in-ear earphones

I am thinking of using an in-ear earphones with the Gene.
So, do you guys have any idea of in-ear earphones which work with extUSB (HTC port) or 3.5mm adapter is certainly required?
If 3.5mm adapter is required, then which in-ear earphones would you guys suggest which are not expensive in India (Delhi or elsewhere)...
Thanks

As far as i know you will have to use an adapter.... And about the type of earphone, it is completely upto you about what kind of quality you want and what you dont mind to sacrifice for saving money. There is panasonic, sony, apple etc... You mustve got the point... Any ways im using sony and im quite satisfied .... Got it for a mere 130 bucks

Unfortunately no, impossible because there is no hardware support

Man, I would love to hear back from anybody who succesfully used an external microphone, or somekind of line input option, to record on the HD2. Either using the above suggestions or others...

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.

Have you considered iFrogz EarPollution plugz? They are not very loud but have decent sound.

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.

No i haven't used one but i'd hope it works properly because it's a htc branded device certified for the leo and As far as i can tell it's the same as the one for the touch hd.

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.

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.

[BOUNTY] Note 4 N910W8 Audio distortion problem

Hello everyone, this is my first post here and before I ask my question I have to say thanks to all XDA members for the great help you provided me over the years.
Today my problem is that the sound/music in my Note 4 (TRLTECAN) through the 3.5mm jack plug is really really distorted and by distorted I mean crackling, noisy, not ''listenable''.... Also only the left channel is working.
I already did a lot of search and here is what I did so far :
Tried 3 audio output devices (AKG Q701, Stock earbuds, Harman Kardon SoundstickIII)
Flashed stock firmware from SamMobile with heimdall
Tried Viper4Android on SlimRemix LP 5.1.1
Replaced the jack plug with an OEM brand new one
I carefully cleaned the contacts between the logic board and the replacement jack plug connector
I tested different audio output like bluetooth and usb via the Samsung Multimedia Dock and through my Fiio E17 DAC and all was crystal clear. So now I'm asking you guys if you have ideas... Oh by the way my Knox counter is tripped so no RMA or repair for me... If someone can find a solution for this I'll give money to this/those persons and be extremely grateful !
Thanks in advance !
P.S. I usually write in french so sorry for the bad english.

You can either try 1 of these or use bluetooth headphones.

Thanks for the answer its a great idea but I dont think this can hide the kind of distortion that I talk about. For the bluetooth headphones I dont think the audio quality will met my AKG Q701 specs... And by the way I have my usb DAC for listenning music and its doing great. All I want is to get the jack plug working as it was before without external gadget.

Hello,
I know which distortion you mean, I have that one too. Happened right after updating to 5.1.1. In my case I think that if I were able to downgrade that'd fix it.

I do not have this problem so I can not help other then some advice. Have you tried cleaning, it tuner spray or something like that, also if your technically inclined you can order a new one and replace it or if its still under warranty odin it back to stock. And take it in as its a hardware problem not software they should honor it I have never had to take mine apart so I'm not sure how difficult it would be anyways here is a list from ebay http://www.ebay.ca/sch/Cell-Phone-Smartphone-Parts-/43304/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=note+4+earphone+jack. Here is a video on how to take it apart if you watch the video you will notice the headphone jack is mounted to the back and uses a touch connection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZND9Q73wjr8
