Is there still a user guide available for the Apple EarPods?

Is there still a user guide available for the apple earpods? I can't remember exactly how to use the control buttons other than volume up and down.

AFAIK Apple no longer provides a specific user guide for the original wired EarPods on their website.


However, the following should be the basic controls:


  • Play/Pause: Press the center button once.
  • Skip to the next track: Double-press the center button.
  • Go back to the previous track: Triple-press the center button.
  • Fast-forward: Double-press the center button and hold on the second press.
  • Rewind: Triple-press the center button and hold on the third press.
  • Answer/End a call: Press the center button once.
  • Decline an incoming call: Press and hold the center button for about two seconds, then release. Two beeps will confirm the call was declined.
  • Switch between calls: If you’re on a call and another one comes in, press the center button once to switch to the new call and put the current call on hold. Press again to switch back.
