I dont see why they wouldn't, I've been looking at these:
http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheise...ivate_headsets_mobile_music_502841?Open&row=2
But ouch at the price, same with those Klipsch ones, wow!

Just done a bit more research and I dont think the Klipsch ones will work with anything not Apple.
Image S4i FAQs
Will the Image S4i work with any cell phone?
The Image S4i is designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone 3GS. It will work with the iPhone 3G and first generation iPhone, but with limited functionality. The S4i’s volume up and down feature will not work on these older products. Because the S4i features an Apple chip, we cannot guarantee what level of functionality it will have with other cell phone brands.

dam thats a real shame, any how those headphones had top reviews and customer ratings. I know its a bit steep but worth a bit more i think.

I'll let you know how I get on with the Sennheiser's on this thread in good time.. anything you find out post here too please... I'm not happy at all with the set that are included so eager to upgrade asap.

guys dont waste money on them,.
Get the NuForce NE-7M
they are awesome headphones and the it has a mic built in
for half of the price, people say best IEMs for under $50 along with the Imetal 590s which you should also look at. as they both sound as good as more expensive headphones

Thankyooooo!
Most important accessory be the handsfree and you've just solved it for me
hope the button to answer calls works.. I dont mind not having volume control

They are good for Bass music so everything apart from classical
for something less bassy get the Maximo IP-HS2.

Another vote for the nuforce - they sound better than the klipsch - well worth it and the button works as does the Mic...

i am looking at headphones also.. where's the best place to order the nuforce-ne-7m from? how would they compare to say the sennheiser cx-500's?

SKs are really quite bad, if your used to cheap headphones then they will be ok sounding but if u heard NE7/NE6 or soundmagic pl50 or maximo im590/hs2 then you would never go back.

I got the (Logitech) Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi
They work perfectly as they only have 1 single button:
- Press: Accept/End call or Play/Pause music while playing.
Great bass and an acceptable (sealed) in-ear fit (there are 3 sizes, I needed the largest)

Regards the Nuforce, just to check, they provide identical controls to the original ones that come with the handset?

Headphones /w Mics (Ibeats)

I figured I let my loss be to the benefit of the forum. I bought the dre ibeats can confirm that they do not work with the Atrix at all. i also have the first generation beats by dre that don't work as well. I know there are newer models of the large ones so I don't know if it would be the same for all of them. I am getting the bose MiE2 later tomorrow, and i will tell you guys if they work. If any one else has tried getting high quality sounding headphones to work with the Atrix please chime in.

Lol I'm not trying to be a troll or anything but Bose and Beats By Dre are NOT high quality sounding headphones. Try some Klipsch or Shure.

Best way to no troll is simply to say what headphones you think are better. maybe say why and provide a model number for people to look it up. Thanks in advance if you take the time to provide the information. I think it would prove very constructive to the thread.
P.S. After some preliminary searching the shure's that would work are the 100 series and are of lower quality. I used to have 200 series. The Klipsch are pretty much the same. All the best ones only control apple products. I'm hoping to be proven wrong so i can buy great headphones.

Hmm.... i don't recall the headphone jack actually supporting a microphone input as well. Mind if i ask why you're searching for such headphones?
Not sure if they have any headphones with a microphone.... but i'm quite fond of Sennheiser's offerings. I have the CX 300 noise cancelling earbuds, and while i don't use them very often for listening to music (Unlike the odd people i see driving down the highway with the telltale white earbuds in their ears.... idiots... both for the obvious reasons, and because Apple's earbuds blow), the times i do i really enjoy them. They sound great.

I'll take a look. To answer your question. I take public transit to and from college. I hate hearing people on the train. I also hate the interruption of a call where I have to take off my studio headset. I would rather have a small pair that allow to answer the call, and then get back to what I was doing quickly.

Guys seems that this headset works with Atrix..

considering on buying one of this? did someone tried?

I can confirm that the RF3 ENVi Natural Wood Stereo Earbuds microphone works with the Atrix. Very good sound quality as well, better than some Klipsch s2s I had!

I can confirm that the bose mie2 doesn't work either.

His app seems to work for me. Using Altec Lansing uhp336 (rebadged Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3) with the cable for the Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10vi and the button and mic appear to work.

They aren't the top of the line, but the mic on these skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headphones work well for me. w ww.skullcandy.com/shop/fmj-shoe-blue.html
And they sound great for the price.

I'll probably use them very rarely and would like something cheap (<$15). Any suggestions?

Just so you know, on the skullcandy headphones, you'll need the headphone button control app for the in-line headphone button to control your music.

