Headphones

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 ordered these yesterday. http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/mc2.html

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.

Cheers for the post.
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

Trust me, I could not possibly understand you more on this point.
And don't even get me started on native gapless MP3 playback...

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.

they sell for 120 quid over here so not really viable for me!

[Q] in-hear headphones with volume AND track control

Hi,
I'd like to know if someone knows any earphones (intra-ear) with volume and track controls.
I've seen the a-jays four, but I don't know if they are compatible with android... (http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-four.html)
Thanks everyone for your help !

I don't think that any exist... those are only for the iPhone, as it has a special headphone jack to allow for input such as changing tracks.

the closest i've seen to headset support are on 3rd part apps like PowerAMP

Too bad there's not any accessories "android compliant" like there's like iphone's one... That's the only bad point I find to android ;-)
anyway, SonyErricsson has announced their "livesound" headphones, that seems to be what I need. There's not out yet, but I hope they'll be released soon.
Thanks for your help !

I am using UE 600 vi, the "track control" I have is just single click to pause, and double click to next.

I'm also searching for somthing like this

Searching for one too. I know headset buttons work since I already have a single button headset/mic. Preferably I'm looking for one without headphones (just a jack) so that I can continue to use my current headphones with it.

The Zagg Smartbuds?
Other android users say it works (one click stop/start pick up call, two clicks skip to next, three go back one track), although the volume isn't discrete (it just modifies the volume to the earphones, not the system volume).. I'm just trying to find out if it works with the european version of the Nexus S..

Well if they do work with the i9023 version that would totally make it for me ;-) the volume control, even if not changing the volume of the phone, would be quite ok ;-)
thanks for your help, and hope you'll get me a feedback about the european version... Thanks mate !

Still looking.. maybe someone who knows can say if the foreign models of the i9023 have the same sort of setup..
one ebay site says:
Some foreign smartphones, such as the Samsung i9000, have a unique jack configuration that requires an adapter for use with the ZAGGsmartbuds.

Yeah I've seen that also. Well, I've asked zagg about that, we'll see in a few days if they do know if it's working on i9023 or not... I'll keep you in touch !

The zaggs worked with my evo . All buttons worked. But like someone said only turns down headphones. Which was good enough for me.

urbeats monster by DRE

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.

Yer it definately is not true. He is chatting nonsense claiming the samsung headphones are the only ones which will work.
OP, these work flawlessly with the Note II. Tested on stock rom
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=htc+e240
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

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?

Audio volume through headphones

Are there any 3.5 mm headphones that work with the moto x that can control the volume through a button on the headphones? It's sometimes called a online volume rocker. If so, what brand/model do you have?
I can't seem to get any to work with this phone.

Moving my own post to proper thread.

I don't think it's possible... Most android phones can use only 1 button earphones... Sad.

Sadly, none that I have found. I got a free pair of SOL Jax from Moto, so I'll see if that works. From what I know, only the GS4 supports 3 button earphones, and only the ones that come with it.

Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
A tad bit heavy on wallet, for sure.
But if sound quality is a must, you should definetly check it out

Can't really help you man. Someone in the piston xda forums advised me this converter. I haven't bought it because as you said in the pvt message, chinese suppliers take a looonggg time to dispatch their products. Thus no point. I can't find any converter here in India too. I don't think anyone here sells it.
Anyways let me know if you find something. I'll appreciate it.

Thank you for answering. I've bought a Sennheiser earphones just now! :good::good:

Philips SHE3595 are working too.
Sent from Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen./XT1068/dual-sim)

I recommend Snab Overtone EP-81 M. Controls and mic works, metal body, thick cord and great powerful sound. Deep fully controlled bass, clear treble, mids slightly withdrawn, but still clear. The sound is addictive. I can not imagine ANY other headphones.
But... this is polish product.

Sony MH 750 are working fine, mic, one button.

Are there any 3 buttons headphones + mic compatible? Xiaomi Pistons 2 works but no vol+vol- buttons
Edit: never mind motorola said me thru chat that just one-button remote is supported...

my wife just got these http://www.amazon.com/audio-technica-smartphone-ATH-S100iS-BGR-Black-Green/dp/B00FFKJ3GM for her moto g 2014, one button ops with volume slider.
short press activates the music app, long press activates voice dialling

2 combos!
I suggest you the LG G2 headset with volume command and mic (or Samsung's S5 headphones), but if you have a MOTO 360 you can use Apple's In-ear headphones + play music controls on the wearable! These headsets are wired. You can find on amazon or other places Bluetooth headsets too!
Right now I'm using an Alpatronix HX110 + wearable controls. But in the end you have to decide your combo according to your tastes and your budget!

I also have done this. I was using an iPhone 5 with its earphones. Now with Android phones I'm using these earphones with my Moto 360.
