[Q] Beats by Dre w control talk - Galaxy S II Accessories

Hey.
Does Beats by Dre with control talk work with S2?
Anyone know?

Everything works except the volume buttons.
I have this setup
-Player Pro with double tap controls (in settings)
-DSP Pack (Player Pro)
-Beats by dre Solo HD Red w Control Talk

diddybeats
I've got the diddybeats and they work well except that the right angled plug doesn't fully insert into the socket of the SGS2 so it keeps popping out. To fix it I filed down the plastic case around the socket and now they fit OK. Probably buggered up the resale value of the phone but never mind, I'll not be selling it for a while!
Sound quality is excellent with these phones BTW. As for the beats the volume controls don't work but the button does.

If you download th eKlipsch app from Market adn install it it can allow you to add more button type clicks on it that can help you control the volume and skip tracks etc.
It was meant for their own android headset but I have discovered it works well on iphone headsets too
Best of all it is free!

[Q] In-line volume control?

Hey all,
My favorite earbuds got run over by a car recently and now I don't have an excuse not to upgrade to a pair with an in-line mic, playback and volume controls. Right now I'm looking at the Woodies Blues (can't post links yet, I lurk to much. A quick search on Amazon will enlighten you) but I wanted to confirm that the volume and playback controls actually work before pulling the trigger. I've done my research but still haven't gotten a definitive answer, some people say none of the controls work, some only the play/pause button and some even claim the volume controls work so I turn to my favorite panel of experts. Tell me oh oracles of technology, does the Android platform support in-line controls and if so which features work and which don't?
On a side note has anyone here actually tried the Blues? What did you think?
Mahalo!
I've got a pair of the sony earbuds with ipod remote. (As with you boundless I lurk as well.... so no links. Search this on amazon)
Sony MDREX38iP/BLK EX Earbud with iPod Remote Control (Black)
Phone is a DX rooted Froyo. Unfortunately the remote does not control the volume. If volume up or down is pressed on the headphones it will pause the track and hitting it again plays the music.
I'm curious if anyone has figured this out as well. I would love to use the inline volume controls that my headphones have.

[Q] headphones with music control?

anyone know if there are headphones with music control (next, pause, play...) for galaxy s2?
thanks!
im interested too for gym workout
the earbuds that came with my SGSII seemed to do this automatically with PowerAMP. hit the button on the mic for pause/play and hold it for next track. although, in the stock music app holding down the button to skip track won't work, but pause/play will.
I use a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth set. The controls are all on a dog-tag and you can use whatever headphones you desire. I'm using a set of Sennheiser MXL 60 phones because they have a nice short cord (with optional extension included), and a little loop that the BT3030 attaches to very neatly.
It's a great combo for cycling.
Also interested with this. Any good/great "regular" earphones(NOT in-ear/canal, etc) with working controls on PowerAmp?
Get the Sony DRC-BT30 BT30 Bluetooth Receiver and match it with your favorite earphones (that didn't come with volume/call control).
Has anybody tried a beats solo with control key? What keys work?
If it helps I quote myself:

Regarding volume control using different headsets with the SGS2 I've finally found a solution that works for me: Headset Droid It lets you assign different actions (including rising and lowering the phone's volume) to your headset's key/keys. I've tried it with the stock headset and works great! The link I include is for the 1 day trial version, if you try it and you like it's only 0,99€

Headset Droid
Beats Solo HD: Call(Hang), Music(On/Off/Forward/Back). Volume(Use Headset Droid).
Tried this, and yes it has a workaround with the beats solo but the commands tend to get mixed up. Like center(button) + hold = increase volume or it turns the music player off. So its better than nothing.
Will haven to check headset droid out, hoping for the best

headphones with media controls

Has anyone tested iphone/ipod headphone media controls with the note and do they work? I want to buy some headphones but most just say apple compatible. I know the 3.5mm jack is different from the first generation galaxy phones. I plugged the Note OEM earphones into a captivate and the controls didn't work. Thanks!
Hi, I tried a headphone that came with HTC HD2 and it turn out that this HD2 headphone can work almost the same function as the one Samsung sent with the Note. Only press to Play/Receive call work and FW/BW, they are working as Vol up/down.
have you tried the headset from the NOTE?, I can use it with beyondpod for:
. next
. previous
. vol
. pause
and you can assign the button for other functions...
I'm currently using the Note's provided IEM, as mine kind of spoilt. so far I only use it to increase, decrease volume, launch stock player, play and pause. Still thinking how to change sound track though. but yeah, it's working for me.
the beyondpod player responds to double clicks and long clicks of answer button, so you can assign it to FF....
maybe the stock player can use that clicks too....
I'm using my Shure 215 with the optional headset cable with a single button and it works fine with "Headset Button Controller" from the market.
Click = play/pause
Doubleclick = Next track
Click&Hold = Volumechange (set it to changing from 20-80% in x steps)
And you have call control.
What I still haven't figured out is how to make the samsung voicecontrol app start and work when the phone is asleep...
Don't know if there is any device without a apple logo that can use the apple compatible buttons (they would sue them

