Why don't my Headphone controls work with my Lumia 920. the Pause button and volume control do not work. I am using Beats headphones. I look at the nokia ones provided and the connections look the same .
Your best bet is to purchase a set of the purity on ear headphones. I think you can get them for $60 on amazon. They sound awful, but they do have one redeeming quality: a detachable cable that has a WP8 compatible three button controller and mic. Consider it a long term investment.
