Hi There,
Do you guys using the original headset or dump this away and use another better one?

Problem is, where are you going to find a stereo headset with mic with the same connector as your device?
Don't chuck it.

Sony Stereo Mic for Video Recording etc.

I wanted to share my purchase with you, Sony ECM-DS70P for £2.70 from ebay. I'm sure some people will appreciate this, because the sound on video recordings is...I'll just say not that good.
the Mic is obviously a fake Sony but still much better.
a couple reviews from youtube(there are plenty more):

You can check the mic on ebay:

Enjoy
Edit: apparently u need to be on 2.3.5 or above to get ur ext. Mic to work

Hi,
But it worked on the SG2?!?!?!
How? The 3,5mm jack isn´t just for output?

No, think about what happens when you talk from handsfree
try recording video with your handsfree that the phone came with and you will see the difference

Right, the handsfree. Forgot that
Nice finding!

I think this Adaptor from Ebay must work - it is for Iphone, but the 3.5 audio connector is compatible with the SGS2
Alternet you can look on this pages: http://www.kvconnection.com/iPhone-Adapter-Cables-s/8404.htm or https://www.kvconnection.com/Articles.asp?ID=165

[Q] 3.5mm audio plug? Support TRRS w/Mic?

I was very disappointed, when attempting to use my original Nexus 7 with Skype, to find that the 3.5mm headphone jack did NOT support headphones with integrated microphones in a single plug, such as those with a TRRS 4-pole adapter (ie Most Android and iOS devices that support a wired headset with mic for calls etc..). This is a silly oversight, especially considering the front-facing camera on the first N7 and the VOIP apps on Android. I hope it has been remedied with Nexus 7B / 2013.
Can anyone test this out to check for sure? Please check to ensure that audio output, mic/audio input, and if possible the multi-function button (usually used to pick up/hang up calls, or advance music tracks etc..) Thanks

No it does not support audio input

Did I miss something on that Anandtech report? The quote I saw was " I know a lot of people were hoping for inclusion of line in on the 3.5mm audio jack but I can confirm it isn’t present. " referring to line-in, but does that mean a microphone won't work? Or just that it doesn't support a line-in feature? I don't see anything specific about a mic?

Sorry for the newb question, but does this mean that I won't be able to use the Square credit card reading device? Thanks...

If the sole 3.5mm jack does not support input, as it appears is the case, then you are correct - the Square reader will not work. It does not work on the original N7.

Looks like square works

Did you try to swipe a card to see if it reads?

Err... B&H seems to think it does support headphones with mics:
"The tablet features a 3.5mm combo audio mini-jack as well, so you can connect headphones and/or an external microphone."
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/indepth/asus/news/asus-announces-new-google-nexus-7-fhd-tablet

So I managed to get 4 successful credit card swipes on PayPal here. So it must work, I attached a screen shot.

Well, if Square works than that confirms it is a combo port and will support microphones. There is no way it could read credit cards without that.

Very promising indeed with Square.
It would be great if someone with Square (or a similar device) could try plugging in a 3.5mm headset w/mic and see if works as well. Bonus if you can test a headset's "multifunction button", to see if it picks up/hangs up/advances the song etc...

It's not promising - it's proof.
Square uses the mic input to send the card's magstripe data from the reader to the device. There is a 0% chance that it would be able to read the card without this ability.
Whether a multifunction button works or not is up in the air, but there is no question about the mic.

I used my gaming headset to make a call using GrooveIP the other night no problem on my original Nexus 7. Headset had a mic and worked like a charm.
I would assume the updated one would be the same.

My new 7 says that the reader is connected but it won't acknowledge that I swiped my card. I also tested mic input using a app from the play store and my note 2 headphones and the mic didn't register on that either.

I tried with my skullcandy headphones. The button successfully plays and pauses the music. I couldn't tell if the mic that was built in was relaying audio but this tablet sounds much better with audio quality.

I made a test skype call using a headset that I know works with my android phone. The Mic works just fine, loud and clear.

I was going to test but I can't even seem to locate the PayPal Here app anymore...

Huh.... I test using the speech to text with stock key board and when I tap the mic with my finger is defiantly notices it. I wonder why it won't read my card with square? My reader works fine with my note 2

Skullcandy Ink'd 2 - Headphones question.

Hi, I've been using my Skullcandy Ink'd 2 Headphones that I got for a while now but over the past month`ish I've noticed people saying they can't hear me properly etc, so I tested the mic out with a sound recorder to see if it picked up any sound and what I noticed was that instead of picking up sound from my headphones mic it was picking it up from my phone instead, I'm not sure if I had this issue a little later after buying this phone or if it just recently happened.
My question is should these headphones and the mic on it technically work on my phone? (Galaxy S4 mini i9195)
I tried these samsung headphones that I received (doubt they're original), the mic works but seems a little low, and the sound quality is so poor compared to what I'm used to with skull candy ones).
Should I just buy it again and try it out? If mic doesn't work then return? - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skullcandy-...d=1400942319&sr=8-2&keywords=skullcandy+ink'd
Or are there any good quality but not too expensive headphones a with mic, that has similar sound quality like the Skullcandy Ink'd 2 that anyone could recommend?
Thanks for your time guys!

I have the same earphones ink 2 and the micro works very well, I compared the audio from the earphones mic, and the phone (s4 mini) mic and both are the same, maybe its your earphones mic. They have guarante for 1 year with skullcandy maybe they could change yours. :good:

Thank you very much for this reply.
I've had the headphones for about 3 years now so I guess the mic could have just become faulty haha. I'll order another pair .
Also which ROM are you on? Stock(TouchWiz) or Cyanogenmod(11?)
If you don't mind answering^
Thanks.
