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!

Bah!!! Brutal you are right! So obviously there will be no volume control.......lame. well Mark definitely got his info messed up that he gave me.......said there is volume control. Yeah maybe with an app!!! Hmmmmmm need to decide quickly if I should cancel my order.

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, I am looking for a good headphone to use with my HTC Touch Pro and my laptop. I will use it together with rc e100 or w100.
Very good sounds
Possible to fold to fit in a big pocket.
Over the head
Nothing or not much leaking of sounds
Possible to use in light sports like heavy walking
Good for music like classics, string instrument and Rock. Ofcource a lot of others to...
Good sound when making calls both for me and the second part
Today I user a Porta Pro headphone but I would use to get better sounds and less leaking.
I have looked (on the Net) at Sennheiser PXC300. I think the PXC350 or PXC450 would be to big?
Does anyone have suggestions for me?
I'm sorry for bad english...
Plantronics 590
Everything you asked for plus stereo bluetooth so you can have great music and crystal clear conversations. I would suggest the A package vs the E package as more comes with it.
If you don't know who Plantronics are - they are the mother company of Altec Lansing. They know sound.

They are unfortunately not manufacturing any more. I have lissened to them. I think that is the best you can get from bluebooth. I have looked for simulare BT headset but can't find any. Therefor I think I have to get a wired one.
I've got an extra pair (unopened) on deck I can sell you, but you would have to pay the shipping. Also Mennesysis wrote a great piece on Bluetooth A2DP headsets here on XDA. Search it and it should pop up.

Hello everyone,
I just received my epic touch last saturday.I can't use the control button with the repic touch. When I click the middle button, there is no action. I know that the volumn control doesn't work with android. However, the middle button can play, pause and answer call. I use my headset with my old HTC evo and it work fine. Does anyone have the same problem with me? I don't know if it's a bug or I got a defective phone. Thank you very much guys.
Does anyone use this phone with headset? Does your headset control work fine? I looked for this problem on google and found out that the Klipsch s4i work fine with the international galaxy S2 version.
Same thing happening to me...center button does not work with my s4i headset.
I tried a few headset control apps from the market, but still will not work.
Ditto here with both Skullcandy and Koss earbuds. Control button does squat except launch the stupid voice control app after holding for a few seconds. Headset Droid doesn't even detect button presses.

Thank you everyone for your reply. I just afraid that I got a defective GS2. I know the S4i is designed for ipod. However, the middle control button work fine for most of the android. I also bought the headset droid control on the market and I could do a lot of things with the control except for the volumn. SO this is a bug for GS2. Hope samsung will fix it soon.
My skullcandy button does nothing either. Oh well. I like to use the phone right now cause everyone asks "ooh what's that?"
The s4i used to work flawlessly with my evo. I was able to change volume, pause, play, and slip tracks. Now I can't do any of the above. ButI noticed that if you hold the middle button it'll bring out the voice command.
mine either
i just dont think they work with this phone

Why does the S4i work fine with the International Samsung Galaxy S2?
Hmm my s4i's have worked with my previous android phones although I rarely play music from my phone...ill check it out later today and maybe try some apps on the market...fyi only the play pause button worked..apple and their patents :-(

same goes for shure remote
I think shure only makes one remote for all. This has worked fine for me with iphone, ipad, blackberry, webos, and 2 HTC android phones.
Sucks that Samsung went this route for a crappy feature like video out on headphone jack. I knew this device was too good to be true and now I may have to swap it out for another.
As a note: the button won't answer the phone, but the mic does work in-call.

I have grown to like the Bose MIE2. They have gotten better in sound with break in and they are soooooo comfortable. You can easily wear these for hours. The downside is that they aren't isolated but, they are comfortable and i am willing sacrifice that. Another good pair are the Shure 215 and Klipsch s4's both good price and sound!
my original earphone sucks
the stock are good enough for me

I gotta agree, the S4 is magic to my ears. Might not be better than Beats By Dre, but for the price it's very good
I use a set of Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi in-ears. They sound absolutly fabulous.
Here is a link for you, although these are the ones without a mic, but otherwise they are exactly the same.
These S4 Android phones from Klipsch are around £89 in UK. dont buy headphones from just anywhere as fakes are everywhere use sites that well known and on the manufacturers approved lists if possible. I doubt there wil be fake android S4 s about but take care though.
http://asia.cnet.com/crave/klipsch-s4-android-earphones-come-with-software-62210635.htm
are the original headset have good sound?
If you are refering to the headphones that come in the box with the sgs2 they sound as bad as the ones supplied by Apple for their iPhones.
I received a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones for my birthday (Solo HD) and have paired them with my S3. Wth the Controltalk cable I have most functionality except for volume up/volume down. Was wondering if this was a software issue and has anyone found a suitable wor arou d for them.
I don't think they're compatible, check the market and you might find an app that'll help you out.
A check of the Play store using the search terms Monster Controltalk yields nothing. I am hoping that someone has developed an app outside of the store.
I just sold my ibeats with control talk.
I bought a set of Jays a-Jays One+ but dont really like them... I might just have to get a set of Monster UrBeats

If you'd use the search function, you'd know there's already a solution. Theres a cable that you buy. You hook it to your phone from one end n the other end is connected to your headphones n control talk works. Now use the search function to find it *hint its already in a topic about this subject*

hmmm, I actually did use the search function and search term was controltalk and I couldn't find this cable. Can you please link me either the post of what cable I need to get?

Are the Beats by dre executives compatible with the GS3? Meaning if the incline mic works with the phone to answer calls control volume and play music?
you should at least do a little search.
it is on the first or second page, a list of compatible headsets.
good luck on finding it. it won't be hard.

Actually I believe the issue lies in the control talk cable itself. I bought a pair of mixr and had the same issues as everyone else with an Android phone. Apple devices the wiring is done backwards inside the cable. So I got to thinking about reversing but my soldering skills aren't the same. So I thought maybe a new cable, so I found one on ebay, obviously a 3rd party beats knockoff, where it has 2 black rings on the plug and 3 rings where it gets plugged into the phone. And viola they work perfect all features Inc volume.. See the picture I uploaded and u see what I mean
