They do work on the Vibrant. As will any of the four pin headphones for the iPhone.
Ya I just bought the Klipsch Image S4i and they do not work on the vibrant... Im pretty sure a software workaround can work... I wouldn't know how to do it though... Any chance someone can write up some quick code for this?

The G1 had the same problem when it came out. It turned out to be software related.
The Vibrant is designed to work with any four pin headset. Alternatively you can get an adapter from Samsung that goes from the four pin plug on the phone to an in-line volume control/microphone with a three pin port on it.http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EMC40AONMEBSTD
Is there a link available for this software fix?
The volume controls and the fast forward and rewind would only be able to work with a software workaround. As far as listening to music goes, it tuns out Samsung switched the ground and microphone pins AND the laft and right pins. And because of that I have to hold down the mic button to be able to listen to music and still it would be backwards. Im going to either make a 4pin female-4 pin male adaptor or open up the S4i remote (really easy) and switch them around in there.

The software fix is the android 2.2 (Froyo) update. It hasn't been released yet but should be available in the next couple weeks.
Zaggs Smartbuds, they work with mixzing and the new powerAmp.

Sorry if this is an old post, but I just wanted to know if the controls on the V moda Remix Remote really work with the vibrant or is it just one of the buttons for answering calls? I am planning on buying the headphones. I would also like to know if the mic is compatible as well. Thanks in advance
Blackberry headphones work great on vibrant, nice audio

I'm also looking for a set of wired ear buds with an inline microphone. I'm running Macnut R12 and was at yodabashi camera this weekend, none of the iphone headphones with microphones would work (Sony, Sennheiser, etc). :-(
Meridian is the answer.
What I've found is that any headphones with an answer call button works but I prefer using Meridian with my earbuds because if you go into the options and select "use headset buttons" you can get play/pause, skip and previous functions all from that one button by quickly double pressing for skip, pressing once then waiting a second before pressing again for previous and one press for play/pause. Works flawlessly with me and you don't have to worry about getting headphones with all 3 buttons since 1 button gets the job done.
Hey do you know if there is a way of backing up a playlist and saving it on the SD card or computer? I hate going through and making a new playlist everytime I flash a new rom or something. Thanks man......and I use Meridian because of you. I ride a motorcycle everyday to work listening to music now. It's so easy to move between tracks with the Mic button. Thanks again.

Can anyone recommend headphones with media controls that works well with our ET4G?
Any of the Bluetooth Motorola ones work great. My current pair are a set of Motorola Rokr that I picked up for about $30 from Verizon via slick deals...
Ok so I did some research and found Klipsch Image S4a Premium Noise-Isolating Headset. Anyone have any experience with these? Does it work with our phones?
I have been trying for the life of me to get my controls on my headphones to work and nothing works I have a pair of Beats, Skull candy, Bose, and Sony and none of them are working for me.

I have the S4 and the sound (for buds) is really good. The S4A is supposed to have media controls specifically for android phones/players as the S4i is incompatible.
I would bet the S4A would be good.

I don't think you had the s4a's... they just came out like a few days ago. I have some on the way from Crutchfield, shipped out yesterday. Will post a review when I get them.
For those who are unfamiliar, they're supposed to work with a special Klispsch android app to enable full media control, volume up/down, play, pause, track forward and back, voice search.
I've been using Altec Lansing bluetooth stereo headphones which also have media controls which work well, but I've decided bluetooth stereo is just a useless hassle, wired is better overall.
MotoRokr is excellent with this phone. Works flawlessly. Oh, no special software needed to use them. They have HD sound out of the box.
I am waiting for these to be released:
http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/a-jays-one-plus.html
Supposedly going to be in the $50 range, like the s4a's it's going to have an android app for controls.
Don't work with beats by Dre studios. But Bluetooth controls work with my lg hbs.

