I use the Apple in-ear headset (http://www.apple.com/ipod/in-ear-headphones/) and love them, however, the play, next, and previous buttons do not seem to have any functionality on my phone.
Has anyone managed to get these or similar working with their N1 and if so, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

I've got the i50P or something like that from Sennheiser, they're their $50 in-ears with mic and controls built in designed for iphone, it works fine for me under Mixzing. Anything should work really, try mixzing out.
I've just tried mixzing, seems like an amazing app, but doesn't enable all controls.
single (middle) click for play/pause
double (middle) click to restart
Is there nothing to get all controls? Or even to imitate the N1 headphones.
Nope, there's no standard for stereo headsets. With the addition of volume control, Apple added a microcontroller to the button pod to signal button presses. Some change they made along the way also broke the mic functionality. The original single-button headsets still work, as do compatible accessories. I'm using a Shure adapter with some short-cord earphones for the time being.
I plan to order a second set of HTC earphones and do a podectomy on my Apple IEMs. I figure I can desolder the Apple pod on the right channel cord and wire in the HTC and leave the left channel pads disconnected. As much as I'm down on Apple nowadays, I really like their dual driver IEMs, more than any others I've tried. I'll post info here if I'm successful.
Reviving a dead thread...
Apple Dual Driver In-Ear headphones mic and play/pause button now work with the FroYo FRF50 ROM. Volume controls still don't work, but since the signaling for those is Apple proprietary I'm not holding my breath.
I love the functionality of the N1 headset, but the buds are way too big for my ears!
I can't find anything that has the stop, prev track, next track controls that work with the N1 other than the stock headset.
When I use my Bose In-Ear's on Spotify I have play/pause (1 click) and next track (2 clicks). Good enough for me anyways, although I guess volume controls could be slightly handy.
Anyone knows what are good headphones w/remote and mic for Nexus S? I tried Sony MDR-EX38iP, but encountered two problems: <major> sound volume is very low, and <minor> volume up/down buttons don't work. Any ideas/suggestions?
these are the ones i use. http://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Earpho...JDB6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293580222&sr=8-1
graemegb, do all the remote functions work, e.g. track skip?
I have a pair of iPhone compatiable earphones (Ultimate Ears SuperFi v5i) and only the pause/resume function works. Was the same with the HTC HD7 and Desire HD.
I'm not too fussed about Volume, would just like to be able to skip tracks.
no, the play/pause button works but nothing else
SE MW600 still the best! l2dp and controls.
I have Bose MIE2 and Sennheiser MM60.
The button only works with play/pause.
I'd suggest going for AIAIAI y-com headphones, although they do not include a remote inline for volume. They are great though and I've had them for about a year with no complaints.
Check out http://www.aiaiai.dk/headsets/y-com/y-com-grey.html
I have the grey ones, but they also come in black. Make sure you go for the Y-Com and not the Y-model, those do not have the mic.
You don't have to buy them from their website, a quick search will yield local results for shopping.
I use Sony HBH-IS800 Bluetooth Headphones - basically just two buds connected by a wire. They only have one button which plays/pauses music or answers an incoming call. Good sound quality.
Beats by Dre only has a mic though
Sent from my Nexus S
I recently destroyed my OM headphones that came with the phone and had the arduous task of finding a compatible headset that offered quality and functionality.
I found out that these do not work
iBeats Dr Dre edition- mic does not work and volume buttons do not work (100)
Skull Candy- Mic does not work but the play and pause buttons do(60)
and finally the one that did work
V-moda vibe duo- full functionality but only comes with an answer button which does play an pause. (100)
feel free to add your experience with purchased headsets
Sound quality was the best on V-moda, then iBeats, then skull candy
Skull candy is a company and not a specific headphones... they have many models. As for the skull candy full metal jackets, the mic does work. I cannot compare them to the others mentioned, but the sound is very good.
My Marshall Minors work on the focus. Not the cheapest but they are pretty cool looking and sound great.
this might be a little late but I need some new headphones for use at work and do not want to spend a lot. I searched "ehs60annbe" on amazon and found plenty of merchants selling what appear to be the exact headphones that come with the phone.
These ones are $6.83 +free shipping
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EHS60...EEZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299825988&sr=8-1
I lost my pair that came with the phone, so I was excited to see these.
I ordered a pair and they should arrive tomorrow.
If they are indeed the same as those that came with the phone, I might order me a couple more - I really liked them, and they worked perfectly with the phone (control wise).
Thanks for the post.

