Earbuds and Headphones IEM

Just a quick question err reassure me before i buy that i need to buy a set with 3 pin layout right?
Are all the 3 pin layouts the same ie.. if i find one with the 3 it will work?
Like say this...
hxxp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71Dr9lqKKJL._AA1500_.jpg
I want to buy these but i really don't know if they work or not...
hxxp://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Earphones-Microphone-iPhone-Compatible/dp/B002RWJDB6/ref=acc_glance_e_ai_purchase_similarities_t_4
Please any and all help and criticism welcome too...

I won't comment on the pins but if you're replacing the stock earphones for better sound quality, these will not give it. I have not listened to these but I have to a higher-end model of JBuds and they sound worse than stock.

The JVC Air Cushions on Amazon for 16-20$ are amazing, especially with PowerAmp app and listening to Techno/Electronic/House music, as well as everything else. I bought a 75$ pair of NuForce 700X IEMs and they sounded the same as my 20$ JVC Air Cushions.

Compatibility question
I have been searching far and wide for compatible in-ear headphones with a mic.
Looking at the pinout differences between the iphone and most android phones, I was very disappointed in what is available. The GND and MIC signals are reversed for many popular android phones compared to the iphone headset pinout. However, the other day, I plugged my friend's iphone headset into my captivate... AND IT WORKED!! I was shocked! I tried my headset in her iphone and that also worked.
Does this mean that iphone headsets work with the captivate? I would just love it if the headset and mic worked. Buttons would be nice, but you can't have everything.
Does anyone have experience with the Klipsch S4i or the Ultimate Ears 500vi with their captivates?

I have experience with the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 5vi on the Captivate and it works, so I'd imagine that extends to all iPhone compatible headsets. I checked out the 500vi and those use diaphragm rather than balanced armature drivers, even though they are not that different in price. I really suggest going for the pair with the better drivers, as there will be a drastic difference in sound quality.

If anyone cares...
Ok this is what i found in the I9000 forum hope it works for what i want...
Ebay link paid $13 shipped from UK...
This is what i want from it Vol up down button and mic...

These earbuds...are the cord lengths of equal length or is one cord shorter than the other? I hate that around the back of the neck crap. I hate how manufactures and retailers never explicitly tell you.

The Etymotic HF2 work great with the Captivate and the quality is great.
By the way, has anybody tried the HF3? They don't work with some Android phones with I haven't found anything about the Captivate.

Play/pause music with in-line mic control button
Lots of headphone/mic threads, so wanted to bump one with recent activity to ask a question.
I recently upgraded to GB, was listening to music with a seat of headphones with an in-line mic. I paused the song using the control button on the mic, had a conversation, and when I clicked the mic button again...nothing. The button would only begin playing the paused song if the screen was on. I tried several different lock screens, music players, widgets etc. No matter what, I experienced this functionality:
1. Music is playing
2. Screen times out after X minutes, or I turn if off with a click of the power button
3. 1 click from the in-line mic button will pause the music
4. If I click again within ~5 seconds, the music will begin to play again
5. If I wait 5-10+ seconds before clicking, the music will not start again with a single click until after I turn the screen back on again.
I’m almost 99% sure that this wasn’t the case on my old Froyo-based ROM, so I wanted to check in to see if this is just standard for everyone.
Thanks!

Anyone tried the HTC Car Stereoclip?

I was planning to buy a belkin BT to AUX adapter in my car + holder so I can enjoy GPS and music without wires, though I found by accident this HTC Car Stereoclip on the official HTC website.
I want to know i someone tried it and if it's reliable

+1
What I've read about it is that it sound is supposed to stream through it in very high quality
Would be interesting to know how practical it is.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I wonder where we can buy it now in Paris?

I'm planning to get one of these Belkin Gizmos and report back: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525857

I was going to buy the same Belkin,but the cables and 12v charger are uglier than the ''nude'' stereoclip.
I received an answer from HTC support, the stereoclip should stream all audio from the One X,included videos
Instead of buying a 600$ Pioneer to have video clips and concerts in your car(and lose wheel controls) I will get the stereoclip + official stand.
The bad news is that HTC will not release them in Europe/Asia before June,even mid June

Still nobody?
I want to know if it's good in playing videos and streaming the sound over the car's speaker?

