Re: Can anyone recommend in-ear headphones for Moto X 2nd Gen.
I was in same boat as you. Now my best understanding is also that on android phones vol up/dn is not supported (unless you are okay with resistive volume control slider). Only play/pause/rewind is supported.
Anyways, I cannot post links yet, search for "Scosche Increased Dynamic Range Noise-Isolation Earphones with tapLINE II Remote and Mic" on amazon.
I have compared these to $50 Sony's and also to the klipsch s4's and to think sound 01.
These are not as well built as the klipsch's and probably not quite the audiophile quality. But if you are gentle on your stuff (I have had these for a year now) and are looking for a warm sound with decent bass and lots of clarity with little to no distortion, then I recommend you try these out.
I believe scosche have a comparable ear bud set with the resistive volume slider I mentioned. I personally did not go that route.
