Headphone jack problem? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I plug my beats headphones in (the ones coming with the One), it doesn't seem like they're plugged in correctly. Like if I twist or turn the headphones jack a bit, I get a crackling/distorted sound, but the headphones are plugged in as far as they can go. I even tried applying some force but they're as far in as they can go.

Sound faulty to me mate, do they work fine in any other device like an mp3 player or another phone? Worth checking ... to see if it's the phones or the phone lol

Tried them in another phone and it seems it's the same. The headphones don't seem to wanna plug in correctly. I tried a few other headsets on the One and they all connect as they should?
Why can't phone makers make completely flat jacks?

Lol who knows mate. My biggest gripe with the headphone jack on the one is that it's at the top. It should be at the bottom, that way when I take my phone out of my pocket, the screen is the right way up and facing me instead of it being the opposite.

I don't really care if the jack is at the top or the bottom as long as it's on the top or bottom and not on any of the sides.

Most definitely, and I completely abhor phones which have the charging ports on the sides.

I think you could probably change them at you're local dealer. It sounds like they won't do it in any case.
Also the headphone are not beats. You mean the in-ear headphones?

I think it could be that these are beats headphones. Anyone knows that HTC has an big deal with beats. Do they sound good? I haven't used mine yet because I have an AKG over ear headphones, which sounds very good.

I'd bet money on the earphones being Beats, just unbranded ones ... I have used mine and compared to some Sony ones, which I paid about 70 squid for, they sound every bit as good, if not better ... Fact is, Beats or not, they sound very good and are by far, the best earphones I've ever received with a phone, or mp3 player for that matter.

Okay that's really good. I came from iPhone and the earphones there are really bad. Only the new ones from the iPhone 5 are sounding a bit better. Since i'm using my over ears AKG headphones I think I can use the in ear from HTC for sports etc...

The jack isn't the issue, because other headphones work well. It seems to be the headphone pin. The thing you insert into the jack.

The iPhone 5 was my previous phone after my Xperia Ray so when I traded up to my One (the mere suggestion of anything bettering an iPhone would have fanboys abusing me about now) I decided to keep the Apple Pods as they call them lol but tbh they are nothing special, certainly not as good as the ones with the One, my opinion of course but I do consider myself somewhat of an Audiophile. :laugh:

Yes, that's what I meant - the jack/plug on the headphones, not the socket on the phone handset.

But the new "earpods" are slightly better than the old ones until the iphone 4s. But I'm not an audiophile like you. I would use those in ear headphones only for sports or somewhat. At home I'm using an over ear headphone from akg because they are much more comfortable and sounds better for me.

It is normal if you use regular headphones, gold plated jacks eliminate this issue.

While the headphones aren't bad they probably aren't beats. they are built very cheaply and are not anywhere as bass heavy as beats would be. Mine died about a week after using them with computer.

NEED Suggestion In-Ear Headphone with MIC

Hi All,
Yesterday I lost my HTC HD2 default headphone and now i'm seeking for good not so expensive in-ear headphone with mic.
Price better to <50 or =<30
Thanks for your advance and suggestions.
P.S I don't like default HTC HD2's default headphone because they are painful when using for a while and not comfortable for running.

WOW prices are high, headphone with mic models are starting from 40$ what product do you have from this brand?
did you look at somewhere like expansys? i'm pretty sure they do a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm female cable with a mic build in. Then you can buy any headphones you like.

i got the superFi. 5 pros, they are not on the list anymore.. but were the second best universals >.<! just have them without the mic. i dont need that
i just love the quality of ultimate ears, its so awsome..
soon im ordering my customs UE 18 pro )))
im a stupid audiophile u know >.<
I m using a combination for this. Earphone form Creative EP630/830, an OLD XDA II volume controller & the normal 3.5 jack. It is much better as i can control the volume, can change the next song or FM channel by Red call dissconnect button, play/pause and receive call by green button. So its become very handy no need to pull out the phone. also EP630/830 delivers very good base at $8 only.

