Just wanted to highly recommend this ebay seller - he's selling what I assume are genuine* iPod earbuds, with 2.5mm plugs that work perfectly in the Prophet. It fits well in to the jack, it doesn't 'crackle' when touched (i.e. the connection is great). For $10, it's revived my jamin as my primary music player. I'll be buying another pair and attempting to mod some old Sony EX-71s on to the cable.
edit: on closer inspection they are NOT genuine, but they are damn close. The grey tip on the edge of the earbud's wire end can easily be pulled off and slid around the wire. It doesn't happen unless you pull it, but i'm pretty sure that apple wouldn't release a product that did that. This is the only way I have been able to tell it's not a genuine product. In terms of sound quality It's a pretty close match in my estimation to the cheap senheiser MX-300s that came with my iRiver, or 'the usual' $20 sony buds.
the seller doesn't say it's either a 3.5 or 2.5 jack. how did u know in the 1st place?
interested in them as well
It will be a 3.5 if not specifically mentioned. I think what theone3 had in mind is to cut away the $10 bud and connect it to the included handsfree hearphone. Do a search in this forum and you can get a nice guide how to do this.

He sells a few with "2.5" on the auction icon.
I just got my weekly email alert from "The Shack" and it had this link at the bottom to"
"The Shack has HTC Evo 4G Accessories"
So, I click on the link thinking they've finally gotten some good accessories in. Turns out it links to page that has a grand total of FIVE accessories.
http://www.radioshack.com/family/in...m=151172802&csc=97542&csa=151174454&csu=97876
Now, I understand that they aren't the official sellers of accessories, but beyond eBay has anyone else noticed that there just don't seem to be any "official" release like Apple had with all their partners for accessories for this device? That page FULL of accessories that was leaked, almost none of those have come out.
Anyone else feeling a bit frustrated that HTC/Sprint can't seem to get their act together enough to release or get the OEM makers to release any good accessories.
And by good, I AM discounting anything made by Seidio because I don't consider anything they make worth buying.
Agreed! Where's a decent desktop charger/cradle? Where's a car mount? I remember hype from Sprint that all this was going to be available. Unlike many, I don't care too much for the $5 Amazon stuff. I don't mind spending $30 for a Sprint asccessory if it's available. I have the Sprint charger for the car that has a usb charging port in the top of the plug. it can charge two phones at the same time.
This is one of Sprint's biggest shortcommings. They hype too much vaporware.
I can understand the feeling. Feel the same way. But to put it into perspective, you are comparing Apple's to Evo's. How many iPhone 3's are out there? It is all about numbers. Now if the Evo was being produced in the numbers that the iPhone 3's are for example. I bet we would have more accessories thanyou can shake a stick at. Pretty much everything outside of being an Apple, or RIM product is a niche market.
The same could be said about America aftermarket car parts. If you have a GM based product you have your choice of AM goodness, followed by Ford stuff. But if you have a Chrysler. Good luck. Us Chrysler guys have to resort to using stuff from other product lines to achieve what we want to do. Much like I use a Droid dock with my Evo. Plus if you pull off that tab in the back, you can use an extended battery case (at least my eBay 2700 battery+case).
Just my two cents.
That's it, I blame Apple (cause it's fun to do). The accessory companies dropped everything to make iPhone 4 things, they are now just getting around to making EVO stuff.
They can't even keep up with demand for the device itself, much less worry about silly things like accessories ;-)
The company I work for orders alot of stuff from seidio, I called our rep today and she told me that they are having production problems with both the car dock and the desk dock and that they expect to have an update in the next few weeks.....
Well the 2.2 update just added car dock functionality now, rumored to be released in august, as the media dock was rumored for july and never came... i've been waiting for the OEM docks since day 1... have a great ebay case, no need for a screen protector imo, and got the palm pre car charger (1000 mAh as opposed to 500 mAh almost all other car chargers). Didn't get a micro hdmi yet, waiting to check out the OEM dock first and make sure I can use hdmi out with a custom fps unlock/oc/uv kernel
Anybody know of some ear buds with the mic. for $20 or less. I like the stock ones that came with the phone but for some reason only the left side works. I would even settle for the same exact ones , but can't seem to find them anywhere. I am by no means an audiophile but do like a little bass, I mostly listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well,if you can go another five bucks,I HIGHLY recommend these stereo bluetooth headphones from,of all companies,jWIN.Thats right,I said jWIN These have gotten excellent reviews at Amazon and elsewhere,praising them for their great sound quality and great battery life.I myself have gotten over 10 hours between two hour charges(charged by plugging into my computer).They even fold down nice and compact when you arent using them,nice.The link is for Amazon(with free shipping),but I have seen them on Buy.com for around $24.00 with free shipping as well.Shop around you might even do better. I think they are worth twice and then some what they are asking for them,for the money you really cant go wrong!Hope this helped
I just realized I cant post a link yet The product you can search for on Amazon is called:"Stereo Bluetooth Backphones",the cheaper of the two that pop up are the ones I'm talking about.
Thanks I'll take a look.
Your welcome
I personally use the razer moray headset. Can be purchased online from ebay for as low as 17.00. Granted they do not have inline controls but they do have inline mic as well as great comfort level and surprisingly good audio quality.

