So i got these on the last drop and I am happy with them. They sound great for the price and what I use them for (Movies/Videos on my iPad mostly). My only issue is the wire which is why I gave them a 4 star rating. Initially I thought the I was able to get the in line control to play/stop/skip my audio, but when I couldn't get it to work I thought to myself I must've been wrong. The other day out of nowhere when I plugged these back in, the music started automatically and then Siri kept activating. I was able to mildly control the music and Siri but then after I unplugged them I could not get it to work next time I tried to use it. To double check I read about it again and YES the control is supposed to work. So to get to the point, it appears that the flimsy wire and control on it does not work as intended so I definitely received a faulty pair. Now to try to rectify the situation with Massdrop because although Koss has decent warranty, I should not have to pay to fix something that was clearly DOA.

KioshiThe problem is that Apple wires their TRRS headphones and device jacks different than most other devices. I have a ton of Koss headphones with several different remote designs, including these, and they all work just fine on all of my Android devices (as well as Windows PCs and Chromebooks and a variety of other devices like desktop and portable amps). However. when I connect them to an "l" device, either to a 3.5mm jack or using the lightning to 3.5mm adapter, I have nothing but problems. Using headphones with a standard TRS post (no remote/no mic) isn't an issue, but when using headphones or buds with a TRRS post to support remote/mic function many headphones won't work on "I" devices unless you purchase I device specific products. Here's an article on the subject. https://help.longtailproducts.com/hc/en-us/articles/207970396-Smartphone-Headset-Standards-Apple-iPhone-AHJ-CTIA-OMTP
