Ultimate Ears UE600vi and powerAMP for Android

Does anyone use the UE600vi with an Android phone running powerAMP to play music?  Do the controls work properly? How about the microphone?

 

I'm getting the UE600 and may spring for the vi model if the controls work with powerAMP for Android (i'm using an HTC Thunderbolt with Gingerbread).

 

Thanks in advance.

For anyone curious about how this turned out, I purchased the UE600vi and they don't work as well as I would like with Android or PowerAmp.

 

First, you have to fiddle with the buttons to get Android to even recognize it as a headset. Then, only the center button works for controls. Finally, the microphone does not work at all.

 

Once it's recognized as a headset you can use the middle button to pause/play, next track, and previous track (you have to set PowerAmp to raise its headset priority and recognize two and three button presses).  That's it. I was able to bring up the voice command function, but with no microphone, that's pretty much useless.

 

I'm going to start looking for a pair of the old model SuperFi 5vi's, which I hear worked perfectly with Android.
