Atomic Floyd headphones

Anyone know if these Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum AcousticSteel Earphones work with HD2? Website says compatible with iphone, ipod and Blackberry. Emailed them but no reply, been over a month now. Normally with service like this I would give my custom elsewhere, but alas, I have fallen in love with it.
Thank for any feed back

yes they work but they're not that good.

Not good as in the sound or the controls?

Went into Apple store to see if I can demo it, need to check if the call button and music controls work. But due to health and safety issues (ear buds) cant demo, or return after purchase unless faulty. This is link http://www.atomicfloyd.com/hidefdrum . Hope more HTC owners email them so they will add support for our phones.

Just brought them. Great sound quality, bass more tight, vocals clearer, dont have to turn volume so high as before to get same level of sound. Call quality is good, did not try in a noisy situation yet. Answer call, play track, pause, works, but skip track forward and back do not. Looked at the jack, it is a couple mm longer than supplied htc headset so it sticks out. Which makes the 4th band on the jack not connecting, that could be skip tracks control.

Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5vi compatible with HD2?

I was searching for a headset covering the needs for good sound, in ear technique (and I mean REAL in ear unlike the stuff that comes with the HD2) and the possibility to use some kind of remote control.
I found the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5vi, but am unsure to which amount they are working with my HD2...
Anyone got them?
If so: To which amount are they compatible?

IMHO, any 35mm headset + any phone with 35mm jack = any guy + any girl
Explanation:
the parts should fit together to produce something else.
How compatible the 2 are, totally depends on you: there ARE many people who can't hear the difference between a $10 headset vs a $300 headset...
Perhaps you can share what you mean by not be compatible?

Thx for the answer, but I didn't mean if I'll hear anything at all! ^^
(both have 4 conductors, so at least they should produce sound)
I wanted to know if the remote control will work for at least answering calls and hanging up without producing anything glitchy like powering the whole thing down or calling someone else.
As far as I've heard AUX and GND Conductors are changed in the Iphone plugs, so I don't know if anything strange will happen when using a headset made for the stupid Iphone with another smartphone.

yes it will be compatible.
altho i only got the metro fi 200vi. pretty damn sure the others will work.
great mic with button functions and superb audio quality. probably the best i've heard in many yrs.
one press to ans/end calls, or one press to play/pause music. double quick presses strange tho, dials last dialled number. but overall pretty damn nice IEMs for only S$95

Thx a lot!
I guess they didn't change the remote control from one vi model to another... at least I hope so!
The Double press thing is a pity, but not fatal... It's just a different function. ^^

since a few days I have the Bose Headset. The only remote is a button to pickup calls but the sound is really fantastic.

which model number of Bose Headset?

I've got the Super.fi 5vi, they work to answer calls, hang up and will even call the last called number. I've never tried to control manila's audio player with them, so not sure if that works.

Apple Headphone Button Functionality

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.

What headphones w/ mic that work with the Streak

I'm looking for a set of nicer headphones that would work with the dell streak if anyone know's of any. The stock headphones have poor sound quality and can even have a crackling disturbance, however the mic is perfect. I tried the v-moda remix remote, however the mic does not work. The play button works fine but the volume buttons do not work either (as to be expected). I would like a pair that has first and foremost a superb sound quality with a working mic and if possible a control button that allows to play / pause / answer incoming calls / end calls. Volume control is not of an importance in the least. Are there any suggestions for any that you guys know that works? I will have to return the v-moda and try a different one. I'm looking into the Klipsch Image S4i, but I'm not sure if it will work either. Any information will be much appreciated.

