I picked this up from Amazon, as I'm quite fond of my current in-ear headphones and didn't want to buy something else that had an integrated remote.
Only the main button is supported. Neither of the volume buttons respond.
It works natively with ICS and Galaxy Nexus. If you aren't using a third-party Music App, it will automatically call up the default Music application and start playing. Double-press to skip. No support for triple-press.
Since I use PowerAMP, I'll also mention that the app has an option to respond to Headset buttons. This intercepts the Headset's commands -- you don't get crazy things like two Music apps playing at the same time. Long-press to skip ahead is the default, though an option in settings allows for Double/Triple-press and works as advertised.
Hopefully this helps some of you looking for Android headset remotes without having to switch headphones/earbuds.
Along those lines, I ended up with a similar product. I had similar results to yours (no surprise.) The cord isn't very substantial and it looks flimsily made, but hey, it was only $5 and it gives me an easy way to pause without digging my phone out of my pocket. I was pleased to see that it works with BeyondPod (with the internal player.)
Hm.... In theory this should also work when using an aux cable to plug the phone into my car stereo for music. Instead of navigating the lockscreen to skip tracks or pause I could just hit the button on the adapter.
I like this!
I use my head unit in my car to stream music from my phone to the car and have been loving it. I have been using it since I had my OG droid and never had any issues. The only thing that i have noticed since getting my galaxy nexus in december is that it seems as if ICS changed the way the pause/play function works with bluetooth audio.
My Pause/play button on my head unit doubles as the head unit's menu button and in the past it was no big deal. The only thing is, I have read that people hold down their pause play button to get music to pause with ICS, but when I hold that button down, it goes to my head unit's menu.
I can play music fine, as I just tap the button and it works, but I cannot pause it. I have tried 6 different music apps and have had no success with pausing music via my head unit.
Has anyone else had this issue or found a way to change the way the bluetooth button actions work? Like is there a way to change the reaction time so I can just tap the button to pause it?
Anyone bump
Anyone tried headphones with media Controller (Like the Galaxy S, the nokia)?
I'm looking for my car setup and I want to put a controller closer to the steering wheel and a microphone integrated, but I don't know it it'l work :|

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.
No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|
Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!
I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.
Cheers!

Hello,
Using the application "Jays Headset Control" (Play Store) we get the same result with the original headphones lg ^^
And you can change the button action in Advanced Mode...

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.
open standards are always to prefer

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?

I have Plantronics Explorer 50 A2DP BT mono headset.
It have a button which can receive calls on one click, or redial on double click. And it works fine.
But it can't control music. I've tried million apps on play store, which allow to re-assign music controls like single, double, triple click for pause / play, prev etc.
But none of those apps seems to have any effect.
My phone is OnePlus One with CyanogenMod, but I have tested that Earphone with two other android smartphones of my friends, and it is not controlling music either on their devices. I am using Meridian player, but as said above, I've tested ot on two other phones with no specific player. Same on YouTube app in my phone. Also, standard wired earphones with mic button works fine for play / pause / next / prev on my phone.
Do all A2DP headsets miss that functionality?
And is there any reason no one made an app to switch music with device like this one? I mean, button sends signal to the phone anyway (f.e. redial). Is this really not possible to remapp this functionality? I really do not need to pick calls with my BT at all - it serves only for music.
Or is there something else I am doing wrong? I was googling few days with no results or similar issue. I am a bit lost.
Really, thanks for anything which will guide me to solution
No one have any knowledge which I do not possess? At least something that would guide me in any direction at all?
Please. How do this signal works? I cant find any information on the subject, nowhere
Maybe tasker could change the music, but would it work with headset like this one?
Whenever I connect my earphones to the device it automatically starts controlling the volume and if I set the remote button to control media playbacks it starts switching to the next media on its own. And my earphones are working normally in other devices. I'm facing this issue after updating my miui to 9.6.3.0 stable version
