Hey guys. Recently the right side of my stock HOX earphones stopped working. It just randomly stopped working and it's a bit of a pain.
My question is whether I can claim it back on warranty. And if so, can I get a replacement direct by calling HTC Support or do I have to go to a service centre?
To be honest I don't think it's worth the hassle going to a service centre and rather just have it posted to me.
Thanks in advance!

I dont think that the headphones are under warranty, but you can try ... i didnt use them at all ... i buyed a SensationXE for my girlfriend and pic the urBeats and they are great ... maybe you should buy some Beats earphones too. I know they arent cheap, but they worth every penny

I have my urbeats from my XE. HTC probably skived giving them out with one x to keep price down.
This is a great opportunity to get some new headphones and the best value headphones I have found are the Sennheiser PX 100 - II, in the UK they retail for about £30. I use the flat eq setting and use Volume+ app which gives far better listening levels, through headphones and the speaker.
Great earphones
Hi
I picked up a pair of beyerdynamic MMX 101 Ie today and so far there are great.
I had the soundmagic mp21 and I thought there were good till the jack plug decided to break, so I decided to get a new pair but spend a little more money and after checking loads of reviews I found the Beyerdynamic mxx101 ie and Wow what a treat these one are....
Cheap ass lol just invest abit more $$$ and buy better headphones

OP I know this not what you asked but I'd just recommend buying a good pair of aftermarket headphones, as most headphones that ship with a phone are crap. If you really want to appreciate music a good aftermarket set will be a good idea. Check out the Monster Turbines or the Klipsch Image S4s for your entry into this territory.

I have just emailed them directly.
Lets see the outcome, i was NOT told about this offer.
Weird, I thought it was Vodafone giving the Headphones on pre-order and Phones 4 U were giving the medialink with pre-order.
(I may have got that the wrong way round!)

Vodafone were offering the headphones for free to the first 10,000 customers. I think they've run out now. Maybe ask in store if your still interested.

This was my understanding
along with D.A.P offering the medialink.
Yeah,i got a pair home similar.The audio quality is....amazing.The stock HTC headphones are thrown in the house somewhere..i don't think i will ever use them.Also i've noticed that besides Beats,Philips are making some pretty amazing headphones as well.I got them from a supermarket a while ago,In-ear..and they are amazing as well,and a lot cheaper than Beats.Honestly i'm not surprized.The only thing that makes Beats so expensive is the fact that there are made by Dre (Dre's company...not him personaly),but out on the market there are way better headphones than Beats (Roland,AKG,Technics,Sennheiser,etc).The best headphones i've ever had were Sennheiser and now i got some Technics RP-DH1200 witch are totaly amazing compared with any pair of Beats that are out on the market now.
I have this urbeats from Vodafone in our country and I found out that this headphones are the cheapest ones and not so good.. bad bass, ordinary cable that will damage..
Has anyone tried these headphones? I wanna known how they sound and if they're worth the purchase.

I placed an order for the eartones this am.......I will let you know when they arrive whether they work or not. I emailed iskin and asked if they worked and the rep said they work 100% for mic, volume, everything......same as headset we get with phone.......so heres hoping he wasn't wrong!!
UPDATE..........
So I got the eartones today and they do work great for an apple earbud replacement! HOWEVER, there is NO volume control........they are not even capable of it so not sure why the rep at iskin told me on two occasions that volume control works???? They sound far better than apple earbuds and the mic works great on the S3 as well as answering and declining calls, playing and pausing music. That was my beef with the apple ones as the mic didn't work on the GS3.
If its made for iPhone then most likely no

Yeah thats exactly what I thought too, but then it said it supports the S3 on the site and so I decided to inquire about it working and they claim it does......at any rate I should know is I just wasted my money in a few days.
Do u have a link or model number for the earphones
Yeah so I went to the home page then clicked on shop. Then clicked on vibe under Samsung on the left side. This brought up a page that has the GS3 cases (vibe and aura) as well as it stating the eartones are compatible with the phone too. So yeah the weird thing is there is only one type......not a model for the iPhone and galaxy........so don't worry, I, like u are quite skeptical. But I guess we will see. I still have the email from them stating they work exactly like the Samsung set we get with the phone so I guess I should have no problem returning them if they don't work.

