for audiophiles i believe they arent the greatest. But to the average listener like myself, they are definitely the best headset i have received out of the box. They actually carry baselines quite well and you can customize the highs to your liking through the music player software.
invest in a program called "headset droid" so you can have the same functions with the one button configuration as the iphone and your good.

Headphones (with mic)

Hey guys, today I tried a pair of apple and sony headphones both with mic and controls. Both headphones were detected by the Aria and showed the little headset icon in the notification bar. Audio worked perfect, but the microphone did not work on either set. I then opened the htc ones and they worked perfectly fine. the apple and sony's both show the mic is being detected but no sound is picked up. Any Ideas as to why this may be? Anyone else try any other headphone brands?
Having the same issue!

These guys! My headphones cost me around 120 bucks! Granted I did get some use out of them with the iphone, but come on...I even asked the at&t rep that sold me the phone specifically about that.What an uber-douche.let me know if you find anything else out. Or a decent pair of headphones that will comply with htc standards.lol

I want the skull candy 50/50 they are about 40 bucks, I guess I'll email skullcandy next. Worst come to worst I buy them and return them right away!
Were the sony's made for the iphone? I thought that the iphone was the one with the non-standard writing... So if the sony's were also made for the iphone then I would question whether it was htc or apple who is non-standard.

I purchased a set of iFrogz EarPolution headphones at the recommendation of the sales rep at Best Buy. They work fine. The single button controls several functions depending on the mode of the phone.
1) it acts as the start / pause mode of the default media player. Apparently it will play what ever is in queue on the player
2) answer the phone on incoming call or hang up in an existing call
3) long hold and no active call goes to the standard voice activation commands
I have been using these for over 2 weeks and they are pretty good.
Just fyi, I'm not sure of the model number, but the headphones that I was referring to in my earlier post are made by klipsch. They are definitely high end headphones, and they definitely do not work with phone calls on the aria! The only button that does work for the music player, is the center button. And all it does its turn the music on and off.I've tried several different pairs with a mic, the only ones that work are the pair that came with the phone. I'm also assuming that the klipsch etc... were made for the iphone as that was my last phone and they all worked. so I'm guessing that apple has the non standards. Final answer, if they work with the iphone, they WON'T work with htc.

Check out the skullcandy website and look up the FMJ
I have these, I can confirm the mic works though it is quite loud. Plus, music sounds great on these.
I'll also let you in on a secret, that may or may not work anyway. When your headphones are out of warranty, and cannot be worked on anymore, they give you a coupon code for 50% off of a new pair, generally you can find these codes online, I have bought a few pairs this way in the past.
Thought I would mention that the Scosche HP155m do not work with aria, the headphones do but not the mic. Seems strange as the plug matches closely with the stock earbuds.
Anyway, felt I should mention it
I got a set of Klipsch Image S2M from tigerdirect.com and they seem to work quite nicely, both as headset and microphone. The noise cancelling is due to the tight fit in the ear (multiple sizes included), but works well. There is a single button on the mic and it controls play/pause when using doubleTwist media player and hangs up the phone when on a call.
So different headphones WILL work w/ the aria. Right?
for listening to audio, any headphones work fine. for having audio/voice, only certain ones will work.

[Q] Omnia 7 Poor Audio?

Is it me or is the audio quality from the omnia poor? or is it the headphones which are supplied with the handset? i wanted to try some headphones from a shop but they wouldnt let me...hygiene issues. anyone else have this problem. if headphones are the cause which pair are recommended no more than £30 for in ear.
I am very satisfied with the sound of Zune on my Optimus 7.
I suppose that with Zune all WP7 devices will approximately have the same sound quality.
The Omnia 7 is one of the best WP7 device, so I think you should not worry.
Try some AKG earphones for instance. I've got the K319 and they are simply amazing.
http://www.digitalversus.com/akg-k319-p374_5037_170.html
For an in-ear version, AKG K370.
Otherwise I find Sennheiser quite good also.
According to GSMArena, the Omnia has like 10dB less dynamic range than the Galaxy S, plus stereo crosstalk like hell.
And no equalizer?
The equalizer is a HTC specific feature. Since Microsoft ostensibly supplied all drivers, I suppose the DAC used in the HTC devices has a hardware DSP that can do all the SRS and EQ stuff, controlled by the HTC sound application.
I did read a review somewhere stating the Omnia sound quality is not as good as other WP7 phones.
It feels like every manufacture has cut corners on the first generation of WP7 phones.
Phone quality and earphone quality seem fine to me. The external speaker though tends to struggle only when watching videos and sometimes games with the volume set to low (about 1/30 - 3/30), what I mean by struggle is some sounds dont get through, it just mutes at some parts. Playing music seems find though.

