Earphones/Headphones With Mic

Does anyone know of any earphones/headphones with a mic that work with the DROID Incredible (or android 2.1 phones in general)? I dont care really about the controls, just the mic.

I believe the Nexus One comes with headphones that do this, but not certain

I have the Holua Skull candy earphones that have a mic and they work really well. The button press will play/pause and answer and hangup calls. Nothing really special other than that.

I am using the set that came with my wife's blackberry (that I just replaced for her with an Incredible) and they work fine with both calls and audio playback. I am not sure that you need any special brand to get to work with your phone.

I just picked up a random $20 set of in-ears with a mic from microcenter, they're marketed for iphone, but worked out of the box.

I think I'm going to buy the Nixon Whip Mic headphones.

I have bought in ear type of headphones from the VZW store that have worked int he past. Too bad I broke them. I stepped up to a bluetooth headset.

I'm using the set from my iPhone until I decide if I will buy the Bose or something else.

has anyone tried the psp go headphones? they work really well on my tp2!

I tried to talk on the phone with a standard set of headphone (no mic) and it worked just fine--the phone uses its mic for calling if no mic is plugged in. YAY.

I'm using the iPhone headphones which work just fine

Im using the moto S-9 stereo bt headphones. Calls sound good and everyone says I come in clear too. A2DP is sweet too for trance/techno and podcasts

Etymotic HF2
I bought them for my Blackberry, I use them for my Droid, my Ipod, for everything.

I use the Motorola S9-HD bluetooth headset.
To me they work great, but the call button does not work correctly with the incredible.

All phones, at least the ones I've used works with the mic and the answer/call/pause/skip/prev/ button. I think that is just a common thing in every chipset of phones or something

South-Wing Bluetooth headset works...
I'm using the SA505 and the sound is terrific + it provides lots of control.

I'd be happy to recommend the MEElectronics AI-M9Ps that I brought for a mere $23.99. Great quality and sound for a decent price. One of the reviews here pretty much nails it:

Bluetooth + Armband Phone Case for Exercising Question

Anyone know of a good combination of bluetooth headset and armband phone case to use with the Cardiotrainer app on the HTC Incredible? The last bluetooth set I got moved around too much... my guess is I would need a bluetooth headset that was stereo and hooked together. Also with the armband... I just don't want it sliding around too much Any ideas?

I use the backbeat bluetooth headset. Work great for me, only issue is that there is no button to control the music. Still trying to find a good armband to work on the Incredible.

I have the motorola s9 that i used with my touchpro and really like them not sure on the armband yet

S9 are not sweat proof unfortunately, the buttons stop working, great set other wise.

I use a Jabra BT3030 with a pair of Sennheiser earbuds. It's nice and does the job without being a burden. You can find them for reasonable prices on ebay. Because the earbud cables are long the Jabra is usually runs under my shirt and into my pocket.
I had an iTech clip radio for the same purpose and it was the worst piece of tech garbage I've even owned.

So has anyone found a good armband yet for the Dinc? I figure someone must have found a decent one by now

Has anyone had an issue with the music skipping when walking or running? I've tried the Backbeat and S9 on two incredibles. Both have done this. Its fine when just laying around, but the smallest motion and it skips.

I second this. I used the same **Belkin Iphone/Ipod** armband on my old HTC Tilt. And I have no idea why you want to listen to music on a bluetooth headset. There is no way the degraded sound quality and increased battery consumption is worth it just to not have wires. Also , I don't have an issue with headphone cables getting in the way. And if you want to be able to answer the phone, dont worry about it. Plug in the headphones and make a call. try it. the microphone on the phone picks up your voice just fine.

Supposedly the issue is caused by the headset jack thinking control signals are being sent to it by your headset. This is why people have reported better performance with higher quality headphones that have gold contacts, less interference. A cheaper solution is to download the Headset Blocker widget from the marketplace which prevents the supposed signals from having any effect on your music app. Do note that if you have a controller on your headset the widget will block all of its controls too.

The armband case that you seek is this one!
I bought the TuneBelt from Amazon for like $20 before the holidays. It keeps my phone safe, sweat free, and you can even buy a little extender belt if you plan on running with heavier clothes on like a sweatshirt. Great buy!

RTFM ... hold the volume up or volume down to change tracks w/ the backbeat headset.
I have experienced the music skip issue as well so I'll have to give the headset blocker app a try.

I found the best wired headset

This topic was not opend to praise Apple for its products but to let you know that i've tried several products in order to replace the original HTC HD2 headset (wich is crap by the way) and Apple is the way to go.
I have tried to replace the earbuds on the original headset like shown in the tutotial in the wiki section, I have tried different headphones from Sony Ericsson, Phillips etc.
This morning I tried the Iphone 3G headset... the sound is unbelivable... and on top of that you have the mic and the play/pause/answer/hangup... and with headset button app you can do even forward/back/volume etc.
That's it! Just wanted to let you know

bull****, i have both htc and apple's headphones they both crap but the best headphone i have ever tried is the v moda2.......

the beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

ya may be ,but i thought we are talking about sound quality here.lol...anyway i like my v moda2 but i cant control music from that.do you know any best and cheap bluetooth connector so i can combine my headphones with it to work on hd2.

