Good Wired Headset?

I usually listen to the music over my Note...
Could anyone advise a good sound quality wired headset with full compatible microphone & its control with Galaxy Note?

initially wanted to get Klipsch S4A for Android but read somewhere that it might have compatible issue with some Samsung Android phone. So do beware if you are getting this.

these sound awsome for music
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.html
and can be got for as little as £65

Thanks friends for you all recommended...
However, I have see many wired headset in iPhone shop with vary price level & quality.... if they compatible with iPhone, can it also compatible with Note? (I see they using the same connector type)

You have to choose carefully
Tee3D - No! Not all headphones that work on iPhone will work with the Note. I have a pair of iLuv cheap headphones for the iPhone and they work fine with it. The headphone has a mic and phone/music controls that work fine on an iPhone, but not all of the controls work on my Note. You have to check carefully.

I just bought Klipsch promedia.
http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-in-ear
Sound quality is very good,they are comfortable and music control works well.
1 click for play/pause, 2 clicks for next track.
You can also install from market klipsch control which allows you to control the volume too.
I paid klipsch promedia 45€..very very good for that price

If you are not looking for high-end audio quality (which I suppose you can't really get with the Note, given the rather less-than-good audio circuitry implementation), I would suggest to give the bundled headphones a try. I've been using them from the start and I find them quite decent.

Thanks all friends for advises & comments

There better than awesome and the mic is the best I've used as well.

the Op asked for a wired headset with the full control (mic, vol, stop, play,next track) of the original headset - as far as I have researchrf none of those recommended do that without tricks or using software solutions. can anyone recommend a headset they are using that are good and have the mic and all controls for the note? I just lost my original samsung note headset. Or does anyone know a place that has a discounted or reasonable price on the the samsung original headset - I can't find them when I google for it.

Skull candy 50/50 got it from apple store although fwd/rewind/nxt/previous track buttons not working ' i am happy '.
Sound quality Its awesome.
Also mic and play/pause button is functional.

AKG 450s sound absolutely amazing with music. They are a set of portable headphones that are on offer at the moment for £40 GBP on Amazon, which is £60 off from the £100 price-tag (itself a cut from a £150 price tag). They fold up and you can buy an accessory set with volume control and a microphone for use on mobiles. These things knock the socks off of Beats!

Try this android with volume control works

[Q] Headphones with in-line mic that work with Android/One X

I'm looking for some headphones, specifically in-ear ones, that work with Android and have a built in Mic and volume controls. I know that many of the ones made for iPod/iPhone don't work with Android properly so I want to make sure I don't make this mistake. I'd quite like the earphones to be good quality ones in the price range of £30 - £90 if possible. I've looked around but not found much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using ones from my SGSII. Work perfectly, nice deep base, mic works perfectly fine as well.
Overall, I'd say my SGSII headphones are surprisingly the best earbuds I ever had. To my ear, best frequencies.
So perhaps you can just buy SGSII replacement buds.

Beats in-ear earphones. At hmv they are reasonably cheap. I'm pretty sure you can find ones for less if you try gumtree or eBay. Just make sure they're genuine, Fake ones WILL break within a few days (past experience). http://m.hmv.com/product/details/171063 <---- those are really good quality, and well within your price range.

You should try these out. They are called a-JAYS ONE+, and they are made for android. They also have their own android app where you can customize the button to perform different functions (change track, adjust volume, launch apps etc) the app is called JAYS headset control. The headphones are really good themselves. I would have posted the links, but since I'm new I gotta wait. But I hope it helps

I just orderd me some Brainwavz M4+, with in line mic ... i can post again when i get them and tell how they work with the HOX.

I just bought a set of htc in ear phones with mic and control and tangle free flat cable from carphone warehouse for £20.
I'm no audiophile but they sound ok.

