Before Christmas I was speaking with two colleagues and recent iPhone adopters about headphones. They were examining my Sony MDR-EX71s (white, short cable) connected to Griffin SmartTalk. I mentioned the SmartTalk gives third-party headphones a button and microphone. I was asked if you could answer calls with the button to which I said, "yes, it does all the same things as the included headphones". To which the reply was, "the included ones have a button?". Yep they certainly do.
The headset included with iPhone features a microphone and an integrated button that allows you to answer and end calls easily, and control audio and video playback. Plug in the headset to listen to music or a phone call. Callers hear you through the headset microphone. Click the mic button to control music playback and answer or end calls, even when iPhone is locked.
