Here's the deal: The shorter cable(s) I got with my Superluxes are way too long as I tend to keep the iPhone in my jackets breast pocket and almost a metre of the cable just hangs in there At work, I'm currently using a pair of LG buds that have a remote, even though only the middle button works with iPhone. What I'm thinking of is making a custom cable with iPhone-compatible inline remote, but cannot find any useful information... Now, I apparently need a 3.5mm right angle TRRS connector, cable etc. I have the earbuds that came with 4S, but it's so tiny that I doubt scavenging the circuitry from that... also, housing the circuitry is another problem to be solved. Apparently the remote housing is easily opened, and the swithes can be rewired...

Just be sure you have the right connector configuration for the right source.
Apple and other 4-pin TRRS jacks have different configurations (wiring) For apple devices you must order apple remote cables.

Yeah If I remember correctly, GND and MIC are swapped. Also, the Apple remote has some other stuff inside, thus basic Android remotes volume controls wont work.

Yep, For Apple the 2nd ring is ground and the sleeve is mic/remote. This won't work on devices other than Apple. Apple also has other pinouts for ipods where the mic is the video out. The mic must have resistance (or must be added in parallel) so it is around 1.6k. Otherwise the iphone will use the mic inside the iphone itself.

I don't care if the mic works or not As my iPhone is just an MP3-player... OP3T for the phone

In that case you can either leave it open (so no mic and no 1.6k) but will probably be able to use the 3 switch options.

The cable arrived finally. To my surprise the end that gors to headphones has also a TRRS-plug, instead of ordinary TRS. Tested with one driver though, and it appears that there are two grounds in that end... The remote works as it should, but also the volume control works. Soon it's time to fire up the Weller
