Sony ericsson and other brands switched the pins on the headset plug so you can only use that specific plug. You need a converter in order to make them work.. I know, it sucks.. There is a thread about that somewhere.

This only affects headphones with microphone.

damn. but thanks anyway.

I had the same problem with my old skull candy headphones that had a mic.
I solved it by ripping the plasstic cover up abit thats on the jack. so it pushes in deeper on ur phone.

Test a new headphone with mick. if it doesn't work, it's a problem with your jack. But the whole jack isn't out of function it's just the first connector. that means that you can't use tv-out too

Fake headphones will not function properly with Galaxy S.

Mic is available only with the headphones that came in the box.
Other headphones with mic give only sound output, while the mic remains non-functional.

I have skullcandy not the fake ones... and also stock earphones wont work..gives distorting sound but dont know how some without mic one and some mic ones work but not the one i have

As u see, different headphones from different manufacturers have different load resistances. And this load resistance is responsible for the quality of output you get. So, the the stock headphones are best matched to the phones output capacity for best results.
I suggest you try some other I9000s headphones before you go for sound jack replacement.

Well this may sound dumb. But make sure you have really pushed the jack into the port.

I got a a-jays one+ headset and found it was not compatible with Galaxy S . The sound was very low and only when I pressed the remote button (mic button) the audio was clear. Got to know frm the customer care that only handsets that have American Headset jack (AHJ) are compatible . I was suggested to go for a converter to use the headset. Anyways planning for handset upgrade(definitely will go for a handset with AHJ).
Hope it helps....Anyone with links to order AHJ converters are welcome to help the threadstarter.
Thanks

Not 1 anyway, koss porta pro sucks.

I'm listening to 30% dubstep, 30% rap and 40% rock/punk rock. And sennheiser works like a charm

i am looking for good ear phones

Headphones:
1. Sennheiser px100 II
2. Audio Technica sj55
3. Akg k518
Earphones:
1. Sennheiser cx300 II

I got some nice pair of Sony in-ear headphones. They were about 10 quid from Tesco. They have really nice bass response and are made well. Use poweramp player to get the full potential.
Model number is MDR-EX10LP.

Skullcandy!
You really must try the skullcandy earphones. They're really good. I've bought them because my old ones broke, and I must admit, the sound quality is much better than my previous ones (JVC).

i dont know about specific earphones but my experience, they lack bass bit heavily so go for earphone that can support heavy bass?

Hey all, I was considering buying a pair of these bad boys. I was also considering getting the apt-x transmitter for another $50 with them. So a pair of Bluetooth headphones and the transmitter for about $150 American. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I really would like to buy a good pair of Bluetooth headphones, but not in ear buds or anything behind the neck. I was wondering if these looked good to anyone or if there's another pair I should get instead.
Thanks in advance guys!

Well.
The most popular ones are JVC, Beats, SkullCandy and Philips. In the nowaday market though....
Who knows why my bluetooth headset volume is so low?!

You could try using an app like Volume+ or Volume Control. Just search "volume" in the play store. They should be able to increase the output volume of your Bluetooth audio.

Use headphones (with inline mic) as mic?

I have a pair of Meelectronics M6Ps that have the standard inline mic and single button.
These play sound perfectly fine yet I cannot use the mic on them for anything with my Nexus 7 (skype, google now, etc.)
I know the mic works because I've used it on my phone.
The Nexus 7 seems to insist on using it's built in mic instead of the headset's mic, how can I change this?

Bump 10char.

I don't have an answer to your mic question but can you let me know if the button works?

I asked a similar question in the Q&A forum and a guy said his worked fine. I haven't had a chance to try it myself though.

Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Headphones NOT Compatible?

Weird, my Nexus 10 can't find the Kinivo BTH220. These are very popular, inexpensive bluetooth cans. From Amazon reviews they are reported to work with Nexus 7. Anyone else have problems? I'm stock for now on the Nexus 10.

Tried to pair my Kinivo BTH220's as well - same issue. Doesn't find them. I'm too much of a noob to offer a solution but wanted you to know you're not alone with this question. Wonder what's going on with the N10, they work perfectly with my phone...

Incompatible bluetooth stack?

Oh No...this is not compatible with Google Nexus 1.
OMG. Is this headphone not compatible with Android devices?
My google nexus one (rooted) is not able to discover the headphone at all.
Is this headphone only working for Apple products and Windows 7?
On the manual, it should work with Android devices though.

I'm hijacking this thread since I searched the forum for bth220, but my kinovo's aren't working on my HTC One X+. Can pair with my car.

Hmm, not sure what's going on, but I have those headphones and they work great on my nexus 10.

I found this from a review on Amazon: ... I contacted Kinivo when I had some difficulty pairing the headphones with my Nexus 10. It turns out the pairing difficulty was my fault (I was making the Nexus 10 bluetooth visible to devices but forgot to also have it search for devices). Kinivo responded almost immediately and walked me through the correct setup. Bottom line, buy the Kinivo product, you won't be disappointed!
Update: I tried again with Nexus 10 and paired ok. I'm not sure what the problem was.

I used it with my GS3 just this morning. Try this. Turn off the headphones. Enable bluetooth on the phone. Hold down the power button on headphones for 10 seconds or so until the lights flash. On the phone scan for new bluetooth devices. It should pair.

How is the sound quality with the s3 ?

I have these headphones and they work fine on my Nexus 10. I also have the newer model the 240 and they also work fine...

It just ok. Cuts out occasionally when not fully charged. I still use with an S3.

These headphones are great. I have 2 sets, one at work and one at home. The company is awesome too. A friend of mine had a pair crap out on him and Kinivo sent him a replacement free of charge and didn't even ask for the old ones back.