That's weird, one side of my stock set went out too recently (the side with the mic). It puts out aroud 5% volume, barely audible, while the other side is fine. I was thinking about calling T-Mo and complaining to get a new set. I've had mine since July and haven't used them much.
I use these http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-S2INBI-FZ-Inline-Microphone-Black/dp/B002SW3MP8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1295634861&sr=8-2 and I love them. The bass is deep and tight, and they are ultra comfortable, and the weight of mic does NOT cause the earphone to come outta your ear like some with other heavier mics... people say voice quality is great!
I've never used my original set, pm me if you're interested.
Don't know if they have a Fred Meyers in your neck of the woods. But I bought a pair of Skull Candy headphones w/mic for $19.00. They work decently.
Skullcandys stink. Check out Sennheiser's website.

Odd question, but did you guys actually push the jack all the way into the phone? My first time plugging it in I had that same problem until I noticed it didn't click all the way in, so I gave it a lil nudge and it worked on both sides.
Well I personally like my Zagg Smartbuds.I paid $39.99 (After a 10% off code) and bought them directely from Zagg.com.They have great sound and i mic works great!!no complaints yet!!

I had the same problem ... turns out my case wouldnt let my sony headphones go in all the way so only 1 side worked.
Anyone else have their stock headphones willing to sell? I love the stock ones, but lost them...
Buy mine, how about $50?

Or just solder an old but good set of earphones onto the cable. The only thing that matters are the drivers producing the sound...the rest are just wires.

lol, beyond awful
I use a pair of Panasonic RP-HSC200K as my dedicated gym buds. They're the kind that wrap around your ear so they don't fall out and can resist my gross sweat. They're flexible and can take the abuse of throwing them into my gym bag with my shoes and gear (so far). I like that style because buds like the stock one and iPod ones I have kept popping out my ear when I jog/use the elliptical and get sweaty. They cost $60 and the sound is decent in my opinion. I wasn't looking for audiophile quality considering that I knew they would be abused and soaked in sweat, lol. I didn't want to get something that I would have to worry about.
The mic integration works fine and the button to pause/skip to next song, but the volume controls don't work with my Nexus. They do on iPhone and iPods.

I lose earphones all the time, so refuse to buy the nice ones, believe it or not, those Skull Candy with mic are great, and I'm not even talking about their high end models, i bought one on sale at Staples... and honestly? For $15 (sale price), they are pretty damn impressive. Not to mention that you can use them to talk (well...this model you can).

I hear that. I carried these headphones over from when I used to have an iPhone 4 and yeah, it kind of sucks to lose that functionality.
Apparently it's difficult overall to find a pair where both volume up and down work on the in-line controls? Doesn't seem like a lot of models that are iPhone compatible work with Android as well. I dunno. I do have a pair of Skull Candy earbuds as well with mic and volume controls. I'll have to re-test it and see if it works.

