[Q] Still looking for a headset/handsfree

So, after 3 months I am still looking for a headset. My wishlist is as follows:
1. Wired, so that it can double as antenna for the built-in radio.
2. Remote (prev./next track, prev./next radio station).
3. Microphone for calls (with button to answer and end calls obviously!)
4. Volume control
5. In-ear design
6. Stereo (of course!).
I have searched numerous brands and models, even inquired directly. So far,
JAYS and KLIPSCH support have answered that they do not have such a model
in their product ranges. I am waiting for feedback from other manufacturers, but
I thought I 'd share the story in the meantime
So, does anyone know *for sure* of a wired headset that matches the above
criteria? Just for the record, I am using a BT Plantronics Discovery 650, which
is of course for calls only, and it works great (multipair etc).
Cheers

I have already contacted Klipsch Tech Support. Here is their feedback:
"Because our headphones with button control feature an Apple chip we cannot
guarantee the level of functionality they will have with other cell makes/models."
Also, the product's page on klipsch's site does not leave room for hope, and at
€80+ it's not something to experiment with.....
Sennheiser feedback just in: They say that MM30i and MM50i are compatible,
with the exception of volume control because "Android has no standard defined
for how to remotely control volume in the headset" (!! is that true????)
EDIT: Just checked. You probably mean Klipsch S4A. Yes, they seem to do the job
(no mention for radio station prev/next function though), together with the accompanying
App. Price must be around €80. It's just surprising that their Tech Support did not mention
anything to me!

looking for the same but can do without the volume control.
is there any other model that can do the trick?

I got the sennheiser mm70i.

And? Is your experience any different than what is reported here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100621

I tested Jabra Bt620s.Its fully functional with my s2.(including prev./next track) .Calls are great.But music quality is awful.Therefore i ordered Klipsch ProMedia from ebay.
If you look at photos and specs, it must be using same driver and control unit as Klipsch S4a (android version). If not maybe i can adjust it with the free android program which will be given by Klipsch.

Based on what I see on the product's web page, the Promedia headset is rather
targeted for the PC market. Maybe you could control it with an app (although
nothing is mentioned), but then why not buy the S4a? It's a newer model,
and supposedly designed for use with Android phones. Also, the specs are
probably better.
The main problem with both models is that they have ONE button remote! I find
it totally absurd to keep pressing 2-3-4-1-2 times in order to forward-back-skip
etc. or increase/decrease volume (of course this is Andoid's fault, as I keep
reading these days while researching for a decent headset that does BASIC and
ELEMENTARY things found on heasets for dumbphones since years ago with
dedicated buttons - not to mention crapple's........).Come on Google, give us
some basic functionality here!

I choose Promedia because S4a not exists right now and usd.40 differance.
Maybe you should examine this article.
search google for ''HTC HD2 Kulaklık upgrade''.. and go for the first link.

As far as I know they're not available yet, but were announced for Q4 2011, so it's about just now I am getting one for sure as soon as I can

How you found the kilpsch for music?

Get a pair of HTC RC E160 headphones for about £3 from eBay or Amazon. If you don't like the earpieces, or want an inline volume control, chop them off and solder a line socket in their place so you can use your preferred regular headphones (with inline volume control, if they have it).

I use Klipsch Image x10i with mine. Its clarity and bass are amazing for such compact headset.
Mic works, call/action button works.
Before I've used Etymotic hf2, also worked 100% fine. x10i sound quality is way better though (primarily in bass range).
Volume control buttons doesn't work, but I believe no wired headset could provide iPhone-like dedicated volume buttons for S2, simply because there are no circuitry in the wired jack for such capacity. You could use one-button control though.

Hello,
As you already mentioned, the Jays seems to be great for android. I would recomment the a-Jay One+ with one button inline remote and mic. And also use the Jays Headset Control app from Market, its free! Tho that app could be used for other headsets aswell... It also has Volume Control "Gesture".
Volume +: Long press a single click
Volume -: Long press a double click
Track +: Double click
Track -: Triple click
Edit: Looks jmaciak suggested the the Jays One+ already So there is already 2 vote for them! Go get it!
I also love the flat cable design, its superb!

