I had an iPhone 3GS up until a week ago. I decided to try the Galaxy S5 so I bought it. However, I’m wondering if I should go back to an iPhone because I can’t seem to figure out a way to control music and podcasts via headphones like I could on the iPhone. I've tried a couple different podcast apps and a headphone controlling app. Podcasts (and sometimes music) are a big part of my daily commute so I’d really like to have as much control as possible. I would need to exchange my S5 for an iPhone in a few days when the return period ends so I’m hoping I can get an answer pretty quickly.
What I would like to know is:
1) does the iPhone 6 still have the ability to have the following controls via headphones still?
2) I have never tried Bluetooth headphones. Will all "iPhone 6 compatible" Bluetooth headphones work like the regular ear buds headphones? In other words, will they have all of these controls? (assuming iP6 has controls above)
Thanks!
What I would like to know is:
1) does the iPhone 6 still have the ability to have the following controls via headphones still?
- Podcasts: fast forward / rewind within a podcast (or jump forward/back a few seconds), volume, pause/play
- Music: next/previous track, fast forward/rewind, volume, pause/play
- I am open to paying for apps, or other ways if needed.
2) I have never tried Bluetooth headphones. Will all "iPhone 6 compatible" Bluetooth headphones work like the regular ear buds headphones? In other words, will they have all of these controls? (assuming iP6 has controls above)
- If you kow of specific over-ear types that work well, please let me know!
Thanks!
