JAYS a-JAYS Four headphones compatible with Galaxy S II?

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying JAYS a-JAYS Four headphones for use with my Galaxy S II. I'm quite sure they will work as far as sound is concerned, but what about on-cable controls?
Anybody tried these with our favourite phone yet? Alternatively, do programs like Headset button control or Headphone droid recognize all of the buttons to enable full use of this headset?
Thanks for answering

I've tried these earphones so far:
Shure SE215 (with the cable with buttons)
Beats Tour with ControlTalk
Klipsch image S4i
Play/Pause button works as will the mic if there is one. Volume up and volume down buttons do not work. Double press/triple press to skip/go back one song also works well with PowerAmp. I'm sure there are other music players that work as well.
If those have in-line buttons, I'm positive the play/pause will work.

Thanks for answering.
Did you try any of the aforementioned apps to make all buttons work?
I'd like to have 100% functionality if at all possible...

My wishlist is the same as yours, but still no joy. If only my Nokia WH-701
could work..... (only sound comes through, none of the controls work).
As long as Google does not address the issue (it's a native Android problem),
none of the manufacturers can do anything. For example, Klipsch have the S4A
model specifically for Android, but it needs its own app to work, plus it's a one-button
headset (meaning 2-3-4-xxx presses for whatever function). I find that
TOTALLY RIDICULOUS.

That's why my idea is to use these apps to override for example long press volume button on headset to skip tracks, etc.
In fact I did just order Klipsch S4i and I'll try to make it work 100% with some app like I mentioned above.
I'll report the results here

In the end I got Klipsch S4i headphones, so sound is great, but only central button works for Play/Pause and mike works for calls. Volume keys don't work even with extra apps like Headset Droid.

i read before, dont remember exactly what post, that some rom support htc headphone that can skip play pause volume etc

No three button headset support for SGSII
Hi all,
I can confirm I haven't found (yet) the way to get the all three buttons on a-Jays Four headphones on the Samsung Galaxy S2. Btw, the headphones are great and that wide lead is really tangle-free.
Anybody, any leads?
I tried PowerAmp - the center button works fine, you can do multiple actions with it as double click is supported for example.
Headset button controller apps will give you the center button support for any apps, and you can set a variety of things to do with it, for such a small price (2.99GBP), it's a great thing. You can even have something like "Say current time" with quadruple button click! In theory, you can setup 8 functions just with this one center button but beware, making "triple click and hold" is ultra tricky... so let's say, you can easily program 4-6 functions, so, do you really need the extra two buttons...?
Anyways, if anybody knows how to get the other two buttons to work, please tell...
Is it better then to go for a-Jays One + with one button instead for a-Jays Four? I would say no, i am sure somebody will add the support for the other two buttons at one point, seems like hardware-wise the phone should be supporting this (as apparently using same type of plug as iDevices).

i have these earphones and thers no way to use the three buttons. ajay has an android app to configure the headset but you can only use the center button, so you have to do all the tasks with it. But i think its the same with every earphone cuase almost 99% are made for iphone. Actually i nver so one say its made for android

Just checked with my a-jays four - "Jays headset control" app works like a charm. Need to get use to it ( volume up / down controls ) but - totally worth it

From my experience:
Headphones with mic, only the answer button will work.
For a louder sound it´s necessary at least 32 ohms headphones.

thanks for the info man. for now am confused what to choose between sound quality between Beats tour w control talk and klipsch s4i for SGS2. (where infact those two are specifically made for apple ) but at least i know now that it even work for SGS2 (i dont really care if the volume button work as long as the mic is fully functional)
Any advice what to choose or your personal preference? thanks a lot.

Did anyone see the the post on the Jays site about them teaming up with Samsung?
Jays has signed an agreement with Samsung, the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones. The deal sees Jays and Samsung team up for a number of joint promotional activities during February 2012.
The Swedish headphone manufacturer has long had a strong presence in Asia and the new partnership with Samsung will give Jays a further boost. Samsung is the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones by volume, with a 24% market share and 28 million phones sold in Q3 2011 alone. The cooperation will see Jays’ award-winning v-JAYS being marketed together with selected products across Samsung´s 691 stores and with its other retailers in Korea during February.
“The agreement with Samsung is a great boost for our profile in a key target market. It’s also an incredible endorsement of Jays’ unrivalled quality and our continued success. Coming from the world's largest manufacturer of smartphones it’s a great compliment,” comments Rune Torbjörnsen, CEO of Jays AB (publ). “Our Mobile Music concept has proven to be a very popular initiative and the response has been staggering. We’re continuing with our mission to deliver the highest quality and most musical sound to any media player and this collaboration with Samsung takes us even closer to this goal.”

I'm hoping it means better headphone support in the future!

It would be rather good they do something for existant models too, seeing their teaming up with Samsung. Maybe an insight in some API could do the miracle (although I'm waiting for my a-jays one button model to arrive)?
Would gladly see this possible right of the bat and not a year afterwards...

I'm thinking of getting the S4As as well, but tbh it doesn't really matter that they're made to be 100% compatible. They only have one button.. so it's the same thing as the other headphones.

