Etymotic Research HF2 Headset

I bought these about 2 years ago when I first acquired my iPhone and they worked like a charm. In March, when the T-MoUS HD2 came out, I was looking for a headset to replace the sorry excuse for a headset they include and i had remember that I still had these. I plugged them in and in tandem with the audio booster, I must say that they are THE best in-ear headset/headphones I have ever used. I've used the Bose Headset and even the Shure headsets and those are comparable but imho aren't has good as these are.
Here's a link to Etymotic's website to see for yourselves...

Hi, Can you tell whether remote control works with HD2 i mean backward, forward, pause and call handlings?

hey everyone, i can answer your questions.
double click = next track
triple click = previous track
single click = pause/play
when someone calls....
single click answers call and music pauses and you conversation begins. after call single click ends call and music resumes.
any more questions? hope i helped you all out!

Thanks for clarifying the functionality but can you actually confirm that these features you listed work also in HTC HD2?

iCrap headsets on Android

Hi Guys
I've been looking for a nice headphones with mic and control buttons for my Legend
Unfortunately companies make only ones for iPhone
Apple does not like us to use them
So they have put a chip which allows them to work only with idevices
When u connect them to legend mic do not work (but the phone recognize it as coneceted)
Only central button works (allows u to play and stop music only)
I've read that there is a patch for HTC magic
Which allows to use iPhone ones
I've been wondering is there a way to make them work on legend as well
If anyone have any info about how to do it please help

You have asked this in Q&A if you get no answer,Then there probably isn't one.
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT THERE ARE ENOUGH NOTICES SAYING NOT TO DO IT SO DONT!

You should have ask this in accessories.

Look up TRRS and how it works, 2 pins on the iphone jack are simply inversed. (Mic and ground) Get a DIY trrs jack cut and replace the original jack inverse 3 and 4 and it will work. There's no chip involved at all.

there is one app, i think by jays audio, let you control your one button headphone so that you can do a lot of things... e.g, skip track, pause, etc. check market out

List for Samsung htc sony (not sony erricson) and nokika lumia headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
Update as I found some more

You may also try to use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm TRRS adapter that reverses the microphone and ground pins; however, specific remote and mic compatibility is not garanteed.

[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.

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.

Apple Earphones not working properly on SGS1

Sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question, but as the title says, my Apple earphones aren't clear on my s1. Plz don't say just buy beats or other earphones because the Apple ones are the most comfortable to me. When I use the apple earphones the sound quality is a bit weird, while other earphones work fine. If there is anyway to fix this problem I will be glad to hear.
Thanks.

Try this thing, while playing music, press and hold answer button on your headset, sound should become clear.
This is a well known hardware problem, it's that apple and samsung manufacture headphones jacks using different connection layout. That way headset mics do not work properly by different manufacturer. Usually, when you buying headset, it defines "iphone, htc compatible" or "samsung, nokia compatible" (not sure about specific phone manufacturer). I also have one philips headset which came with simple 3.5 female to 3.5 male adapter, to work with both connection types.
Moreover SGS1 has tv-out through the same headphones jack, this way it's more messed up, and even the sound does not work properly.
I guess your only option would be buying some adapter, seen several on ebay, specifically designed for sgs1, but I could not tell whether they do what it says.

USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle Issue (& Recommendations?)

