Earphones with volume control and play/pause?

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 )

[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

IPhone headset works on Nexus?

Hello,
I am searching for a new pair of reasonable quality earphones for my nexus.
The main goal is to use them to listen to music and the occasional videos.
It word also be nice if they had a mic to be able to use the earphones in phone calls too.
So, does an earphone with mic for the iphone like the DREX300IPB from Sony work with the nexus?
Thanks.
Cheers.

are there 3 rings on the 3.5mm jack? if so, the mic should work.

I think so. I will have to go to a store and check.
There are also models for iPhone with controls to stop/play, forward/reverse, mic and such.
Do does work with android?

Doubt all the multimedia buttons will work, but you just have to try
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

The answer is yes.
However, volume buttons don't work, but the calling/play control button works.

There are 2 standards that exist, iPhone headset, and standard mobile phone headset with in line mic which 99% of phones support. Nexus supports the normal standard, not the iPhone standard. Just buy the standard one.
Example, Bose MIE2 or Bose MIE2i. There is always both options. Just buy the right one.

Thank you for the explanation.
However, I seem to find far more models with mic and controls that say that are made for idevices. The choice seems to be greater and so I was wondering of they would work at all on the nexus.

Just one more question.
Do the beats by Dre for HTC sensation work on the nexus? The Mic and the play controls?

Haha, I can't unsee that. I might be inclined to get one for this very reason, but I like having the cable closer to my ear, and the phone move less, especially when running. My forearms move much more than my upper arm, and I usually listen to mixes/playlists and rarely have to toggle things on the phone.