Here is his response to me asking if they in fact work for every function.......if they don't, mark will be getting a call! Lol
I am really crossing my fingers cause I hate in ear headsets......they never fit me no matter how many tips I try.
"Hello Garret,
Thank you for your question.
The eartones absolutely work with the samsung galaxy s3 in regards to the functionality you require.
Playing music...answering and ending calls and the volume buttons are all fully functional.
Hope to see your order soon!
Thanks!

My goodness is it too much to ask for a decent set of ear buds with working mic, volume control!?!?! I just need something that doesn't block out all noise around me.......since I use them for work. As much as the apple buds sucked, they suited my needs exactly! I was very disappointed that they didn't work in the GS3. Any other bud style suggestions?
Thanks xda members!!

Do those have volume control? Probably not as it seems that is always the kicker. Thanks for the suggestion......they are less than $10 so I will likely buy a pair just to try out.
The link I give for black earphone have volume control for asking galaxy s3
Guys, I thought I would post this here as well so you can get my review for the eartones........
Hey fellow xda members I just wanted to share my take on the iSkin Eartones that I just received today. These are great for anyone who doesn't like in-ear headsets. The fit in your ear is very similar to the apple earbuds which for me was a huge plus because I use my headset mostly for business calls etc while I drive (which in-ear were too unsafe as they block out all outside sound). The sound quality is actually very good for an earbud. There is good lows and highs and there is an included set of foam covers to put over the tips which would give you better sealing of the ear to further enhance the sound for the music junkies out there.
They have some flex in the earbud part which allows it to fit very well in different ear shapes.
The sound quality on the other end of a phone conversation is extremely good according to my business partners.
The only downside for me is that there is no volume control. This is a letdown since the rep I spoke with at iSkin prior to ordering these said to me on two occasions that they had volume control and that it worked flawlessly with the GS3.......not sure where he was pulling that info from but he is wrong.
They are $39.99 for www.iSkin.com
Also, the shipping was super fast. I am in Calgary AB and they shipped form Toronto to me in less than a day!
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Yep........I ordered a pair of those........so we will see how they work and sound. The guys at iSkin said they would fully refund my shipping and price for the Eartones if I didn't like them since they misinformed me about the volume control. I will likely keep them though as they do sound pretty good. But I have my fingers crossed the HTC ones will work for everything and not sound like crap.
Hi there people, I am looking for to buy a nice set of in-ear headphone for my HTC one X, however I have realized by trying a cuple that i have here at home, the sound is actually really bad when I use a different set of headphones, nevertheless when i use the original ones that came with the phone it sounds better, but, to be honest for me they do not seem to be the best ones, I am always using the same app for music which is PowerAmp which I really love. Now what I need to know is that if some other users have experienced the same situation, not to say problem, cause i really do not want to buy a new and perhaps a expensive set of in-ear headphone if they are going to be as crappy as the rest i have tried so far. Any sugestions, advices are always welcome, and, if you also want to share and recomend your experiences with other headphones i am always willing to read about it.
Thanks and Regards
Well since the HOX is made with beats inside wouldn't it make sense getting beats headphones? Just saying.

It doesn't say what kind of headphones, could mean the ones that come with the phone anyway.
This would a great deal though.

It says 'urBeats Earphones by Dr. Dre' which are a $99 value. I'll edit the title to help point that out
I'm not sure which come with the phone, I haven't gotten mine yet
I recently bought HTC one and it is a really awesome phone but the issue was that I did not got the red tip earphones with it .rather I got the ear phones which I had with my previous phone HTC desire c. I asked from the site I bought and they told me that in my region HTC does not provide those red tip ear phones. I am in Pakistan and the phone has UAE warranty . I wanted to ask that is it true and has any one found the same same issue or anyone who can help.

The red tip buds are very much crap, some report them as better than this, however, if comparing to the ipod or apple series, yes they are ****ing awesome, compared to Shure's or other dedicated ims they suck like a cheap whore!

umm, yeah, compared to expensive headphones they likely aren't better. But saying they are crap is hyperbole. I've used numerous headphones and these rank up there close to $50 buds easily.
T-Mobile is the only carrier that doesn't include ear buds.
As to the quality of the ones provided, they're pretty decent for included headphones. Nothing like my more expensive sets, but pretty good for free.

I LOVE the headphones I got with my HTC One, unfortunately I lost them somewhere so now need to get another pair.
My partner and her brother were so impressed with them (when I still had them) that they both ordered a pair to use with their HTC One X's
