I’m waiting for my Pixle 2 to arrive.

ive just read they don’t come with headphones which isn’t a deal breaker in itself, but I do use the little volume button thing on my iPhone headphones to answer calls, change tracks etc when I’m riding sometimes? Can this be done, can you buy generic Android headphones with buttons?

I use bluetooth headphones so all that works fine.  Your phone will come with a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor but I don’t know what functionality that gives.

Got some skull candy blurtooth ones where the buttons do all the communicating with the phone

Thanks, that’s reassuring.

Generally I’m more than happy to burger off and leave the world behind, but occasionally I’m riding when my wife is on call and I might have to dive home at a moment notice.
