[Q] Do Apple EarPods mic and remote workers with the Z3? topic

I've been trying to find the best non in-ear (ear canal) earbud option for the Z3 and given price and performance it would seem that Apple may offer the best sound quality that also has a microphone and a remote control option. (Sennheiser doesn't appear to make an earbud option with full remote and mic, just remote volume.)

Can anyone confirm whether Apples mic and remote both work with the Z3? How is the sound quality?
