Control watch music from earbuds on Ionic

[Fabrizio_71]

Hi there!

I just loaded some music on my Ionic and it sounds great.

The procedure to transfer the music was a little tricky but with patience it worked at the end.

My only remark is that unfortunately I can only raise and lower the volume from the earbuds.

I was wondering if command like Skip Track Back and Forward, Pause and Play will be implemented in the future, as my headset is capable to do it. That would be a five star feedback for the music capabilities of the Ionic!

I've used a few different pairs of bluetooth earbuds with my Ionic and track skipping worked with all of them. A long press on the volume up button skips to the next track and a long press on the volume down button skips to the beginning of the current track or the previous track.

I use Jabra Elite 65t and they works the same with the phone, skipping tracks with long press of volume controls. I will try a different headset. I believed those controls only worked from the watch.

Which brands have you using?

Anker Soundbuds Curve and Soundpeats QY7

I tried my Jabra Elite Sport and they work flawlessly with the Ionic, so something is wrong with my New Elite 65t. I will contact Jabra about this.

Thanks for the hint!

Looking for alternative solutions where everything works

I have skullcandy smokin buds 2 which work fine but keep falling out on runs

I also have Jabra Elite Sport that works fine and do not fall out when you run or exercise.