What do you mean optional headset? Where can I get this from?
I'm using the Audio Technica AT335i and it works well. Best thing about it is that it's modular, so you can use it with any earphones you like.
It says it's intended for iPhone, but as far as I can tell, all functions work fine on my Note (single click to play/pause/pick up call/end call, double click to go to next track, triple click to go to previous track). Volume control is just an analog slider so it works independently of the phone's volume settings.

I have the one button version.
With the other one only one of the 3 buttons should work on android.
Klipsch sell an Android specific set of buds called the S4A...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4A-Headphones-Android-Silver/dp/B005M1KO1C
The earphones are single button and rely on a free, native Android app here:
https://market.android.com/details?...NvbS5vdXRzaWRlc291cmNlLmtsaXBzY2hjb250cm9sIl0.
I don't have the S4A's, but I just downloaded the app and it works perfectly with my Note and Marshall Minors (http://www.marshallheadphones.com/product/minor).
There's been lots of complaints about the Klipsch app not working with the Galaxy S and various other phones, but I can't find a problem with it on the Note.
*** Update ***
I just found the Klipsch Promedia's on Amazon for £35 (usually £90 like the S4A's): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=466496413&pf_rd_i=typ01
They appear to be exactly the same as the S4A's apart from the colour - this thread indicates they work fine with the Klipsch android app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20510095
I'm hoping they'll be delivered before I return to work next year
I have order one of these last week...hopefully the buttons will work ok

HTC One X with other headphones/ earphones

Hi all,
I would like to ask can the One X be controlled by other in-line remote control headphones (Not Beats) which allows you to skip forwards and backwards through your tracklist, as well as pause and resume playback?
If not able to control music then are there any custom ROM/ software which can make the phone to do that?
I know Sensation XE can do all that with any headphones but not sure about the One X.
You comments are much appreciated.
Pretty sure my Sennheiser MM50s can change track on it. Get a lot of hissing and audio crackling with them though on the One X
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
please if someone can update if the ibeats / urbeats can actually control skip/ forward/ pause/ answer call and music with volume up and down?
Mine doesn't come with beats but i have other headphones with in-line remote control. nothing works apart from the answer/ stop/ start. Skip track and volume control doesn't work on all my earphones / headphones. Including my Beats Pro.
so why was that happened if they promote beats?
My old HTC Desire headphones with inline control work fine... I can play / pause and skip tracks.... works really well.....
If your controls dont work try a different music player such as Poweramp as that has an option for headphone controls in the settings menu....
Just got some URbeats on order.. I will update when they arrive
Thanks, fortunatly i found a solution.
Download Jays Headset Apps, then all works. (Apart from volume up and down replaced by Press once + Hold and Press twice + Hold). Different from normal volume up/ down button. At the moment i am quite happy with it provided all headphones i tried on works and with the Beats Logo on top.

Compatible wired headsets.

Might be useful to someone. HTC HD7 headset works with One X but. Volume control buttons work to change the track in music player. Pressing + goes one track back, pressing - advances a track. Holding the + restarts your playlist from 1st track. Button for phone calls so pickup/disconnect work as normal and long pressing it does the same as in stock headset so advances the track by 1 song. Microphone also works. Finally headset activates the beat add-on but saying that only 1 set of headsets did not activate it on my phone?!
It is useful as what you can do now is mod the HD7 headset so that right after microphone/buttons you have a 3.5mm jack socket and you can plug in any headphones and still use them as headset.
headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
i've got the nokia monster purity in ear headphones and they work with the one x pretty well, the volume controls function as track controls and the call button and mic works perfectly too. Only issue i've had is the music controls won't work at all if you're using chrome and trying to change the track. You have to get out of chrome and then the buttons work, strange but not a major issue.