If your willing to spend the $100 I HIGHLY recommend the Jaybird Freedom. They are very good. Sweat/water resistant, comfortable, bluetooth, and sound really great especially for blue tooth.
I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I now use them more than my cans or Bose wired headset. They have nice all around sound and nice bass and I've honestly never heard blue tooth headset sound so good.
Only two drawbacks I've seen with them are the mic is a little choppy if your talking to someone (Focus on your workout, not talking ), and your going to need to wear an armband if your outside as the signal won't have walls to bounce off and will cut in and out if your phone is in your pocket.
Check them out:
http://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Freed...8DOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333998241&sr=8-1
Edit: These things are easily worth the $99 price tag on Amazon. Now that I've used them and broke them in, I'd gladly pay $200 for them.
Nothing sounds better than the Bose IE2's. You'll never regret getting these.

I have these as well and wear my Jaybird freedom's when I workout because as the Bose do sound nice the wire is just a pain in the butt when working out or running. I started off wearing these when working out but that only lasted a week or two before I had to switch up to bluetooth.

I had that same problem with the wire going everywhere, until i picked up a Scosche universal armband...i have the wire running under my arm and into my shirt so it doesn't interfere with my running...and it worked out quite well.

I've been loving my LG HBS700 Bluetooth headphones while running. Got mine for less than $50 on amazon. They sound great and are very comfortable... really one of the best purchases I've made in the past year. The battery gets me through a day at work listening to podcasts and has plenty left for my workout after.

I appreciate everyone's input.
Unfortunately at the moment I can not spend more than I guess 50 to 60 dollars on a pair. A) cause I need to replace my windshield and B) This will be probably only to listen to music while I work out I rarely ever since myself in situations where I am listening to music while I am out and about unless I am driving I would have it plugged into my stereo.
Those Jaybirds looks so legit I wish I could get them. I think I am going to have to get the skull candy one. God I wish they didn't have the ****ty logo. Looks so high schoolish. Ugh I hate that. I probably look like so punk kid that has no respect for their elders lol.
Unless anyone else has any suggestions for something under 60 or 50. Sound quality would be nice I understand you get what you pay for.

Hey everyone,
Recently, I lost the eartips (picture here) of the earphones that came bundled with the Galaxy Nexus. I've been looking for replacements from Amazon, but I'm not sure which ones are "compatible" or would fit the earphones. Has anyone bought replacement eartips?
EDIT : Would these or these be compatible?
Comply foam tips are awesome, I won't be putting on anything else in all my future ear buds, but I don't know which exact ones will fit the OEM Sammy headset.
I currently have the Klipsch S4 ear buds with Comply TX100's and it's an amazing combo.
I guess I can check if the TX100's will fit the Samsung headset, unless anybody here has the answer. Perhaps Comply will have the answer too.
http://www.complyfoam.com/
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=comply
+1 for Comply (and Klipsch)
I have the klipsch s4 headphones with comply foam tips, as well. I was skeptical of foam tips, but these are something else. The bass response with the included klipsch earbuds was very good. Throw in comply tips and you've got noise isolation and bass that's just out of this world.

i second the comply tips as well. used them for my shure e3cs and e4cs. if it fits then go get some of those.
Just wanted to chime in...I just got my Comply T-100 tips for my Klipsch s4a and they're AWESOME. Much better noise isolation than the rubber type tips and much more comfortable.
Buy a set from Amazon, try them on the GN ear buds and if they don't fit just return them?
What ever you do, don't buy a headset replacement from ebay.

I bought this and they look the same as the original, but the sound is horrible and very low compared to the originals.
I ordered some comply tx 100 early today, can't wait for them to arrive! I'll be using them with my klipsch s4a. I just can't get a good seal with the supplied tips for very long, espicially when I'm cycling to work I'm constantly adjusting them and its quite annoying. Can you guys say if these actually sit properly while on the move?

For your sake I hope they fit, I just looked and the 2 different sets of jay birds use 2 different type of buds from their site. Perhaps have a Google to see if anyone is using comply tips with the same model ear buds as you then you might know if you ordered the right ones

Did you receive them yet? If no, then to answer I think you'll really like them, I have no issues when I work out, the seal is fantastic, from what I've read people prefer these as well for active routines. Also they have 3 sizes so you'll have to see which one is best for you, I ordered the assorted pack at first, Medium was the choice for me, been using ever since.
the only thing, these wont last as long as the rubber tips, being that they are memory foam, but imho I'd change a pair every couple months, it's totally worht it. Enjoy them!!!