Quick update, I received my Klipsch S4a headphones and while they have good sound quality I can't get the "media controls" to work at all. The Klipsch Android app doesn't seem to work with this phone.
Essentially the headphones have just 1 button same as most headphones. The Klipsch app is supposed to enable control using various button click combos, example 1 click pause/resume, 2 clicks next track, continuous press to adjust the volume etc.
However on the E4GT I think the voice control app intercepts the button presses and the Klipsch app doesn't do anything. A long press simply launches voice command.
I haven't been able to find any way to make it work... hmmm. Disappointing.
S4A does jack sht for us..

Hell yeah it's disagoddamnpointing. I just picked up a pair of S4As I ordered from Crutchfield, total bust and exactly as you have described. The Android app does nothing and all that happens is we can launch voice commands.
On Android Market they mention this "The default media player on the following devices are not compatible and require a 3rd party media app for full functionality: Samsung Infuse, Samsung Galaxy S 4G, Motorola Atrix (List subject to change.)"
They also go on to list, "The follwing music apps have been tested and compatibility confirmed: Google Music, Amazon MP3, Pandora, Last.fm, Slacker (List subject to change.)"
Might as well just add the GSII Epic 4G Touch to a special FULLY incompatible list.

Which Model of the MotoRkr? S9, S10, S305?
I picked up the Sony Ericsson MW600. Not only do you get bluetooth, you can use any earphones you want and have complete control over the phone and media. There is a mic on it so you don't have to worry about having a separate pair of earphones with a mic. And you can hook it up to multiple sources. I can listen to music on my Xoom and talk on my E4GT when a call comes in with a touch of a button.

All,
I need some help trying to find a remote control for the phone. I use the phone as my music/pandora player.
As of next month my state of AZ will make it illegal to have people texting in the car so I figured if I have the phone tucked away and just control the music with a bluetooth remote would be cool.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

What about mapping the volume buttons to be used as forward/reverse track? I'd like to do this, but haven't figured out a way...
I come from the LG Optimus V, which worked beautifully with Button Remapper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Please stay on topic of OP. Don't use his thread to re-ask your question, I think the whole purpose of his thread/search for remote is so he doesn't have to touch his phone.

Just need to find where they have in stock...would this work for you (I know its not Bluetooth )?
Sent from the horsemen of death using the galaxy at his will
that is bluetooth. i currently use that unit and am searching for where they have it in stock or a similar unit for a friend. the advantage of this unit over various other bluetooth car kits is the remote, which works very well. your phone pairs with the cigarette lighter unit and i assume the remote naturally pairs with the unit, therefore allowing hands free operation of your music for play, pause, track forward, track backward.
anyone have tips on how to set the default player so that the button play always loads up that player?

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.
No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|
Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!
I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.
Cheers!

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?

Anybody else try the QuickRemote app yet? I've only tried 3 TV's but so far it lives up to it's name. Full control of all 3 tried so far has only taken about 15-30 seconds each. Very nice app. The Toshiba I tried took the longest as I had to scroll way down to find it. Haven't tried other devices yet tho so it may be a hit/miss for some of them.

I actually find the app to be very well thought out. I love the quick controls in the notification drop-down. What model of in-dash do you have if it isn't stock? I forgot my Kenwood has an IR receiver.
Great app. Laid out well, easy to use, easy to get to, easy to program. However, it doesn't work on my Yamaha sound bar. With all devices router to sound bar and volume, it is unusable for me. Damn, cause I really like it. I have a pair of harmony remotes which rule

Same here but with Comcast. Controls my tv just fine but cant control my Comcast box ( the small one). My htc one combined both and I was able t turn the tv on and off and change channel using the same remote.
Edit: never mind I figured it out. I have 2 remotes one for the tv, one for the cable box. The htc one combines the 2 in one that's why I was confused. Plus my cable box remote for some reason cant turn off the cable box. Anyways...
Here 's what you have to do ( hopefully it'll work for you as well). Set up your tv. For your cable box/dish dvr, go through the setup, when it ask you if the power button worked say "yes" even if it didn't work. Now try the second step which is to change the channel. If that doesn't work say "no" and go back to step one ( at this point I think itll change frequency or something) and try it again, when it ask if the power button worked say "yes" even if it didn't, then step 2 try to change channels and it should work.
