Headphones prev/next button event detection in Javascript

I am wondering if there is an event or straightforward way to capture prev/next button on headphones other than keydown/keyup that has been mentioned in this answer which I find very hacky.

Something like:

document.on('next_track_event', e => {
    // next song was requested!
});

Actually there is,

navigator.mediaSession.setActionHandler('previoustrack', function() {
 // User hit "Previous Track" key. 
});

But it's experimental, so not sure about support

Here's a link to know more
