Hello so I a simple question
What does the standard TMO SGS2 earbuds button suppose to do?
In other phone you press the button and it will take you to voice command but it doesn't for SGS2
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its answers/ends incoming calls. It may skip songs when playing music also, I honestly haven't used them myself.

Yeah i test right now but there should be a way to make it connect to voice commands
So i know it answers and end calls, thats it for me.
Does anyone else have a problem with the mic muffling sound? People i'm calling complain they can't hear me when i have the headphones in.
if its anything like the vibrant it answers and ends calls and starts and stops music that all it did on the vibrant
ty for this post!! i didnt even open my earbuds thinking they were just normal cheap earbuds, but now im gonna have to open them...ty

I second this. I thought they were cheap-o's they threw in there.
I just tested mine out for the 1st time today.
The button will also play and pause music from the Subsonic app.
Too bad the sound quality in nowhere near my Sennheiser earbuds.
Anyone have a pair of Sennheiser MM 50 iPs plugged into their SGS2?
I'd love to know how well they work. .

Is that the best headset available for the Evo? Was interested in the Blueant T1 or Q2 but read the range is very bad. I'm using an old Plantronics a520 (something like that) and to be honest it works pretty well and can't complain too much about it; however I'd like a2dp. The range is pretty dam good if I do say so myself currently. At times when it's in my pocket I will get some static, but not too consistent. Anyways what say you all?
Definately, in my opinion the best option available now. Jawbone icon. Just got mine off ebay for like $40 new. One of the best decisions ive made in a while. I got it for the streaming music to headset, So i can listen to music at work while still looking semi-professional. Anyways i just found out theirs an app for that too, that lets people with mono bluetooth headsets stream music and other audio too. But oh well, the icons look sexy too.

I have a Jawbone Icon, now correct me if I am wrong, but you can only have the Jawbone do a BT headset OR a AD2P headset. You switch between the two modes by going to Jawbone's website and toggling between the two. I have not yet been able to stream music then make a phone call with my Jawbone.

Yah you can. Make sure you have the latest update. They just put out and update for AD2P. Get that and download the firmware to your phone and you should be good to go. The music will stop when you get a call and resume afterwards. Same thing for placing a call.

I had the Jawbone Icon, and it was good but it really, REALLY irritated my ear if I had it in for more than 20 minutes so I got rid of it.
Just wondering if the in ear headset that comes with the phone is any good?
It looked plain in the unboxing videos, so what's the sound like?
Could someone take a close up picture of theirs or link me to the exact headset?
Thanks
Compared to other out of the box headsets its one of the best ive had, decent bass, crisp. All the SE phones ive had have always come with a decent headset. I can only use the type that push into your ears so that was another plus.
Does it have a remote for changing songs and stuff or is it only a mic?
A link to the headset would be appreciated
No controls, thats the downside to it. Only a mic and call answer button. I use my liveview as the controls though
Yeah I wanted to get liveview since there's no control.
Is it worth it? Any downsides to liveview?
I'd only use it for changing songs, messages and incoming calls. What you reckon?

I've tried my beats with controltalk with this phone and the sound is all garbled up.
Anyone else experience that with other headsets?
The ones that come stock are ok. but I miss my ability to control songs (fast forward, rewind, volume up/down) that I had with my iPhone 4.

I've heard of a few people who complain of garbled sound with non SE headphones in Arc/Play.
I have been using beats dr dre tour on my Play with out an issue though. Seems very hit or miss on if they work or not.

That's really an awesome app. Works brilliant. I think you have to buy it, though. At least it started annoying me with some "your trial has expired" messages.
Stock earphones are quite good, though they look/feel really cheap. ^^
They look pretty much like SE MH710 on the pictures, but I'm not sure if they are the same.
The arc stupidly reverse the ground and mic wiring thats why other headsets dont work on it. Try to hold the mic button down you will get nice sound.

Just tried that and you are right! How the heck do we fix that?
Is there something I can buy or a software hack that can fix it?

Wow! So THIS is why I haven't been able to use other headsets! That is very sneaky of SE.. I hope this is a software issue rather than intentional to force users to only buy SE headsets
My old Android phone also had this problem so I do not think it is a SE issue...
(Motorola Backflip)
It seems with the 2.3.3 update they don't even let you use these "incompatible" headsets, it just displays "Accessory not supported".
I used samsung and motorola headsets with no problem.

there HAS to be a fix for this! i cant stand the headset that comes with it, i hate those in ear noise cancelling things, make my ears feel weird! lol
but seriously, im having to use a normal pair of earphones with no control because of this issue, i have a liveview for controls but thats not always practical (dissconection issues/battery life/running the risk of smashing it to pieces when im skating!)
i have a set of iphone headphones i really wanted to use but because of this ****ty issue i cant. is there a way we could easily modify the headset and reverse the wiring in them ourselves?
We can use normal earphones ? If so, I'm not overly concerned.