With 71 views since I first posted this it seems people are interested in the possible options as well. So I thought I would give you guys the results after trial and error over many headphones I've tried. I've also discovered that any three button controls inhibit the mic from working. All of these were tested using only the U.S. version of the Dell Streak stock 1.6 rom.
Dell Streak Stock Headphones
Sound Quality - Horrible; It sounded like I was listening to a $3.00 pair from walmart. There seemed to be a constant crackling noise when talking to people or moving.
Mic - The mic is impressive for it being free. However it does seem to pick up a lot of background noise (ex. wrappers, tv, sirens etc.)
Price - Comes with Streak so free.
Comfort - Alright, but seemed to fall out quite often making it more of an annoyance.
Button control - one button that makes a loud clicking sound and can be heard (also just kind of annoying)
Appearance - Look like the aforementioned walmart pair
Klipsch Image S4i
Sound Quality - Good, not great but to be better than any Skull Candies you can buy. This also had a lot of clicking sound while using these in a phone call using the phone's mic (not the ones on the headphones)
Mic - Did not work on the dell streak
Price - $99
Comfort - Seemed a little heavy but alright
Button control - three button in which the play button will activate the playing of music (in or out of app), answer a call, mute a call, end a call, skip track, go to previous track, and pause track
Appearance - Good
Shure SE210
Sound Quality - Good treble but horrible bass. Great with sound isolation, hard to hear anything around you.
Mic - N/A
Price - $139
Comfort - 1) The cord seems to be too long and can get in the way. 2) The foam ear pieces were really annoying seeing that you had to decompress them to go into your ear. 3) The 3.5mm jack sticks straight out and for the Streak in your pocket this can be a pretty big issue for me
Button control - N/A
Appearance - These look like something you would see off of Startrek (the old kind) They stick out of your ear pretty far.
V-MODA Remix Remote
Sound Quality - Good, but very disappointing compared to their previous V-MODA Vibes which had sound of perfection of it's price range three years ago. This also had a lot of clicking sound while using these in a phone call using the phone's mic (not the ones on the headphones)
Mic - Did not work on the dell streak
Price - $99
Comfort - Alright but if you are laying down they will hurt
Button control - three button. The control buttons seemed like it would be very easy to break. Play button will activate the playing of music (in or out of app), answer a call, mute a call, end a call, skip track, go to previous track, and pause track
Appearance - Great appearance, hand crafted metal, sleek design, barely noticeable.
V-MODA faze
Sound Quality - Horrible for the price. They literally sounded no better than the stock dell streak headphones except for the fact that they would crackle every time I spoke made a sound or moved. Not a faint crackle either.
Mic - alright but people said I seemed distant
Price - $49
Comfort - Alright but if you are laying down they will hurt
Button control - One button with a loud click and hard to get to. Made of cheap plastic. Play button will activate the playing of music (in or out of app), answer a call, mute a call, end a call, skip track, go to previous track, and pause track
Appearance - Good appearance, hand crafted metal, sleek design except for the button control. The button control looks like it was made from lego plastic or something.
After a long bit of 2 days trying out headphones buying/returning and spending hours of researching online I had lost all hope. I heard that Bose had released some new headphones but Bose didn't have the best rep with their headphones (great rep for headsets and surround sound / normal for headphones and car systems) My friend talked me into trying them because he knew someone who loved them. So I went to the store and was blown away and immediately bought them.
Bose MIE2
Sound Quality - Seriously the best headphones I've ever listened to. However with the music you are listening to, make sure it's around 256kbps (can be less just higher than 128kbps) or these headphones will pick up things not normally heard with lower quality tracks. There is 0 crackling. Superb bass and treble with a strong sound and unbelievable range. Only complaint is that the sound leaks out a little bit so if you are listening to loud music people around you will probably hear it. This is probably due to the ability to hear around you if you are not playing music (aka talking on the phone with these). I can still hear people walking or anything as if I didn't have any headphones in if I'm talking, however music playing cuts this down dramatically. Keep in mind these are not noise isolating nor noise canceling. This can be a benefit if you are using it for talking as much as listening to music.
Mic - Friends say they can hear me crystal clear, up close and loud. Seems to block most background sound.
Price - $129
Comfort - With them in you can lay on your ear without feeling them in. With the new design of the tips they are not forced into your ear canal but are sitting in it with support from the area surrounding your ear canal. One can run with them in and not have a problem or worry about them falling out and can barely tell that you are even wearing headphones.
Button control - one button on the right ear cord. Hard to get used to because it's up high but is a great place for the better sounding mic and the button is really easy to press because it covers the entire strip of the mic. Play button will activate the playing of music (in or out of app), answer a call, mute a call, end a call, skip track, go to previous track, and pause track
Appearance - Good appearance, outside looks like metal but is actually plastic. The cord is half white and half black (don't understand why they did this but oh well). You would think that the outer ear support previously mentioned would look tacky, but you can't even really see it. Plus if it does annoy you it comes with the normal inner ear only attachments.
I am very happy I found these in which truly restored my faith in Bose headphones. I suggest that anyone who's looking for a good pair to at least go to the store and try them, they will not disappoint. If any of you decide to look into buying these make sure you don't mix the MIE2 with the IE2 (which is just the headphones no mic) nor with the MIE2i (which is the same thing as the MIE2 but it has the three buttons there for making it not work with the Dell Streak and practically only with Apple products I believe).
I hope this will help some of you because music quality is a big thing to me, as is the ease of talking to people (the dell streak is hard to hold on to while talking and driving). Let me know if you guys have tried any others and your opinions of them using the Streak. Thanks!

