Has anybody been able to get the apple mic headphones to work?

My iPhone certified headphones work great. They aren't the original iPhone ones though, they're Nuforce (Highly recommend, and so does Head-fi.org)

I have a apple earphone that comes with the ipod when you buy it.
It works fine on my captivate!

im guessing he means the ones with controls. I think they only work on ipod but i have no clue. I dont own a pair to test it out.

I have the one with controls... Ipod earphones come with controls.. At least the 3 gen itouch did..
They work fine.

PlayerPro has extra controls support I believe.

My volume up/down don't work? Do yours

Klipsch S4i Earphones?

Has anyone tried the Klipsch S4i with the HD2? I was just wondering if the controls work with the HTC music player as well? I saw from other threads that Iphooey 3Gs headphones seem to work (mostly)... This would be great
Wondering the same thing about the Bose On-Ear mobile kit, if anyone knows?
Nobody has these?
Yes i have these head phones! The sound is fantastic!
Although i am not sure if you are refering to the ones with the in-built remote. I have the ones without so i don't know if that helps. Well worth the money.
Yeah... I was wondering if the remote works... I intend to buy these I would be happier to get the version with the remote though if it works...
I've got the Etymotic Hf2 (no volume control but I prefer the sound) and the button works fine for start, stop and call answering. Although I think they may be designed to work with most phones though.
I went a little nuts and decided that I wanted full cans instead... Bought myself a pair of Monster's Beats by Dr Dre cans.... OMG... the BASS and clarity.... Did I mention the bass????
WOOHOO! Worth every bit of the $350 I spent (paid a premium cause I was in Dubai)

Any news in this matter?
Do the S4i work with HD2??
i have the same question as well. klipsch s5i is also announced. i hope they work.
any news? i want to know if klipsch s4i controls work
From the constructor website
The remote and mic are supported only by iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod nano (4th and 5th generation), iPod Classic (120GB), and iPod touch (2nd generation), iPod Touch 4g, MacBook, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro (2009 models), and the iPad. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation). Requires latest iPod software. Audio is supported by all iPod models. Mic and call/music button control features functional with 1st generation iPhones and iPhone 3G. Volume Controls are not compatible with 1st generation and 3G iPhone. Also compatible with VOIP, Skype, iChat, and audio recording applications.
So what about the klipsch S4i....?
is it working on HD2 or not...
And also i m wondering its sound quality compared to sennheiser and creative ie8 or ep 630 etc...
is there anyone who tried klipsch headsets with hd2? especially klipsch s5i. i need a rugged headset with music control buttons working. a few stock hd2 headsets dies on me and thinking about investing a little to get something that is of good quality and rugged enough to last.

i have the klipsch s4i with the mic/remote control and just to inform you guys, the volume control does not work. the only button that does its job is the play/pause button. other than that, the sound's is great. i use it on my vibrant with the dragon kernel + voodoo sound and it's awesome!!! i have the phone setup on automatic answer after 3 sec so no problem there... btw i'm running on bionix v.

How's the bass on the s4i? Heavy?

I've just got the S4I and i've got a Galaxy S 16GB..
the headphones work, but you'll continue have to press the middle button to hear it fully, so you'll have to tape that, the sound is great btw
cheers
Monster and Bose = Overpriced, underperforming (tried both at Fry's). FYI, most of the stuff either of these companies make is over-priced garbage.
The Klipsch earbuds have separate tweeters and woofers and an actual miniature cross-over network. They're literally like speakers in your ears. Big difference from the offerings from Bose and Monster.
I've got these and are very happy with them:

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:

Wired headset

While I have a Bluetooth headset for car use, I've found myself using the included wired headset for music use and incoming calls while listening to music.
I'd like to upgrade them to something higher quality but everything I see listed is for the iphone. Will the buttons to control music and calls on these devices work on the Streak? Is it possible that someone could write an Android software interface if not?
Any recommendations? I like the look and reviews of the Scosche IDR655m and the price is right but a waste if the button and mic may not work for calls. I've heard the Bose may be ok, but I'm a Bose sceptic - good products but way overpriced.

just ordered some off these will let you know how well they work or evan try lookin at the senhiser mm50ip can get them for about 25 quid if you shop round but supposed to be a bit base heavy so i opted for the hf2,s will post up findings when they come

hope that helps
got the hf2,s and they work rather well, button answers calls stops starts and skips music.the mic is apperently v good acording to peps i have called as is the sound i hear.they take a little experimention to get to fit right but youll know when you get it right
BEST SOUNDING HEADSET ive heared
works with my hd2 as well so well chuffed
A work colleague bought the Scosche for his Iphone so I tested with the Streak. The volume buttons don't work, middle button will pause music play and answer phone but the mic didn't work for phone calls.
Any more recommendations?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
the jack plug is wired the same as the ipoo(iphone) so why his mic didnt work i dont know but i do know nokia use a diff jack config that defo dont work with streak
The hf2 do get some good reviews but are they really worth the price? Is there nothing in the $50 or so price bracket? I'm tempted to get some ' for Iphone' buds and try them on the offchance that the problem with the Scosche set is limited to that make. I still don't know why the mic didn't work if the 4 contact connection is supposed to be a standard.

