Beats Tour + EVO 3D - General Accessories

I bough Beats Tour earphones, and only afterwards I went on the beats website to find out why my volume up and down buttons dont work. It turns out, only bloody apples have the suitable "Hardware?". It looks like it has same jack as evo 3D.
But I just want to clearify, for me and other Beats Tour earphone users. Is there a software for androids that would allow to read them extra buttons on headset, or is it truely hardware limitation.. Couse It would KILL ME to say, that Apple is better in this way... (Like theres not enough iphone only products)

Beats anything are a gimmick. Not to mention overpriced and overrated.
I have some Rocketfish BT headphones that work great and cost less than half of what most Beats wired headphones will cost you.

I respect your view, but it did not answer my view..

I don't think that there is any software that you can get that would make the buttons work because they are designed for an iphone.

Hi, I am going to buy a beats tour later on , and I am a EVO 3d user to, I realize that you are suffering a volume button non working problem, but I more want to know that is your beats tour's MIC is working well while you are having a phone talk.
Thanks

I would give it 8/10 for the mic. When you try to use it, you would expect to work perefctly, but I heard complains over the other end of the call.. But i believe it might be due to the connection, couse I didnt had a chance to hear myself through the mic.. I think the mic is fine.. But I would recommend not to buy, unless u have an iPhone Becouse you get this feeling that all the money u paid, and yet cant use all of its features (Volume up/down Buttons)

I wonder if this this going to be the case with every HTC phone

the beats tour and ibeats control talk will not work on htc or any android phones. there is a android version called urbeats that have control talk for android phones can be found on att ,t mobile and sprint website.

Headset Button Controller is $3 for the app and has a free 2 week trial version. I've used it with great success to program the center button of iphone compatible headphones to also work for volume up, volume down, skipping tracks etc. For example, mine is such that a long press raises volume, while click then long press lowers volume. Decent work around solution.

List of headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
Update as I found some more

Nice!
Nice earbuds and Nice phone!

There is a workaround to this that I saw.
Get Sony Ericsson buds that split at the middle where the buttons are. Dunno if you can get the half with buttons alone. Split it,then plug in your beats to the top half. Use the Ericsson buttons. Sorted. Also works with solo and studio headphones.

The only beats that will work are beats solo (htc version) beats wireless and urbeats (not ibeats).
You can make studios and if bought the iphone verion of solos work with htc if u buy the cable for it
Pm for the link for the cable.
If this helps give thanks

I would recommend to sell the beats and buy a bit better ones But of course i dont say those are bad! Just beats are a bit overpriced

Currently, only one button headphones work with android. Three button headphones only work with Apple devices. As i understand, this is a limitation of the Android OS, though i wonder how hard would it be for a dev to patch this functionality.
Most 3rd party players from the market (doubletwist, poweramp) have built-in controls so that you can play/pause/skip/etc via the one single button.

S4a has only one button, though it can be assigned multiple commands using the free Klipsch Control software from the market - you can customize the button, including double-press, etc.
I haven't used the controls much yet but they work with the Galaxy Nexus, which was not the case from my old Galaxy S. the sound is quite good from these headphones.

Not true - the iBeats that come with the Rezound work perfectly. Problem is, I can't find any Monster iBeats that have the three button control, all of the ControlTalk ones I find are single button.
Anyone have a link to the iBeats as sold with the Rezound? In Google Music (only app I tested them with), play/pause and track/forward back worked as it should.

Agree, I get mine for 50% off and I love them. They are just.. well amazing.
Got a pair of Sol Republic Amps that work. Three button remote, Play/Pause (Double tap = Next, Triple = Prev), and then volume controls.
I just picked up a pair of Etymotic Hf3's from Best Buy (on clearance for $80, reg $180) and using Klipsch control. Works great! I am pretty sure three Klipsch app works with a lot of headphones.
I think there is another similar app in the market by Jay's...haven't tried that one yet.

fyi who ever tells you to buy the ibeats by Dr. Dre are not doing you a favor. The sound quality on those headphones is terrible. I bought them and returned them within an hour. My $17 Phillips ones sound better then the ibeats. They are the worst headphones I have ever tried. Also they were not defective I had them exchanged as well before I returned them. They don't get loud at all.
I highly recommend this headset. Comfortable and high quality. Works better than expected.