Unfortunately I'm having problems with these headphones - for some reason, the controls will only increase the volume - you can't decrease the volume.
Perhaps I received a "bad" pair? Anyone else tried these?
The Focus has a VERY clean audio output. I've fed it into my home stereo and was impressed with the detail and clairity. I listened with Etymotic 6i headphones and was blown away. After that, the included headset sounds muddy with a artificial bass boost.
For those who can afford to splurge on a headset, consider the Etymotic mc3
Any recommendations for matching the original pair that came with the Focus?
My priorities:
-Must be able to trigger voice control
-Must have working microphone
-Must be able to answer/hangup calls
-Must have volume up and down
-Must not be expensive
-Should be gel like for in-ear
I've tried iPhone ones, they don't do volume/up down.
I've tried tried the common silver Samsung one with one button - the button doesn't pick up or hangup calls.
Help!
This ones looks identical to the oem ones and they are pretty cheap!:

http://www.wpcentral.com/klipsch-working-wp7-compatible-headphones
Headphones that WILL be fully compatible with wp7, and sound pretty decent as well.
Though it will probably be a few more months until they are released.
Anyone had any luck finding headphones with working volume and answer call buttons? Preferably ones with a more sturdy cover over the connector since my cable broke because of too much twisting and bending.

jkimrey, Did you find a solution? I have the same problem. I read somewhere that it's because Samsung is using a newer standard that allows for TV Out or something. But this is really annoying.
same here i cant find any that the buttons fully work on, that i'm willing to buy. I got some on amazon that only volume up works. my wifes blackberry ones that came with her torch work but i cant find them anywhere. The cat ate my original ones

I can say that these are the ones i got from amazon same thing with the button... It doesnt even look the same as the OEM ones.
Has anyone tried the Zagg Smartbuds? they appear to have all the controls that one could want [play/pause, skip FW/BK, Volume, answer/hangup(I assume would work with voice activation as well)] but they are a bit pricey.
Am I the only one who would like a non-in ear headphone that works with the Focus?
At this point, I just want something that's compatible! I have had zero luck so far in getting earphones compatible with my Focus. I too found the common Samsung ones. Thankfully, I got two pairs for less than $10. Guess what they work perfectly with? My effing iPod touch. GAH.
I honestly have no idea why this is so hard...
V-Moda =
I have to second the V-Moda headphones. I'm currently using them in conjunction with Monster replacement foam tips (medium) and the sound is amazing (albeit the highs are a little muffled but the bass is punchy and responsive). It is a one button setup which bothered me at first, but with a dedicated volume rocker on the device it's really not so much of an issue that I thought it would be. If the Focus only had an equalizer of some sort to bring out the highs, these headphone would be perfect. The mic quality in the headset is beautiful and these 'phones are as durable as all heck (they've been: stuck in a car door for 50 miles, went through the wash, stepped on, trampled, chewed on by a dog, caught on bushes etc.) and have never even began to show signs of wear. If you can live with pocket adjusting the volume, I would recommend getting these.
I should probably mention that I DO NOT work for V-Moda despite how it sounds... I just happen to be a sort of audiophile and while the Focus itself doesn't have the BEST sound quality (I'm coming from a Cowon S9 lol) these heaphones help to bring out its above average playback capability. Another side note is that in response to the OP, the Modas don't only pause/play/answer call/hang up. While listening to music playback you can double tap the button to skip to the next song or triple tap it to skip back.

