I just learned how the buttons on wired headphones work. I've always wondered because the 3.5mm plug has just four terminals, and they're already occupied by the left and right channels, the microphone and the common ground connection.
To my surprise, it is not difficult to make multiple buttons work using just two pins -- the microphone and ground, in this case. (Does not apply to iPhones.)
The buttons, and there can be up to four of them, use a simple voltage divider network to send commands to the phone they're connected to.
