Apple advises that you should not use compressed air when cleaning your iPhone:
Same for me with iPhone 6 and QC25, but not sure if it has ever worked before...
Only start/stop and volume works..
I'm having the same issue with my Klipsch Image ONE headphones on my iPhone 5 running iOS 8.3.
Sound works completely fine, but the controls don't work at all.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
I've already tried that, but unfortunately it didn't help 😟
I've also checked the headphone jack for lint, reset my network settings, and tried the headphones on other devices (unfortunately they're also running 8.3). The controls on the Apple earbuds which came with the iPhone work fine.
I know I could try a factory reset, but I really don't feel like it because restoring is a hassle...
If a different set of earphones are working fine, odds are the problem is with the Klipsch set. You might want to investigate getting service from Klipsch if they are still under warranty.
Hi All,
I have Bose QC20i headphones and have the same issue on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3.
Original Apple headphones remote works fine and my Bose one works fine on an iPhone with a lower iOS.
So what is the solution for this ? Swap the phone ?
Reboot, Hard Reset and killing the Music App did not help.
Contact Bose
What can Bose do about it ? Obviously it is an iOS or iPhone issue, the headphones work fine one an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.2

That is your first clue.
Yeah ... both devices work indipendently from each other.
The Headphones are fine. Checked them with multiple iPhones.
Updating my iPhone 5 to 8.3 now and will check if the behaviour changes.
Anyway I tend to have the iPhone 6 swapped to a new one that works ...
I am having issues with my 3 button in line mic as well.
Klipsch R6i, iPhone 5S, 8.3
I went through one pair and returned them. On my second pair which quit working recently. On both pairs my 3 button mic stopped worked after a few weeks of use. Can hear sound through them fine from the Apple music app, podcasts, phone calls, and Songza. No functions work though. The 3 button mic on the standard iPhone ear buds works fine but I am having other issues with that pair as well.
Issues involving the default Apple ear buds involve random pausing of my music when I bend down or squat down and the phone is in my pocket. Also I believe somehow it ended my phone call twice. Phone worked fine with the ear buds removed after I had called back for the third time. I chalked that up to strangeness originally but then I was on the phone with my dad and the call ended abruptly after 4 minutes and my phone started playing Sean Kingston "I Can Feel It" over the cloud. Removed the Apple car buds, called him back, and continued to talk for 12 minutes just fine.
I have cleaned the head phone jack with the paper clip/scotch tape trick until it was coming out clean.
Hey folks, just had this issue with my new pair of Bose QuietComfort 20 earbuds. The Bose remote could not control my phone, although the Apple earbuds still worked. I checked my headphone jack and found a bunch of lint! See picture. Bose controls work great now. Be thorough with your lint checks!
This worked like a charm - and I didn't even remove that much lint. Thanks!
This fixed everything. Hats off, o great and wise enemy of lint.
Thasks!
