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.

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:

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.

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...

Well my trusty stock headphones finally broke so am looking to replace them.
Don't want to spend more than 30-40 pounds either. Looking for in ear headphones with volume control, pause play and skip tracks.

I saw the news about those buds. Only downside is that they don't appear to have any in-line volume controls, which I believe the OP was looking for. Let us know how they sound, and if the call/end button works as advertised-- we know for sure that they'll sound awesome, too.
As for the OP's request, I've been using Zagg's Smartbuds. It uses a mechanical slider to control volume so it's not totally ideal, but I've yet to find a good pair of in-ear headphones with play/pause and volume controls.
Also, I had to install an app called Headset Button Controller to get everything to get the controls to work properly.
Long solution to what should be a simple fix, heh.

Hi Guys
searched in the accessories forum but could not find a definite answer.
has anyone tried urbeats monster by DRE and found it to work with the note II. by work i mean all three buttons (answer, volume up, vol down)
it is written on the case that is supports HTC mobile phones, but i dont know if it supports our note II
its quite expensive so i am not going to "buy and try"
hope someone has an answer for that, amazon link below
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Headp...F8&qid=1358683672&sr=8-1&keywords=urbeats+HTC
No Volume. Quaility don't match price. I OWNED ONE SET OF THESE AND ONE SET OF Bose Mie2 by far bose much superior audio and comfort. Dr Dre only is a brand not quality and long research you find on Bose or Sennnheiser (another brand much better than Monster.
Bose Mie2i is the same Mie2 with volume control such feature is named Control Talk and only work on Apple devices since is not an open standard.

I know that the wireless beats work but are a little pricey. I also know that the Motorola S11 Bluetooth headphones work and sound awsome. I have owned beats earbuds to the beats pros, these to me sound great and retail for far less $129 the wireless beats are 279 last I checked but I have known someone to pick up a set for 209 through Verizon with their discount.

Thats definitely not true, there are plenty of non samsung headphones that will work. I have beats studio with mic and volume control and they work on my note 2 and note 3. Its not the headphone its the mainly the rom youre using and the drivers installed in your phone. If youre rooted, i recommend viper for android (free in playstore). Hands down the best driver/equalizer out there.

Lies. Video or it didn't happen.
Neither the Monster iSoniTalk (with single play/pause button and mic) nor the non-Monster mic with volume control cable works for me. I've tried it on 5 different ROMs (2 stock Samsung), 2 phones (Note 2 and S2), both rooted and all of the times I've tried, the volume buttons don't work.
Out of curiosity, which ROM (and what "drivers") are you using?
iSoniTalk:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Non-Monster with mic and volume control:
Exactly. Samsung uses specific resistor values inside of their remote for volume control. No ROM will be able to "correct" that.

I actually find them to be a bit better than the ubeats you are talking about. They're essentially a slightly newer version of the stock HTC One earphones + include volume controls.
Its sad that all this guy wanted was an honest opinion on the urdeats, instead he got an argument about whether things will or will not work on a Samsung device.
I am using slimbean rom and neak kernal.
My urbeats work great, and sound fantastic.
as i do not have dog hearing, my beats pros and urbeats have some of the beast sound I have found in headphones.
admittedly i have not tried every brand, but I am very happy with the quality of the highs and lows i get from my beats especially with lossless music.
as for the other controls.
I can answer the phone with the middle button on my urbeats as well as start the voice recognition with it, not at the same time obviously.
the mics pics up sound great.
as for the other 2 buttons on the urbeats they do not work for volumes for me (music or phone call).
I actually didn't even notice this till i saw this post and decided to try it out.
I am going to look into this further and see if there is anything i can do about it.
The biggest issue i see with beats is they get a lot of hate for being a "popular Brand"

Take a look at the link i posted above you. The Urbeats I got free with my old HTC phone, so I have a suspition these other ones are very similar and may have even had a similar manufacturing process even though HTC could no longer use the "beats" logo on them.
I have genuinly found them a bit more crisp than the urbeats, with thumping bass and fully working volume controls. At that ridiculously low price I'd urge people to try them and they play especially nice on the note II with fully working controls.
Personally it was a no brainer for me to replace my urbeats with these, and the controls are a massive bonus. They're definately much better sounding than 11 quid earphones.

Thank You.
very helpful and informative.
I'm always on the lookout for new quality products.
This is what XDA is all about
I think we are talking about two different things. Off-the-shelf Beats come with iPhone controls with multifunction button (MFB) and volume control, just like every other pair of headphones. MFB works with any Android phone for playback/call/transport/GoogleNow, while Volume will not work because iPhone volume control uses different set of resistors inside of the remote. The same way Samsung OEM headphones will not work with Apple because Samsung uses it's own set of resistor values for volume control. That is why today a number of manufacturers provide two different versions of their headphones (like Klipsch or V-Moda) by including either MFB without volume (for Android) or MFB with volume (for apple).
You mentioned above HTC phones with their version of "custom" urBeats. With previous HTC affiliation with Beats, those headphones were specifically made for HTC/android where volume does work. I can't confirm 100% since I never used any HTC specific headphones (might make sense to test a few out), but I'm starting to notice a lot of references to HTC headphones working OK with Samsung phones, so I assume HTC specific headphones use the same resistor values in their remote for volume control. Even with my recent review of UE900 replacement cable which was designed with original Samsung in-line remote/volume, they also referenced compatibility with HTC which makes me believe any HTC specific headphones will work with Galaxy phones (MFB and volume controls).
Bottom line, regular off-the-shelf Beats volume control will not work with Galaxy phone, but custom made HTC Beats will.