I'm about to pick up a pair of the S4i's (thank goodness for friends who work at Future Shop). Awesome sound, and the centre button works with the GNex (and I'm pretty sure you can customize it with the Klipsch app, or another, just like the S4a).
Bonus of the S4i is that it'll still work to use with my iPod shuffle (relax, I only use it for working out)

I just picked up a pair today from BB an hour away from my location. They were only available there. So far, loving the crispness of these, and just wondering what you did to get the volume control to work?
Btw I bought these because I went through all these headphones and these were the only ones that looked really good at a great price. And you said they worked with all the buttons. If not it's no big deal, I'll just return them and find something else. Plus the bass is really lacking, I read it in the reviews but didn't think it would be this flat

Beats Tour with Control Talk

Hi there,
Bought a pair of the Beats Tour earphones with Control Talk for my HTC One X today. The Play/Pause button works as it should but when I pressed the volume buttons it does nothing...
I have read a post somewhere that HTC phones (especially the One series) will work with any earphones with in-line remote control...
It seems so strange to me that the One X delivers the Beats technology but does not work with Beats earphones...
Is it a pair of genuine Beats Tour? Try w/ an iPhone to see if it work. As far as I know, volume controls only work for the iPhone and iPod.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Try the Headset Button Controller trial app in google play. You can map out the buttons like long click for volume up, double click to skip tracks etc etc. Tried it with Desire HD's stock earphone today and it worked (Used DHD's stock earphone because I don't have any other headset with 3-button control)
try klipsch control.. free and full config.. even with other headset working..
I've got some ControlTalk Beats too and the volume control is the only thing that doesn't work. They were bought for an iPhone so I'm not entirely surprised. I bought the Headset Button Controller (think that's the name) App and it allows a lot of customisation, including skip forward/backward, but still no volume control.
It just seems like only the centre button works, not the extra side buttons.
can anyone show me where i can buy this for my htc one x ( Beats by dr.dre Urbeats ) in UK ? I found many sellers in ebay but the price not the same ( 35£ or 99£ )
Hi
Considering getting this. Does the mic and call answer at least work with this "HTC ControlTalk" cable? I know the standard Beats one doesn't.

Are you talking about Beats Tour or UrBeats??
The Beats Tour ControlTalk controls are designed for iPhone. Like most of the guys have said here, download a third party app to map the controls
If you're talking about getting the UrBeats/iBeats. then the ControlTalk controls work fine (I got a set of UrBeats for my One X and work great)

No it is not necessary to have beats headphones for the effect. It used to be in the old sensation xe/xl but not the HOX.

I'm using a set of etymotic headphones designed for iphones and my mic doesn't work either. I think there is a small converter you can plug in between the phone and the headset that should make it work, but I don't need to use the mic and haven't really looked into it.

Same problem. It seems that headphones with the 3 button apple control do not work (mic + buttons except for the center button sometimes) and they don't even allow the phone's microphone to work while plugged in. I have used apple headphones and klipsch image s4i's.
The center button works fine for me. It's the only one that does. Using CM9, not sure if that makes any difference.
I use Klipsch Image S4A
best headphone for me so far
klipsch s4a
I had the intention of picking up the klipsch s4i when i was in bestbuy. The one i never go to happened to have the s4a which i did not know about. I've only had them a few hours but the main issue is finding a working remote, install the klipsch app and you can customize what the buttons do! Amazing headphones once again from klipsch, worth every bit of $45 premium sound and a android compatible remote with mic. I highly recommend them.

[Q] Where can I get amazing headphones with track control?

