Fast forward/rewind capable headset for Audible (iPhone style)?

avid01 · 07-29-2013, 02:01 PM

I need the exact function like this in Audible:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Page 31, 2-3 clicks for fast forward and rewind. Apple has the solution.

Amazon owns Audible. For audiobooks it is very important that you can rewind back. The Amazon customer service gave a very lame answer, namely, a search for "Kindle Fire headsets" on their site. LOL

Perhaps you have a more insightful view on the issue? It is already confusing enough that Apple, various Andorid manufacturers, Nokia and god knows who has different headset remote payouts and in most cases the fast forward and rewind issue is an afterthought. Not a big deal for music but crucial for audiobooks.

I have the future Amazon phone in mind for a device for Audible consumption.

This forum is for Kindle Fire.... perhaps you have better luck in the Apple forums.

Who know if the supposed Amazon phone will ever come to be at this point. It's been rumored for years now.

Anyway, I can't say I've tried these as after listening to hundreds of audiobooks I've never found much need for FF or RW but maybe these HTC earphones will work for what you want.