Yes anything with a regular 2 channel 3.5mm Jack (headphones/speakers) work fine. I would have taken the phone back if this problem effected normal jacks too as I plug my phone into car stereos and portable speakers, but I'm still pissed off I can't use anything with an inline remote

Why don't you use stereo bluetooth hedset MW600. 3.5 mm jack on them is compatible with all wired headphones unlike 3.5 mm jack on arc and portable speakers.
I've been using the OEM headset that came with this phone and for one they are quite good for headphones that come with the product.
My question is does anyone know the controls for the headset? So far from using it I know that the main button pressed once is for mute/play/answer calls and if you double press it quickly it will skip to the next track (but you have to do it correctly or sometimes it won't do anything ).
Anyone else know the other control settings?
that's pretty much it AFAIK
if there are other features, then i've not used it that far
Wow, these are surprisingly very good headphones, and the controls actually work.
Thanks man, totally forgot we even got headphones with our phones.
Btw, if you hold down the top side of the "clicker thing", it raises volume slowly, if you hold the bottom end it lowers it. not the best control, but its in addition to what you think we had.
yes, i was very surprised this time as well, being a long time Samsung customer, this is the first time they packed in Quality Premium headphones with their phones
the previous Nexus S & i9000 came with the usual crappy stuff

yea, my Samsung Vibrant came with reaaaalllyyy bad headphones (iphone type, basically, maybe even worse) so I didn't even look to check if there were headphones with the GS2
this is great news for me, i've been trying to replace my last ear buds and my latest purchase were these over ear Sony MDR V6s. they are AWESOME headphones but my first pair of quality over ears, and they might be a bit over doing it for what I need 'phones for, so I was gonna return them and get some earbuds again.
lucky for me i saw this topic and discovered we have decent earbuds with the phone + the controls are just an added bonus.

So far we can change the volume, answer/end calls, skip a song.
Anything else (playback a song with 3 clicks?)? Also, does anyone find the controls to be spastic at times (sometimes they work correctly, other times it lags a bit)?
is there the same functionality with headsets made for iphones (but not made from apple)? i have a really good set of sony's that fit my ears better than the ones that came in the box.
Damn my phone box did not had any headphones nor it mentions it on the box

Thanks for the info on double click and volume control (I'll have to try that). I've seen people complain about the headphones, but I was quite happy with them. The noise canceling is quite powerful as I can't hear much of anything else when I've got them on. I'm not used to $200+ headphones, so perhaps my standards are low, but I've been very happy with them.
help needed!!!!!!!!!
hello everyone..

1. is this with an htc phone or the hercules?
2. are these just any old oem htc earbuds i could buy on ebay?
Lol at the rabbit.
its time to eat it mate.
They are on ebay everywhere, and rather cheap.
Got my phone on valentine's day, did even come with a headset... USB cable and that was that. Picked up a cheap'o at Wallymart... works fine.
First time, long time...Lurking for a while, not posted until now...
Anyway, my phone came with nothing but the wall charger and cable - maybe some booklets. I got my junk at T-Mobile and I asked about headphones. The chick there said it didn't come with any...But because she had a nice rack I just went with it and here I am. Looking at ROMS, but wandered into this section and thought I would throw in my 2 bits.
I have been using the headphones that came with my Sony MP3 player and they sound ok. I bet some quality ear buds would do my ears justice but I am too cheap and my ears are too deaf. Maybe in the future, we'll see.
these headphones sound great but mine already broke. there is chord stress around the connector and now i only get sound out of one earpiece and not both. great sound but not very durable.

Doesnt anyone of you guys have your ears hurted after using this headset? My ears felt stress out after using it for only 1 hour.
I found something on ebay, but i dont know if it's compatible with my Xperia Play.

if it's not, can someone recommend me on a bluetooth earphone for music ?
You DOUBLE POSTED this topic!!!!
And to answer your million dollar question, you're better off with Sony Ericsson MW600 or a Sony Smart Headset Pro.
I still preffer something like that
if there is one.
can some one just tell me if this is compatible ?
Well, buying noname headphones will prob. not be compatible...

You CAN use the MotoRokr S305 for running and workout. I used them mostly on the go on my bike.
Try these. I just got mine and they are great since you can use ANY standard headphones if you don't like the ones it comes with, and some people say there is about a 100 foot distance before you lose signal plus you can make calls and listen to music and they will instantly switch between call mode and music mode with no interaction whatsoever. The headphones they come with are ok but I prefer to use my ableplanet headset since I only listen to music.

Now tell me, how did that contribute to the discussion?
Anyway, on the topic of them working or not, they might, but no guarantees. I've got a Bluetooth headset that works with music, but I know not all of them do work. So you can try it if you want, but I'd buy official sony ones.
Ok to start I hate the way Bluetooth headsets look sticking out of the side of someone's ear especially those with the damn blinking light on it. What makes it worse is when people walk around seemingly talking to themselves for all the world to hear. With that said, I don't want a headset for phone calls. I want one for music.
I'd prefer not a standard headphones unit with 2 ear buds, I only want one ear so that I can still perfectly hear what's going around me.
Do normal headsets that are designed for taking calls with work for playing music as well? I'm not terribly concerned with sound quality, I just want something discrete and functional. Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be most helpful as I'm a bit lost on this one. Thanks!

I was looking for something similar about two months ago, and then I came across the Motorola Elite Sliver through a deal site for $50.
I use my all day while I'm at work or at client's sites. I can listen to iHeartRadio or music on my Nexus in one ear, and still listen to everything else using my other ear. A single charge will last you 4-5 hours, but it requires the case to charge. But the cool thing is the case has a battery which charges while it's plugged in, so if you're on the go and need to charge your Elite Sliver, just pop it into the case and it will charge - no need to plug it into an outlet.
Really happy with it and it lets me listen to the radio or music while still keeping an ear open for the world around me

Not in front of my computer to check the specs, but honestly, I think it sounds pretty good for being a one ear piece headset. Like I said, I use it all day to listen to the radio and music, and still have the ability to listen to the people and environment around me.

Not sure about using headsets for making calls for music - seems like the quality wouldn't be that good. If you just use the headphones with 2 ears buds you could still take one out and listen to music and make a call. Problem solved? :fingers-crossed:
