  • About the earphones

    For iPhone5、Earphones as shown in the photo below are included as standard.。

    This earphone is、It's actually quite functional、while playing on a standard music player.、You can do something like below。

    • Plus ( ) button
      → volume up
    • "-" Button click
      → volume down
    • The middle button single click.
      → pause / resume of the currently playing song
    • The middle button and hold then
      → Siri boot
    • Double-click the button in the Middle
      → the next song play
    • The middle button double click hold and
      → fast forward
    • The middle button triple click.
      → Return to the beginning of the song。If it is the beginning of a song, go back to the previous song
    • The middle button triple click hold and
      → Rewind

    in、Walking Player also fully supports the same features as this standard music player.。

    just、Siri is a bit partial to the standard music player.、When playing with a standard music player, the title of the currently playing song is?” and they will do their job properly.、When playing with Walking Player, say “”Music”Except when listening to music on the app、That operation is not possible。"and、tend to refuse work(T_T)。Walking Player also allows you to control playback with a remote control.、Don't judge Siri just by the app name.、If you try a little harder, you should be able to control playback.。but、When you say "walking player" in solid katakana pronunciation,、It will launch Walking Player.(^_^)。

    In addition、This remote control is possible even without the earphones that come standard with iPhone5.。We have confirmed that you can hear sound and control playback using cheap Bluetooth earphones like the ones below.。

    However, there seem to be some earphones with different standards.、For those who buy expecting remote control function、We recommend checking to see if it says "iPhone compatible".。