Yeah, but interestly enough, my HTC urbeats volume control do not work with the Note 2. However, the slightly newer model of the HTC One stock earphones with volume control work fine.
That's why I suggest them as an alternative to the urbeats, where I also genuinly believe they sound better too.

The OP asked if all three buttons (volume up/down, play/pause) worked on the Note II, so all this discussion is more relevant than you claiming to own a couple Beats headphones. Something just for relevance's sake.
I have read that urBeats' volume buttons are supposed to work on HTC phones, but I have never seen anyone confirm it for sure so I assume They don't actually work. but people insist that they do. Those people are probably HTC owners who don't actually have a pair but have read the compatibility with HTC phones and brag to others about it.
I know for a fact, however, that the urBeats' inline controls work on the iPhone and other Apple devices. The controller looks very similar to my Beats Executive's inline controls too, which also only work on Apple devices. So from this, I conclude that the urBeats only work with Apple devices, and therefore do not work on Android devices.

I'd like to bring your attention to this picture:
This is a picture of my Beats Executive retail box. As seen here, the box clearly says the inline controller's compatibility with a number of devices. The controller is indeed compatible with HTC, Blackberry and Android devices. However, they all share the common characteristic of only supporting the use of the middle button, used for calls and playing/pausing music. This is why there are two separate diagrams; to differentiate iDevices from the rest of the crowd.
Unfortunately, the Executives are and will be the last Beats headphone I will ever buy due to unsatisfactory experiences, meaning that I will not buy the urBeats just to settle this matter. I'll leave that to someone who has already owns a pair and can prove the inline control's compatibility with the Note II with substantiation. I now only buy replicas, as they easily match the genuine article's material and audio quality without me having to spend hundreds of dollars just for the red 'b' on the side. In the end, Beats are just for posers - something I had to painstakingly realise for myself. If it's just for the looks, why not spend a sixth of the price for 100% of the appearance?
Long answer short:
The inline controls of the Monster urBeats by Dr. Dre have partial support for Android devices, but the volume controls do not work.
I now await a counterargument.

Post above yours I said the volume controls do not work with the note 2. However, I have just plugged the urbeats in to test it again and they seem to work.
Not sure why I assumed they didn't, but I can now confirm that YES, the volume controls on the urbeats work perfectly fine on my stock 4.1.2 note 2.
They don't with my nexus 4 though..

Do you have a pair of stock Note 2 earphones? If so, can you try them on the Nexus 4? Also, install this application (on either the Note 2 or Nexus 4, both would be good) and within the application, press the buttons on the controller.
The key codes should be as follows:
Play/pause: 226
Volume down:114
Volume up:115

Stock note 2 headphones didn't work on nexus. Will try the app out tomorrow as it's extremely late here and I need to get to sleep.

I'm pretty sure the Nexus 4 didn't come with any stock earphones at all, and on top of that it doesn't support volume controls on any headset (correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe it had something to do with cutting costs...
Any luck?
How do I make a three button headset work with my Moto X?
Yesterday I got a set of free headphones from a Samsung Galaxy Mega promo booth. They had three buttons (normal button plus volume up and down) so I sent a tweet with their #makeitmega hastag and got my free swag...and promptly deleted the tweet.
Unfortunately, none of the buttons do anything. The volume up and down do nothing while I am on a call, and the other button didn't seem to do anything either. Is there any way to make this work? Its not like I am trying to use an apple headset...samsung was giving these away so presumably they work with android.

Samsung headsets are different than normal 'Apple Comaptible' headsets. The middle button and mic work on all my Apple headsets, but my Samsung specific headset, nothing works. I'm wondering if the M4D3 Sol Republic ones on the Moto site will have 3 buttons/work properly?

I bought the Sol Republic headphones (separately, but they're the same model) and the middle play/pause button works but the volume ones don't.

Wait, so they are selling 3-button headphones in colors to match the phones...and the volume buttons don't even work?
I have still been unable to get *any* of the buttons on this samsung headset to work. I have some one button headsets that I am assuming will work (though I haven't tried yet), but the volume controls would be nice, especially when you are on a conference call where some people are on really loud handsets and others are on super quiet speakerphones.

I can't speak for the earbuds that you actually get with the phone, but I'm 99% sure that the ones I have are the same, and no, the volume buttons don't work.
EDIT: unless the ones that Moto ships which the phones are customized somehow, which seems unlikely but I suppose it's possible.

They do claim they are 'M4DE' for Motorola and prominently feature the volume buttons in the presser. Whether thats just marketing/pr not talking to the engineers, who knows.

Really? On motos page it distinctly shows volume control as well. If that's true, that is mighty lame of them.

There's something odd with the headset jack... My Native Union POP Phone won't work on it either.

Well at least that explains it. It's a bit disappointing though, I was looking forward to that as sort of a new feature for an android phone. I can't believe they haven't done it yet - I mean, how hard can it possibly be?

the solution i found to this problem is changing the cable. lots of different cables are compatible. just thought I would share. hope it helps someone. i have the sol republic v10 tracks.
How well do the one-button Sol Republic earbuds sold on the Moto website work?
Does the phone respond well to the play/pause button press commands?