Pick up some good in ear headphones. MEElec M6s are what I use.
And yeah, don't ever use the supplied headphones from your devices. They will almost always let you down.
Audio OMNIA 7
High quality audio and good volume level !
(after one week with it)
thanks for the feedback guys, most appreciated. ive managed to get hold of 2 pairs of headphones (whilst at work) and they are both much better than the ones supplied with the phone, even though they are not very good headphones. the only small issue now is that the omnia 7 isnt very loud at all. are there headphones that can improve this? the ones i used were 100db.

The review (Engadget) said the supplied headphones were no good (they really were nitpicking), if you put in a good pair of headphones it will sound great.

Yes, as said before the AKG K319 definitely make the volume louder. No comparison.

Well yes, but my point was "you aren't buying a phone that doesn't have an equalizer for quality sound, are you?". If they didn't build it in they didn't really care to make it a good music player.
I know that true kosher audiophiles don't believe in equalizers and only listen to flac on Cowon players and such, but that's religious stuff I don't want to touch. In reality, with crappy headphones (and that means everything that costs less than $300), and even with decent tolerable ones an EQ is a must have thing. Especially with the kind of crap hardware OEMs like HTC and Samsung put in their phones.
I can't totally agree.
Good music players don't use Equalizer (but I can understand that people like to use it)
Samely a good motor does not need a turbo.
Well, like I said, if you listen to lossless audio on perfect hardware using high end headphones, and also have perfect hearing - sure, you don't need an EQ. With mp3s on HTC and Samsung phones it's a must have feature. It won't make miracles and won't make those phones decent players but can at least make the sound somewhat tolerable.
thanks for the input, ill definately be getting a new pair of headphones, engadget were right to nitpick because it really does show up as being a quiet phone.
By the way, did anybody try the in-ear Sennheiser CX 400-II on its phone?
http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheise...ssic-line_cxseries-in-ear-earphones-cx-400-ii
I heard they are pretty amazing. I am willing to purchase them, but if somebody could give me its feedback it would be nice
funny you should mention that, i was looking at getting a pair of the sennheiser CX 300 II but if 400 is better then i will do that instead.
Nice,
I will be happy to get your opinion on it.
PS: Don't buy it on the Internet. There are a lot of fake of this earphone.

Not sure how you work that out, given it makes an engine far more efficient, however that's a debate for a different type of forum!

Headphone Discussion for your EVO!

Hey everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I'd like to start a discussion on the various types of headphones that everyone has bought for use with their EVO (or other smartphone) and what their thoughts were - got any suggestions for EQ apps, settings for each type of headphone? Which ones work best for you? Which built-in controls are the most natural for you? etc etc etc.
So, I'll start.
The first thing I want to say is that I acknowledge there are a ton of places the audio could go sour between the original media (CD, DVD, blu-Ray, etc) to the final product coming through your headphones. The whole process will go like this for a typical user:
Buy CD
Import CD using audio program (iTunes/WMP/MediaMonkey/CDRip)
Put songs onto device
Listen to device with music app (usually stock)
Your mileage may vary (you may have your own custom extraction settings, bitrate settings, encoder settings, music apps, etc etc etc), but I want to focus on not necessarily the most accurate sound possible, but the most practical and "best-sounding-to-the-untrained-ear" sound. Personally, I have my own settings, and I have something of an affinity for music encoding and playback, but most of my friends are happy with Skullcandies (*shudder*)
So, after an extremely long ramble for the first, I'll tell you about my headphones:
1. Sennheiser HD280 Pro Over-The-Ear phones
These phones are great, and now sell for about $90 cheaper than when I bought them. They provide a nice sound, and even response using the stock app. I can adjust settings from DSPManager and they sound even better. However, as I've used them over the years, the sound has decayed slightly to become more "middy" and they don't have the original shimmer they had before. Also, they aren't very useful for travel, but they're great for listening at home with, although the big "pigtail" twisted cable looks strange hanging out of your pocket.
2. Klipsch Image S4 Enhanced Bass Earphones
A nice pair of in-ear headphones, they provide a colorful sound and nice overall response to a wide variety of music. They're a relatively cheap set of phones (probably for the holidays) and they sound great. Again, messing in DSPManager I can get an even better sound. These are very comfy headphones and look great, they feel great in the ear, provide nice isolation to keep the music in your ears and the outside out.
3. Sennheiser CX-300II-B Earphones
My favorites so far. I just got these a little bit ago at a bargain price ($30), and I haven't looked back. For being such small headphones, they provide a powerful punch and a great sound. They can take loud volumes with no distortion (until you add EQ). The fit is comfortable, they have a Y-shaped cord (so the right ear cable is longer than the left ear). They stay in place, and look great. They came with a nice magnetic case that keeps the buds safe and secure and super-portable for travel.
4. Sennheiser CX-300-B Earphones
I have these phones also, and they are almost identical to #3, just not quite as bassy.
I have some other phones, but they aren't worth mentioning (Apple headphones, skullcandies, and some other cheap ones). The sound just isn't good, even after significant modification with EQ and such.
For my music app, I use the "stock" app that comes with CM6.1 RC1, and I EQ with DSPManager. Lately, however, I've started using powerAMP (AWESOME APP - Look for it in the Market), the built-in 10-band EQ w/preamp is a must-have in music apps.
I know this is a lengthy post, just wondering if you all have any favorite headphones/music apps/eq settings for headphones?
Well my dilemma in using headphones is that I pretty much always need to be ready to take a call at any time and you can't take calls very well on stereo heaphones.
So, not being much of an audiophile I just pipe pretty lame music into my bluetooth headset using Super BT Mono software. It sucks for music but will do for talk radio.

