[MOD] Original Nexus S Earphones - Nexus S Accessories

Never felt comfortable with in-ear headset that came with Nexus S, I don't really fancy the style and comfortable just with earbuds as from time to time I want my friend to listen to the sound quality of Voodoo+FLAC in Nexus S.
Instead of the original headset, I used the one that came with my previous Motorola Milestone if I'd like to listen to music and having the option of receiving call through it......but...I needed more juice out of it. My ears and brain have been accustomed to the sound of YUIN PK3 which I have but that earbuds has no mic.

To combine what I need sans the Kawahara cable, this is what I did to the original Samsung Nexus S headset:
Pried open the original headset
De-soldered the cable
Pried open my YUIN PK3 earbuds
Soldered back the cable
Voila!
Eargasm..... (I know......I always say that)

That's classy, throw some flacs on there and enjoy it you deserve it. Wish i was good with small wires.

Pretty cool. I also suck with small wires so I can't do it.
Off topic as well but, what case is that?

Yep..it is really small and I got a very shaky hands, I can't even draw a straight line slowly. I used helping hand to do that.
This is the review of the case:

Irrelevant Question...

Inspired me to do the same to my Klipsch S4s. Thanks!

Yes, interested to find out too

Why do their headphones look so cheap

With the help of your write-up, I just did this exact mod and it turned out great. Thanks for the idea!

Where'd you get the red and white earbud foam?

I bought it from online shop in China, there are couple seller who sell similar on ebay, just search for "white/red earbud foam"...but I have yet to see the doughnut style color foam

Just thought I'd update on this mod.
So earlier I reported that I had replaced the cord on my Klipsch S4 headphones with the stock nexus buds.
Worked great until the stock cord had problems with the strain relief and the connection.
Overall, to anybody who uses their headphones daily, this mod isn't worth it. The stock cord is just too cheap.

I believe I'd run into the same problem with the Klipsch wires failing. If I were to get the S4s again, I would get the reference series. Already have some extra comply tips, work fantastic.
I've been looking at picking up a pair of X10is for years. I just can't justify it if they are going to break. That and they don't have android integration.

Hello
Hello, I want to ask how dismantled the Samsung original headset? With what tool? And then they can be closed or have already broken? I am interested in whether threaded or glued?
thank you

I used long nose pliers to open it, it was glued, it can be closed again if you do it nicely, just glue it back with power glue.
I sold my NS, now using GN with the same headset...still good today.

Nice work! Gotta try with my Grado's.

That looks really good, I love that cable I might just man up and try this myself.

Monster Beats by Dr Dre Headphones (Can Type)

I decided to get these headphones after seeing them on various gadget websites and seeing them on display in the shop.... OMG they are awesome! I can't believe the audio quality I am getting out of my HD2... of course, I "knew" quality headphones were important for listening to music... I have never been too crazy about music/tunes except when I do my workout laps at the pool ... then, the underwater headphones are crap and don't seal properly...
So, I have been missing out. I thought the earphones that came with the HD2 were pretty good. I have never had a decent seal with the in ear type plugs without being uncomfortable... This was until I walked into the store and by some chance decided to try these cans which were on display... after having been wowed by the display set, I tested this on my HD2 and was SOLD immediately.... they are expensive at $300 to $350 but heck... you MUST try them! THey do fold and when folded, becomes a more "compact" package than BOSE's offering... but the bass on this with crystal clarity in the treble blows the BOSE I tried away IMHO...
The BEATS come with a nice case and cleaning cloth... it also has TWO interchangable cables. One standard red one and another black one with a mic on the cable and a simple remote. This cable lets you take calls by pressing a button on the mic. The same button functions as a play pause button also. Nothing more is offered but the addition of a mic is a surprise for cans of this quality! And very welcome indeed... it can take a lot of time to have to pull out the headphones, remove the full size headphones and then take a call.... the mic cable is black in color and come with gold plated plugs. Finally, both a HiFi plug adapter and an airline adapter are also included
Downside... these headphones require power... power to power those drivers and also to run the noise reduction electronics. If the juice (2 x AAA) runs out, you won't get sound. The batts should run for a long time though... I have been using these for a while and have even forgotten to turn them off many nights... still running strong on the original Duracell batts I will be swapping these out with Eneloop AAA batts when these run out though.
I am really happy with these. The comfort level is amazing with ultra soft pads over each can. the build quality of the plastics could be better I think for $350 headphones... but I am still wowed each time I wear them. The noise reduction is great for airplane or train journeys too... if you want to hear what is going on around you to engage in conversation, just press a button on the right ear... this disengages the noise reduction and mutes the music and viola, all can be heard! Sweet!
Don't take my word for it, go try them out!
Oh... I also use SRS WOW which I installed on my HD2...
ah nice ive tried them before and they are pretty good but very pricey.. i use these... they are made by an english company and the quality is supurb!
they are kam khp1500!

interested in these headphones, do they ship to netherlands + got a site where i can take a look at the price etc?
there are quite a few sites selling them if you search but they are usally about £30 - £50 so around 40 - 60 euros
here is 1 site.. they are £35 but shipping to eu from £15

in my opinion for the price they well out perform anything anywhere near its price region

get the ultimate ears pair. skull candy is overpriced like crazy. head over to head-fi.org and read some reviews. the HD2 in cable music control is the same as the iphone, so its nothing new. plenty of headphones out there from the cheap $5 stuff on handhelditems.com to the $350 ultimate ear triplefi 10vi support it.

I have a set of Westone UM3X - sweet perfection - but am looking for a mic/vol/voicecmd button type adapter. Any ideas? Someone mentioned on this thread the HD2 has the same pin out as the iphone so those should work?

What will you be doing with these headphones? I know I had some motorola ROKR BT Headphones and when I went running they would cut out. So just a thing to be careful about if you decide to get those BT Headphones.
I've also been looking for a good headset for this phone. The wired headset I got with the phone hurts horribly when used for more than a few seconds. I'm hoping I can find something either wired or bluetooth that will have the play/pause, next track and previous track capabilities with this phone.
I'm not willing to just make my own headset simply because I have a terrible tendency to burn myself constantly each and every time I solder something.
Simply put, is there a commercially available headset (wired or bluetooth) that is able to supply similar functionality (that people can confirm) to the one included with the phone?

Just received my iharmonix IHX-PLAT-I Platinum i-Series earphones. Gotta say these are the best sound quality earbuds I have ever heard. Fitment is great. I use these while I'm om my chopper and they will stay in place up to 80mph easy. However... No volume, No song skip, It does have song pause, phone answer, phone dial last number called, and phone hang-up. Microphone sound quality is very good as well. Highly recommend at $39.99 and free shipping.

Bluetooth headset.

I already search the entire threat on accessories and can not found one treat specific for discussion on bluetooth headset, so i try to start one. To Mod, if i misslook or overlook about this treat which already started by someone else, feel free to remove this treat.
I use this one from Itech, voiceclip 310;

This is clip type, there is another type which you hook on your ear set one, but im wearing a glasses, that why i think its not suitable for me. This babe i buy for rm99 which equal $34 dollar.
Just use it for 1 day, so far it is good. Receive call, making call sound is very clear and good. How about you guys? Any others good brand?
Heard about the one that can display name contact person, but i could not found one here.

Using Jabra Stone and I like it, no need to worry to break the earhook when wearing tight jeans (keeping it in the pocket), the reception is much better than the original ones coz it fits my inside ears better than the original. battery is good since it always clipped at the charger

I also have mw600, but the LG HBS-700 looks really interesting. The mw600 is OK, it supports multiple devices and has FM radio, but I didn't like the earphones just dangling around my neck. I also find it hard to control the volume with mw600.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
what is it?
It is a retro styled device that turns your phone into a 80's style desk phone. You can either rest your phone in the base part (or dock) and connect it through the supplied 3.5mm jack or you can use the handset piece separate and also plug just that part into the 3.5mm jack.

It's something I could definitely see using at home. I had the phone in my front pocket and the handset hooked into the jack and was able to use it with no issues. The handset also has its own volume adjustment which is nice. That said, it's probably not for everyone...
It might look a bit strange carrying around the handset piece and using it in public hehe. For a relatively older guy like me (I'm 36), I grew up with these kinds of phones so it definitely appeals to me.
My sister in law just got herself the handset piece (you can buy it separate) and she likes it too.
The base (dock) will accomodate most other phones. But the Note 2 is too wide to fit the opening... so I'm trying to think of ways to either make it fit or some other solution..
Maybe this pic will help clarify...
That's my wife's Galaxy S3 in there..

There is one 3.5mm female jack on the left side of the device that the handset connects to. The handset can either be connected to that, or you can connect it directly to the phone's 3.5mm jack. If you connect the handset to the device, there is a male 3.5mm jack that is used as a passthrough for the handset to connect to the phone. At the bottom of the device the hole you see is to pass a cord for a wall charger, so no, the device itself won't charge your phone. Hope that clears things up a bit.

can anyone recommend a good portable speaker?

Hello everyone, sold my iphone and got a galaxy note 2, but the old portable speaker i have is incompatible. I seem to be having problems looking for another one also. Can anyone give me a suggestion for a good portable speaker for the note 2? thanks.

I'd be interested to know other suggestions as well.
I have narrowed down my search to only devices that support aptX bluetooth codec. Since our phones support it, it seems like a waste to not use it. Unfortunately, the Jambox and Big Jambox do not. I'm sure they still sound good, but I really want to take advantage of aptX.
Currently, my top choice is the soundmatters foxL v2. Runner up: Braven 650
I've got a Bose Soundlink. Great sound and good travel size but not cheap.

I've got the original jambox and recommend it. I've paired and head the soundlink and would say the same - very very crisp good sound.
if you want loud + portable and good sound, the soundfreaq kick is a bargain around 100 bucks
beyond that, the logitech pure-fi (i have two), originally made for idevice docking is a really good sounding bar, rechargable and has aux in; i use it with a paired hs3000 and basically, everything i own is bluetooth.
goodluck! post up if you buy something!
I have the Soundfreaq sound kick.
Fantastic sound for the price.

Hello everyone, sold my iphone and got a galaxy note 2, but the old portable speaker i have is incompatible. I seem to be having problems looking for another one also. Can anyone give me a suggestion for a good portable speaker for the note 2? thanks.

After I did some extended research on internet and in the stores I have decided on Jabra Solemate (link)
GREAT SOUND ( I mean REALLY great and loud), better than monster, bose, etc
4 speakers
battery lasts like 10h
easy up to 4 devices can connect over BT
can connect to computers via USB and mini jack (works with phone as well)
the cover is a unique feature (let's the sound out undistorted, but the water / dust out)
very stable on any surface.
has a mic so you can use it as a conference device
CON
sometimes BT connection with my MacBook Pro is drooping (no clues why). It did not happened with the phone
I have the white version

Another vote for the Bose Soundlink. Battery life is great and it's very portable. You can fine tune the sound with an equalizer app for excellent results. I got mine at BJ's and it included the car charger.

For $17, the X mini II capsule speaker is quite loud and I own one of them http://www.amazon.com/X-Mini-II-Capsule-Speaker-Black/dp/B001UEBN42
I have the Beacon Audio Phoenix. It is really good! Do a quick search for its reviews and you will see.

Jawbone Jambox
I think Good sound with Portability comes in a great package with Jambox
Was hesitant cause of the cost for a long time but finally got mine month ago , and i simply love it.
