Hello everybody!
I bought myself an Incredible S yesterday. Though to my surprise I'm having issues with the bluetooth quality with my stereo handsfree; Sony Ericsson MW600. Whenever I'm at the higher sound levels, every sound is accompanied with a clinging static which is VERY annoying. Now, I have used these stereo hansfrees with numerous other phones; Xperia X10, iPhone 4, Xperia Arc and.... HTC Legend. It worked flawlessly with all of those phones (yes, I've had quite a few phones the last 12 months). And since it worked so great with HTC Legend, one might wonder why it works worse on a phone released almost 12 months later (huge time difference).
I'm going to visit my shop that I bought the unit from. They have a demo unit of the incS. So I hope really badly my phone is DOA.
I had the problem in android 2.2 and now also in 2.3.
Now please, if anyone of you have the MW600 or if you wish to comment, then please do so! I appreciate all the help I can get in this issue. For your information HTC customer support didn't lift a finger to help me. This is all Incredible!
I'm using MW600 aswell and haven't experienced any issues with the sound quality.
It worked fine with Froyo and it is working fine with Gingerbread.
The only issue I have is that the SRS enhancement or presets don't work with the Bluetooth headset.

Very interesting. I just visited my local shop and I tested my MW600 with another incredible S, DHD and Desire S. All of them had the issue. Nevertheless it was again perfect audio when I used the 3.5mm jack. The sound through the MW600 should be identical to the 3.5mm. But it was way of. You should also test your phone. Try listening to music with about 2/3 of sound level and then through the 3.5mm jack. There's a significant difference. Nevertheless I ditche my incS and chose an Xperia Arc. There's no issues with that unit.

All phones with HTC Sense have a poor bluetooth stack implementation. HTC doesn't use the default Android Bluez. They use an old broadcom bluetooth stack.
I'm hoping at least one of these recent Incredible S roms can implement the Bluez bluetooth stack.

Now that explains alot! But it wasn't like this with Legend, and I see people who complain about Desire which was released about the same time. Maybe you should exploit that somehow?
How it yet goes, I will keep my way out of HTC's path with Bluetooth until they fix it.
Hi there, I've been experiencing earpiece problems ever since I bought this phone. It is of my opinion that there's some design problem (or is it my device) about the port.
Earpiece like Beats somehow doesn't get "deep" enough for me to plug it in in order to work. Sometimes I need to twist and turn the end so that it goes deeper so that my music won't get cut off. I'm very confused with it and initially I thought that it was my earpiece problem..
but I tested my earpiece on my friend's Sony Ericsson phone(they have good ports), my computer and it worked like a charm. So im wondering whether I should S-ON my device and go for a service under my warranty to attempt to 'fix' my port or is it just the design that has the damn problem ?
please give your suggestions
have you tried with any other incS?
should not be a problem as all phones will have the same 'mould' during build.
but it is always possible to have a manufacturing defect.
true, on the incS the ear phone port is a little 'out' but it works fine for most.
i would suggest remembering a 'sweet spot' for the headphones & try plugging it there the next time.
or of course, if the vendor is ready to swap it for a new piece & you are really unhappy with this issue you could try
Thanks , it worked fine for most earpieces through , but a little upset that some earpieces can't work on mine .
I always thought that as long as I've a 3.5mm jack in my phone , most earpiece would work , I guess I have to choose those that are with "longer ends" when buying earpieces

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?

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

They're actually HTC earphones which have been made to resemble beats earphones. They're not that bad tbh, miles better than the normal crap HTC usually serve up.

I think there great. I gave my beats that came with it to my kids. I don't get on with beats,don't find them comfortable. Definitely prefer the HTC pair that came with them. Now all I'm waiting for is free wireless PIONEER speakers.

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

think they may be unmarked beats - wish they put a beats mark on them
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

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.

I've posted the AT&T HTC One page where ppl will be ordering from once it goes live. It says it comes with headphones... Don't know if they are the beats or just the normal HTC ones.

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.

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

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.
What ever happened to the microphone issue on this phone? Some time ago, Nokia won an injunction against HTC, and they supposedly were to stop using the microphone in their phone - once the stock HTC had in their warehouse depleted. Is that still the case? Do newer HTC Ones not have the better quality microphones? How is the recording capability in concerts/loud audio environments on the newer HTC Ones?
Do we know if the HTC M8 is going to have a good microphone for recording loud audio?
Does anybody have any idea?
Hi guys I have htc 8s, I have tried couple of headphones on this phone all of them are working expect which came with the phone.htc 8s headphones are working on the other devices with no issue I wanna know that how can I make them work on my htc 8s?

Did you mean to say that "none of them are working" instead of "all of them are working"?
Are you by some chance using iThing headsets? Apple does weird (proprietary and non-standard) things to their headsets. Any headsets which claim to be compatible with Android phones have always worked fine for my (Samsung ATIV S instead of HTC 8S, but they worked on my old HCT HD7 as well).
