How can I make my own headset adapt. - Nexus S Accessories

I seem to have misplaced my nexus S headsets and I liked the fact tthat I could wear them and hit the button to answer a call and stuff...
Looking at the headset, it seemed simple. But I still don't quite understand how it works.
I imagine to make one , its probably easier to get ahold of a 3.5mm jack that already has 3 leads and then cut it up...
But I don't know...
Help me technically awesome forum members.

I think it would be less troublesome just to buy the nexus s earphones off ebay or amazon.

Did headphones even come with the NS? I don't remember there being headphones in the box... just a usb cable and an AC adapter.
Sweet thank you I was looking for some since mine were jacked at work

ebay? They sell everything else
even though the original ones are nice, they are super uncomfortable for my ears and keep falling off as soon as i move. need to look more for some good ones with microphone for talking.

I think they makes the best earphones for all price range. I have both the M31 (no mic) and the M9P. They are both great for the small price I paid for, IMO. I'm no audiophile but they sound great without being a boom fest.

Looking into buying a new stereo Bluetooth headset

I got an old Motorola sd9 headset I've been using, was given to me for free and I think it's dying. Audio cuts in and out all the time, seems to get worse in my pocket and the buttons at starting to come off. The audio is the biggest thing. Is this just a nature of the beast? Which one does everyone recommend? I just din wanna buy another and have the same issues. Seems when I stick my phone in my pocket it cuts in and out even worse.

Well after 2 hours of reading reviews and having 6 different headsets in my cart, I ended up buying the arctic sound one for $27 off amazon. Biggest selling point was the first review was from a former SD-9 owner complaining about how the SD-9 would intermittently skip for no reasons, and the Arctic sound one had flawless signal. There were many other factors too for my decision, but that was the ultimate one. I mean there was a nice GoGear headset that looked a lot like a jaybird I was very close to buying and then one review mentioned having the same issue I'm having with my SD-9. I also really wanted one that went around the back of the neck. Also 4 star rating if I recall, the other one was another generic one similar design with a 4 1/2 star rating. The one review comparing it directly to the SD-9 was the tie breaker. Wish me luck!
repost after you have a chance to test them... i have the Moto's also and have always had the intermittent sound problem. I would love to replace them.
Will do!

Kept meaning to report back but I kept forget. Anyway the arctic sound headset is awesome! Audio quality is world's ahead actual has bass an fits just as nice. I've used them probably 4 hours this far and no signal loss what so ever. Only times the signal cut out were the phones fault: ie accessing data, syncing. A lot of reviewers complain about the build quality but for $27 I expected worse. Imo people think that motos have great build quality because of the unibody design but truth be told they are no better than this set. And that's another thing, the arctic sound actually fold up and come with a case for easy pocket storage when your not using them.
There are however 2 things moto does better. First is the lightweight and stylish design of the sd9. It looks good on your head. The arctic sound looks ridiculous. You look like your wearing a star wars droid costume with the arctic sound while the sd9 just looks literally like 2 pairs of Bluetooth headsets stuck together. The other problem is button layout and feel. With the sd9 I could easily skip, pause, or turn up and down the volume as necessary and the buttons were hard and stuck out so you could feel them easily with your fingers. The arctic sound pair isn't as well thought out. Their are 5 buttons on the right side and no dedicated call button, instead there is a gigantic "multifunction" button that controls power, call, and play and pause buttons through various button combinations that can get confusing. For instance voice dialing is holding 2 seconds, power off is 5 seconds. Redial is tap twice, play and pause are default. The skip forward, backwards, vol up and down are arranged in a cross pattern around it. They don't stick out very well so you gotta kind of feel around to push the correct button.
Inspite of these minor shortcomings overall it's a better headset than the Motorola and a steal for $27. Highly recommend

I had those Motorola SD-9hds also. I would keep the phone near to my face and it would still skip?! I was so frustrated. I spent like 70$ on that!
But I finally got fed up and bought the plantronics back beats. Best investment ever.

It was a relief to know other people had the skipping issue too. I was worried it was just the nature of the beast. I thought it was my captivate originally causing the problem but then I upgraded to the vivid and same issue

I'm assuming you're talking about the headphones? I've been using some cheap Skull Candy HPs for the longest time with no issues. I got the phone used so all I got was a charger. Haha. Can't say I've ever heard of the problem you're having though.

Bose is over priced, skull candy is worth only if u live in us. But IMO their sound quality isn't very remarkable, skull candy is notorious for its bass which sounds terrible.
If u are looking for Sth cheap while neutral sounding, u could go for the westones um2 series. Or St cheaper... the ultimatears200. Or if u dont wana pay convince some one to pas u their Sony ericsons in ears, they are pretty decent hahas. For ear buds, apple ones are decent.

