[Inna Lok]

That's because, as mentioned earlier, Apple wires their headphones a bit differently. It has nothing to do with Samsung being sneaky. Their headphones will work with any non-iphone but the Apple headphones will only fully work with Apple products.

So, if we're being fair, Apple IS the one being sneaky...not Samsung.

So is that why my apple earbuds work perfectly fine with my HTC inspire and most other devices but not my new Galaxy s3? Apple's wiring make sense from a sound design and electrical standpoint by shielding the mic from the headphones amd separating them from each other with ground. It results in less interference and clearer sound.

Um, OK. I posted that nearly two months ago. But enjoy. :thumbup:

Hi,

Does anyone have tried to make a phone call actually with the Apple EarPods plugged into a Samsung Galaxy S4?
A mention about wether the microphone actually works or not would be helpful...

Could anyone having both pieces of device have a try about this?
I would be very thankful!

Yes I use my apple headphones with the GS4 all the time. The pause button works and the microphone works great! No volume up or down though

Apple is using a different standard headset wiring compare to Android. It's control buttons are not compatible with Android device. . See more details here.

Thanks for your feedback.
Have you tried out the microphone during a call or a record for example?

Regards,

No the mic does NOT work. I have Samsung S4 and yesterday i brought latest 2014 earpods thinking that the sound and mic quality will be better. To my surprise mic dont work at all. It gives a beep sound at the other end. I tried the same headphones on other phones like lenovo and htc ...it worked fine on those but with S4 its not working and that is the reason I googled and came here to checkout what others has to say. In short I buyed those earpods and its not useable to me coz i dont own an apple phone.

The Apple Earpod that I bought last month for my iPod work with Samsung Galaxy S4. The microphone works great with my phone, I made many phone calls with the Earpods and the other side doesn't notice anything weird, but the buttons do not work as they do on the iPod. The play/pause button works with music, not with other apps. It is capable of going to the next song by clicking two times. Three times just works as if you click two times and click once, so it goes to the next track but puts it on pause. Clicking and holding (one two or three doesn't matter) brings you to the voice control. I hope this helps you. Have a great day!