Slight bump here but I managed to click my way here form another thread, so...
I'm in the same boat, and have looked around, but think I'll take the same route as I did with the iPhone headset: take q cheap headset made for the device and solder on some better buds. I have a tutorial from back then on how to do it, and the method is the same for Samsung buds: http://andreasodegard.com/2009/08/iphone-3gs-remote-control-headphone-mod/
Takes a bit of skill, but frankly not much. This way you can mix and match whatever headphones you want and get control functionality

AKG Q460 + android

Hi, anyone know if in the headphones AKG Q460 the play/pause and next/previous track buttons work in android (SGS2)?

+1
same question

If you download an app like 'Headset Controller App' you can use any 3 button remote and mic on Android. The app recognises and configures any buttons to whatever functions you want, real handy, use it all the time on my HTC desire S with 'Made for iPhone' earphones, no problems

one more question.
I've some problem with mobile-headphones. The standart headphone they without mic and has just 2 lines on TRS 3.5 but mobile headphone has 3 lines on TRS 3.5.
The problem is when I connect my samsung\black-berry headphones to my MP3 Iaudio I7 so I hear very very weak until I click some buttom on the cable of headphone.
will I get same problem with this headphone on my I7 or PC?
ty!

Are you really sure about this ? I have read mixed reports on Headset Controller Button. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Seems to depend on the headsets, and also on the android smartphone.
I'm desperately trying to find if a AKG headset (Q460 or K451) can be made to work (all 3 buttons) with my Xperia Arc S. This info seems just IMPOSSIBLE to find right now !!!

Sorry for the late answer, But I am registered since only a few minutes.
Try it with the included Nokia-Adapter. This works fine on my xperia x10 mini.

If you upgrade your phone to the newest version of android, they will definitely work. Tried it already

Hi
I have an Xperia SL and this is not working...
I can stop/play the music, but cannot receive calls and no one hears me when I speak to the phone's mic.
is there a way to solve it?
I'm using AKG Q460
thanks

I have the Q460 and Galaxy S3.
The Play/Pause/Next Track function works. The Mic and Vol control does not.
The Q460 was made for the Iphone/Ipod with a 4 pole jack.
The limitation is a physical (wired) connection that is not present on the Android phones.
Bear in mind the headset was also tuned for the Iphone4/5 - sound will be weaker and distorted on my Galaxy-for example - but sounds OK with PC/Kindle Fire output.
I ordered a headphone amp for my S3 to fix that problem.
If you want phone functions on android get an AKG model that supports the android phones of which there are several.

In the last 6-7 months I reviewed a few dozen of headphones with fixed or removable iDevice cables and EVERY single one worked on my Note 2 w/android 4.1.2. I mean, volume up/down will not work because iDevices use different resistor values in the remote, but multifunction button worked perfectly for play/pause/call, double click to skip, and long press for Google Now. I was under impression Galaxy S3 was supporting 4pole jack as well with extra control signal. So Vol not working is expected, but I wonder if something is wrong with your mic?
Btw, how do you like Q460? I just did search, seems to be bass oriented, not much of mids/treble details (I only trust Tyll's reviews: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/akg-quincy-jones-k460)

I just took a second look at my s3 factory earbuds, thanks to you, and they sure do have 4 poles. Two of the four are supposedly reversed on iPhone, as has been stated elsewhere. So the issue is still wiring in my opinion, Different resistor values- not sure but sounds like it would be an issue, no pun intended. I did not test my mic so I cannot say that it does not work, so I stand corrected. Which leaves me with the same observations that you had with the i devices cords. I stay with my original contention- that no "App " will fix this.
As far as reviews I listened carefully to two tracks looking for bias/distortion : " Animus Vox" by the Glitch Mob which carries the full spectrum and "Them Shoes" studio version, by Patrick Sweany, which focuses on voice, mid, and highs. I detected no bias toward lows, and the mids, highs were crisp. These phones, remember, were marketed for accuracy, not as "beats killers", and I am not disappointed.
There are a number of heavy hitter reviewers that agree with me so I would have to say they are real scientists
I ordered an aftermarket cable to replace the short cable that comes with the phones, the one without the Vol control.
And my headphone amp will be here tomorrow night (FiiO E12 Mont Blanc Portable Headphone Amplifier ).
One caveat : I expect these phones to sound even better with a CD since the lousy compression of Pandora or Amazon MP3's should not be used to review headphones.

