What remote control options are there for music junkies?

[Mike¬]

Do you remember this good buddy? (original iPod remote)

I currently don't have an iPhone and for listening to music I'm using an iPod nano.
Now I'm considering getting an iPhone 5S and using it as the primary listening device.

But I wonder what options there are for quickly pausing the music or changing volume without grabbing the device itself?
It's really important for me.
The iPhone might be in a backpack or in tight pants and if someone speaks to me, I want to turn it off immediately and not have my music buzz out of the headphones. Also readjusting the volume I do quite often.

Thanks!

Hmm... I didn't know that the thing on the standard earbuds had a pause button.

Then I'd probably be best of just cutting the cable and soldering a connector to it (in order to connect decent earbuds without harming them).

If there are less clunky solutions, ideally a tiny bluetooth remote control, please tell me.