FYI, tested BOSE MIE2i headset - mic works, the buttons do not. I tried the above mentioned Headset app, but no luck with buttons either. This sucks a bit :/

meelectronics m11p work fine on my atrix

any comment on how some of the known functioning (mic and buttons) headphones/earbuds are for running and working out? I'd like to put my atrix in place of my ipod sometimes while running but I hate the earbuds coming loose and having to constantly adjust them.

For reasons that don't matter here, I got a set of Klipsch s4i earphones/mic.
Klipsch said up front the control buttons will only work with the iPhone line, says there's a magic ichip actually in the control stick.
So while none of the buttons (NONE AT ALL) work on the Atrix, the sound quality, clarity and definition, is astounding, better than a lot of expensive audio gear I've heard over the years, and the mic functions 100% on calls as well.

just wondering what you guys use.

so far i've found these two guys: Klipsch Gaming earbuds, and Klipsch s4a's. I hear the s4a's have issues with some phones though.
I should mention I use power amp

problem solved. gonna use the ones that came with our phones. bass is solid, and so far they are pretty good at blocking noise.
if i find the mic/vol controls to not be worth it, i'll just buy a pair of half decent earbuds without mic control. if the OEM samsung earbuds dont provide me with mic control that I like, I doubt any expensive off market buds will do me justice.

I use the original earbuds that came bundled with this phone and Poweramp music player and the sound quality is more than excellent for me. Nice deep bass especially when you turn up the setting on Poweramp.

If you want BOSE, they make a mobile headset that has mic and volume controls. It's called the MIE2i. Also, Beats make a pair called the iBeats. They are an in ear headset with GREAT sound. I own both and use them interchangeably. I will say though I give the MIE2i's a slight edge because the eargels are the most comfortable I've ever worn.

BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment

Klipsch S4A, made for android. S4i sounds good, when mine need replacing, I'll buy S4A's.

I did the same and since I don't need the Mic, I started using my Sony ear buds. If I get a call, I just pull the phone out and answer, I have to see who's calling anyways.

As far as in-ears under $100 are concerned (which Im assuming your asking for) I like the NuForce NE-700M over the Klipch s4a. Ive had them both and i feel like the highs are more crisp and it has a bit more low frequency extension.
Also if you care about bass more than clarity the AIAIAI Swirl have plenty of bump and an excellent asthetic.

I use head-direct RE-1's along with cmoybb amp there is crisp sound with great bass.

Do either of those work with Android as well as S4A? To me, that's a big selling point. My S4i's are perfectly suitable sound-wise, but the lack of control sucks.

The NuForce has one button/mic combo. One press pauses/plays, two presses skips the track. The button is honestly a little flimsy though so if button is your number one concern
As for the AIAIAI it looks like the new one has 3 buttons but i cant attest to how well it works as i had an old version of the swirl with only one. I can say that AIAIAI's whole deal is that they are really well designed as far as the tangible parts so i would assume that they took a lot of care in designing the buttons.

what earphones set for Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-t989 has best microphone ?
hi,
I've already lost the earphones that came with my new samsung galaxy s 2 SGH-t989. 1 of the reasons I got this phone was for the vlingo voice-operability that makes it good for use while driving. Does anyone know what the best ( or at least a good) earphone set is for this phone, especially with respect to the microphone quality?
thank you in advance.

monster has a BYO headset adapter w/mic that works
picked it up or $10. bought 2-one for walking around and one for the car's Aux-in jack.

what's the OP's budget? can never go wrong with a nice pair of sennheiser cans.

Samsung Galaxy S3 headset for Galaxy S2

Hey guys,
I want to give you a quick review of the great headset from Samsung, which originally comes with the Galaxy S3 but is also compatible for the Galaxy S2. I bought mine from this link:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007SXEGJI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
They have this white Apple look, which looks kind of better than black in my opinion. At the beginning the sound quality wasn`t so great but with my equalizer setting you can see below they sound so great that I had to start a thread and inform people about them
The bass is amazing. Really deep and satisfying. Treble is also great. Mixed together you have an amazing music experience
What makes this headset even better are the controls on the headset. You have 3 buttons. The + and - buttons are stock for making music louder and quieter. The one on the bottom let`s you pick up calls or pause/play music.
The great thing is, that you can change the functions of those 3 buttons with apps like "Headset Droid". I changed the + button to next song and the - button to previous song. It was really annoying with my old headset with one button because you had to double or triple click for next and previous song and that often didn`t worked out because of false timing etc.
So I really recommend this great Headset from Samsung because it`s very cheap and has great functionality. I bought mine for only 7, 44 Euro
You can find the great equalizer app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer&hl=de