There are two types with and without mic. I've got one with mic. It cost 15 euros 7 months ago, but i think there was some kind of discount.
I know this link is a british shop but these are the headphones i have : http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...hone-3G-3GS/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&fb=0
They are great if you are on a budget and although they say they are for the iphone they work perfectly well on the hd2. The sound quality is great and the button on them functions to answer/hangup a call and also it functions as a play/pause button fo the htc music tab.
Sennheiser produce excellent quality stereo in ear handsets with inline control and Mic. They are in the upper price range though
But if you're stuck with little options as I was yesterday the Apple iPhone ones work if you don't mind putting up with sub par quality
The inline control doesn't work with my HD2

Could you tell us if all buttons (hang, paly pause next...) and volume control are working with HD2 ?
Is it for the Zaggsmartbuds ?
Thanks
If you're handy with a soldering iron you could mod your own.

I put cheap £12 Skullcandy on my HD2 headset and it works great! In-built mic works, play/pause & track skip works too.
ultimatears, then etymotic.

Thoughts on the stock headset?

This is my second "not" high end device from Samsung and once again I have been thoroughly impressed with the headset.
As far as mouthpieces go, it's adequate and works well. Could do with a few more controls etc.
I think the headphones themselves are what really stood out for me.
Whilst they're not Shure headphones at any rate, they are very good for stock. Better than HTCs and a lot more comfortable. They appear to handle a substantial amount of low end before the audio distorts and the dynamics are awesome!
What do you guys think?

I feel scammed, no extra cover nor headset.
For you people who did not receive headset and extra backcover:
It depends on which region you buy it!
I bought mine in Asia (HK) and didnt get any extra covers, but a headset was included.
If I had not experienced using the headphones myself i would really get the wrong idea from reading the first post. It's not that great (imo), the mic is alright though.

So Hi everyone, I'm new on the forum.
I buy Galaxy Ace two weeks ago and the box didn't have headphones. The man in the mobile shop gave me headphones with earbuds (rubbers) ..headphones like on SGS "GENUINE Samsung S5830 GALAXY ACE STEREO Headset Handsfree Headphones with Microphone"
Tried them in my Ace and the music sound was distorted, vocals seem far away/distant. ..Later, I tried them in Sony Ericsson X8...the sound was perfectly clear! Why? :|
Any help/thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Could be to do with your headphone input on your device. Try the headset on other devices/iPod etc. If it works, then it could be the phone.

Very surprise that you said the stock headset is quite good to use. I never open the plastic bag to take it out...! I use Senheiser's instead.
Will try it this evening.
I believe any headset would work as long as it has three insulating rings (white ones in the audio plug) similar to the factory stock.
the stock headset is just too much trebble.......
i hate it.....
i think 3$ headset is better.....
I bought one is Sri Lanka and it came with headsets and a spare back panel. But the headset in my opinion is not so great. may be there's a regional variation in that as well.
Although I like the stock headset, using even slightly better headphones shows a substantial increase in sound quality =S

I bought mine here in Italy ad it came with earphones + 2 back covers. it also came with both a usb cable and a charger.
The earphones (the are in the short left cable and long right cable configuration) are not that comfortable and the "mic thing" is that big that they should at least have added a volume control in it.
bought my ace form Germany and didnt get headphones,luckily i still got headphones from my old LG

I have iBeats, they're great but you have to have the right equalizer... With stock htc beats EQ the sound is not that good. With DSP-Manager it's frickin awesome! But without DSP it's just a normal pair of headphones not worth 100€... They can handle a lot of bass and that's the way they should be used
You should give beats products a miss. They are like apple, but in the audio world (as in too expensive for what it is). If you really want a good pair of earphones, visit head-fi.org and read some reviews there.
It mainly depends on what you want from your earphones/headphones, and your budget. If you want extremely high bass, I think the monster turbine series are worth a look.
If you want to impress people, though, get beats.

I guess people are so against beats because they are pretty expensive. Of course there are some cheaper alternatives, but I don't know... Beats are kinda cool And the fact that the sound is bad is just a rumour that spread through the net and people just took it without trying them themselves. I also reeeaaally love the sound! The only thing that borders me, is that my left ear apperently as a too weird shape to keep these things in there where they should

Some could be fake, but the general rule is, the more expensive they are, the higher quality their sound is. The most expensive beats headphones are supposed to have the least bass.

Headphones - Unbranded beats?

