I bought a pair of Bose headphones, and the volume controls wont work on my android phone!

I use a Sony Z3 compact, running Android 4.4.4. They are Bose SoundTrue headphones. How can I get them to work? Is it possible?

Some headphones do not work. For example, I have and LG G3 and Sol Republic Tracks HD. The pause buttons I. The headphones wire works, but the volume ones do not.

Thanks for the useful info. Xperia range has a history of poor audio output and I use app to make its songs sound clearer.