I find that the streak is pretty awful for listening to music due to constant background hissing/static. I'm guessing the audio DAC is crappola. Do you also have static issues?
It's mostly noticeable in quiet environments when I play the music softly so that I can still hear what's going on around me. You can also hear the static start and stop when you start and stop music, including a "click" which I guess corresponds to the audio DAC being turned on.
Do any of these headphones make the static somewhat more bearable? The static volume seems to be constant regardless of the audio volume, so maybe headphones with a lower sensitivity would improve things?

the apple headphones also work. both the cheap one that comes with the iphones and the $79 in-ear one at the apple store. the in-ear is much better and is one of the few headphones that deserve that price. the volume buttons dont work unfortunately but the middle button does. basically, any mic'd headphones that work with iphones will work because its the same standard.

Yes, the bose MIE2 do not have any static from my experience with them. There is no static talking, nor listening to music loud or softly. I'm very happy with these.

This is not exactly the case. As you can seen in my review (the 2nd post) that the v-moda remix control that were made for iPhone and the mic does not work. I bought these from the apple store and the sound works well but the mic does not work. Can you confirm that the mic on the iPhone in ear headphones with 3 button control does work with the Dell Streak? Because I haven't been able to find headphones with 3 buttons to work with the Dell Streak in referring to mic capabilities. As previously mentioned I'm very happy with the bose MIE2 one button headphones.
Also I'm curious to see if there is any static with the iPhone headphones?

I can confirm that for the 3 button iPhone/iPod headset, the mic does not work with the Streak. I think it has something to do an "apple chip" that these and other compatible headsets use. Also, the iPhone/iPod headset has the same level of static as the headset that came with the Dell streak.

GREAT review, and much appreciated. I've been holding off on buying any headsets because I didn't even know where to start. Been a long time fan of Shure (though not their price), but that Bose headset sounds just about perfect for me and right in the price range I was looking for...

v-moda vibe II
I have just received my V-moda vibe II headphones and they seem to be working very well. I have used v-moda headphones for while now and this pair does not disappoint. It's a bit heavy on the low end of the spectrum but I personally like that. All of the buttons work with streak in the same manner as the original headset that came with the streak. They have cords wrapped in kevlar so it should be tangle free. Overall I would highly recommend them for use with streak.

I'm using sony ericsson MW_600 bluetooth media earphones, mic is spot on, display will be ideal when bluetooth profiles are compatible, built in fm radio is cool, sound quality is impressive (3.5mm jack so you can use your own too), easy to use & supports upto 5 devices at once, built in battery lasts ages (micro usb charge) & its really compact & small... the hands free call button is well designed too. Buttons incl. FFW, RW, PLAY/PAUSE, POWER/PAIR, CALL/REDIAL, small lcd display & the volume is a sensor sliding style strip. I paid £40 del but amazon now sell them for £30 (if they drop any cheaper, I'm buying a second pair just incase, they're that good!)

disabling touch screen when using remote
Hi all,
I'm using meridian as its good for driving. problem is i've noticed (I dunno if its the same for other players) but when my headset is connected and i press the remote button (ie to play or pause), the touch screen is activated and as its in my pocket the phone thinks i'm pressing all kinds of stuff! Is there any way of disabling the homescreen from activating when i press the remote button. You'd think somethink as simple as this would have a work around in the settings or something but I can't find it. I've tried looking through tasker but they don't have an event for 'remote button pressed'.
any ideas would be great

