Hi Alan,
I can't confirm about the remote buttons with the adapter, but I would hazard a guess and say they will work fine, there is no way Apple would break such important functionality. As for the audio quality I think it's comparible. I just bought a set of Lightning Earpods and tried both them and my old 3.5mm Earpods on my 6S Plus and I can't say I noticed a big difference. The new ones sounded a bit fuller, but as I said in another message, my old Earpods have been submerged a few times, afterwards they sound pretty tiny and then once they dry out they seem fine again, but I guess they aren't as new any more, either. I happened to see on the Apple Store app under Accessories and Headphones that there is a company called Audieze or something like that and they make some high-end Lightning earphones, here in Canada they range from $600 Canadian to over $1,000 Canadian, but I guess you have to compare Apples to Apples so to speak which means you would need a $600 or $800 3.5mm headset to compare to one of these high-end Lightning ones and maybe at that price point you would hear a difference. All in all I think with a $35 set of Earpods (in Canadian funds) you won't notice much of a difference between 3.5 and Lightning.

I've read a lot about the removed headphone jack in the iPhone 7 and Apple's wired adapter for use with headphone jack earphones and its push to the $160 wireless airpods coming out in late October. I haven't seen much about the sound quality using the lightning adapter wired earpods provided with the iPhone 7. I know I saw posts from audiophiles when the headphone jack removal was rumored at how much higher quality audio could be provided via the lightning connector. Can anyone who has an iPhone 7 comment on how they perceive the audio quality with the lightning wired earpods versus how it was with wired headphone jack earpods on an older iDevice? I know this is a bit of apples to oranges but I'm just curious in general terms. I also would like to know if the remote and volume buttons on the old headphone jack earpods still work when connected to an iPhone 7 using the short adapter provided with the phone. I'm a big user of my wired earpods and since I have a couple of backups, I want to ensure that they work completely with an iPhone 7 using the adapter. Thanks in advance for your comments.
