Driver and Quad Driver wired earphones. The sound is excellent, they are under $200, and their controls definitely work on the LG V40. They both come with a large variety of cushions, a case and an adapter for airplanes. If you Google either model for reviews, you'll see.