I use mixzing & they have a lockscreen option too, you can disable the screen popping up evrytime a new track starts, maybe yours is the same? I would definitely recommended mixzing if you can't fix it & want to try a different player

for DAC issue, i don't think so, see gsmarena's review here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/dell_streak-review-531p5.php
direct headphone sounds ok with my AKG 26P, even with my Senn HD-555
bluetooth A2DP/AVRCP works very well with my SE HBH-DS980
headset w/mic i would like to see which one work well, because i tried the headset w/mic from my Omnia II (replacable headphone type) and it sound terribly hollow with much static and echo... even when i change the headphones...
all still in donut

I bought the Sony MW-600 based on the recommendation in this thread. Paired with a set of Etymotic ear buds and couldn't be happier. All the buttons work, quality is excellent.
Being able to select your own headset is the only way to go - I just couldn't find a mic enabled set I liked.

I just want to say thanks for the mention of the MW-600. It really is a rather impressive little piece of kit and I would not have known about it otherwise.

Thanks for this CLburns! quite pricey them bose though some holiday gift maybe if they're good like you said.

No problem. Some people at my university tried them out, then a week later 4/8 bought them. They are well worth the money i spent. If you do get them I would suggest listening to higher bit music such as 256kbps+. 128 just doesnt seem to give the "ahh" perspective that it would with lower quality headphones. Ive started redownloading my music library to accommodate the high performance, and these headphones make all the difference in the world.
I'm pleased to hear that my review was helpful for everyone!

Moto G 2014 Dual SIM - Bose soundtrue in-ear earphones not working

I've had my phone since January 2005 and I've been using the Bose in-ear earbuds since they came out.
My current ones are starting to show signs of wear (cable starting breaking down near one of the buds) and thus I was seeing on replacing them and keeping with Bose, since I really like the sound and the design of these earbuds. So I passed by the Bose shop and bought the Bose Soundtrue earbuds, designed for Samsung and Android phones, that come with a line in remote.
However, when I tested them out, the remote was not working. Pressing vol+ was restarting the song that was playing, and the same when the play/pause button was being pushed. The vol- did nothing. I tried using a third-party app to make it work (Headset Control Center from Degauss Lab) but to no avail, it did not. And to make it worse, the Bose Rep tried to call me on my phone and I could not even pick up the call with the button (middle one). In the end I returned my purchase.
So I'm bummed out. I have no clue what to do. I really like Bose and would like to stay with them. But if I really cannot get their earbuds to work... not sure if I will.
Anyone have any idea what I could do to make it work?
Or alternatively, are there similar earbuds (sound and design-wise) that would actually work with the Motorola G from 2014? I really abhor full in-ear earbuds for the closed out feeling I get when wearing them and the fact I'm less aware of my surroundings. I bike a lot in Brussels and I want to be able to hear what goes on around me (to do anything else is suicidal).
thanks in advance for your replies.

Bump. Is there really no-one around who can help?

Hey there,
I was using the same headphones from Bose since a year or so now on both Xperia Z and Z1C.
In mid August, the remote - which was working perfectly - stopped working.
I called the after sale services, thinking the something was wrong with the headphones...
They changed them to brand new ones that I received today. They don't work anymore.
Something happened between nov. 2014 and aug. 2015 ( my guess is lollipop - but I'm not even sure), and I can't use the earplugs the way thety were properly working before (play, pause, vol up / down - double click for skip...
This is a bummer.

I have a similar problem with Lollipop on my HTC One E8, with a single button wired headset: after the upgrade to Lollipop, the single-button control via my wired headset no longer works.
It never worked right without using the Degauss Headset Control Center, but before lollipop, using Degauss I could control it.
But since Lollipop, a single click results in multiple clicks - one, two, three, four even five clicks!
Even though I setup the Degauss app to map all those to play/pause, it sometimes it still skips to the next or previous track, and sometime it won't pause or resume.
I've been looking high and low for a solution, or others hitting the same problem(s).

I did not find a solution yet.
I gone and bought the Bose Sountrue anyways as I really like the sound and the way the earbuds fit in my ear. The mic works fine when I call and receive a call (I have to accept it from the phone as the buttons do not work). I do think it is a hardware problem of the Moto G so most likely will change to a compatible phone in the future.
