Quality Cheap Earphones

[rm -rf]

I'm looking for a cheap, though decent quality pair of earphones.

Must have:

• Microphone
• Media controls that work with iPhone
• Volume controls
• Preferable less than US$40
• Ships to Australia brand new from Amazon or eBay

I'd say Xiaomi Piston 3 or Piston Hybrid, but they don't work properly with iPhones due to Apple's proprietary tech. 

They're amazing headphones, and the mic and play/pause still work on iOS.

 

ShoppingExpress has them for $40 AUD delivered on eBay

I don't have an iPhone so I'm not sure how well they work, but at least with Android, the Skullcandy Ink'd 2s allow you to play, pause and skip music, I think it probably does the same in iOS but again, I don't have any modern iDevices to test it on. (I could try my old iPod Touch 4th gen running iOS 6 but I'd need to find it again and then charge it.)

 

Just get something running Android problem solved... /s

What do you mean by not working properly?

The remote volume up/down buttons don't work at all on iOS.