What's going on 8T friends? I was hoping you guys might have some input and/or recommendations for a *GOOD* headphone dongle...one that has been tested to work without issue, specifically with this phone - the OnePlus 8T.
I want to start by apologizing for the super long-winded post!!! I also want to preface this by saying there is a possibility my issue may not lie w/ my current adapter, but possibly w/ my car's (old) aftermarket head unit...though I think it's unlikely given its never had an issue w/ any other phone or dongle.
*EDIT: I suppose it's also possible that there's some firmware issue & perhaps an update might resolve it, but I'm at the mercy of T-Mobile US & their *SLOW* update schedule. International phones have had like 4 updates in a month, & we've only had the day one update (still no AOD!).
I know it should be something super simple and there's likely many, *MANY* similar threads in other devices' forums, along w/ OnePlus Community & Reddit as well. But *please*, just hear me out. I feel like a dumb**s for even having to post this. There's crazy inconsistency w/ what's supposed to be a f***ing universal standard...this s**t is far from working universally!
I've had experience with 3 separate models of adapter w/ my previous phone, the OnePlus *7 Pro* (on Android 10). With the 7 Pro, I found that the Essential Phone's dongle worked flawlessly in every scenario I need it for. It's less expensive than the official Oneplus branded one, & generally just of better quality, w/ a thicker braided cable. I also had the official a OnePlus dongle which also worked perfectly w/ my old 7 Pro, but I lost the damn thing...plus, it's just too expensive, & OnePlus doesn't even have it in stock?!?! I also used the Apple dongle - surprisingly cheaper than OnePlus' dongle, but the volume level was permanently way too low, w/ no way to resolve that (I tried for nearly a month). The Apple one has long since been returned.
I am currently still using the Essential dongle as it's the only one I haven't yet lost or returned, but I'm running into a strange issue on both my phone & my girl's 8T as well (both are T-Mobile branded 8Ts, the "8T+5G", which is the exact same hardware the rest of the world gets, just w/ different firmware). The Essential dongle is flawless w/ the 7 Pro, & also flawless when just plugging it in to regular headphones - but when hooking it up to an aux cable & plugging it into our car's old, aftermarket head unit to play music or videos, there is a completely random/intermittent issue where whatever app is playing audio will pause itself, & then more often than not it'll also start making this crazy, strange, squealing distortion sound...but no longer any actual audio. This occurs regardless of what app we're using to play music or videos (YouTube Music, regular YouTube, Spotify, etc.). It seems to be totally random, sometimes working fine for a bit, but then going completely haywire...and once it's starts happening, it just won't quit. Sometimes switching to another app will start it, sometimes an incoming text message will start it, & sometimes it'll do it all by itself. This happens w/ USB OTG enabled or disabled, & I've tested it w/ 3 separate aux cables.
I'm at a loss, & I just wanted to get someone else's input before buying like 5 random ones of Amazon or eBay. We're at the point where we're just listening to old CDs because we can't stream anything current, & we're too broke to replace a head unit just to find that's not even the issue. *THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MADDENING*.
I would just buy the OnePlus dongle again, but they can't be bothered to keep it in inventory...at least for customers in the US. Any thoughts at all on what the issue could be would be infinitely appreciated, asking w/ dongle recommendations as well of course.
*THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME RAMBLE!!!*

Thank you so much for your reply. I noticed you mentioned analog. Do you think the issue might be from the Essential one being active? That never occurred to me...I always assumed active ones would be better, instead of relying on the phone's DAC. You might be on to something there! Thanks again

I went to best buy and tested the Google and apple dongles. . The apple one sounded great but suffered from the low volume issue. The Google one sounded great and had no low volume issue. I kept that one. Returned the apple one.
It works flawlessly. Is $12. It also has a great Soundstage and volume. No problems here in anyway.
Also, just as a heads up, I use it with PowerAmp and it sounds great really. I have a lg v20 for when I want the best sound but this does the trick for when I'm just trying to not have a million peripherals.

It's just a heads-up
Apple headset with lightning plug with Anker USB-C to lightning combo also works well with Poweramp custom output setting
Sound is distorted with default settings, but when you use the following settings, you will love this combo
DVC enabled
OpenSL Hi res having USB DAC enabled
Press the gear and bypass EQ
I wondered why I didn't purchase Poweramp license?

I went and bought a Samsung USB-C headphone adapter after I lost two previous OnePlus adapters with my 6T. Well, it worked flawlessly until I ended up losing it as well. Bought mine from BestBuy.