The iPhone headphones work decently. They don't fully work (microphone / volume up and down), but pause / play / next song/ previous song does work. Before the mango update, I was only able to get the play to work. It seems Microsoft is slowly making the iPhone headphones compatible with the Focus.

Does anybody have a link to a hardware specification for what these in-line buttons actually do for the WP7 phones?
Pretty much all the headphones with in-line controls and a microphone have 4 conductors which are:
- left-audio
- right-audio
- common/ground
- signalling/mic
Here is the spec for IPod Shuffle remote headsets:
pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/iphone_headphone_pinout.shtml
david.carne.ca/shuffle_hax/shuffle_remote.html
So the three buttons operate as follows:
Button 1 - short to ground through 10K resistor (up)
Button 2 - short to ground (answer/hangup/play/pause)
Button 3 - short to ground through 4.7K resistor (down)
But the ipod remote (no mic) has an onboard microcontroller that receives DC power on the mic line as well and is used as a sort of authentication device allowing the Ipod Shuffle to uniquely identify the remote through a challegage response tone scheme. I'm not sure if this is included in the iphone remote cause the circuitry would probably interfere with the mic signal.
Headphones with only one button always short mic/4th conductor to ground so that will always work, but I bet WP7 and Iphone/ipad specs for the resistors for the up/down buttons are different.
I hope WP7 remotes don't have the microcontroller.
I may disassemble my OEM Samsung headphones and try to figure this out. It would be nice to get some Shure or Sennhesier hi-end headphones and plug them into a little adapter that provided to correct buttons. All the hi-end earbuds are iphone/ipad-only.
Presumably I could just cut off the ear-buds on the samsung headphones and solder some of the Shure connectors on there - then just plug in the Shure ear-buds. (all high-end Shure earbuds have replaceable cords
Hello,
I saw this annoucement today > Sprint Exclusive Harman Kardon Phone with special earbuds
This got me to thinking, a lot of the Harman Kardon earbuds have volume control and answer/pause/hangup buttons. In theory, the hardware on this edition is identical to the other HTC M8s in the world. This is technically just a software optimization and a packaging of name brand earbuds. So I wanted to start a thread for Earbuds/Headphones that people are using that have working volume controls on the M8.
I am using some Note 3 (Samsung) earbuds with volume and call button. The volume bottons (Up - Skip forward a track, Down - Skip Back a Track) and the Call button (pause/play music) work, but not as expected. I know it may be a combination of software and hardware, but figured there has to be some thing that can work on this phone. It seems silly to have a phone with superior sound quality on the auxiliary output as well as the front facing speakers, with limited options for earbuds/headphones.

From what I have seen in my quick study into both the M8 & M8HK firmware & rom, it looks to be 100% software. You can actually find all the references to the HK software & enable it in settings by modifying the existing xml in the ACC folder. It won't do anything YET, just enable the options in settings, but once someone has a chance to do some digging & testiing, I am certain it will be an easy thing to implement. There are also already a few headphones that will work with HTC devices that can control volume. There is a thread just like this with lists in some of the older device threads, like the One X, One + & One M7.
obviously the stockers that come with the m8 work. also i have used a set of jaybird bluebuds but they are full bluetooth however everything works as it should.
since trying the stockers out last night, i have to say they sound better plugged in compared to wireless (obviously due to better connection and amplifiers etc). this got me thinking what others are available. i have been looking at the bowers and wilkins c5 earbuds. not the cheapest not the most expensive available but they are advertised as apple compatible. apparantly when used with android only the volume controls dont work. has anyone tried these out on a android.
I purchased the OEM headphones from HTC's site:
http://www.htc.com/us/accessories/htc-stereo-headphones/
And even these don't control the phone properly. Which sucks because the website says fully compatible with the M8.
have anyone used the bowers and wilkins c5 earbuds with an android specifically the m8. would love to get these but a bit expensive if they dont work as they are advertised as compatible with ios devices.