Sorry to break it to you but you haven't found the best wired headset.
If I ever need to buy a headset with remote control it will be the Etymotic HF2... I doubt you can get anything better sounding that has a remote control. http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.aspx
Brgds... /Tubgirl

they may be better but they are more than 6 times the price of an iphone 3G headset... and do you know if the remote works with the HD2?

yes these are good but check it out i am using these vibeii and the only problum i am facing(as i mentioned before)is the track backword/forward button is not compatilble with my hd2.however i can still use the mike and play/pause button and one more thing sound is incedible for that much value.that is why i am looking for some sort of bluetooth reciver extention so i can use controllers.

best is hd2's headset modded with in-ears
DN41

i modified it with earbuds from a pair of ipod shuffle headphones (that sounded great on the ipod) but the result is not that good on the HD2
anyway... from what i've seen Etymotic HF2 looks promising...

Best headphones are closed ones ( I prefer Sennheiser , I've got HD515 model)
In-ear : same , Sennheiser , (cx and mx series).

I don't really use a headset but just for listening to music daily, I use the Zune Premium headphones, you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon now and the sound is excellent.

They've no controls but sound quality of the Klipsch Image S4 are brilliant

I have has several set of shures, and now i am the using se210, on both my HD2 and my Zune hd 32gb, they are phenominal.Pricey but worth every cent

Well I think for music my westone UM3X or ATH-CK100 blow all of them out of the water - especially as I have custom sleeves for them......HOWEVER, they don't have a remote control, and are bloody expensive
So kudos to the op for finding a cheap earbud that sounds good enough for the HD2 (as tbh it is a pretty crappy music player if you use high end IEMs), with a FULLY working remote.

Sennheiser for theh win! I had bose inears 125 euros,they did sound like ****,now i have sennheisers cx300 version 2 for 35 euros and sounds much better. @home i use the sennheiser hd 515,also great ghehe. I put these 2 in a jabra bt 3030,best wireless remote ever

Stereo Bluetooth Headset

I recently rediscovered Pandora and I also found iHeartRadio. I found my favorite morning radio show on one of the stations. Sadly I haven't found my favorite local station that has the morning show. I work off and only catch part of it on Mondays while driving out of town. These with the Nexus S are awesome.
I'm clueless on Bluetooth headsets. I discarded the ear buds or disregarded them actually and used them for the first time this weekend after using a pair from the Galaxy S last week. Those hurt my ears but the NS ones I used last night were pretty comfortable and was even able to sleep on my side.
So on to the wants...
Price: 50 or less. Maybe more if you can provide a very good reason.
Sound Quality: I can't tell the difference between CD and MP3 so they don't have to be great, good will do.
Volume Control: I really want this on there. I'm going to need to hear people speaking to me while I'm listening to music, but I'm going to need to turn up the volume when I take a call.
Multiple Phones: I have the Nexus S as my personal phone but I'm a foreman at work and have a BB Curve that the company provides me. It would be pretty sweet if it would answer both phones. The BB rings more often. This would be the very good reason I mentioned above.
Charging: I'm not sure how this works on BT devices. Educate me.
Comfort: This is key for me. I'd hate to waste my money on something I'll put on a shelf and look at. Like I said the buds that came with the Nexus S are comfortable to me but I've never liked a pair that were like the ones in the Galaxy S.

I just did this same search. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything that supported A2DP for less than $80 (Canadian). I went with a BlueAnt T1, primarily because it has an Android app that does Text to Speech for SMS. Pretty happy with it, aside from the price.

I was in the same need as the OP but I've found the sollution in the Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset. The sound quality is excellent, loud and clear, it has built-in FM radio which works very well and it can be paired with 3 devices at once. It also has volume control, play/pause, fwd and rew buttons on it.
You can use you favorite set of headphones with this little gadget .. I highly recommend it.

Went with the Sony Ericsson. Thanks for the suggestions. Should be here by next weekend or later. Free shipping for the win!

Maybe these might be something your looking for. I personally have them they have good sound have volume control, track skipping and phone button to take calls. Quality is ok, not as nice as some other headsets but not bad for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S9-H...R0BW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318213100&sr=8-1

Looks like you made a decision already, but one I totally recommend is the Motorola S305. Its similar to the suggestion in the above post, but with better reviews. If anybody else is looking for some good Bluetooth headphones, check these out.

I've also used for about 2 years ,w/o any complain, the Nokia BH-503 - http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-BH-503-Stereo-Headset-Black/dp/B001DEWSWA
The only downside of those headsets is that you can not use them in a business enviroment or while driving so you will need a second BT device for those situations. That was the main reason I've sold the nokia one and bought the SE MW-600 ... it is meant for general usage (and for the FM radio ).

