Are S5 eabuds Apple-compatible?

Yesterday while walking to the train station from work, the left bud of my Skullcandy earbuds took a crap (AGAIN). Honestly I have no idea how this company stays in business, because they replace the earbuds for free, but they only last a few months, but I digress.

Anyway, when I got home, I switched to the earbuds that came with my S5 (after snapping some foam tips onto them), and they weren't half bad. I noticed that they have a volume rocker, which was a MUCH appreciated feature. Now, does anyone know if these headphones are Apple compatible? I've always ordered one-button headphones for my Android phones, but there are a LOT more choices in the 3-button design. But I don't want to order a set until I know they work. I know there are a lot of former iPhone people here, so I figured it would be a good place to ask.

Being able to control the volume from the headphone cable is worth getting the S5 alone. I've have upgraded ages ago had I known about that.

Thanks!

So I tried it with my ipad and the buttons didn't work. Only the sound worked.

Well I have to have either in-ear or over/on-ear phones. The buds that come with Apples don't work in my ear (I'm missing that little "shelf" they snap into) unless I use tape.

Over/on-ear headphones are kind of icky in the hot weather, so I've been using in-ear phones with Comply foam tips that expand to fit the ear canal.
