Oh my god!! Thank You!!! Here I was thinking they'd fallen out of my bag somehow when walking out of the T-Mobile store a few weeks ago when I got the phone and noe I realized T-Mobile is just being ****ty. They really do suck sometimes, I'm beginning to suspect they have a bias against HTC. When I walked into the store undecided on whether or not to upgrade my Galaxy S4 to an S5 or an HTC One M8, all the reps could talk about was how the Samsung was the better phone and it included so much more than the M8. They said that the M8 is just pretty but not really user-friendly and all it's really good for is listening to music over the speakers.
Great, so now I've got to keep using my Apple Earpods, I was hoping to get earbuds with volume control functionality, I guess not.
