thanks a lot for the info kdagia.

yep, its the Sennheiser MM50...
works great

Are there also wired remote controls with a mic. and a 3.5mm output for some earbuds?
Cause the ones from HTC are rubish, but I do have a set sennheisers (with a short cord), but no remote control or mic..

I found those on a french site, but I'm sure you can find similar products on Ebay.

just for calls it wil do, but unfortunately it hasn't got any music controls

Not once is the griffin one mentioned in that thread...

i currently use the Etymotic Research HF2 for my iPhone, anyone know if these are compatible with the HD2?

I can confirm, it works fine with the 3GS Earphones Mic, the switch button in the middle put the person on hold on a call.

NEED Suggestion In-Ear Headphone with MIC

Hi All,
Yesterday I lost my HTC HD2 default headphone and now i'm seeking for good not so expensive in-ear headphone with mic.
Price better to <50 or =<30
Thanks for your advance and suggestions.
P.S I don't like default HTC HD2's default headphone because they are painful when using for a while and not comfortable for running.

Have you considered iFrogz EarPollution plugz? They are not very loud but have decent sound.

WOW prices are high, headphone with mic models are starting from 40$ what product do you have from this brand?

did you look at somewhere like expansys? i'm pretty sure they do a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm female cable with a mic build in. Then you can buy any headphones you like.

No i haven't used one but i'd hope it works properly because it's a htc branded device certified for the leo and As far as i can tell it's the same as the one for the touch hd.

i got the superFi. 5 pros, they are not on the list anymore.. but were the second best universals >.<! just have them without the mic. i dont need that
i just love the quality of ultimate ears, its so awsome..
soon im ordering my customs UE 18 pro )))
im a stupid audiophile u know >.<

I m using a combination for this. Earphone form Creative EP630/830, an OLD XDA II volume controller & the normal 3.5 jack. It is much better as i can control the volume, can change the next song or FM channel by Red call dissconnect button, play/pause and receive call by green button. So its become very handy no need to pull out the phone. also EP630/830 delivers very good base at $8 only.

There are two types with and without mic. I've got one with mic. It cost 15 euros 7 months ago, but i think there was some kind of discount.

I know this link is a british shop but these are the headphones i have : http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...hone-3G-3GS/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0
They are great if you are on a budget and although they say they are for the iphone they work perfectly well on the hd2. The sound quality is great and the button on them functions to answer/hangup a call and also it functions as a play/pause button fo the htc music tab.

Sennheiser produce excellent quality stereo in ear handsets with inline control and Mic. They are in the upper price range though
But if you're stuck with little options as I was yesterday the Apple iPhone ones work if you don't mind putting up with sub par quality
The inline control doesn't work with my HD2

Could you tell us if all buttons (hang, paly pause next...) and volume control are working with HD2 ?
Is it for the Zaggsmartbuds ?
Thanks

If you're handy with a soldering iron you could mod your own.

I put cheap £12 Skullcandy on my HD2 headset and it works great! In-built mic works, play/pause & track skip works too.

ultimatears, then etymotic.

Headphones

Well my trusty stock headphones finally broke so am looking to replace them.
Don't want to spend more than 30-40 pounds either. Looking for in ear headphones with volume control, pause play and skip tracks.
Anyone know of anything?

I saw the news about those buds. Only downside is that they don't appear to have any in-line volume controls, which I believe the OP was looking for. Let us know how they sound, and if the call/end button works as advertised-- we know for sure that they'll sound awesome, too.
As for the OP's request, I've been using Zagg's Smartbuds. It uses a mechanical slider to control volume so it's not totally ideal, but I've yet to find a good pair of in-ear headphones with play/pause and volume controls.
Also, I had to install an app called Headset Button Controller to get everything to get the controls to work properly.
Long solution to what should be a simple fix, heh.

I don't understand why we don't have proper headphone with support for android :S
I don't believe it is unreasonable for headphones to have volume control and pause/skip tracks, especially when smartphones are meant to be, well, smart

Trust me, I could not possibly understand you more on this point.
And don't even get me started on native gapless MP3 playback...

PowerAMP has gapless and crossfading now, and it is epic, it's the only thing my iPOD did right and missed dearly.

i use bose MIE2 mobile phone headset, inline mic, play/pause/ff/rw single button. they cost 140 USD, but superb quality is absolutely worth it.
and android phones DO seem to work with the standard for mobile headsets.

[Q] in-hear headphones with volume AND track control

Hi,
I'd like to know if someone knows any earphones (intra-ear) with volume and track controls.
I've seen the a-jays four, but I don't know if they are compatible with android... (http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-four.html)
Thanks everyone for your help !

