I know I saw a link before of the htc earphones on amazon but I wanted to get some more people's input. What are the best quality earphones for the evo with all the right controls?

i have the HTC ones from amazon. i can't stand them.
the only other ones i know of are the zagg smart buds.
mine should be here monday. i hear they are pretty good.
the volume control isn't digital, but it's the best i could find to work with the evo.
i believe today is the last day they are on sale if you are interested. they are regularly $80, but are down to $50. use the coupon code holiday40 to make them $30.

I see, cause I do workout and stuff so I don't want something that still always fall out.

i use older ipod touch headphones the ones with the mic and buttons. the buttons dont function with the evo but there loud crisp and awesome. gf doesnt know im using them

Lol I loved those the best if only they could work that way.

holiday40 code did not work

I have these:
Altec Lansing UHS306 SnugFit Earphones with Microphone
All of the controls work properly, but I'm not really impressed with the sound quality or the build quality. They are OK, but not great.
Also, I snagged them from Buy.com for $9.99, and feel they were worth that price, but would have felt ripped off @ $90.

Just go with the Ultimate Ears. They are awesome.

Do they have a pause button?

Also you guys should try this app: RemoteControl for Earphones
This app enables remote control operation like iPod.

I use Klipsh Image s4 (amazing earphones, voted best by many sites) and it has no buttons, but the Klipsh Image s4a (android version of s4) are suppose to have andrdoid controls. here's the link http://www.klipsch.com/image-S4A-headphones

picked up these skull candy fmj which dont have volume control but do have play pause next track and previous track but its button pushes not seperate buttons aka one pause two for next three for prev...
but has a mic too which is really nice for phone calls actually dont even put my phone up to my ear around the house i'll usually grab them and plug them in and then answer
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/full-metal-jacket
i recommend checking out amazon too i picked them up for 25 bucks over the 70 dollar retail
and they are metal so they are pretty tough
i have had shures seinheissers, and monsters and these sound honestly just as good as those for being much cheaper (if on sale i guess )

Headphones with full controls?

I hope someone here can help...
I know there are quite a few topics about headphones around, but i am looking for something specific and i am having no luck.
basically i am looking for 3.5' earbuds for the evo with mic/controls(pick/hang up, skip, back) AND volume controls.
it seems almost impossible to find any with both of these things. it's like you have to choose either one or the other.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Doubt this will help all too much, but...
My headphones that came with my Palm Pre (single in-line button) are what I generally use if I'm not using my stereo bluetooth head set.
I use Mixing media player as I find the stock music player lacks button functionality (unless I'm just dumb and don't know how to use it).
One click, pause music. Two clicks, advance track. Three clicks, previous track/ restart track.
If while wearing just standard click to answer phone call.
I like the sound quality from the headphones, provides nice highs and lows.
http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s...=headsets&product_code=FB298AA#AC3&catLevel=2
I would however, like a better set of headphones and I continue to look lol more designed with HTC in mind.
well i finally found what i was looking for after many hours of searching...
HTC Wired Remote Control Stereo Headset
that real kicker is that they don't work for the evo. doesn't make sense to me...
It makes the most sense that they are not compatible for the EVO... What'chu talkin'bout?!? lol
But seriously, wtf is up with that? lol
THIS is what you need to be getting.

i'm really disliking the ones i got, but i guess that's what you get for $10.
I use the ALTEC Lansing backbeat 903 headset which has buttons for play, pause, stop, forward, reverse, answer/end and volume. Works fine for my movies and music. They are blue-tooth and last about 6 hours of continues use watching movies or listening to music. last a few days if I turn them off between calls. I love them.

Seconded man... I like how yours are yellow accented (or is that just a design mock up?).
Are you noticing any odd fitment after using them though? Like my right ear phone thing will not stay put.

That was just a pic off the net but mine look exactly like those.
They fit fine still for me but I did loose one of the ear pices once, called them up and they sent me 2 new sets for free.

headphones with play/fwd/rev replacements?

Are there any options to replace the stock headphones with something more comfortable? I'm looking for in-ear style headphones with the play/fwd/rev buttons. What are my options? All I can seem to find are ones with only a mic. I don't need that.
I just ordered the Jbuds J3m's. Lets see if they do the trick.
Let us know if they do. I am looking for some replacement too. Thanks in advance!
will do. Mine factory ones are falling apart on me. I noticed it today. Ill be very happy if these headphones work out!
the headphone came in. They're currently being broken in per the instructions. They sound pretty good. Only thing that I can say I don't like is that when I try to go back a track and try to click accordingly (3 rapid clicks) it skips forward and then pauses the next track. You must have to go pretty fast!!
Shipping was amazing!! I ordered them on the 6th and got them today (7/8)
If your willing to drop some decent cash you could go on eBay and order some klipsch s4's I just ordered em they're 55.00-60.00 and well worth it

how do the fwd and reverse functions work?
You talkin fast forward or skip? Skip you just click once and it goes to next song and ffw you hold the button but sometimes if you let go it'll skip

I use the "old" version of the Ultimate Ears 600vi (previously known as the UE super.fi 5 rev. B). I am thinking about replacing them with actual UE 600vi, since they add the skip/ffw/rev controls and a right-angle plug with actual strain relief.
I'm always so worried this plug will end up going dead in a channel...