That's one ugly HTC One M8! Looks like a huge iPhone 3g! I'm very happy with boomsound and the stock equalizers, music has never sounded better in my car streaming via BT. I've always used the latest Jaybird BT headphones. Once you go BT headphones it's hard to go back to wire/cord.
Volume control and play/pause should work with pretty much all headphones. Previous/next track and scrolling - not. This is because Apple has some very weird patents for music controls via cable. So nothing is gonna change in this matter anytime soon.
Not really true. Just about every earphones I've used that have 3 buttons don't control volume on Android, but they do on iOS. If they work on Android the pin out must be different.

That's exactly my issue. Stock ear buds that come with phone only have answer pause button. And any I've tried with volume only skip track. Sucks about HTC OEM stereo ones because I almost bought those. The search continues for volume control ear buds. I know wireless prob fixes problem, but I'm old school and like wired. Also, don't want to have one extra thing to charge. Still resisting Bluetooth as long as I can because most last 8 or so and I would have to charge daily. I use earbuds all day.

I've been using Sony XBA-2VPs on my GS4 (with volume wheel instead of buttons) without button mapping apps. Went to use them on the M8 and still works like a charm.
I believe a-JAYS Five would also still work on the M8 and that has volume buttons.

I've owned the c5's for about 2 years now and they work flawlessly. Control every thing without issue. And sound better than any other earbuds available imo.

Maybe it is the ROM you are using or a mod you are running because I have those exact headphones and they worked perfectly for my M7 and now for my M8. Play/Pause button, Volume Up/Down, 2X for Forward and 3X for Reverse, it all works. What isn't working properly for you?

Quick question: is the wheel a.. Potentiometer? If so, this has nothing to do with the phone itself.
About the apple dilemma: apple has a different wiring. Most of the headphone producers build for the majority, which they think are apple users. They have to decide. If it works on Android, the Apple people are mad. If it works for Apple devices, the Android people are: silent.
It's our fault.
Also, many OEMs that build Android devices do their own thing, which does not help, either.
It'd be nice to see some unity. But that's not going to happen soon, if at all.

Weird. I'm running Skyfall with barely any mods on top of it.
The headphones are working as follows:
Volume + = Next track track
Volume - = Previous track
Middle button = Play/pause
Are you running a customer ROM?

I'm running InsertCoin right now but they worked on the stock ROM also. That was one of the first things I tested when I got the phone. I work overnight and ride around listening to music all night. Having working 3 button headphones are very important to me.
Just chiming in... I just received the HTC RC E190 set from Amazon. On my M8, completely stock, AT&T ROM, with both the stock Music app as well as Play Music, the volume + button will skip back one track, and the volume - button skips forward one track.
I got the original htc earbuds and for me they just work great. first i use them with an htc one x+ but hey just stop working sometimes. but now with the htc one m8 they work all the time. there is just one thing i dont like, is that i cant use the voice control when the screen is locked. i think it would be great if htc gave us the option to activate this,.
the sound of this earbuds are just great for me, the bass responde is very nice, but now i want to try something like the Dual Driver 3-button Black (Android) from degauss labs, they cost like 100 dollars, or the Sabotage Royale 3-button Black (Android) that costs 60 dollars
i hope this can help you

Yes, you can activate dual sound output and use two different Bluetooth speakers at the same time, but unfortunately there is a slight delay between them which create a weird effect. It is true that I have tried this with two different type of speakers (a Philips AS 141 and a Samsung Level Box slim), maybe with two identical Bluetooth devices it would work better.
There is a mod (and a thread for the mod) which will allow the use of both speakers as stereo - however you can't increase the volume much (if at all) over the default because the earpiece speaker is not designed to be used that loudly - you will get distortion and crackles, and potentially damage the speaker.
You can ask in the relevant thread if the dev can sort out a louder version for you, but personally I'd stick to the prescribed limits, as it will affect sound quality quite (very, depending on how much of an audiophile you are) badly.
You'll have to be rooted for the mod to work as well, so bear that in mind.
