iPhone's Best Headphones for Pause/Playback Button

I am looking for the iphones best headphones that allow me to change the song while using the pause button. currently the ones that came with my phone hardly ever change the song when i double click it....it has bcome a hassle to reach into my pocket and change the song while working out.

can any1 reccomend a good product? i checked out the vmoda headphones but they do not offer this feature from a review i read.

any advice?

thanks

I have the Maximo iP-HS2 iMetal Isolation Headset for iPhone. Work great. There is a microphone for talking and also a small button (click once to stop/play, click twice to skip to the next song). They are the in-ear type headphones.

I got it on Amazon for around $60.

Note that you can also buy headphone adapters that provide the same functionality, and then use them with any headphone.

Some good options are the Monster iSoniTalk (iLounge rating: A-), Griffin SmartTalk (iLounge rating: B) and the Shure MPA-3C (iLounge rating: B).

The Shure MPA-3C is obviously designed for users of Shure earphones, and is therefore the adapter that i personally prefer (I use it with my SE210's). Both the Shure and Griffin adapters have you connect your existing earphones to the microphone end, which may be awkward if you already have a long earphone cable. The Monster solution takes a different approach by having you run your earphone cables back to the iPhone, and therefore treating the Mic as a separate extension, rather than in-line with the earphones.
