Basically every remote that is on headphones with a cable. Apple devices can nearly all be controlled by e.g. the remote of EarPods, from iPod to iPhone, even MacBooks with 3,5mm plug support these controls:
vol+ [upper button]
play / pause [middle button]
vol- [lower button]
next [double tap play]
previous [triple tap play]
fastfwd [double tap play AND hold on second tap]
rewind [triple tap play AND hold on third tap]
Unfortunately Apple uses CTIA specs and most non Apple devices use OMTP - so EarPods do not work the same way on Android devices and Android apps often do not support all of these shortcuts.

Apple really did a good job for the controls, but the hardware (earpods) are really poor quality compared to similar priced in ears (e.g. house of marley or soundmagic e50c).
- noxvilleza 4y agoGotcha, I didn't know the names off-hand but turns out this doc I'd read does have them specified[https://source.android.com/docs/core/interaction/accessories/headset/jack-headset-spec https://source.android.com/docs/core/interaction/accessories...]. I don't have any Apple products so definitely something that flew under my radar.