I'll be getting mine in the next week. I can test and let you know!

So the carclip works well. It honestly sounds just as good as a wired connection. Also, all media will play through the receiver, meaning anything that normally is controlled by "media volume" will play through the car stereo. However, when you receive a call, it will revert back to the phone's on earpiece. My phone is affected by the poor wifi/bluetooth connection issue so the range is fairly small ~1 foot. However, when I press down on the back of the phone the range improves to > 2 feet easily. Also, I can't get my phone to autopair, but that may be due to the weak connection.

I have had it for about 10 days now. It works very well. I have tried it with both my One X and my iPhone 4s. It will pair with up to 8 devices.The sound is awesome, just as good as a CD to my ears. It lasts about 5-6hrs on a charge. I have not had any problems with it cutting out. If you are interested in this....I would say "Buy it". I am VERY impressed with it! It works with video also.

I paid a little less than that from here http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-car-stereoclip-audio-bridge-a100.html
I heard that Sprint and AT&T stores here in the US will be selling them for even less than that. ~$50-60

Reviving the topic because we just got it in Lebanon!
Price: 120$
At this price I can buy both stereoclip and htc car holder in Europe!!!
So is it worth buying it after all?
Can you use GPS voice assisted app with it?
Also is it still better than the samsung HS3000?

no bro i don't have time, ill do this in the weekend
feutre haha better find something leathery and nice from a gift shop and glue it using uhu super gel (support leather and rubber)

Honestly get the hs3000, it sounds brilliant, no audio sync issues when watching videos
It works with phone calls, it also has a built in mic, had a few calls with it, I didn't ask how I sounded but they didn't complain at least
It has the play/pause, a phone button to either make calls, answer /hang up etc
Only cost me £30 as well, comes with some crappy head phones, I use the beats in ear ones I got with hox, sounds almost better than when plugged in
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

The problem is that sammy Lebanon didn't bring it here!
So I must stick with HTC expensive solution...
Now I must choose between Stereoclip + stand = watching video clips,GPS...
Or add the factory Citroen USB Box which add USB plug to my car audio= control music with the wheel buttons + get mp3 tag on the car's screen.Though it will cost 350$.
The good thing of stereoclip is that I will be able to use it with most cars later and any BT device while the citroen usb box will only work with my actual car

no probs friend...i was trying to go for beats to be honest but the price was to much...had a look on ebay but to many fakes on there you do not really know which are real and not..but for the price of beats are not really worth it in my opinion..so when i saw the jays i have to say a purchase well worth the the money i spend

If you realy want quality i recommend any type of in-ear heaphones by Sennheiser,i always have been a Sennheiser fan and they never let me down,they are way better than Beats or Sony or any other producers,trust me,i used to work as a DJ before and thats how i found out about the Sennheiser.

I highly recommend an urBeats or a Sennheiser. I'm personally having the urBeats and an HD 418 from Sennheiser ( Which is not the best Sennheiser headphone ) and they're both stunning

You should try UrbanEars. They have a nice design and at the same time, good sound. I have the headphones one, and now I'm planning to get the earphones.

Look at
Sennheiser CX300
SoundMagic PL21 (I have these and I'm pretty happy)
UltimateEars
a-Jays the ones Goku mentioned seem pretty nice, plus they have a control.

I keep my UrBeats earphone from my previous Sensation XL, and it plays fantastically well with my HTC One X. Of cause, if you like the soft Bass more than anything else with your music.

I use and absolutely love the Sennheiser MM70i. Designed for iPhone, so unfortunately the volume keys don't work. But the pause/answer button does.

Thanks guys for all of the replies I will take a look but feel free to keep them coming!

Shure 215. Klipsch s4 might also be worth checking out.

