Dr Dre Beats Solo HD Control Talk and Volume?

I have a pair of Beats Solo HD (Red) and the control talk and volume control won't work on my devices, I've tried it on my Iphone 3GS, Ipod and Nexus 7 and it doesn't work.Am I missing something in which I have to enable it in settings or something?

That is what can happen when you mistake fashion accessories for real audio equipment.

  • Why remote control on beats by dre won't work? The beats solo hd remote and mic doesn't work for my iPhone 4. I was wondering what is the problem and how I can fix it.
  • Why don't Beats by Dre Solo HD Work w/ iPhone 5? Got some beats solo hd to go with my iPhone 5 and the speaker doesn't work on the right side. After I checked, it says the solos are only compatible up to the 4s. Anyone know why the iPhone 5 isn't on this list?
  • Why do so many people hate on beats by dre? I paid 350 and the sound quality is amazing on my iphone 4s. People say they are a waste of money, but the people who say that is because they can't afford them. The design of the headphones are great so stop hating on them because you know you test them out every time you go to best buy haha.
  • What's better and iphone 5s or dr.dre beats? I have an iphone 4 but I wanna upgrade it to an iphone 5s. My parents said I have to chose one of those electronics. I want the phone because it has finger print and I want the headphones because I'm going to be traveling a lot this year so I don't know what to get.
