Looking for recommendations for wired Android earbuds

I have been looking for new earbuds to use with my Android-based phone. I have some pretty specific, but not unusual requirements. But, my head hurts after attempting to narrow things down. Therefore, I am turning to the PPOT brain trust for assistance. Here is my short list of needs:
  • Must be wired earbuds. I really don't want Bluetooth as it would just be something else I need to charge.
  • Microphone noise cancelling. This is something that I would really like, but most sites or brands do not even list this as being a feature. My phone has this on the built-in microphone, but my current earbuds do not. I am often on the phone on the raised-floor in one of our data centers which are noisy. I'd like to filter out as much background noise as possible when I am speaking.
  • Android controls on the in-line remote. Most earbuds made for iDevices will not work.
  • Decent sound.
  • Moderately priced.

Based on the above, what would you recommend?

I got in on a Kickstarter for these earbuds..

Forte

They sound great... and have phone controls... not so sure about noise canceling.

What makes me offer this link is that I got in on the Kickstarter with the lowest price earbud they offer...


After using them for a few months.. I jumped off a treadmill and forgot to unplug the earbuds... and ripped the wire out of the connector... So I sent an email to Forte... asking if it could be repaired....

They simply sent me there top of the line earbuds as a replacement..


Lifetime warranty!!! No questions....
