So, I have some ibeats headphones that come with my HTC Rezound. I've used them a lot more than my Koss Ksc75 primarily because of the built-in play/skip/back buttons. However, I lost one of the ear cushions and now they're painful to wear, so I was wondering if there was some kind of. . .attachable thing that I could connect to my Koss that'd allow me to play/stop songs, skip forward or back without having to mess with the phone itself? I haven't had much luck finding anything. Thank you for any type of help. :cheer:

That some kind of attachable thing is called a headphone remote. :P

Oh yeah? I wasn't sure what it was so "Attachable volume control" was the first thing that came to my mind. Well, that may explain why I had trouble finding stuff. . .*Goes to research*

I've tried to briefly take a look as well and found that they're hard to find for Android, yet there's a few available for the fruit-brand devices.
If you're good with DIY stuff, you could try to hack such a device to (hopefully) work with your phone: http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/

Interesting, that method is. I'd definitely be willing to try it, provided I can get the stuff for it.