Cool, they look good. Thanks for the review mate
Edit: oops, image verification in the title.. :/

its true the headset are great
me i got em when i bought my gtab+
and btw there are some roms that have volume skip song enabled when you long pres the -+ buttons

how the sound quality compared to the s2 earbud? Is it really worth upgrading to the s3 earbud?

is it the same as the headset bundle with the galaxy note?
saw my friend using the headset on his galaxy mini...works fine

I'm sorry but what's the point of this post, all Samsung devices from S2/S2X/&S3 have TREMENDOUS earbuds but one HUGE flaw Samsung devs did was not allow the control talk to work properly with their own music player? Say your listening to music ok yes the call will come through BUT when you want to control what the earbuds do while listening to your music like stop/next song/volume up or down/& voice command, I could only do everything I wanted was by purchasing Poweramp & Headset Control so yeah

I bought the S3 headset from eBay a few weeks ago for around $7 Canadian. It's pretty darn good considering some of the similar replacements you find in stores go for about 2 to 4 times the price!
The only beef I had was that it didn't come with different size earbuds. But that's easily fixed by using the old ones from S2

I was using custom rubber things (the one that came with my monster earbuds) with my S2 headset and it was clearer and the bass was more punchy and sharp .
The sound in the S3 is a bit weaker (vocals, treble) but there's more deep bass. I prefer the media control function of the S3 though.

In AOKP and CM based Roms you can skip songs by pressing and holding the louder and quieter button of the device, which automatically makes the S3 Headset a great choice (at least for me) because there are buttons for louder and quieter on the headset itself, which means you can pause/play songs with the button for taking a call, switching to next/previous song by pressing and holding one of the louder/quieter buttons and you can make the music louder and quieter of course. For me this is especially great when riding a bike. You can control your music from your headset completely and no need to take your smartphone out of the pocket.

Should have thought of eBay... Gonna order now!

Simply can't believe cheap original Samsung earbuds can ever outperform quality earbuds (with or w/o mic). Won't waste my money on this as I have never had original Samsung earbuds that was worth. SE on the other hand is a true gem on occasion (I still have short corded earbuds from W800 and they sounds like a dream, but nothing compared to my Creative/A-Jays/Sony/Sennheiser buds, let alone exotic stuff like HQ Denon's etc. which I do not own).
Sorry, I can't grant my trust in cheap stuff, though it's good you folk are enjoying your music with these. I believe my ears are still good and I never heard Samsung earbuds sound "right" (ever).
Ergo... each to his own, but quality can't be exceptional for 4-10 bucks, no matter what someone might think.
ps: not at OP and his choice.
pps: FLAC FTW... or at least good HQ VBR MP3 (V0 or 320VBR), no 128k stuff...

The quality is very good for the price. Don't forget it's just not headphones, it's a headset with 3 buttons... At that price how can you complain?!

I buy the same on ebay. Works fine for the price. You can use headset controls with it.

Galaxy S2 Headphones are really good, so I expect no less from the S3's. Thanks for the review... :good: :good:

I have tried both S2 and S3 headset.
S2 headset has better sound quality.
When I tried S3 headset I even thought it was not correctly pluged as it sounded like it was not stereo!
Really, it is great to have those 3 buttons but I cannot stand the sound quality. I have never had so bad sound quality before with any of earbuds I got! :crying:

May have to try these. Thanks

which brand is very good for Samsung galaxy S2?

I use the Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum / HiDefDrum with Remote
http://www.atomicfloyd.com/hidefdrum
I've been using them for about 2 years and love the sound, they've been good on the S2 and provide crisp clear highs and not headache inducing bass. I'd say they're about a 7/10 on bass (on levels of overwhelmingness) so its comfortable for long listening but satisfying levels of lows.
They have fabric based cords so its pretty good for avoiding tangles and relatively easy to detangle.
They do come with a 1 button answer/end and microphone however it is about 14 inches from the earpiece so letting it dangle the other end does say the phone call seems to be a bit quiet until I bring the microphone closer

Sorry guys coming from Nokia Symbian to S2 android I had a set of Monster Nokia purity in ears bargain on eBay.
Have to say they sound awesome on the S2. And work well for calls too although the volume/ answer inline button does not work with the Galaxy.

I thought there was no hope for the S2, when it came to playing my mp3's. The i300 sennheiser work excellent, not too expensive either!! Highly recommend.
