Audio cable for IOS/android, is it different?

Lord Blue of Screenshire · August 26, 2020

Hi y'all,

I'm filling-out a digital form to get a replacement cable for the audio cable(regular headphone jack cable) of my headphones (B&O H9 3rd Gen). Mine doesn't have in-line controls, but the only replacement part on the producer's website is one with in-line controls which explicitly states it's for IOS. I have an Android phone so I was wondering whether the cable (or the in-line controls) would work on my phone (Samsung S10).

Kind regards,

LB

Edit: spelling is hard.

It depends on the manufacturer, but generally for iOS-specific inline controls play/pause will work, but other media controls will not.

It might not work, Apple's 3.5 mm jack is different from android.

Test it with older air buds b4 ordering.

The cable has arrived and this is true: pause/play works, but volume control doesn't. Is there a way around this?

Nope, this is a hardware limitation unfortunately. You can read more about this at https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/189523-final-soultion-why-most-headsets-wont-work.html.
