Headsets with FF/Rewind and skip?

**nmoira** · 08-12-2012, 12:50 PM

I've started listening to podcasts during my morning walks and I'm wondering if there's a headset (preferably wired, but I'm open to bluetooth) with more than play/pause and volume controls. Occasionally I need to go back a bit if I miss something due to traffic noise, etc., and it's an annoyance to have to dig out the phone each time. It wouldn't need to have a mic for phone use.

If there is such a beast, I'm just not seeing it.

While I have not tried it personally, states that it supports rewind/fast forward functions. You could test it out with your bundled headset

Thanks! I'll check it out.

That does the trick. I hadn't thought of looking for a software solution.

Glad to hear it works

I use Jays Headset Control, but it doesn't support the ff/rw functions.

Yes
List of headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats (not ibeats)
- htc beats solo (pm for just the cable)
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001 (they also have a free app)
Nokia purity (in ear and hd version)

For galaxy s2& 3 the buttons at the end work for volumes and middle is pause/ play (also for Sony android,Nokia lumia and htc windows phone)

For htc android phones the ends buttons are skip track buttons and middle pause/play
