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..

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

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'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
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.
Anyone know of anything?

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.

I don't understand why we don't have proper headphone with support for android :S
I don't believe it is unreasonable for headphones to have volume control and pause/skip tracks, especially when smartphones are meant to be, well, smart

PowerAMP has gapless and crossfading now, and it is epic, it's the only thing my iPOD did right and missed dearly.
i use bose MIE2 mobile phone headset, inline mic, play/pause/ff/rw single button. they cost 140 USD, but superb quality is absolutely worth it.
and android phones DO seem to work with the standard for mobile headsets.

No mic on it. I doubt the phone will pick up voice from a pocket or will it?
The one I have now is just loose in the ear just turning my head it almost falls out.

Didn't see it in the picture, it's hidden well then. The headset looks nice the only downside was no mic, but since it has one, it may be one I order.
Se mw600 ftw
I have the Sony MW600 as well and it is indeed nice, especially since you can use any IEMs with it.
Lately I have been mulling over the upgrade to the newly released MW1 but there seems to be compatibility issues with the microSD slot built into it.

i am thinking about getting a pair of these
LG Tone HBS-700
My favorite headset and I think I tried them all. Awesome battery life (10+ hours music playback), comfortable wear, hardware on/off, standard micro USB charging, vibrating call indicator, quality microphone, it beats all the other headphones I have. Currently $47 on Amazon.
I found the MW600 unusable because of its incomprehensible user interface, tiny controls that are easy to hit by mistake, fragile clip, unreadable display.
I also have a Motorola Sports and a Plantronics 603 which seem to share the same electronics and the same flaw: they sometimes refuse to power on even though fully charged, and sometimes lose their charge even when plugged in. To me that makes them completely useless if I can't count on them being ready when I need them.
Most others, like the Jabra Clipper, would almost be perfect if it weren't for their lousy battery life (5h playback on a good day).
The LG Tone could only be improved by making the earbuds interchangeable.
Yup, The best one. I already ordered one. The white version looks beautiful too.

I've had a pair of these for over a year and I love them -- best BT headphones I've ever had.
I use a Rocket fish behind-your-head BT headphones which has a mic. Bought them a year ago for $50 and they show zero signs of wear.
Oh, and they are go over your ear, not IN them...which always gives me a massive headache in under 10 minutes of use. These I can wear for hours on end with no pain

Does your LG HBS-700 work with your Nexus 7?
Mine pairs, but when I try to play spotify, plex, etc., I don't get sound.
I have an og Evo 4G and when I run Jelly Bean based ROMs, the headset works for phone calls, but not for spotify, music, or anything other media.
I'm beginning to wonder if it is a compatibility issue with Jelly Bean.
Otherwise, I'm a big fan of the headset.
Tenqa Remxd Bluetooth Headphones -- Black
Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth Headset -- Black

Cheap enough and good enough to take a chance.
I have the P311 and they are excellent for the price.

Are you taking about the RF-MAB2? If so, ditto. Works perfectly with all my devices, including the N7. I tried a similar Motorola and Sony. It's only a store brand but they are more comfortable and sound better than the others.

I am looking for some help. Now that I have a tablet and I am trying to find a good BT stereo headset for it. I am going to mostly use the headset for listening to my tablet for movies and doing items on my tablet where I do not want to bug my wife and others.
I am also going to want to use it with my phone when I am working out or working on items where a tablet is just too big to have around. I went to Best Buy and they stated to use the Jaybird ones. They are going to take a large chunk out of my wallet. I am trying to find what else is out there and would have good sound quality and bass for movies but can take getting all sweating in a work out.
Thank you for any help or tips on this. Just kind of stuck right now.
You can also look at getting a receiver that has a headphone jack and use the headphone of choice.

Might have to look into that. Thanks
Motorola has some water resistant ones but they are trash. Go with the jaybirds. I have several friends with them and they work great, and don't short out.
I have a Sony mw600 receiver that works pretty well. And with a standard 3.5 mm jack you can use any headset you want.
It's not as "clean" as a pure bt headset, but it's a lot more flexible. It has fm radio as well, a nice addition.
The only downside I found is the touch/pressure/whatever sensitive volume slider is a bit fiddly.
There is supposedly a newer version out, mw600s, but no idea about the changes and/or improvements.

I've used the Motorola S9 and now the S10 bluetooth stereo headsets. The S9 I sent back at least 4 times because sweat gets into the buttons and when you press up or down on them it sticks the contact and acts as if you are holding it down. I finally got out of the warranty period and found that if I put them on the airconditioner return (on the floor) for a few days they work fine. I have to say that the S10 has not had that problem. In both cases, the "in ear" nature of the S9 and S10 do not fit me well. Of course fit is highly subjective so take it for what it's worth.
The S9 had better sound to me than the S10 and was easier to control (when there wasn't sweat behind the buttons). On the S10 I have to really press the buttons hard to activate them. The pads on the end of each side on the S10 came off in the first week. They were stuck on with what is essentially double sided tape. I tried to glue one back on with super glue which just hardened the semi-soft pad into a wrinkled mess. I used a dremel with an abrasive buffer tip to smooth it down.
Finally, the soft ear tips on the S10 come off almost every time I take the headset off. Of course the headset is useless if you loose the tips...well, it works, but is pretty uncomfortable in your ears. The one good experience was that I called Motorola and they sent me a bag of the tips for free. So now I have (I think) 6 pairs, two each of each size. No hassle from customer service. I was ready to pay something, but they just sent them for free.
I'm in the market for some new stereo headphones for the gym. They must be bluetooth, take calls, and have controls on them. The problem is that it's an expensive game of hit or miss on fit and function although I can return them to BestBuy if needed.
It might seem that I'm down on the S9 and S10. In general, I like the way they fit around my neck, I just wish they would nail it instead of staying at about 80%.
Just my 2 cents.
I have a Sennheiser pxc 310, it's a very good device, but the big problem with bluetooth, movie and nexus 7, is the latency between sound and pictures.
I have the galaxy note 2 and there is no such problem, maybe the apt-x codec solve the problem.
Give the LG HBS-700 a shot. I use them for everything from work, to tv, to working out at the gym.
They sound decent and have a decent battery life.
My only gripe with them is that they slip a little when on the bench.

I'm using the LG HBS700 with So Slim Rom and the sound/video is very laggy and choppy over BT. Even when I play local files or ones over the network. I even tried watching a movie on Netflix. If I stop the video and plug in some headphones directly, it works fine. Anyone else have this problem? Might have to try a different Rom.

I have this problem on the stock ROM, if you do some searching apparently it's a common bug introduced recently.
It's pretty disappointing as I got a Jabra clip to make listening while on the treadmill easier and it's just skippy as hell.
I'm using Samsung HS-3000 stereo. It has 3.5mm audio jack which you can swap the earphone for better ones