I have a pair of Shure SE-115's. Didn't buy them, thankfully as the retail was around $130 at the time. Got them through a points system at work.
They are by far the best headphones I have ever had. I ride a motorcycle everywhere, and these are the only headphones I've ever had that can almost completely cancel out the sound of the bike at city to highway speeds.
They sound excellent in normal conditions as well. They have awesome bass and clarity, and they fit quite comfortably.
I have a pair of Shure E5Cs (I think they are called SCL5s now), a pair of Shure SE530s, and a pair of AKG k240s.
Can anyone recommend a a good pair of over the ear (not over the head) headphones with headset controls and a mic?
I loved my Shure E3Cs, but hated the cables. I really like my MEElectronics M11p+ set, especially the cables. The Shures may have sounded a touch better, but only slightly, and you can't beat the price especially with a coupon. Actually just won a set of their M6p phones, so I will see which ones I like better and keep the others as backup.

I use the M-Audio IE-30 and they sound fantastic on my EVO.
I use my Dr. Dre beats pro with the MIUI music app on my EVO, I have also sanded the back so it matches nicely with the evo and pros. I also have the 3500 mha battery from ebay with Calkulin's EViO 2 ROM v1.6.2 and I get over 25 hours with heavy usage and music and game playing. The Pros are about 400 dollars plus insurance and tax 500 from best buy. If you are rz member next Sunday they will be 350 during the special event sale. Hope any of this helps. Also I added my own icons and can be found here to match dr. dre take a look. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793055

JBuds J3M Micro Atomic

Just thought I'd share. Ordered some JBuds J3M Micro Atomic from the JBuds site. All sites have these listed pretty high, but JBuds is selling them for 19.95. Used coupon code "minimag" (without quotes) for 20% off.
Not a bad deal. I'm hoping majority of the music features work for the MT4G.
Still can't post links but it's at jlabaudio dot com. 19.52 shipped.
Amazon has these for 69.95
Just ordered a pair
thanks for the code
How do these sound? (And how well does the mic work?) The stock ones stink, and my iPod ones also kind of stink (and they don't have a mic) Thanks!

What music/call functions can be controlled by these headphones (e.g., next song, answer, hang up, etc.)?
The mic works well. Single click to answer/end call.
Using playerpro it does recognize single click to pause/play, double click to forward to next song, 3 quick clicks to rewind to the beginning of the song and 4 clicks to go to the previous song.
4 clicks seems to be a hit or miss. Sometimes it goes to the previous song and starts playing and sometimes it pauses on the previous song.
As far as quality, these are wonderful.

on topic I just ordered a pair. have some sony earbuds but the mic doesn't work and it only handles play/pause. Looking forward to having a more functional headset, if the quality it close to the sony's (which wouldn't be hard), i'll be pleased.
just bought a set too the mt4g ones i have are terrible and the koss ones i have dont have a mic built in so this will be nice to have so i dont have to unplug when people call me hahah.