I recently got some soundmagic e10m earphones. Really good quality. Cost £50 with microphone, but you can get the e10's as well without the microphone for £30

Ok I bought the HTC stereoclip last week from HTC Lebanon (Microage)
The price was really fair specially for my country where everything is 2-3x more expensive!
Paid 60$ :good:
I tested this car accessory with 2 devices: One without aptx(a sort of BT codec) the Cowon J3 and the other my lovely One X which has aptx.
With Cowon J3:
-Pairing was fast and good
-Sound quality is ...crappy
-Maximum volume output in my car stereo speakers (Citroen DS3) is weak
With HTC One X:
-Pairing was fast and good
-Car app open automatically BT and stream without asking,very convenient!
-Sound quality is...very good!
-Maximum volume output in my car stereo speakers is high,let say at the same level as an audio CD!
HTC car app uses a ''modded'' version of HTC Music app,the navigation is easier in case of a car holder but you get only the Beats sound enhancer,which is too bassy!
The trick I found is to go to Viperx tweaks (only in viperx rom) and replace the music app in car app by the HTC ''classic'' music app,I then gain multiple sound enhancers like SRS WOW and others :laugh:
So in conclusion, yes it will work with many BT devices like the Cowon J3(which has only earphones BT mode only) but the sound quality and volume will be weak, if you want to buy it for the aptx ready HTC One line then it's a winner.
I am going to buy the HTC car holder for One X,it will be a very nice car audio system then...

This is just a suggestion, but could you also use a USB On The Go cable?

Can you link your phone, at the same time, to your car's Bluetooth for phone calls?

If someone calls the music is automatically cut but the voice call doesn't work with stereoclip.I don't have BT on my car radio that's why I bought this nice piece.
Yes you can recharge it with a micro usb cable while it's playing but anyway the battery last 3 days if you don't turn it off

I bought this too this past weekend.

I use it 2012 Chevy Tahoe LT. The Tahoe has BT for phone calls built in. I can pair my phones between the two BT devices.
Phone - Tahoe
Media - HTC Stereoclip
The phones I'm using? Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note.
Audio sounds great!

Thats good to know, I was wondering about that.
Technically while this is an HTC product, everyone with an Android phone/device should know about this. Honestly though I'd like to see the price drop down 40%-50%. I have a BT stereo headset that allows for 3.5mm plug-in and does the same thing and it cost $30. That battery doesn't last as long (15-20hrs while streaming) but you get the point.
I bought mine at Best Buy in the Cell Phone department. I had to find it on my own because the employees are inept and looked at me funny when I explained it to them.

The big bads of JB + Sense roms?
-No more Tunin radio integration in Car App
-Only Beats mode available now for Music app whereas it's in the car app or the classic HTC Music app.
Don't know why HTC took out all the others (SRS,Equalisers,presets...)

Great set of earbuds to pair with your HTC 10

So since we didn't receive any Hi-Res earbuds in the US I was looking for some that sounded great without breaking the bank and I think I found a winner. For only $26 you can't beat the quality. I ordered mine directly from the mi.com website to ensure I didn't get some fakes. They have dual drivers also just like the HTC 10 and sound better than my beats urbeats for sure. http://www.mi.com/en/headphonespro/

I never has the piston2, but I did have a pair of the mi colorful editions which sound great also but I gave them to my son since he lost his others. And those were only $5 shipped so for the price it's really hard to beat their headphones and the quality is great.

Yeah I agree in term of bang for bux xiaomi is hard to beat.

KZ Ates are very very good with the 10 and for only 9$ delivered free with aliexpress it's crazy not to buy them.
The bundled Hi-res earphones are slightly better in terms of soundstage but a bit too much on treble side, the KZ Ates are more balanced but with an emphasis to bass though without making shades over other channels, they have a great amount of details too.
They have a memory wire perfect for sports

I've got Xiaomi Piston 2s and yes, Xiaomi makes the best price to performance earbuds on the market. I lose earbuds quite a bit, this is my second pair of Piston 2s, and I had 2 pairs of Piston 1s as well. Hopefully I don't lose these, but when I inevitably do I'll grab the new ones.

Hard to argue with xiamois price to performance. But a dynamic + BA hybrid is hard to come by for <100. Might have to try these out.
