This model says it’s meant for iPod/iPad/iPhones. The picture shows a standard 3.5mm male plug. What’s going to be different about this model that makes it iSpecific?

there are two competing standards for the “Tip-ring-ring-sleeve” 3.5mm plug. these are compatible with the one Apple uses. Pretty much everyone has moved to the CTIA standard, but for a while there it was a crapshoot. note that the “microphone” channel can also be used for inline-on cable remote audio controls too.

The older OMTP wiring standard calls for Tip to be used for left audio, Ring 1 to be used for right audio, ring 2 to be used for microphone, and the sleeve to be used for ground. According to my research, this older OMTP standard is found in old Nokia (and also Lumia starting from the 2nd generation), old Samsung (2012 Chromebooks), old Sony Ericsson (2010 and 2011 Xperias), Sony (PlayStation Vita) and the OnePlus One I used to own before migrating to a Nexus 6 for use with Project Fi.
The newer CTIA/AHJ wiring standard reverses the last two mentioned, so it calls for Tip to be used for left audio, Ring 1 to be used for right audio, ring 2 to be used for ground, and the sleeve to be used for microphone. According to my research, this newer CTIA/AHJ wiring standard is used in products from Apple, HTC, latest Nokia, latest Samsung, Jolla, Sony (Dualshock 4), Microsoft (including Surface, Lumia, and XboxOne controller with chat adapter) and most Android phones.

I’m going to guess its the audio control buttons. Android headphones can control play, pause, skip, volume and voice assistant functions for androids, but may not necessarily work for iOS.

The difference between iPhone and Android headphones is the standard the volume and playback controller use. Apple uses a different protocol for them.

So are we talking about a volume control that’s on the cord of the headphones?

If I controlled all of that on the phone, then would it matter what device the headphones were plugged into?

It’s the audio control cables. I own the headphones if you want a user perspective or have questions. I LOVE them though.

So I could plug it in to my Android phone and talk on the phone? I can change the volume with the phone itself, correct?

If you’re controlling everything from the phone, you have nothing to worry about. In fact pause, play and volume controls should still work from the headphones. The skip and siri stuff, I’m not so sure about.

Honestly, all of the features should work on any smartphone today.

if it says it’s for Apple devices it should be CTIA
According to my research, this newer CTIA/AHJ wiring standard is used in products from Apple
