The Motorola Bluetooth ones work.

I would expect bluetooth to work. The interface is entirely different.
I guess I was just spoiled with the setup that came with my Nokia N97. The wired headset allowed you to use whichever 3.5mm jack headphones you wanted, and had controls for volume, next & previous, pause/play, stop, and phone answer/hangup. Plus a lockout switch, microphone, and antenna for FM radio with RDS. When I tried it on the Captivate, I had sound, but it was very hollow and about half as loud.
I also learned that when you unplug the headphones, the music automatically pauses and the virtual 5.1 surround, if enabled, is disabled and has to be selected again after connecting the headphones.
I do like the design of the stock Captivate wired headset, but the low end frequency response just isn't there. Seems like anything below 150hz is inaudible. I'm still using the earbuds that came with my Pioneer Inno portable XM radio and they're my reference by which I judge all other earbuds. I'm not sure what company made them (maybe Pioneer?) but they are the best ones I've used yet. Granted, I haven't tried anything from Shure, Bose, or the like.
I've been using my Ultimate Ears TF10vi, and the play/plause button works just fine but they have no volume control, so can't comment on that specifically.
I also haven't tried to use the mic yet, so I don't know if that works or not - I heard the Galaxy S had some weird issue with the wiring that made it incompatible, but haven't tested with the Captivate.
I am very surprised that the ones provided by Samsung didn't provide a volume control..
I am too. The volume rocker still works while playing and the screen is locked.

Tested my iPhone's headphone... only play/pause works and I was surprised it did!
Does anyone think the Skullcandy 50/50 earphones would work?
I have skull candy and no go on the volume control. I think it's just not supported.

Ok so what model do you guys each have

I bought these yesterday on a whim

All buttons work, and the sound is actually good.
Looking at them i was like "" then I was "" after seeing the price.
I figured what the heck and got them, figuring i could return them.
After using them for awhile, I give them "".
If you have a big head, these probably will not be what you want.
I am in no way a fan of the box club, but the price is right.
I've been using my wife's that came with her HTC Aria and they have play/pause and forward and backward buttons on them and none of them work.
On a side note, I hate the in-ear headphones, anybody know of a good pair that sit on the outside of your ear, like the old iphone ones?

The stock Blackberry headphones work. No volume control on them. Just one button. It works for calls and music and it's not in-ear.
Here it is on the Android Central store. Nevermind... Can't post links yet apparently. Go to the Android Central store and click on the Captivate and take a look at the headsets.

NO, DON'T! IF YOU TRY TO USE THEM THEY WILL EXPLODE IN UR EARS!
But seriously, they will work fine. If they have an inline button it will even control your media apps.
If it works with an iOS device or Blackberry, and is the standard headphone jack (ie, not a headset jack) size, then it'll work.
</thread>
Yes they will work (using it now)but test them before buying as apple has started putting drm chip in some of them making it so you can't use mic /button on non apple hardware (I found that's true in some non apple brand ones too) and had a pair that didn't work with mine

i bought a pair of the klipsch s4i headphones. the play/pause button works, but not the volume up down buttons. the headphones rock, though. and, the mic on them works fine and dandy. i'd give 4/5 stars (only taking one off for the aforementioned volume up down problems) for the evo. they're designed for iphone, is why some button incompatibility.
they sound great though. i love them.
+1 on the Skullcandy fmj's, probably one the better sets of headphones I've used. Wear them all them while on my bike, great sound, blocks some of the sound of my loud pipes. I'd highly recommend them.

I think that the Evo just doesn't have any support for volume up/down. The mic and play/pause button are non-Apple standards (they existed before the iPhone was announced) but AFAIK the volume control is Apple specific.
Has anyone had any issues with wired headsets? Which model is working the best? I know a friend that has gone through 2 of them already and said that he couldn't answer phone calls, and the mic didn't work.

No it does not use bluetooth, we are talking about wired headsets.
RF3 and airtube
As a side note, has anyone ever tried the RF3 Airtube headsets? I think Life Blue Tube and ENVi are the two brands. They are supposed to reduce radiation, but I can't really find a review anywhere, to see if they actually work as headsets.
I have a pair of Apple hands free cord headset that I use to use with my DInc with no problems, but they won't work with the TBolt...people on the other end can't hear me. Somebody please help or recommend a good pair that does work. Thanks

I have a pair of sennheiser ie8i and klipsch 10xi, which the mic worked fine on my evo. now neither mic wants to work on the my thunderbolt. Does anybody know what they changed? The little icon comes on that shows the microphone but they don't work.
I got the same issue with my Monster Turbine with Control Talk. No mic, but they worked great on my Dinc.
Need to find something too, but leaning towards the Bose.

HTC in their infinite wisdom disabled the microphones if anything is plugged into the headphone jack, this is the first time they have done this. I hope a developer can pull the right code from another HTC phone to get this to work.