Then, there gotta be a difference between S3 and N2/N3/S4. I would not be surprised that starting with N2 Samsung "aligned" poles to work with apple in-line remote. I can tell you with 100% certainty that every single headphone I tested (check out my signature link to all my reviews on XDA, also a sticky in this accessories forum section) with iDevice in-line remote worked perfectly with my Note 2 and also with S4 when I had that one for review from Verizon. Volume didn't work, but multi-function play/pause/call button did.
Regarding resistor values, take a look at this link. They go over in high details about it: http://www.instructables.com/id/Galaxy-Nexus-and-others-headset-remote-with-medi/

You can get the same app with better controls for free, JAYS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol
And, NONE of these apps, neither yours nor mine will allow iDevice volume control on in-line remote with Android phone > 4.x. There is a workaround from the app to get volume control working on Android 2.x devices, but it doesn't work on 4.x.

ibeats headset compatiability

i got a pair of monster ibeats and i was wondering if there was any 3 button headset apps or music apps that can make all 3 buttons work. the center button works but the volume buttons do not. i have already tried jays, headset button controller and headset control and non of them let me use the other buttons. from what i can find out it has something to do with the framework of android. the ibeats are made for an apple based but is there anyway around this???? please any more info would be nice since i just got these headphones and there AWESOME. i dont really need the buttons to work but would be nice since they were pricey...

Sell them and get the klipsch s4a that are made for android just as good if not better sound quality.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

actually, no don't sell them for a klipsch s4a set, because you will run into the same (if not worse) problems. you aren't going to get any better than what you have right now. all idevice headsets function fine as one button headsets. doing my own searching has told me that a special circuit board in the controls is the only way to get any headset working like an idevice set. and even then it would be no guarantee. samsung has their headphone jack wired a little differently so even any headset made for android devices would have trouble here.
it isn't just the klipsch s4a i'm talking about here. it's all the android headsets with all samsungs running android. maybe samsung will release a 3 button headset or someone would produce an adapter that will fix that problem. either way i wouldn't go around selling anything just yet.

Sony IPhone-compatible headsets and the SGS2

Hey folks, quick question...
Does anybody out there knows if Sony's line of IPhone-compatible headsets is also compatible with the SGS2? Particularly the DR-EX61iP (image attached).
I've always been quite a fan of Sony's in-ear earphones and I use them with my S2, but I've always missed the very handy mic and button than comes with the stock earphones shipped with the S2 (which, in my personal opinion, are decent earphones, but lack the audio quality that Sony earphones have) and I've noticed some of these headsets Sony has been manufacturing exclusivelly for the IPhone/IPad/IPod line.
Now, the only reason why I'm asking you guys is that here in Brazil there is only one model of Sony headset available by an absurd price (the DR-EX12iP, around R$ 100,00 or US$ 50,00) and I've been thinking about importing the DR-EX61iP, which, with brazilian customs, will probably take a while to get here...
So, I've been wondering if anybody out there has ever tried one of these Sony IPhone-compatible headsets with our SGS2 and checked if at least the earphones work properly as well as the mic and the central (or "home") button - I don't really care about the volume control...
Thanks in advanced...

