This is a simple question.
I want the new Iphone EarPod to work with Samsung/Nokia phones.
I tried to use the headphone to Samsung phones. Here is the result
Here is the Universal 4-pole Cell Phone headset pinout, the one which Samsung/Nokia make.
Now the question is:
-
How can I make a converter/adapter for the pin to work well with Iphone EarPad? (I don't want to cut the wire and check which wire works for which function)
-
Is there a way to make a simple circuit within the connector which makes the impedance match?
I'm really not in the electrical engineering field, so please consider me as an absolute beginner.
I don't care whether the play/pause/vol.up/vol.down functions works or not. I'll consider it as an added advantage if it is possible. 🙂 But I need mic & the speakers to work well.

Essentially, some Android phones have a L/R/Mic/Gnd setup while the iphone has L/R/Gnd/Mic. Switch those two pins around (3 and 4) and you should get the mic and the play/stop button to work. The Next/Prev button or volume control are not as simple. – Passerby May 9 '13 at 3:40