I've been searching for the ideal cordless headphones for my galaxy player. I commute to the city and the cord on my Sennheiser HD448 gets annoying real fast. Especially since I have to whip my 5inch device out of my pocket to change songs. (I use PlayerPro to replace the volume key function with Next/Prev, but it's still a hassle). It would be so much easier if I could just tap a button on my headphones, but I can't find them for the life of me. If anyone can shoot me a link to somewhere (preferably amazon) that would be great.
Conditions:
- Must be over-the-ear
- Wireless (bluetooth or however those things work)
- Next/Prev track control (If it has both track AND volume control that would be amazing)
- $100-200 price range
I've been using Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headphones for awhile now. Sound great and only cost like $40-$50 on Amazon. Additionally they give you the ability to use any headphones and make them Bluetooth. Has track controls, volume, play/pause and phone answer/hang up. Also allows you to pair to 3 devices at once. Nice if you wanna listen to music from one device and monitor calls from another ie. IPod and phone.

Looked them up. They're kinda cool since I can use it with my current headphones. I would probably tie up the cords and clip them on my pocket or something. I am mainly looking for something that doesn't have cords at all and has playback options on the headphone cans (or whatever they're called). This would actually be a pretty cheap alternative if i cannot find what I'm looking for. Thanks

iheadphones also sells them on amazon, which would be better for me since i have credit. i contacted them on amazon and they later told me that i could order over the phone, which works i guess. But I then asked them, since i have an amazon credit card in the US, if the points earned would work for a UK order. Waiting to hear back.
anything but beats!
I use my own headphones via 3.5mm plug in combination with a black version of the Nokia BH-111.
Using it with PlayerPro on an LG Optimus 2X. That way you can also hook up your phone wireless to the line in of your stereo set. And still opt to use the same headphones wired whenever the battery of the BH-111 is empty. Or connect it to a device that does not support A2DP. Pretty versatile.

Hi,
It will be hard to find an headphone with the remote control.I see the Beats headphones made for the HTC Sensation,it have 3 buttons specially made for HTC Devices.You also have the official HTC headphone with 3 buttons on the htc accessory website.
Most of others headphones on the market will be for Apple devices,it have 3 buttons but only the "accept/reject call" work on the One.
If I had to recommend you a good one,try the v-moda m80 silver(Smaller) or the V-moda m100(Bigger).it looks great with the One with some silver metal builds quality.The sound quality is great even you 're listening hip hop music or classical.It comes with 2 cable:1 for the Apple devices and 1 for Android devices(just with 1 mic button) and it's kevlar made,very hard to break
Look for :v-moda crossfade M-80 white overview,review on Youtube for the official videos
By the way,there is also an app called:"headset button controller" on google play store,it was great and I used it on my old HTC models,but didn't try on the One.You can assign some function on one button like double/triple press or holding.
Jaybird Bluebuds X
yes a little pricey (I believe around $170) but they're bluetooth, meant for working out but sound amazing, ~8 hour battery life, lifetime sweat warranty (emphasis on working out), and best part...no chord attached to your device(s)
Yamaha eph-100. Tried many and these are amazing in ears and almost unheard of. Reason you will like them is they look like the htc one machined beautifully.

Loving my Bluebuds!
I use the LG Tone+ Bluetooth ear buds. They're 70$ and totally worth it. And this is coming from somebody who hates earbuds.

Hey guys,
i love the stock in ear headphones but i'm struggling as to why samsung and apple can do remote control but HTC seem to only have 1 button!
I'd like to control volume, and also skip songs and go back, etc.
Anyone got any recommendations of headphones and how to get that functionality?
Cheers

Klipsch S4i (inner ears with audio controls) or audio Technica ATH-M50 if you like studio cans (without audio control).

As far as my research has led me to believe, if you want to control volume and skip tracks, you can look into urbeats or if you want ok sound and full control for £20 then the htc 240 earphones are good and compatible... They are like the bundled ones, but with 3 buttons. Look it up on amazon.

The Kipsch S4a are pretty nice for mid-range ear buds.
Ultrasone PRO 900s The bass king of all headphones. The Klipsch S4 is nice as everyone says.

Fry's has these for $140 this weekend. I'm trying really hard to resist. That's more than I've spent on what I consider my audiophile headphones.
I already have the Plantronics BackBeat GO, which has a similar form factor. They fit well, are mostly inconspicuous, and have good audio for a non-AptX headset. However the 3 hour battery life and lack of multi pairing are keeping me from putting them on unless I'm doing something where the cord gets in the way (for me, mostly lab work). I considered the LG Tone+, but I think they look doofy and I question the quality of the earbuds.