Jabra Clipper works with excellence.

Had good luck with Rocketfish headset. Supports a2dp and not in the ear canal. Those things drive me nuts. They stay on my head even on the treadmill.

Hi, I' looking for a wireless headset for gim use (running on the tapis roulant etc...)
Do you think this Sony Ericson can be used for this?

As long as you can clip it to some clothing it should work great. It is very very light so it should stick nice for any activity.
I'm using it also for mountain biking and it never fell off ... not even when I'm going downhill.

Bought it

Rocketfish all the way !

[Q] Compatible Music Heaphones?

I previously had a HTC Droid Incredible and it was wonderful because it came with headphones that I could use to control my music from the cord and answer calls with the built-in mic.
Are there any specific headphones that work as such for the Droid Bionic?
* Music controls (play/pause, next, previous)
* Answering phone calls
I am not sure if there is a universal standard that works with all phones through the headphone jack. I would prefer the connection through the headphone jack rather than the micro usb port, but I am craving the music controls, so I could care less really.

Klipsch image S4 Android.
There are about 3 diffrent versions to these. You want the android version.

Do you have any requests in terms of sound quality? I have a set of etymotic headphones and they're definitely a great option for sound quality. I don't have experience with a pair that has built in controls, but they do have a couple options. They aren't the cheapest, but they're definitely a good brand. The one thing you should be warned about with them is that they work best with the tips that require them to be inserted well into the ear canal. It creates a proper seal and contributes to the audio quality, but some people find that uncomfortable. I personally found it a little awkward feeling at first, but I quickly grew accustomed to it.
Here's their range of headphones + mic/controls:
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hscomp.html
They indicate which options should work with which devices... there are a couple that are marked as working android, so I would assume there is some standard that they know is used. I have no way of knowing for sure if it will work with all android devices though.
It would definitely be nice if they had some standard naming pattern for the proper signal or whatever is different between devices so there was a clearer understanding of which headphones to look at.

Thank you guys. Im not too worried about the sound quality. If I'm going to pay 100 bucks for a pair of headphones, I gotta imagine they have some good boom. I just needed something to keep me going without having to pull my phone out my pocket all the time.

Like I mentioned earlier. The Klipsch image S4.
Read reviews for it online.
The sound quality IMHO puts Beats to shame.
The price is a bar in. Deffinetly not expensive compared to other brands.
Plus the android version of those headphones allows you to control your music player.
Most wired headphones that allows you to skip track, pause, play etc. are not compatible with android unless it says so in the specs.
Get something that you know will work. Nobody I know who ever brought a klipsch has ever had second thoughts.

Other than buying new headphones, is there a way to get iphone headphones to work with the bionic? I already have a pair and would kinda like to avoid making more of an investment. Any type of app that would allow the buttons on the mic of the iphone headphones to work with my bionic to change songs and answer calls?

Good question. Maybe there is.
I haven't yet seen a music app that supports wired iphone headsets controls.
WP7 and blackberry do but if it does exist for android, i have yet to see it.

Hopefully one of our friendly neighborhood devs will be able to put something together.

have you thought about the rocketfish headphones from best buy? they work really good and sound good with or without poweramp and their only 60 bucks and their wireless. able to place voice commands, answer calls, change tracks, volume, pause/play, etc. i was skeptical about buying them but they get used daily.

The Jabra Clipper is awesome...
I've tried several different headphones and bluetooth earpieces ever since they came out. After a while of trying different ones I've come up with my favorites, especially after having an Android phone. I'm on my third Droid (OG, D2, now Bionic) and have been able to maintain these two ever since my first one.
The Jabra Clipper is great because I can listen to my music in stereo, wirelessly, and then answer any calls I may get without missing a beat. It automatically pauses the music when someone calls in. Also, I can control the volume and tracks with the clipper.
The Plantronics 975 is the newest version of my old, old one. I've had this earpiece longer than any other because it has its own case so I don't break it. The little case it comes with also has a battery in it so you can recharge it by putting it back in the case.
Just my two cents. Laters...

Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
I have the Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset $38 on Amazon (2/15/12).
You can find it here
It's lightweight, pairs easily with my Bionic and HTC Flyer, controls volume, next, previous, pause, volume up/down, accepts android voice commands, and answers calls.
It is great for the gym and the volume is more than adequate.
I highly recommend it.

klipsch is always good for earbuds, they always fit well and have great sound quality coming from an in ear setup. I currently use the Klipsch s4 to listen to music. Never knew there was a specific earbud for Android, will have to get those next time!

I just recently got me the LG Tone. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-HBS700-tone
I have really enjoyed it because of its convenience. You can just have one ear piece in if you want. Has magnet holding area for each ear piece. Comfortable Nice controls all on head set. Decent sound quality as well.
Little pricey but good battery life as well. Built in Mic blah blah blah.
I enjoy it quite a bit.
