I don't believe so. Look for a thing with three buttons on it, about three-quarters of the way down the (left) wire towards you, from there to the eadPod. (In my previous message I should've said 'bottom', not top! The up and down buttons are in fact volume buttons. the one in the centre of the three does most everything else.

I have parked there but if I slide it forward it just seems to bring the earpieces together is that the part you are referring to

Just a slight correction or two, if i may. if we take the earbuds (earPod, as Apple calls them) as the bottom - the left earPod - the 'control panel' is about 2 inches down from that. that's how it appears on the pair with the 5S.

Hi eleanor,
There are three small 'switches' in the long panel in the left earPod; and the two at 
either end of it are raised above its central recessed oblong or
microphone key. Many of the movements described in the article depend on 
(a) what app you're in, and (b) then pressing any one of these
switches/buttons on, right or left, up or down. (I got my pair with the 
5S.)

Dear Flor and All, first off hope Flor is with us again!!! I read the 
below with interest and felt a bit silly as I kept saying to myself
that my ear buds did not have these little switches.  As a rule I do
not wear the Apple buds as I do not like putting things in my ears so 
go more for the over ear ones or the after-shocks.  Feeling the info
below was good I got out my ear buds again, yes Apple ones, came with 
each of my iPhones, 5c and 5s.  Can't find these little switches on
either.  Anyone able to help?  The buds in each case came in a case
and within the case the cable is wound round a plastic stand.  I am
just giving this info as additional information regarding the buds I
have.

Eleanor

Here is a post titled, "10 Ways to Control Your iPhone with Your
Apple
Earbuds":
http://www.tuaw.com/2014/07/15/10-ways-to-control-your-iphone-with-your-apple-earbuds/
Longtime Apple enthusiasts sometimes forget that the company is still 
gaining new fans every day. Apple sold 43,719,000 iPhones in the
second
quarter of 2014 alone. That's a lot of people who may not know all of the capabilities of their devices, let alone how to make the most of 
the
earbuds that come with said device. So if you've always wondered how 
to
control your iPhone with just your Apple earbuds or you know a recent 
Apple convert, you're in luck.

We're here to help.

The Basics:

Your Apple earbuds have three controls: Volume Up with a + sign,
Volume
Down with a - sign, and a Center Button in the middle. Even though
there
are three buttons on your earbuds, almost every single command is
controlled via the Center button. The Volume buttons are strictly for controlling sound levels, so congratulations, you've already mastered 
them. Enjoy a cool drink.

Advanced Earbud Controls or How To Master The Center Button:

Now that you know the basics, let's get down to the nine different
ways
you can utilize your Center button to control your iPhone. These
controls also work on your iPad or iPod.

1. Play or pause media: Press the center button once to pause your
song
or video. When you're ready to resume playback simply press it again. 

2. Skip to the next track/chapter: Quickly press the center button
twice
to skip forward.
3. Fast-forwarding: To fast-forward, quickly press the center button 
twice and then hold down.
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
quickly press the center button three times and then hold down.

6. Answering or ending a phone call: Answering a phone call is like
starting or ending a song, simply press the center button once. When 
you
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
someone on the phone with your earbud microphone and another call
comes
in, you don't have to pull out your device to switch lines. Just
press
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
current call simultaneously. Your earbuds have you covered. Just hold down the center button for two seconds and let go. Much like when you decline an incoming call you'll hear two beeps to confirm you've hung 
up.
10. Use Siri: Maybe while you're listening to your favorite playlist 
you
suddenly need to know where Tom Petty is from or search for upcoming 
movie showtimes. When you've got your earbuds plugged into your iOS
device you can activate Siri by pressing the center button once and
holding down. If you'd like to continue a conversation with Siri,
just
press and hold the center button again whenever you want to talk.


We hope you find these tips useful, whether you're a seasoned Apple
pro
or just learning the ropes of your first iPhone. Remember, there is
power in your earbuds. Seize it for your own purposes.
