This article will explain how to use the Apple earphones with a remote and mic.
.
The volume up and volume down buttons are located at the top and bottom of the remote, of course, and are identified with their (+) and (-) symbols. The center button, in gray, has a wide variety of uses.
- Single click: Play/pause current track
- Double click: Go to next track
- Triple click: Go to previous track
- Click and hold:
- On an iPod: Will speak your current song title
- On iOS: Will open Voice Control / Siri
- On an iPod shuffle: Change playlist
- Click and hold until you hear a tone, then click to select the playlist you want when the playlist title is spoken
The microphone is located on the back of the remote. The built-in mic is great when making calls, talking to Siri, and more while the headphones are plugged in. On the newer earphones, EarPods (right), the microphone is not visible on the exterior, but it still has a microphone.
The remote and mic can be found just below the right earphone. The volume controls on EarPods are bigger than they are on the older headphones. The tiny slots on the head of the EarPods have air flowing through them. By allowing air to flow, the speakers can move more freely, allowing for greater, richer sounding bass. There is a speaker on the face of the earbud and one on the side that sends sound directly to your ear drum.
