headphone/Earbuds for Galaxy SIII 19300

[BazzG]

I've recently transferred from an iPhone 4 to the Galaxy SIII and am somewhat bemused by the fact that there doesn't seem to be any real alternative to the supplied earbuds.

I have a pair of Sennheiser buds that I got for the iPhone, which work OK, but the inline controls don't work (except the play/pause/call button)

Are they are any 'buds or even over-ear headsets that have inline controls that actually work with the GS3?

I also use a Plantronics bluetooth headset which works fine but is pretty crap for listening to music or podcasts.

I'd be looking for something along the lines of the Sennheiser ones.

I think these should work, although I can't give you the 100% guarantee as I don't have them:

They look okay but again, they don't have the volume controls.

I suppose I'll just have to use the Senns as it looks like there's none with In line volume controls that will work with the s3.
I with the manufacturers would just agree on a standard for stuff like this.

Hmm seems to be a gap in the market here. Wonder why a manufacturer hasn't stepped up with earbuds for android.

Probably because they know they can sell earbuds for ?200 to an iPhone user but not to a Samsung user.

Or am I just too cynical?