Thanks mate. Since I never had any contact with urbeats, HTC or Nocs headsets or headphones before (quality-wise, I mean) I'll look into Sony's Smart Headset for purchase online. Since Amazon won't ship the DR-EX61iP to Brazil and it is not available here, I'll look into it a bit further before purchasing it on eBay.
If in the end I decide to try the DR-EX61iP, I'll let you know if at least the mic and the central function button work (I've done some research and for what I've read, the volume buttons probably won't work, but that's OK, my S2 is always in my pocket)
Thanks again

Also HTC RC-E160, Samsung GH-59-11721A / EHS64AVFBE (black) and GH-59-11720A / EHS64AVFBE (white).

Hey folks, just want to let you all know. Sony's DR-EX61iP is compatible with our beloved SGSII. The mic and central buttons work like a charm, but the volume buttons do NOT (then again, a wired headset is almost always close in arm's reach). My guess is that all of the Sony "IPhone-exclusive" headsets aren't all that much exclusive and may work with our SGSII as well.
One thing I was quite pleased is that PowerAmp also works well with it (my guess is it works well with all compatible headsets, though)...
Anyway, I just wanted to shared this with you all.
Best regards.

I can confirm that, i've been buying headphones meant for iphone/ipod and had no problem with the middle button. Of course, for reasons given by thelastred, volume up and volume down do not work. This being said, i have heard that there are headsets with volume down and volume up working on sgs3 (made by samsung afair). I was wondering if these work on sgs2 as well. in fact, it would be cool to list headsets with volume up/down working with sgs2.
(if a thread like this exists, sorry for this ;D)

I am using sony ericsson's MW600 bluetooth headset. play/pause, forward, rewind, volume, call button all works in my cMIUI ICS s2.
The only problem is the oled display is not displaying the song name/artist. Always unknown.

Can I get "made for Apple" mic/volume buttons work on android?

I though I'd ask you guys as you'd know best.
I have some excellent sounding Klipsch x10i but the volume buttons don't work on my Samsung Galaxy S III I9300
I was looking at this but it says it will not work with S3/S4
Is there anyway around this?
Thanks

This could be the answer but is there a cheaper option?

I am afraid not
I am looking for something likes this very long but could find a solution.
The thing you found seems great... I hope it works

Samsung has their own propietary headphones that correctly work with your phone. As far as others, you can get a player that supports customizing the buttons on the headphones, like the one i use Player Pro.

Volume - forget about it, its proprietary. In order to make it to work, you need to crack remote open and replace 2 resistors inside. It's very tedious and these in-line remotes are so small, you might break it before taking it apart.
Regarding control and MIC - it absolutely DOES work. Get JAYS free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol - and with a single multi-function control button you can play/pause audio and video, pick-up/hang-up calls and use MIC (you don't even need app to use any of these functions for single button and mic use), then also assign double and triple click for playback control to skip Next/Prev tracks and adjust timing between clicks (very important because if timing is too short it will think you did a double click and a single click).
Look into my signature link and over a hundred accessory review I posted on XDA, including headphones with dedicated Apple controls. Everything works great
Btw, how do you like x10i? I have S4A II (supposed to be for android, but they simply removed volume buttons from apple version, leaving a single multi-function control button). My favorite under $100 headphones are UE 600vi with "apple" control, about $59 on amazon. Wireless, I can't get enough of new Plantronics BackBeat Go 2. Also, might get x7i to review, heard some saying it sounds better then x10i? Also, Klipsch released x11i too.

walkman is the best choice:good:

Great, another HK spammer who is trying to get to 10 posts with useless short sentence replies just so he/she can start posting links to their product. I'm guessing it's going to be from "onite"? LOL!!!

ControlTalk is owned by Apple
As I said in the title. The ControlTalk protocol seems to belong to Apple. It seems there isn't anyone who has figured out the protocol, or if it needs some kind of logic in the phone to process the commands.
Basically everything I've found involving someones headphone button control app always works for most buttons, but not the volume buttons.
So its either an Apple well kept secret (NDA for vendors like Beats) or some kind of technical limitation which stops it working on non-apple devices.
Even HTC with Beats branding cant support Volume Up and Volume Down on the Apple ControlTalk headphones with Android devices.
Happy to be proven wrong if someone knows more.
