I bought Miccus SR711 or some number like that from Accessible Electronics for $64.99. You can turn the volume up and down. Sometimes, when you get a new Bluetooth, you have to turn volume up on your iPhone.
Also, this one is completely compatible with my phone. I can navigate in, for instance, Contacts. I had an inexpensive set - just great for hearing, had volume controls and all, paired quickly, really good, only, somehow, I could not navigate easily in Contacts or Settings. They were fine for just hearing VoiceOver, and if VoiceOver was reading text, but when I navigated, it was like when I first tried to use a touch screen. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, December 5, 2019 10:23 AM To: 'VIPhone Email List' <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Anyone know of bluetooth earphones with remote and volume buttons? Hi List, I apologize for another post about Bluetooth earphones but I'll keep this one very specific. I'm a big user of the wired earpods that came with my iPhone 8 and I've gotten very used to being able to control playing media with the remote and volume buttons while the phone is in my pocket. I primarily listen to BARD Mobile books with my iPhone and it is nice to be able to rewind, etc. without removing the phone from my pocket. I've tried a couple of inexpensive Bluetooth earphones but they either did not have remote and volume buttons or the functions available with the remote button were much less extensive than with the wired earpods. Can anyone recommend a set of Bluetooth earphones with a remote and volume buttons? I'm interested in earbuds as opposed to headphones because I use these when I'm walking. And as I said, I'll be using these primarily with media playing apps such as BARD Mobile, Audible, or Music and I want to be able to move forward and backward with the remote, start and stop playback, change tracks, etc. and also control the volume without removing the iPhone from my pocket. The volume isn't as important as the remote features and I don't mind if the buttons I'm seeking are on a wire that connects the buds together or hanging down from the buds. I'll also say that I think all generations of the Apple Airpods are over-priced for the feature set they offer. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