I tried looking for good over ear head phones everywhere for while, finally bought beats by dre Solo HD, however only one button works, the only way i got everything to work was by downloading app called Headset button form google market, which has allowed me to control everything on the phone.
1 click pause song, ans and disconnect call
2 clicks - next song
3 clicks - rewind songs
hold the button - volume up
click + hold button - volume down
1 happy customer

I just wanted good headphones cuz i enjoy my music, this is some what a solution if you want to use good headphones but dont have all functionality.
this app also works with my skull candy in ear headphones.
hope this helps.

[Suggestion] On-Ear headphone with Mic n Audio controls

I have been looking for (Non In-Ear) headphones with Mic n audio controls. I know it might sound weird to many but in-ear headphones causes me headache within 15 mins of use n m not at all comfortable using them
Unfortunately, all manufacturers are providing in-ear headphones these days.
Can someone suggest a good on-ear headphones with decent sound quality n above mentioned features?
I have found various on-ear but some lack Mic and some doesn't have audio control....
Thanks in advance

I don't know what your budget is but I've found these to be one of the best earphones under $100 bucks. They come with a mic and one button which can be used to answer, hang up call and also pause and play music. IT features double and triple push options so you can press twice to skip to teh next song. As far as I know there are no decent earphones with full music control at the moment.
I can't post links but you can find them on amazon
they go on sale every other month or so.
you can read reviews and get info from head-fi. org,
Also they come with several tips and my favorites the comfy foam tips which is like memory foam.
I've compared these with others which i own or have owned. The Klipsh Image S5i (remote doesn't work on droid and sound is not as good), I tried the image s4a(returned them) and the ATH-CKM50 (really good but no remote)
Hope this helps:good:

Over the ear headphones..

Ok after finally trying out some Beats headphones today at bestbuy I decided its time I get myself some nice headphones. I know beats are over rated and I can buy something much cheaper that are better. What are some suggestions..
I was looking at these also Sony MDR-XB500. I hear very nice reviews on them.

Bowers & Wilkins P5's are great, and available from any Best Buy with a Magnolia Home Theater or any Apple Store.

Cheap and mid range.
I have tried many brands of over ear headphones. From value of £60 to £10.
These are IMO the best:
Sony ZX300 Over Ear Headphones
They are cheap, very good sound quality and the best build out of the ones I tried.
Stay away from skullcandy, they are over priced and flimsy have had two expensive headphones from them, both lasted a month or two before being unusable

I personally recommend AKG headphone.They are simply the best
I have an AKG K450
It's somewhere around 70 pounds and they are really really good

Thanks for the help. Im going to look into all the ones mention!

OK so after much research I went with the Sony MDR V55 these things are amazing!

I bought a Sennheiser headphone at amazon and i really love it!!

Please allow me to continue on this topic. Many headset have been suggested here, but none according to my needs.
I'm desperately looking for a headset that would be :
1. small and on-ear
2. foldable
3. with a removable cable
4. with a remote control (more than 1 button) that would be Android-compatible OR that could be made Android-compatible via Headset Button Controller or another app
So far I've found :
- AKG K450 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
- AKG K451 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- AKG Q460 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- Radius 3Stages (HP-OHF11) : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but could a compatible remote be added ?)
- Urban Ears Zinken : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
For the record my Droid is a rooted Arc S running stock GB (I can go ICS if it was mandatory for this to work).
And when I say "can it be made compatible" I mean "all 3 buttons", not only the central one.
Thanks in advance for your help / tips / etc.

Bowers & Wilkins P5 or P3 fit all of those criteria, except only use of 1 button. I use Headset Button Controller to let that 1 button pause, play, skip, vol up and vol down. P5 retails at $30p. I love mine (not that I paid even 1/10 retail for mine).

I'm sorry buddy, but if "they fit all of those criteria, except..." then "they DON'T fit all of those criteria" in fact...
Besides, they are way too expensive :

http://www.amazon.com/Bowers-Wilkins-P3-Over--Headphones/dp/B0089W0D4E
Any answers to my two previous questions please ?
"Can a compatible remote be found ?"
"Can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?"
Thanks.

