Headphones with music controls

Does anyone have any recommendations for headphones either wired or wireless for the Triumph? Mainly for while running. Music controls are a must, volume, skip forward and back and pause.

Looking at the Motorola S10's but wasn't sure they were compatible.

Thanks
 
Im using skullcandy heavy medal yes medal not metal. I use it with pandora most of the time mic button when press will pause the music it can also be use to end calls the volume buttons not working with pandora the mic havent tried using yet during calls. The sound that it creates is pretty amazing. Havent tried with mp3 yet not sure if skip function will work.
 
I tried my regular headset and found that anything coming from the data side of the phone doesn't register.
So I paired my IOGear GBMH211
stereo Bluetooth headphones and I get great sound from Skype, internet radio and stored music and videos. plus, it has a microphone built in.
Unfortunately, I just tried to find a place that sells them and it seems they're not for sale anymore. But there are many alternatives to them.
I use them for running, biking and working around the house. they average about five hours of usage before recharging.
Maybe you can find them but if not, I've heard good things from runners of the Bluetooth headphones that securely wrap around the back of your head. I hope this helps a little.
 
Even though these aren't for running I use the Dr Dre studio beats and the controls on it works perfectly fine in PowerAmp.

I absolutely love my Nokia BH-214's they are a dongle that you can plug your fav headphones into and they are super loud, have great bass response and control play, pause, ffd, rwd as-well-as phone functions .

This is what I wear when I run on the treadmill at work and have been using them for a year.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for something like this forever. Basically just something to control music while I'm driving.

And as far as headphones, I purchased these a while back: Amazon.com: Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Black)[Retail Packaging]: Cell Phones & Accessories

They have music controls on the right earphone, and have a built-in mic for making/receiving calls.

The only downside is I hear a somewhat faint hiss or buzz in one of the earphones. It's not very noticeable when music is playing but it's annoying when there's silence. It may just be that I got a defective unit, but it's not bad enough that I'm going to bother returning/exchanging it.
