Hello to everybody,
I'm searching for some headphones/earphones that have 1 or 3 buttons, microphone and also have a volume control option. I don't want necessaries to have buttons for volume. A wheel (like the one on most PC headphones is also good).
I've tried a lot of headphone that come with various phones but no success.
Recently I've found something interesting and here is where I need some help. Samsung innov8 has an adaptor which has a 3.5 mm connector at one end and at the other end a female 3.5 mm adaptor, a microphone, a button and also a volume wheel. The volume works perfectly (because is analogical - it does't change the volume in phone) but the sound is heard ok only when the button is pressed. Also the button doesn't do anything.
Does anyone, with soldering experience, know how to adapt this in order to work with Galaxy Nexus?
This is the closest thing I've found until now to headset with mic/volume/button. Also the earphones sound really great.
Here is a link to a review of the adaptor:

Hi.
Look at pinoutsguide dot com the pinous of 4 pins stereo jack of Galaxy SII I9100 and Galaxy S I9000. (I can't post links here)
So I opened the Samsung AAEP433JBE mic/volume box and just changed the G and OT wires position. Now it is working perfectly in my Galaxy Nexus (I9250)

Any headphone with control works for me, I'm actually with a Focal Spirit One, and everything works (Microphone, Play/Pause, Next, Previous) except Volume Control, this is the 4th pin in a 3.5" Jack, and only for iPhone and SGS II as said upper. Nexus only have 3.
It's maybe a software problem :/
You can install JAYS Headset Control app and turn up and down with just one button.

Can anyone else confirm this? I can't get it to work. They will allow me to pause/play only in Fedes Music app alpha v4 however, so clearly the headphones can't be broken. Is there some setting I need to switch on that I am missing?
My SG2 is brand new and unrooted.

Holding will not skip track for me, however if you got villainrom and tweaks, a doubleklick will do it.

The double clicking works for me every now and then. I'm trying to understand the error myself, it's as if you have to get the timing right, but that sucks if that's the case.
I hope more people experiment and reply back to this thread, double clicking only works occasionally but not when I most need it (jogging) grrr.
Double and triple click also works with poweramp. The headset adapter that I bought for NS SGS doesn't works with my SGS2. Looks like they've changed the connectors for mic and stereo oder something like that. I only get a good sound when I push the play/pause Button in the headset adapter.

Its true, I found the headset supplied with the SGS2 to function like this - somewhat. The recognition of your various clicks is not very reliable though... There's a high chance it'll do something other than what you wanted.
And any other Samsung headsets from older models will not work at all.
my i8910 headset doesn't work at all...
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!
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.

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.
No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|
Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!
I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.
Cheers!

Hello,
Using the application "Jays Headset Control" (Play Store) we get the same result with the original headphones lg ^^
And you can change the button action in Advanced Mode...

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.
open standards are always to prefer

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?

I have an S-Off and rooted HTC One and have recently got AKG K451 headphones. The middle button works for pause and next track etc but unfortunatly the volume up and down does not. Is there an app or anything I can use to force the up and down volume to work?
I have done a search but all the threads I have come across are no longer pliable.
tia for anyone that can help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560852 - you are welcome
I assume your K451 has 3.5mm connector on earcup, so that cable above will work well. As I mentioned in some of my previous posts, multifunction button is universal and works for play/pause/call, double click to skip and long-press for Google play, but volume controls are usually for iDevices only. There is no way to fix it with an app or rooting. Its a hardwired thing (internal resistors inside of the remote). This replacement cable above has a remote specific to Android phones, works great with my Note 2.
That's exactly what I need - many thanks