I didn't see a price
Many of us sacrifice some function for superior quality. I'd rather not get into how much $ I'm guilty of spending on audio (or receiving goods for free, running a B&W warehouse had its perks).
On the 1 button vs. 3, you should try out with your existing headphones running everything off 1 button, if you haven't yet.
All depends on what ranks highest for you and what music you listen to. If you rank the following and list your price range, I'll be able to help out more.
Price
Function (3 button vs. 1)
Comfort
Sound quality
Also... www.head-fi.org is the BEST website for research on this stuff.

It's very kind of you to try to help. But my search is very clearly stated in my first post. I have 4 criteria, and I don't want a headphone that would be OK in only 3 of the criteria. I need all 4 to be OK, sorry.
In this particular case, quality is not an issue for me (I have other headphones for quality, believe me). Is there a single headset in the world that could satisfy all 4 criteria ?...
And I still need answers to my two previous questions... That's all I need. Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any Android compatible 3-button, portable on-ear headphones, unfortunately. IEMs, there are plenty, but no idea for what you need.
You may be SOL and have to decide what you can do without.
If you're going to find them, it'll either be through Google or Head-Fi.

I totally understand. But in that case, Android itself has a serious problem. How can Android developers and Android device manufacturers let this happen ?
There are plenty of 3-button, portable on-ear headphsets that are iPhone compatible. And it looks like none of them is Android compatible. Not even ONE of them ? That is not normal.
What I don't understand is why. The 3 buttons transmit 3 different signals. Sure, iPhone signals are specific. But they exist, and if they exist then they can be detected, can't they ? Why on earth a software like HBC could not have an auto-learning feature like "press button 1" (and then listen to any incoming signal, detect it, and memorize it), then "press button 2" and "press button 3" ?
I have seen on the Internet hardware modifications of the remotes, with surface-mounted resistors. I'm sorry but I just don't get it. It's totally crazy to be forced to make such hardware modifications to achieve something so simple as making a 3-button remote work with an Android phone. Why couldn't we achieve the same result with a software modification, either with HBC, or within Android itself ? If the problem is the OS itself, then let's modify the OS for God's sake !!
I'd like to discuss this issue with some experts on this matter, to help me understand what really CAN and CAN NOT be done. Thank you.

I believe the issue is that Android devices don't detect the signal at all from the other 2 buttons on iPhone headsets. I've seen more elaborate explanations, but it didn't affect me, because I'm just fine with how I've set up my single button to do everything. It's been answered here if you search. I wish I'd remembered where so I could tell you. Good luck, man. Post here if/when you find the right fit for you.

Im looking for a cheap set to use mostly while on the PC playing games or music. Would like to find a good cheap set under $50. Seen some ifrogs at walmart for $29 anybody had much luck with these? Also looking for an adaptor to convert my turtle beach xbox 360 headphone jack to be compatable with my home theater jack. 1.5 to 3.5 i believe is the jack sizes.

Sennheiser MM60 is excellent if you're bass lover followed by Urbanears Tanto.

I just got some jvc's, something 700 for $40 should be here in a few days

Koss PortaPro was what all the audiophile boards I read recommended for good cheap headphones back when I was looking.
And I did buy them and they were awesome and I heard things in the music I'd never heard before.
Cat thought they were delicious.
Back to cheap ones now.

Bluetooth headphones advice

As per title I'm looking to get my first set of headphones for use on travel on the bus to work. My budget is £100/$150 , can go a bit over if necessary. Any suggestions please ? Not bothered about noise cancelling as long as they have good sounds.....not too much base.

Skullcandy Hesh 3
Hey, check Skullcandy Hesh 3 Bluetooth Headphones. They are literally great and runs for 20-21 hours on one time full charging. And it suits your budget too

Tranya T2 are cool for the price...

Look for the Xiaomi Bluetooth Receiver. It has a headphone jack so you can use whatever wired headphones you already have.

I'll recommend you to buy "AKG Noise Cancelling Headphones N60NC Wireless Bluetooth" Or SEATTLE Wireless Headphones. These both are amazing with good sound quality and battery timing is great.. The Price of AKG Noise Cancelling is $129.99 and SEATTLE WIRELESS Headphones price is $99.99 only.