The TF10 sounds awesome, but has serious fit issues for a lot of people, myself included.
bluetooth headset all the way, have never plugged a wire in other than for power.
try JLab earphones! paid 30 pounds for it on ebay as they are not being sold in my country. Really amazing sound quality, works perfectly, long lasting (now lasting already for 0.75 year which is long for me).

Try beyer dynamic! Best sound. 10 times beter than beatsaudio.

Headphones
Hey friends,
I read all your replies for this post. It seems like all are telling about headphones without mic.
Unfortunately my original headphone which I got with Nexus S is not working properly.
So please suggest me from where can I get the original samsung headphones or is there any adapter with mic with which I can connect to any other headset. Presently I am staying in UAE.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Vinu

What earbuds/headphones fully function with Note 2?

I know I will get Newb flamed for this, but I searched for hours as per video and didn't find an answer that really helped. I am getting ready to drop my Iphone 4 and pick up the new Note 2 through ATT but I know that it does not come with headphones. I researched pretty much every headphone/earbud thread on here and found a few ideas, but when I went to the manufactures websites, some claimed that their earbuds were not fully functional with the Note 2. So my question is, what earbuds/headphones are fully functional with the Note 2? I mean they Have volume control, answer calls, FF, RW, Pause, and skip. Any help is appreciated so I can get my earbuds the same day as the phone.
Thanks and be kind.

You can use any one-button headset with "Headset Button Controller". My choice - Philips SHE 8005/00.
I would guess the Galaxy S3 stock headset would work just fine with it.
3 days of looking up different headphones and i am finding out some of the websites flat out suck as far as help goes. I am just wanting something that I guess would be considered plug and play with no need to download an app. I like the phillips SHE8005 recommendation, but you have to get the app to make them fully functional and then I read not all features work with the Note 2. I just want to get some feedback from someone who is actually using a fully functional head-set. I am planning on getting the phone in the next few days and want to have the headset when I get it. I keep seeing JBuds on Amazon, but I dont know if they will work.
Thanks again for the input.
I use a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Motorola S305, about $30 on amazon. They last a full day on a charge, going about three years now. They have the volume, skip, play/pause controls. And, never any cords to get tangled.

I have since up graded from my HTC urbeats to these Beats by Dre Wireless. The can be run wireless or with a wire. Sound quality is good from both music and phone conversation. All buttons function. 10 hr play time 100 hr stand by. Rechargeable and im not sure but I think if the battery dies you still can run them with a cable dont quote me on that but the rest is a sure bet.

I have heard that as well, I have also heard the opposite. I know that there are several tiers of Beats that range from
Ibuds/urbuds thay are smart phone compatible( many styles and designs)
Solo
Mixr
Studio
Executive
Pro
And probably many more I cannot think of.
I have the wireless ones and I can say for sure that they are not the best sounding but they do offer a few perks that the others do not such as all the control functions on the head phones so you never have to retrieve you phone/music player from your pocket or bag. They are rechargeable and the savings in good quality batteries will pay for them rather quickly.
They are not the best but are good, and lets be honest, we cant afford the best.... lol

How are the headphones you might be willing to part with? I am not even sure what brand or model earbuds the note 2 comes with from other providers. I seem to be leaning towards a blue tooth set lately. The LG ones sound promising.

Need recommendation for good in ear headphones.

Here's the thing. I have Bose headphones I've been using for a while now. I live in NYC and use them everyday, and over the past 2 years they've taken a beating and are showings signs of falling apart. (The inner wires are showing, and are holding on by a thread)
Long story short, thier ok. But never liked them much. I just kept them because I had already paid for them and its not like you can return them after opening without paying a hell of a restocking "fee."
What I didnt like about them additionally, is that they hardly worked with my note 2. The volume buttons dont work, and the only thing that does work is pause/skip to next track button.
Im wondering if anyone has good recommendations for headohones that offer great sound, are noise canceling/in ear, but most of all the buttons work on it. (Pause, skip, volume, etc)
My price range max is $150. Any suggestions are truely appreciated

Hello, thanks for responding.
To be honest, I'm not really looking for the best sounding ones. What I'm more interested, is ones that would work with this phone. I guess what I'm looking for more than anything is, have you ever looked at headphones and on the box on the back it says compatible with iPhone / iPod? Well I'm kinda looking for once that would be compatible with the Samsung Galaxy note 2. I know that there are so many different phones, that it would be possible for them to certify the note 2 to specifically. But my main concern, his headphones were the volume buttons and functions on the mic piece work.
