Headphone conspiracy

I believe there's a conspiracy how headphones break in a month or sooner. I think it's a market conspiracy that companies use so, the consumer doesn't stop with one headphone, but keeps buying more and more.
what you guys think?, am I high on something

Don't kick it 'till you try it.

I've had the same pair of Phillips Headphones since 2004... they cost £18... What are you all doing to your headphones to destroy them!?!?

I use the headphones that usualy came with the phones. Never broked one, butI do change phone a bit...
That said, I have the same Panasonic headphones for 20+ years, that I use when at home, for better quality.

I still have a working pair that came with the original game boy, plus a Moto s9 BT headset i had for about a year now, psp headphones I had since 07 i think, HTC headphones that came with my Dash (they even survived the washer & dryer), some great sounding sony headphones i bought from radioshack about 2 years ago, but the only ones that fell apart were some dj style Craig brand chepos from kmart.

wow, I'm cursed with headphones. I remember buying apple headphones for like 50 bucks (what a rip off), they didn't even last an year...

v-moda earplugs for the win!

battery

Sorry for being link-lazy, but http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/ have a good selection of HD2 equipment, and I have had good experience with them.
(However ignore the 'magic slip mat' which claims to hold your phone through stickiness. It works well with some phones but not with our beloved

I use this one, and its perfect in every way.

That URL is for an HTC Desire...

This one is even with sound. But I don't have it yet and there could be a problem with the US t-mobile HD2.

For those people who want to plug in headphones to listen to music on their phone. However, I saw this charger a number of months ago, and I remember people who purchased it were complaining that they weren't getting stereo sound from attached headphones, but Mono.
And, to boot, the ad states plainly "This cradle will not fit T-Mobile HD2 phone." This is most likely because the US and European versions of the HD2 are not exactly the same size. Luckily, there's a 30 day money back guarantee...

It's working great.

If you have a previous iPod dock, you can convert it using this cable.

Jabra Halo

Does anyone have the Jabra Halo? It looks like a decent headset. How is it with the Galaxy Tab? Do all the buttons and functions work? What about the sound quality and battery life on it? Im looking to get it soon, but im worried about the sound quality coz im used to loud, bassy, full sized headphones.
Sent from my undervolted Galaxy Tab on Overcome 1.4.7 ROM

I had one but returned it because it was very uncomfortable for me due to the lack of any hinges.
All the buttons and functions worked fine and the sound-quality was pretty good compared to other bluetooth headphones (i went through 6 or 7 different models). Battery-Life was also quite good, about what has to be expected when you have some room for the batteries. IIRC at least 4-5h.

Ok thanks. Anyway i bought a Nokia BH 503 instead. Decent sound quality and battery. Plays nice with the galaxy tab and Power Amp!

i have jabra stone
ive bought jabra stone voor 99 euro a few weeks ago and its really an amazing device.
- A2DP music (use it as a wireless headphone to listen music and also for videos)
- resistive touch 4 volume (no buttons but more like swyping over the headset)
- really comfortable
- long battery (you get a charing station more like a stone which you can carry with you and recharge the headset unite on the go which is really usefull.
- slik design. its whie like my SGT white. it looks nice and original. it looks next gen in my opinion.
- one thing i didnt really like was talking in outside while its windy. you hve to put your hand on in like fbi to make the other person hear you good.

Stick Um - Nanosuction

The Stick Um is made from a revolutionary material that sticks to any non-porous surface (tile, wood, paint or metal) using nanosuction, Yes nanosuction, millions of tiny little suckers sucking on to things, a bit like magic.

Someone test it out lol

These sell for like $0.01 on ebay (seriously)
Haven't tried them personally but I've been told that they supposedly work pretty well. I personally wouldn't stick my phone above my stove though.
Here's the idea

I've only tried the ones for car dashboards on ebay
they are really bad....

Never tried these, but I use something called PuGoo http://www.udsproducts.com I love it & it works well!

If we are thinking of sticking the Note II to the wall, wouldnt VESA mounts be a better solution
:silly:

Please share your findings, because the cheapest one i could find was:

Here it's less expensive than yours but much more than 0.01$ http://cgi.ebay.fr/Car-Anti-Slip-Pad-Mat-Camera-GPS-MP3-Phone-For-HTC-Nokia-Samsung-LG-iPhone-4-4S-/110931201286?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d403cd06

I bought one from this seller (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Car-Gri...047?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c1c8637f) for $0.09 but they only ship to the US
The buy it now listings on ebay go for more than a dollar but the auction ones sell for very low ie. $0.09

I've been using this for more then a year in my car. Every month or so, i'll take it out and wash it with soup as it does attract dust and dirt. Works like it should. Got it for around US$1 only.

Sorry, not gonna let me phone touch anything called PuGoo...

I own this one, Grippy, and its pretty awesome. I can actually stick my phone to the wall and leave it. I actually have it on the lid of my laptop holding stuff there. Nothing ever moves from it unless I want it to.

okay, got mine from ebay in the mail today... for $0.09... not bad
my phone stuck to a door

[Q] Do the "stock GS4A earbuds control volume/playback?

I just got a GS4A in somewhat terribad physical condition but it works 100% and it didn't come with any of the original accessories (box, adapter, microUSB cable, and of course the earbuds).
Can anyone that has purchased a GS4A brand new tell me if the stock Samsung earbuds have a volume control in the little remote pod in the cord, and if it can be used for controlling playback as well (Play/Pause, maybe 2 clicks for next song, 3 clicks for Previous, that sort of thing)?
Been searching for an answer but haven't found one yet, not sure precisely which earbuds are included with the GS4A so if anyone can take a picture of theirs or the remote pod (close up/macro image) I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.

The headset that came with my i9295 has controls, yes, and they work well. I think they can do double-tap for next song in the player I use (poweramp), but don't hold me to that because I got a much nicer set of headphones with my purchase from the store (SOL republic Tracks HD), so I haven't been using the included earbuds much at all.

Are you talking about the international version or the SGH-I537? I have the I537 and it didn't come with any earbuds...

My international one did, but honestly it wouldn't have been a big loss if it didn't. As most bundled earbuds they are good enough, but nothing to be all that happy about. The shape makes them hang a bit awkwardly in my particular ears, and they seem to get pulled out a lot easier than other earbuds I use. The only reason I use them at all is that they are a compatible headset that is more discrete for use when I'm out on town, rather than my over-ear Tracks HD that I use to listen to music and so when I'm at home.

Wow, AT&T being so cheap they can't toss in a pair of $3 earbuds, good lord.
Oh well, I found some on eBay that claim to be the "real deal" Samsung product, which upon getting them I will promptly disassemble and attach my current Koss earbuds where were previously transplanted onto an iPod/iPhone earbud cable.
Thanks for the info...

Good choice, Koss earbuds are way superior to these. Unfortunately I don't have the tools right now or I'd do the same myself, I have a pair of old Koss where the contact broke that are just waiting for such a project.
