>> 
>> 1. Play or pause media: Press the center button once to pause your song

>> 
>> 4. Skip back to the previous track/chapter: To go back to a previous
>> track quickly press the center button three times.
>> 
>> 5. Rewinding: You may be noticing a theme with this one. To rewind

>> 6. Answering or ending a phone call: Answering a phone call is like

>> want to hang up press the center button again.
>> 
>> 7. Decline incoming calls: Sometimes you don't want to talk to people.
>> Apple understands, so to decline a phone call simply hold down the
>> center button for two seconds and then let go. You'll hear two beeps
>> once you let go to confirm that you successful declined the call.
>> 
>> 8. Switch from a current call to an incoming call: If you're talking to

>> the center button once to put your current call on hold. When you're
>> done, press it again to switch back.
>> 
>> 9. Switch to an incoming call while hanging up on your current call:
>> Sometimes you need to switch to an incoming call and hang up your

>> down the center button for two seconds and let go. Much like when you

>> 
>> 10. Use Siri: Maybe while you're listening to your favorite playlist you

>> device you can activate Siri by pressing the center button once and
