iPod touch Earphones

[Aangair]

Can you people help me please?
My earphones that i got with my iPod touch 4g 8gb do not have the volume switcher on them. The earphones that I had gotten only had the earphones nothing else. My friends that got their earphones even some 3rd gen have the volume button switcher. Does anyone know why this is?

that is because the iPod touch 3rd gen has voicecontrol, but doesnt have a build in mic, so there's a mic in the volume switcher. Your iPod Touch 4th gen has a build in mic next to the camera.
at least, I think this is why...

Apple only included earphones with the volume adjustors and microphone in the 32gb and 64gb versions of iPod touches. I have a white iPT 4g as well and I didn't know about it at the time either.

My headphones from my iPod Touch 64 GB came without any volume or microphone features. Plain ol' headphones.

In any case, volume switch or not if you enjoy music you should get rid of them as soon as you can. I find it pretty amazing how much people are willing to spend on music players, yet often neglect the actual headphones or speakers (or even paying for the actual music).
These days you can get great quality ear and headphones pretty cheap, I'm currently using a pair of Shure SE215's, although I find them a little disappointing. Still miles better than the included buds, and not just sound quality - fit, comfort and sound isolation is all fantastic.

Why not kill two birds with one stone? You can get relatively cheap earphones with a mic/volume switcher designed for iPod/iPhone.