So,
I've been putting my One to use today with it accompanying me on an internal flight in the UK.
Instead of using my SoundMagic earphones I decided to travel with the ones included and well, the audio quality is amazing, and a fair bit better than my usual headphones.
My question is, are they unbranded beats or just some decent unknown headphones by HTC?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Possibility is they take advices from Beats or have them monitor the engineering of the headsets.
Hox earphones are great too but I dislike them because they are on ear despite loving the flat cables. If One's earphones is that great. I might ditch my Sony in ears

I agree, i had a pair of beats that came with my sensation and they were uncomfortable. The head phones that come included with the ONE are pleasant to wear and produce top notch sound quality for a stock pair of earphones. Well done HTC:good:
I compared with my Bose, urbeats, HTC's which is comes in box, galaxy S2 & S3 headphone and found that supplied standard headphone is best one and I found no different between urbeats and supplied one so I can sell my urbeats
But Urbets has a better grip in-ear

If the stock headphones are as good as people say, that is tremendous news. HTC should promote that fact harder, and consumers won't have to spend an extra £30 to £50, on getting decent sound quality.
I have to agree. Sound better than my klipsch s4 with the bonus of added button and tangle free cord. Will compare to my sound magics in a bit
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Put mine in for the first time today. The headphones are fantastic! So surprised by exactly how good they are. They rival the beats easily. There's no need to purchase another pair of in ears in my opinion. They are excellent headphones and tangle free to boot!

I'm wondering if the US carrier branded versions of these phones will come with the headsets as well. I haven't received a set of headphones with my phone since the Touch Pro. I'm sure it's probably under the carrier's discretion, but it'd be nice to have them stateside.
Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

Pretty sure normal ones. The red ear tips ones that comes bundled with One. HTC stopped bundling beats earphones awhile back.

I wish they had volume controls.
They do look like 'Unmarked Beats', however, i saw a little rumour the other day telling me that they were actually made in the same factory, by the same Manufacturer / Supplier as Beats. I may be wrong, but he is quite high up in the Mobile Industry. . .
Not a chance these are unbranded beats, take it from an owner of that many ear/ head phones including beats tours and urbeats the bundled earphones are so far away from even urbeats in terms of sound quality they are like black and white. The earphones are very good for bundled but so far from any idea of audio clarity seen in beats earphones, anyone owning a set of tours will tell the same after hearing the bundled set.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
what i dont get is why they dont have track controls like most bundled earphones?
im assuming the button will play / pause music and answer / end calls only? ive not actually used them yet
I have now tried a couple of the earphones and a couple off apps to allow for music control from the mic button presses on the earphones, but have not managed to get the HTC one skip track, let alone change volume.
Therefore I am thinking maybe the phone itself may be the issue (it always re-dials the last called when I double tap the button on the earphones)
Anyone had success with any earphones on the HTC one? (please don't comment if you have used a different HTC phone, as this problem may be HTC specific) if so, please help with specific details.
Thanks

Imo I think the earphones are the best iv had with a phone but still a pile of #### the bass is simply way to saturated and lacks any replication of real bass sounds I.e. a bass drum or kick doesn't sound anything like a real kick, my cx300 2's and even beats tours are ey way better then the stock included ear phones however massively better then any other included and as good as ear pods by apple.

I have the UR Beats as well for comparison. I agree that the standard headphones are weaker when reproducing bass, but otherwise the clarity and overall quality of sound reproduction is very good. If you travelling on public transport etc the free headset is actually a good option.

Apple Earphones not working properly on SGS1

Sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question, but as the title says, my Apple earphones aren't clear on my s1. Plz don't say just buy beats or other earphones because the Apple ones are the most comfortable to me. When I use the apple earphones the sound quality is a bit weird, while other earphones work fine. If there is anyway to fix this problem I will be glad to hear.
Thanks.

Try this thing, while playing music, press and hold answer button on your headset, sound should become clear.
This is a well known hardware problem, it's that apple and samsung manufacture headphones jacks using different connection layout. That way headset mics do not work properly by different manufacturer. Usually, when you buying headset, it defines "iphone, htc compatible" or "samsung, nokia compatible" (not sure about specific phone manufacturer). I also have one philips headset which came with simple 3.5 female to 3.5 male adapter, to work with both connection types.
Moreover SGS1 has tv-out through the same headphones jack, this way it's more messed up, and even the sound does not work properly.
I guess your only option would be buying some adapter, seen several on ebay, specifically designed for sgs1, but I could not tell whether they do what it says.
