I know this is a new product, but maybe.
http://uk.akg.com/product-detail-2821/k328sbp.html is a headset w/ microphone and vol control, but it says it's been made for the i-products (ipod/iphone...)
Does anyone know if they work with Androids, specifically SGS2s? (the mic and vol control I mean).
(for anyone who cares, I've signed up to be a guinea pig, and yes they work well, except for the volume control buttons.)
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!
So, are the AKG K328 working perfectly with SGS2 using Klipsch Control? Can I have a confirm?
Microphone, volume (+ and −), call answer, play/pause, next/previous song are all working correctly?
Many thanks indeed

After many tweaks my EVO is almost perfect, but I still can't seem to figure out how to control media volume from my headset. I've tried both the ipod headset and the klipsch s4i and neither can control volume from the controls, but play/pause/skip/back do work. Suggestions?
Help please someone.
Someone please help me with this issue.

Why not use a stereo bt headset? Or try the touch slide headset, works on the evo, but I dont remember if it had volume buttons, skip.play ,reverse did have and worked nicely.
Thanks for the response! I'd really rather not have to buy another headset for something as simple as this, and it seems a little ridiculous that HTC/Google would release a product with this limitation. Is there an appropriate app?
there is no support for volume control from wire headphones yet, im hoping that somebody can make a small software package that will decode the vol+/vol- signals and adjust it accordingly..
Im going to be buying ipod headphones myself
This is very sad and one of the little things holding Android back D= Thanks for the response!
I also have the Klipsch S4i headset. I love how it sounds for speech and music. The volume controls worked perfectly when I was trying out the T-Mobile HD7 Windows Phone 7 but I sent that phone back because of the crappy T-Mobile network in my area (San Francisco Peninsula). Now I'm back on my EVO and I have no volume controls. I'd be happy to kick down $10 to any dev who can set this up for me. I'm running the latest Fresh ROM.
I don't suppose anyone has some more advice on this? I picked up playerpro, and I'm now able to play, pause, and skip with my Klipsch S5i headphones, but I can not control the volume, which is a pain to say the least.
Headset Button Controller app gave a bit more functionality (single, double, triple click), but I couldn't get it working and it also didn't have volume support.
Thanks for the comments guys.
CyanogenMod 7 has these features. Single/middle button plays/pauses and next track. iirc, +/- does next/previous track (or might do volume, not entirely sure).
Oh, and 7.1 will be getting a crapton of customizations with the inline controls...

That last link looks like it addresses what I need it to. Do you know if these fixes have been implemented already? That looks more like a suggestion than an implementation.
Anybody have any other ideas? As far as I can tell, CM7 doesn't yet implement the volume and play button controls on newer headphones with in-line controls.
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.
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a good headset (with in-ear buds) like the ones from the brands Klipsch and Ultimate Ears.
They are designed for iphone/ipod with 3 buttons, 1 for play/pause, and 2 for volume up/down.
Those volume buttons don't work on Android, and I would like to know if there is a way (an app maybe) to make them work instead of having all the functions on a single button (quadruple press is not for me ).
Or maybe could you recommend ear-buds (with very good audio quality) with volume controls that will work on my Galaxy S2?
Thanks in advance.
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
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