I also tested out the iphone/ipod headset (the "newer" ones with the +/- buttons) and found that the mic did not work. I think it has to do with the "apple chip" in the apple headsets that enable the three buttons to work, but not totally sure. I'd bet their older headsets with a single button would work fine
On a related not, has anyone found the streak's audio jack to have a lot of static on it? I can actually hear when the phone enables the audio jack -- there's a slight "click" sound and then some hiss before my music starts (i.e., during the initial quiet part of a song)

razzi they are so worth 60 quid, i was dragged up by a dad that loved his hifi that much i wasnt alowed a sterio in the house,for eg 750 for a cartrage so i know when he said they were good there good lol
the button on the hf2 dont allways work as you want but dose work with some player apps but the call quality its self is v good
as for the jack plug being a standared we can only wish i know for a fact that nockia headsets DO NOT WORK with the streak
oh and as for being light on base no way you just have to put them in right (watch vid on web site a must)

if you want to try them gotta be better than ipoo ones lol
btooth headset help
hope this helps re headset,
i have been using the jabra 3030 bluetooth stereo headset for a couple of years now, 1st on a sony crapy x1, and now with my brill o2 uk 2.1 dell streak,
its been pretty much perfect on both phones with call control, music control etc etc,
i am a uk truck driver and cannot afford to get cought without hands free and the jabra has given me great service, if i want to call someone then it is just a case of a 2 second pres on stop/start button to call up phone voice commands, shame 2.1 voice command isnt as good as 1.6 but lets hope froyo sorts that out.
music quality is great with descent 3.5 mil headphones and will play music or voice calls all day if needed, i also bought some short length in ear sennheiser cans, perfick.
cheers.
Another vote here for Etymotic hf2... simply outstanding.

Suggest me a good headset

Please suggest me a good headset (wired) with microphone for my Google Nexus S.
Klipsch Image S4i
I have the original S4's (same thing just w/o the mic) and they sound great. Considering picking up the S4i's.
Do any other cheaper options exist?
im waiting for the a-jays one+
comes with android app for advanced features like track skipping and so on
http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html
My vote goes to Zagg SmartBudds. Really nice sound, good bass, especially with voodoo sound.
Not too expensive either.
I like a pair of noisehush nx-50 that I bought for like $10 that still work except the connection side is getting flakey . I thought that upgrading to the nx-80 would be a good plan, and it's not too great sound wise. On the nx-50 the earpiece is both kinds of earbuds combined. I have dropped my phone a few times with that headset which is likely why the connection is messed up. If you want a cheap headset with good sound and can deal with the earpieces, they're worth checking out. When i say both combined, i mean ipod style with the more in ear piece coming out of it. And I never had a complaint about mic volume. And definitely it drowns out other sound.

There is a brand called Meelec that seems to do some of the best cheap headsets, and most of them have mic.

I also own Klipsch Image One (amazing!) and Klipsch Image S4i.
I've been using the ear buds that came with my Nexus S, I like them but I wish I could control music playback properly with the one button that's on the wire, it seems it can only pause and play, I can't control volume or skip tracks and that's kind of annoying specially when I'm running.

I did, but doesn't seem to work. I'm using an ICS ROM on my Nexus S, that might be the problem, but I don't remember the double pressing working when I was using GB...
Yesterday I tried some apps from the market to assign commands to the presses, with that I can sometimes get it to skip the tracks but not always, it seems it has a hard time distinguishing between a single press and a double press.
My vote is for ZAGGsmartbuds. Not incredibly expensive, and they sound awesome. The "hangin tight" thing is cool too
I use the iBeats by Dr.Dre that comes with Sensation XE and sound is mmmm
I don't really like the in-ear headphones, what would you suggest for me? Not to expensive...
Philips SHH3580

What headphones are you using?

I'm just curious what headphones you guys are using for your XT720. Are you using the one's that came in-box or are you using something else? (and if so, what?)
I'm using stock. With me, stock is enough.
My friend can't use my Moto headphone on his Sony X8, so i think we can't use Sony headphone too.

15€ totally worth it!
Usually I listen to internet radio which streams at 128-192kbps so more expensive headset will be total waste of money!
the stock one
and nofear embedded in a jacket (hence and the playalka )
The stock headphones work very well compared to I had on my Motorola ZN5