Yep I left the earphone on with the burn in tool the whole night lol and the 2nd smallest cushion fits great and it stays better if you hook the cable over your ear as mentioned in the instruction.
Just got them today. Took a week. Phone controls are fantastic, make these worth their time even if they aren't amazing in sound quality. Long press to genius make them exactly what I wanted, music and voice control. Right now they sound a little tinny, have to play with EQ settings to get a good response. Gonna run the burn-in tonight and see if they improve. For 25 bucks they are a fantastic deal, even if they don't get better.
Did the burn-in for about 5 hours yesterday. After I put on a wide range of music and used Poweramps EQ to create a general eq setting. Had to drop the preamp really low and give the lows and highs a significant boost, but now I'm very happy. High's are clean and sharp, mids are steady, and lows are decent. If you are willing to spend some time with an EQ, these can be both a hands free solution and a solid set of headphones.
They aren't working as a headset for me on CM7, but they sound great. Headset works great on my wife's stock mt4g.

quality headsets with microphone

I looking to buy a quality headsets with microphone that will be compatible with my Galaxy S2.

Do you know if they will work with the Galaxy S2? will the sound be good? the microphone will work? the controller will work with the Galaxy S2 player?
If this headsets are not compatible with the Galaxy S2, do you know about other alternatives?

The problem with Bluetooth remote's is that the audio stream get's compressed, so that kinda defeats the purpose of getting high end ear/headphones. As technology stands today, wired is the only way to go for achieving the best sound quality.
I suppose the real question is this:
For ear/headphone microphone sets that we know work with the SGS2 (such as the one that came in the box) which have four connectors, I suppose the next thing to try is to see whether or not ear/headphones designed for iPhones will work correctly. If iPhone designed headphones work properly (including all controls etc.) then this makes finding a decent pair of working earphones a HELL of a lot easier.
I think that the headsets that comes with the device are quality, dont you think so ?
yesterday i bought the "Bose MIE2" and they are just great.
link for the international site
there are not many controls. just one button that lets you pick up/hang up calls and play/pause/skip music. thats more than enough for me.
the sound is so great but the best thing is the design of the speakers itself.
there is something called "Stay here" attached to them, which makes it almost impossible for them to drop out of your ear.
this works so well that i am even considering to use them for sports too...
unfortunately they cost about 130€ which is a lot. but for me the quality makes it worth it!
So far i'm enjoying the phonak pfe122 on my S2. Sound level seems to have improved possibly due to better isolation and clarity is second to none
I haven't had the opportunity to try out as many earbuds as this guy but his opinion in iem/earbuds is very similar to mine
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showpost.php?p=128853&postcount=1
I've bought A-Jays Four and for the price range they just sound amazing. As for inline remote, only middle button works, but thats enough in my case.

good quality but you have to keep pressing button to skip song,you can also answer calls but you can hear the phone ringing even with the phones in which defeats the purpose for me,back to the drawing board lol

The MIE2I's are excellent imho, but like most others the volume buttons don't work with the SGS2.
Headset button controller app is workable and for me worth the hassle to use these headphones.
Mic works well. No one has complained about the quality when I call them.
Totally agree with nimroth. Very few earphones will stay in my weird ears, but these are perfect.

i meant a wired adapter not a bluetooth one, bluetooth is not reccomended for high end headphones especially because flac and uncompressed formats are of a way to high bitrate to stream correctly
if i meant bluetooth i would've said so , i haven't tested any with my sgs as i dont have access to any atm but what i would do is find the cheapest possible headphones with remotes that work maybe even old htc ones or something laying around, then cut off the headphones above the mic/remote section and attach a 3.5mm jack so i can use my Q-jays
least that is my plan.
the loss of quality from the extension will be negligible and either way the sound out of any phone cannot compete with high end audio device anyway, so if you really care about audio quality start carrying a Cowon player.

just for you in case you didnt know: there are two different models:
- the "mie2" only have the mike and ONE button for pause/play/skip/accept or end call (those are the ones i have)
- the "mie2i" are the ones for the iphone and have more buttons (like volume and stuff)
just like MarkyH said the mike-quality is really good (maybe because it is quite next to your mouth), but the volume controls wont work with the sgs2 and most other phones because of a different framework.
i decided to buy the mie2 because i dont mind the missing volume controls or the "one track back" button...
Thank you Nimroth and Also thanks to MarkyH..
Good to know that the headset mie2i works well i.e compatible with SGS2 except for the volume controller.
I've already one and I going to get SGS2 soon.
does the fm radio still work with the mie2i?
I found these:
