Compatible earphones with inline remote

[Muppet_Rat]

I'm looking to buy some earphones and I have a few requirements, but I'm not sure if the items I'm looking at will work with my Z2. 

Firstly, they must be in ear type.

Secondly, I want an inline remote WITH VOLUME CONTROL and preferably a skip/back function too.

 I've established that on the (genuine) CrApple ones, the play/pause/skip function works, but NOT the volume.  Are their any brands/models that are fully functional?

I'd preferably like some Sony ones, but they seem impossible to find.  All they have are the single button for calls.

You should take advantage of this Noise cancelling headphones

but since you want volume control the only option that will be fully compatible will be bluetooth 

SBH80 are amazing headphones

Thanks for the quick reply Uliwooly.  Just had a brief look, would the micro usb connection be able to plug into the phone?  I'd rather not have to rely on a battery device, and having bluetooth on is going to drain my battery even more.  Are there any non-Sony products that are compatible?

Which micro USB connection? do you meant to ask if you can recharge the bluetooth headphones through a micro USB? if that's the question yes, you can

I just saw that it came with a micro usb connection and wondered if it was the same plug that goes into the phone to charge and would it be able to connect that way?

I am very doubtful that I'll get that headset though.  Is there a non Sony option with the features I'm after?

[Uliwooly]

You can't charge it through the phone, you will have to charge it through a computer or a wall charger or car charger

Is this product compatible?  It does say it has the features, but doesn't say it's compatible with the Z2

It seems that it will but to be 100% certain do contact Sony Xperia Care