My only complaint is that it is difficult to go to the previous track.
hi there. i used to have a g2 and i used the sony dr-ex14( it even has a volume button) using poweramp to change to prev and next track. but since i switch to mt4g slide it's a pain in the a*s. everytime i double click to the next track it redials. and it's so annoying. do any of you guys know how to turn this feature off on the phone. i wish i could just double and tripple click to switch song as my g3 used to do.
thanks in avance.
i dont mean to double post but i cant delete this post.

[Q] HTC Rhyme Headphones?

Does anyone know where to get them???
I have the OEM black headphones from Amazon for 4 dollars. I love them because they have the music controls.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Stereo-He...KQ/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1318741565&sr=8-10
I just wish that they were noise insulating, instead of the old school type.
The headphones for the Rhyme are noise insulating and they have the music controls on them. So do the YourBeats for the Sensation XL... but those i'd expect will be over $100 once released. This is why im looking to get the Rhyme ones.
Plus the cord is rectangular... so its less tangleable.
Anyone knows where to find this?
Here is what they look like:

I am looking for these as well. I even hacked together a pair of Skull candy head phones with the EVO controls. Not even remotely close to great sound quality. I want these so bad! I have been searching for a part number. I will post it if I find it. And whats the sound quality on these guys? I haven't seen a review of this yet.
Just dispatched or attempted to send an email to HTC corp who doesn't even list the HTC rhyme as a device on their page
Quick google search showed these: HTC Rhyme 3.5mm Wired Headset with Flat Cable
WTF!

Sir, you are my hero until the end of the business week
i know i'm picky but i want those too, but the purple ones. My girlfriend has the inspire and i would love to give these to her since her favorite color is purple and she's been wanting a pair of official htc headphones with controls since i showed her that they weren't included, lol
HTC Rhyme Purple Headphones
You can get them at No More Rack for $8.00 plus shipping.
My girlfriend has a Rhyme and I just do not like the way those headphones feel in my ears. Just something about them that doesn't feel right. The Rhyme is a beast of a device btw. All stock, doesn't lag, she has never had an issues plus she drops it almost everyday and it is still going strong.

[Q] looking for quality wired headset with inline mic

Like the title says, I'm using this one right now:
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Pr..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1327906766&sr=1-5
Everything works as it should, but the sound quality when listing to music sounds like a cheap 1.99 pair of headphones. I am an audiophile when it comes to sound quality especially with headphones, this particular pair is unbearable.
Can anyone recommend a pair for under $50 that has quality sound? I really like the convenience of the inline mic and the call button. It works well with Vlingo too.
I too would like confirmation on which headsets work for our phones. My previous phone (Epic 4G) would not work with several different headphones with mic. More specifically the buttons did not behave as you would want them to. For example: music controls, volume controls, voice control, etc. I have tried Bose headphones(AE2i and Quietcomfort 3) and earphones(MIE2i), Klipsch S4i, and several skullcandies. None of the inline buttons worked for the Epic 4G and I'm afraid these iDevice headphones will not work for my E4GT as well.
Instead of making a new thread, let me just ask here:
Is there anyway to hack/mod or phones to recognize the inline buttons? I'm not familiar with how an iDevice interprets these commands, so it may be completely out of the question, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Those do look nice though. The thing is, like the Body Glove ones they use words like "premium" and "high quality" and a big WTF/Facepalm when you actually get to use them. I don't want to get suckered again so I want to get some recommended ones.
Ya know, maybe of I could just find the cord with a mic and button with the 3.5mm jack I can put my own headphones on that would be a great option too, I'd need a confirmation that it works with our phones though.

Nice Headphones noisehush

Hey guys I wanted to share this headphones I got off Ebay. I have the ibeats but one ear bud broke so I wanted to find a cheaper alternative. And after hours of online searching I came across this nice headphones. I was very surprised that when I put them on they were actually louder than the beats headphones and the sound was almost exactly the same.
Here are some pictures of them.
The NX80

Took the seller about a week and a half for the earbuds to get here. But the packaging was nice and seal.
The headphones have an inline Mic and one button that works great and with headset Droid app. Is perfect.
Again I actually like the sound better on this headphones then my beats.
I'm in no way shape or form associated with noisehush.
Just wanted to share. And feel free to ask any questions.
Edit: I forgot to tell you guys some of the features about them.
Jack is gold plated 3.5mm
Rated power 2mw-10mw
Frequency range 20Hz-20kHz
Cable length 3.9 feet
Impedance 16 ohms
sensitivity 96dB/1mW
Driver unit 8mm
The cable is tangle free. Made of some kind of rubber. Feels kinda sticky to the skin. But I'm very happy with them overall.

so how much did you pick them up for? I work as technician for sprint and we sell them at my store fir $60, my discount can get me them for $13 so im tempted to pick a pair up. my coworker claims the sound quality it crappy but that is his opinion, so i guess my question to you is, would you recommend i pick up a pair vs a pair of dre beats? thanks in advance