I don't think that any exist... those are only for the iPhone, as it has a special headphone jack to allow for input such as changing tracks.

the closest i've seen to headset support are on 3rd part apps like PowerAMP

Too bad there's not any accessories "android compliant" like there's like iphone's one... That's the only bad point I find to android ;-)
anyway, SonyErricsson has announced their "livesound" headphones, that seems to be what I need. There's not out yet, but I hope they'll be released soon.
Thanks for your help !

I am using UE 600 vi, the "track control" I have is just single click to pause, and double click to next.

I'm also searching for somthing like this

Searching for one too. I know headset buttons work since I already have a single button headset/mic. Preferably I'm looking for one without headphones (just a jack) so that I can continue to use my current headphones with it.

The Zagg Smartbuds?
Other android users say it works (one click stop/start pick up call, two clicks skip to next, three go back one track), although the volume isn't discrete (it just modifies the volume to the earphones, not the system volume).. I'm just trying to find out if it works with the european version of the Nexus S..

Well if they do work with the i9023 version that would totally make it for me ;-) the volume control, even if not changing the volume of the phone, would be quite ok ;-)
thanks for your help, and hope you'll get me a feedback about the european version... Thanks mate !

Still looking.. maybe someone who knows can say if the foreign models of the i9023 have the same sort of setup..
one ebay site says:
Some foreign smartphones, such as the Samsung i9000, have a unique jack configuration that requires an adapter for use with the ZAGGsmartbuds.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Yeah I've seen that also. Well, I've asked zagg about that, we'll see in a few days if they do know if it's working on i9023 or not... I'll keep you in touch !

The zaggs worked with my evo . All buttons worked. But like someone said only turns down headphones. Which was good enough for me.

Note 2-compatible earphones with controls

I just received my note 2 a couple of days ago. Loving it! - with a couple of small caveats:
1) Why must the stock email client suck so much? With such a great and big phone one of the main advantages for me would be to be able to email efficiently. But, first thing, you can't change the background color from black. Second, no search functionality. Third, the interface isn't beautiful. All of it: Just bad. (I come from iOS so I'm used to a very well-functioning email app). Some of the other email clients at google play seem marginally better, but none are perfect. Hope for updates and an imroved client from Samsung.
2) Then to my actual question in this thread. The earbuds/earphones that came with the phone sound great. But, they are in-ear. I know that most people prefer in-ear phones, but for me, not so much. It makes me feel shut off from the world, and if I'm listening to music on my bike for example I'm afraid I won't hear important sounds from the traffic, stuff like that. So I'd like to find some alternative earphones that are not in-ear. I tried the apple earphones from my old iPhone, and they work fine for listening to music and talking, but I can't control volume or move between songs and radio stations etc with them.
So I wonder: anybody know of earphones that work with the galaxy note 2 that are not in-ear, where the controls work and that have good sound?

headphone controls
For headphone controls, i am not sure because of the diversity of android phones that you ll find a compatible model which is a shame,
you can use this free software workaround solution : JAYS Headset Control in the playstore.

Regarding in-ear headphones and motorbiking: I did just that not too long ago and broke a time record unknowingly between two cities. It's cool what shutting off the outside world can do for your courage and concentration

Might be OT but both yes and no. You might take more risks but you also don't hesitate as much which makes it safer. Hesitating while driving/riding is really dangerous too! So its a double edged sword lol...
On topic, picking one of these bad boys up tomorrow. Hope the bundled earphones are decent enough to continue my stupidity on and off the road

Sony's Smart headset MH-1c has both volume controls as well as a call recieve button which works with Samsung Galaxy SIII and Note II.

While they are technically in ear, I would recommend using the LG Tone+ Bluetooth Headset - the model number is HBS-730. It has APT-X codec, which is for the most part indistinguishable from wired headphones, plus they have insane 12+ hour life. To get around being aware of sound around you like at work, I just wear one earbud in and the other one magnetically clips to the headset, which is super handy. I typically use them 10-14 hours a day and am a headset fanatic. They have volume control, play/pause, and track forward and back. Plus they have good sound quality for the money even though they are bluetooth.

Hi, I had the same problem and eventually have taken matters into my own hands by making my own using the 3 button remote bundled with the phone and some Klipsch S4i's I had left over from the iPhone days. The results were so good I have bought some more S4's to customise and have listed them on eBay for sale. Finally a solution to this problem. When are the manufacturers going to realise there are millions of Samsung devices out there and start making some decent earphones for us!!

Try Skull Candy.
I've got this one & it works fine!
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/fix-in-ear-black-chrome
i only use it for music.
Play button once to play/pause, double tap to next track & three to previous!
hope this helps!

using earphones
Another alternative is try out the app Around Sound from the play store. It monitors external noise from the microphone and pauses your music to play that sounds to you.

I posted this in another thread, but the best retail option might be the new Samsung headphones that start coming out with the S4 - the HS330. Supposed to be better than the S3/Note 2 headphones and obviously volume and pause/answer buttons work.
