So, this may have been asked in other Android forums, but I would like to ask, since my N1 and GT10 seem to show different behaviors.
I have a set of Sony earbuds that were "iphone/ipad compatible." They work fine on my Nexus 1, both the sound as well as the microphone, though of course, I couldn't use the music controls. But with my Galaxy Tab, the sound works, but the mic doesn't. I can't make skype or Groove IP calls with my Sony earbuds cause the mic doesn't seem to be compatible.
Why is it fine with N1 but not with GT10, even though both are android gadgets? I dislike the Samsung earbuds, so could anyone recommend a quality earbud that would be compatible with a N1 and GT10?

Hey guys,
Don't know if you noticed but the Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global are having some hands-free headphone problems. It seems that they don't play nice with certain headsets that plug into the 3.5 mm jack.
Most, if not all, of these headset were designed for the Iphone/Itouch. For example, I have the Klipsch Image s4i's, which work stunningly with my Itouch; however, the mic doesn't work with my Droid 2 Global and the volume up/down and center button don't act as they normally should.
I'm not exactly sure why, but I've tested many different headsets to make sure it wasn't my Klipsch headphones' fault. After searching other forums as well, it seems that other people are having this problem, but posters normally reply with "well, my 'such and such' headphones and mic work fine, it must be your phone" and they just shrug off the question.
I'm pretty sure this is a legitimate problem with the phone. Anybody have any idea how to fix this problem? I feel that there has to be someway to program the input from the mic and buttons to work with the Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global hardware.
I don't use wired headsets so I have no idea.
I don't think the iphone/ipod earphone's control is compatible with Droid. I've tried Apple MA850 and an phone-compatible in-ear headset from Denon, none of their control works
I'm still looking for better in-ear headset that works with Droid, any clue will be appreciated!
Ok, I searched and found nothing.
So I have some plantroincs 3.5mm headphones with mic and controller sitting in a box next to me. My main concern is the mic going to work with the epic 4g so I can use it while driving.
The controls would be sweet, but I'm assuming since about everything is made for ipod that will be a no go. I'm just not familiar with Samsung 3.5mm polarity and wasn't sure if they used a proprietary setup.
They use a standard setup. It will work.
try these, I like them, pretty good bass and decent mic

Anyone know of any high end headphones with mic that will work with the Epic? something like the klipsch s4i? From my experience every headset that says made for iPhone doesn't work (the mic) on the Epic.
They do work on a nexus one though. And the stock headphone/w mic that comes with the epic works fine on a iphone/ipad . whats going on??
I have a set of Ultimate Ears 500vi, with a mic and remote.
Part of the remote works, but no such luck with the mic.
Any ideas on some adapter I might be able to buy to make the mic work?
More importantly, does anyone know WHY the mic on iphone headsets doesn't work with Android devices?
If I can figure out why it doesn't work, I can make a custom PCB to adapt it...

There's something about how the headset is made that dictates whether it will be able to function on some android phones, the OEM headsets have controls, but others don't always work. Try the OEM headset on iphone, if it doesn't work that means the mic/control implementation is different and can't be recognized by certain boards. I was gonna buy some better headphones like beats or maybe sennheisers, but fear the controls won't work.
I am pretty sure the MIC and GRND leads are reversed in the iPhone headsets. Also, Apple uses a chip in the remote to signal the phone; HTC uses resistors of a known value in series across the MIC and GRND leads.
You can disassemble the stock HTC headset and replace the earbuds with a standard 3.5mm jack for alternative headphones.
Everybody looking for good headsets, I strongly advise to try the Logitech Ultimate Ears Superfi 5vi. They're fully compatible with Android and are studio quality. Downloading PowerAmp is a plus.

i'd take a guess and say its just the brand? /: i had sony in ear headphones with a mic that was supposed to be for the iphone that worked on my mytouch 4g, but the sound quality was pretty choppy, dont know whether it was the product itself or if it was a compatibility issue.
I posted a thread about my Jlab headphones. I lost them, so I have tried various others. Schosches didn't work. Skullcandy's seem to be doing well, but aren't as clear and crisp as my Jlabs. I plan on ordering another pair.
Samsung 3.5 mm Premium Stereo Headset Bulk Packaging - Black
These are awesome. I have bought multiple pairs for about $5 on amazon.com. They have and in line mic with controls, soft clear ear buds with extras in different sizes and they hold up well even with being thrown loose into my purse regularly.
For anyone who's curious, my Dr Dre Beats Solo HD work great with PowerAMP as a music player. Unfortunately, the mic doesn't work...so that's a bummer...
I'm using the Panache which is essentially the same phone. Quote disappointed because the mic was working great with the Nexus One. Also works on my cousins GS2...and of course works on iPhones.
Looks like ICS will support DAC (it does on Galaxy Nexus anyways), but will it support USB headsets (i.e. the microphone)?
Anybody knows?
I wouldn't know... but I was wondering why you'd want such a thing? You can use the headphone jack to run a mic in (I even use it with RTA Pro as an audio tech out of the mixer headphone jack into my gs2 headphone jack) or bluetooth headset, both of which seem more useful. Just wondering what your application is...
Oh, well, just brings a wider option to connect a headsets. I have an excellent headset for telephone calls, Sennheiser CC550. It is a call center type headset with just outstanding sound quality for telephone calls (not inteded for music). It has a normal 3,5 mm compatible plug, and the headphone sound is normal but for some reason the mic gives a high pitched sound quality on all samsung devices including the S2. It works well on all other phones I had over the years Nokias, Ericssons, Iphones (you buy different end adapters). I also have a USB adapter for it - so I was hoping to use that get the mic to produe norma sound again.
And I tried to find other options, but non wired call center quality headset that I or our supplier has tried has worked. I currentely experiment with CM7 and bluetooth headset (as the bluetooth stack isn't working properly on stock rom) but non comes close to the Sennheiser in sound quality.

Do the genuine LG Google Nexus 4 stereo headphones HSS-F400 work on the Nexus 5?
These are still available online in a few places online and I like the fact they have the Nexus branding on them. Can anyone confirm whether their sound quality is any good?
Thanks
Any headphones work, I mean they all work. As for sound quality, not sure. I still have the pair from my Gnex and they still work.

There no reason any headphones wouldn't work across any device or manufacturer.

Thanks for replying. Well you say that any headphones should work on any device but the headphones that came with my old Samsung Galaxy S and before that the pair from my Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 certainly do not work properly on my Galaxy S3 or my Nexus 5. It's like those headphones were based on a different standard - same jack, different output. That's why I asked.

All 3.5mm sound peripherals are standardized but there could be some alternate function that interferes with the phone's operation if it has inline controls. If it has a mic that should be pretty standard as well.
Most 2.5mm and 3.5mm mobile audio now used TRRS where ring 3 is used for ground and sleeve is mic - standards (CTIA/AHJ) that are good for Apple, HTC, Sony & most Android devices. Some might be wired with ring 3 for mic and sleeve is for ground instead. If you come across it, you can get an inexpensive adapter on eBay to reverse/conver it.
The left & right audio channel are the same, however - so for listening purposes, they all should work ... :fingers-crossed:
I have not received any headset with the N5...but I would like to buy one motorola bluetooth headsets for my N5 as I just used of one of my friend and I really like them...so wondering to go for them....
N5 does not come with nor ship with any headset.
Standard & popular bluetooth headset are fine, I've both Motorola & Jabra BT headset setup for use with it, recognized it & did not even ask for a PIN - but I did change the device name to something more unique so that other BT headsets nearby won't connect to it by "accident" although I usually turn it off unless I'm on the move.