I had to use an old shure cable that has a built in mic and button to get it to work, strange thing is the connectors are exactly the same the only difference is my headphone have the extra volume button and the shure doesn't.
I just get cheap $10 earphones, cause im so ruff on them. I tend to tear them up alot or wash them in the washing machine sometime too
I just use a set of Ozone "noise cancelling" headphones with a Mic built in. I am not a fan of how it feels in my ear but the Mic works and is clear. Only thing is it seems flimsy and its 20 bucks at best buy.

Does anyone know of a headphone adapter with control buttons on it that works with the galaxy note?
I want to be able to skip tracks and change volume while jogging.

I have seen plenty advertised as working with iphones, but nothing specifically for android.

After a bit more research i have gone for the jabra bt3030. It seems bluetooth is the better option as the controls are standardised.

In general, the headphone with mic and controllers branded "for iphone" work also for android. Of course, it is a bit risky.

you can try the Sony Ericsson MW 600 bluetooth, it does what you are asking for and can work with any headphones.
Unfortunately reliability is a little suspect, after a few months of use mine quite simply... died
SE MW600 works great. Been using it since my Galaxy S days 2 years ago.

QFT. Having previously wired custom iphone headsets (and seen other posts regarding it), they will not work on android.
Buy a single-button iphone headset and Headphone Control (or jays headphone app) from the market.
Seriously though, the DAC on the GNote is bad enough that the Bluetooth audio was really not much worse than the headphone out. And I'm an audiophile
Finally please be aware that even though headsets will be marketed as compatible with both only the center button will work. You need Android specific volume controls
Maybe this is not answer you looking for,
But i'm using Poweramp apps and i can use gnote included headset's buttons to control volume, skip track or stop player.
any of the bluetooth solutions work well. I have the sony MW600 and also a pair of sennheiser BT headphones and both have headphone based volume, as well as buttons for pause, fwd, rewind.
just keep the device on max vol and adjust your headphone volume with the buttons.
there is also the new apt-x samsung dongle (hs3000? 300?) but unfortunately the note doesnt support apt-x (yet?)
Jabra BT3030
I use the above mentioned Jabra and it works like a charm...
Thanks everyone for your advice. The jabra bt3030 arrived today (25 euros delivered on ebay in Spain). Just went out for my first jog with it and it worked perfectly. The great thing about this solution is I can use the headphones of my choice.

I used the headset came with the iphone, but mic doesn't work, does anyone have the same problem?
I'm using a set of etymotic headphones designed for iphones and my mic doesn't work either. I think there is a small converter you can plug in between the phone and the headset that should make it work, but I don't need to use the mic and haven't really looked into it.

Same problem. It seems that headphones with the 3 button apple control do not work (mic + buttons except for the center button sometimes) and they don't even allow the phone's microphone to work while plugged in. I have used apple headphones and klipsch image s4i's.
The center button works fine for me. It's the only one that does. Using CM9, not sure if that makes any difference.
I use Klipsch Image S4A
best headphone for me so far
klipsch s4a
I had the intention of picking up the klipsch s4i when i was in bestbuy. The one i never go to happened to have the s4a which i did not know about. I've only had them a few hours but the main issue is finding a working remote, install the klipsch app and you can customize what the buttons do! Amazing headphones once again from klipsch, worth every bit of $45 premium sound and a android compatible remote with mic. I highly recommend them.

You have no idea how WRONG you are.
Galaxy S 3 is one the most picky phones I've ever owned, it's almost as bad as the worst phone ever - LG Nitro HD.
Just go to your local RadioShack and ask them to test all available headsets, see how many of them will be 100% working (sound, mic, music and phone calls). I'll bet at least half of them will only work for music, some will work for phone calls only when plugged in AFTER call was established. Not to mention remote buttons...(I've done just that with 5 headsets they had that could be re-packaged, only one worked)
This is ridiculous. I've already contacted Samsung regarding this, they politely asked me to piss off. The SkullCandy headphone manufacturer also said "bad luck, come again".
Now using piece of sh.t off brand headset, which works perfectly, but with terrible sound.
SkullCandy FIX don't work, however "fake" SkullCandy FIX (black and white with only one button) work fine, but they lasted 1 week before wire broke.
Wired Headset with Microphone
You may want to try Klipsch s4A. It is especially made for Android phones.

I'm using Skullcandy's FMJ on my S3. It has a one button mic and I am able to answer calls and end calls with it. Also when not used for calls, pressing it once will play the music player, pressing it twice would play the next song but I can't go back to the previous song though. Pretty much good for me already.
Erm, yeah same here.... Had the basic skull candy ink set, and now a similar set. Both have worked perfectly..... Cheap too at a tenner a pair.....

I am using the Sony XBA-2VP at the moment (right in the middle of Sony's line of balanced armature IEMs). The mike works well on calls as well as with Power Amp.
Wish Sony would release the XBA-3 or XBA-4 for Android (as they have for the iPhone)....
Kind regards
So far everyone who say this and that works fine, refer only to these in-ear type headsets. What about normal buds type, that don't go inside the ear?
