Finally, headphones with official Galaxy volume/playback control - Sennheiser MM 30G

[twister6]

Sennheiser just announced @CES a new line up of products, including MM 30G designed specifically for Samsung Galaxy phones. No more cheap ebay imitations or dealing with low sound quality of bundled earbuds

Sennheiser MM 30G - - In-ear headset for Samsung Galaxy devices

These one should have fully featured volume up/down and multifunction button for play/pause/call/GoogleNow. Also should have an enhanced bass sound and passive noise isolation.

A detailed review to follow once I get my hands on it

It's about bloody time. Can't believe it took anyone this long to come up with one.

I've been using the beats headphones that came with my Rezound. They work just fine. I guess I didn't know this was an issue. I really like Senns so I'll have to check these out.

Thanks

The problem is that a lot of headphones companies were still focusing on iDevice only specific in-line remotes, thinking that's where the profit is. With Android 4.x and the latest Galaxy stuff, the multifunction button of iDevice remotes became functional for play/pause/call (I tested a ton of those with Note 2, always worked!). Then, I noticed a number of manufacturers started to realize they are alienating Android users by labeling "iPhone" remote control, so they start making in-line remotes without volume buttons or with a volume slider to make it universal. Now, finally they came to their senses, and I hope more to follow it. A lot of premium on-/over-ear headphones have removable 3.5mm cables, and the same with in-ear headphones with a new mini connectors (like stuff from Westone, Shure, and Logitech/Ultimate Ears). Might as well include 2 cables, one for iPhone and one for Galaxy since these are two dominating smartphones anyway.
