Does anyone know any earphones whose volume buttons works with windows phone (lumia 1520 to be precise)?

Thank you

At least for earbuds, my Samsung S3 stock earbuds remote works perfectly. If you have some soldering skills, you can buy an S3 earbud set, cut the wire before the wire splits to each earbud, and solder an female 3.5 mm jack. Then, you can plug in any headphone with a 3.5 mm male adapter into the female jack and have the remote work.

Certainly not Apple's they have some unique pinout no other phone can deal with.

Forgot to mention, these adapaters may work:

It's item # 291132025127 on eBay.

Then, you can plug in your headphone of choice and have an inline remote. I haven't tried these so I don't know how well they work. I just purchased a Sony wireless bluetooth adapter for my headphones to plug into to turn my wired headphones into pseudo-wireless. The adapter has can control volume up/down forward/back mute capability.

There was a company making different headsets for different OSs the product name was five I guess.