Hi,
I emailed Jays with this:
"Dear Jays,
I have bought your excellent earphones - a-Jays Four. My question is, as you have now partnered with Samsung, are you going to release an Android application so that I could use all three buttons (not just middle one) with a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone please?
If you would, your sales of the earphones would rocket up as you probably know the SGSII is extremely popular Android phone and there are no earphones with working three buttons on it.
Yours dedicated fan,"
and got this back
"Dear Lukasz,
We have not partnered with Samsung more than that they sell our products in their Samsung stores in South Korea.
The a-JAYS Four iPhone is made for Apple and the volume buttons is hardware controlled to Apples products so they cannot work with other products. But check out our JAYS Headset Control app that gives you volume control and more and for free.
// Regards JAYS"
So no, don't expect three button support anytime soon. I have learned to live with one button and multiclicks and its ok.
Regards,

Mod
Hi,
it looks like somebody has modded iPhone earphones and these work with Android devices, whether the mode would work on the aJays and with Samsung Galaxy S2 nobody knows, if you manage to do it, let me know.

If I'm reading an ebook in with my Kobo app, the remote's button's don't "work", also it always says "Unknown" for song info. If I lock my phone they work fine.
On CM9 RC1.

iphone
I used the headset came with the iphone, but mic doesn't work, does anyone have the same problem?

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.

Ya they are also good but they also have only one button on the remote and do all the functions through the provided software!

I've tested today in 4 Sony's and HTC brand stores, Sony works like Ipone headphones - u can listen, but can't control, only one button active - start/stop. The same with HTC RC E190, only DrDre Monster in-ear recognized by stock player and PlayerPro - you can FF/Rewind/Start/Stop and answer a call plus better sound than others. There is no way to control sound level (volume) by DrDre monster as far as i know, i will try to resolve this by the ProPlayer settings.

I have heard that the HTC RC E190 works with the one x from the other threads and the sound quality is also good for its really cheap price !
But I personally use the urBeats that come with the sensation xe they work well and sound quality is good in my opinion !
And to control the volume I use the remote control app with the beats headset so the play/pause button can be used to control the volume..Press 5 times to decrease and 6 times to increase it !

Cool!!! Thanx, it's really works!

i have a phiaton ps 20 bluetooth headset. they are semi in-ears. you can adjust volume, fast forward or back songs and answer or decline phone calls with them. sound quality is actually pretty good. they can be pricey (in the $120+ range on amazon) but i did see them somewhere for about $70. my only complaint is no voice dialing function.

love my Jays a-Jays One+.. even though there's only 1 button, most audio players these days have options to utilize the single button with single/double/triple clicks so doesn't bother me in terms of control. and the main point, they sound great.. way better than the urBeats (or any Monster/Beats in-ear headphones for that matter) ... and are way cheaper

i have the sony mw600 bluetooth stereo headset. it links up to phone and controls music etc and also calls from it. also can just be a stand alone radio if needed. very pleased with it.

I'm using Bose ie2 (I guess) - the ones with remote control but not for iPhone...
In combination with headset button controller.... I really like it

I bought some NOCS NS400 - 3 buttons remote, but it's made for the iPhone: I can only use one button. I am very happy with the way they sound.
NOCS also has NS200 made for Android with a 3 buttons remote.

I'm currently using urBeats (came with my One X)....they sound pretty good and the remote buttons works perfectly...i've also got a Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headset but I haven't paired it up yet to test
For those who said that buttons don't work on their headset, I would purchase/download Headset Button Controller (or even download the trail version first). You can assign commands to the non working buttons on your headset remote...it's great for all those headsets that are designed to work on iPhone

I just bought NOCS NS200 as per the recommendation above. Got it for 40USD.

Got a pair of white NoiseHush NX80 for about £15. Awesome effect combined with the beats audio plugin on my One X. The a-Jays android app works with this. So double click skips to next track and triple click goes backwards. Click and hold increases volume and double click and hold decreases volume.
Gives an excellent performance and on the cheap.

Wired Headphones with remote control

Hello,
I've bought the SGS2 a few days ago. The headphones have a quite nice sound.
Although play/pause and next track aren't OK for me. I'd need a possibility to
control the volume.
Could you pls recommend an alternative (and a wide spread one , so I could find
that also in my country) wired headset, which would support also volume control
on the SGS2.
I have been searching on this forum, but I didn't find a clear answer, rather just
workarounds or talks about workarounds...
Thank you!

Not sure myself on what you could do, but you could try using JKay's app (must be purchased through play store and have framework) to enable "Volume Buttons Toggle Sound" maybe that might fix your problem? I have wired earphones myself with the mic and volume bit and I can change volume by pressing and change track by holding in.
Hopefully maybe someone else will post something helpful but this is what I would do. Good luck!

Hello D3_ and thanks for your reply...
Your link points to a different topic - it is about people who want to keep the microphone of S2 and want to attach another headphones
(which don't have a microphone). I just accidentally found a semi-solution for me - I just looked at the S3 headphones of a friend and I
was very surprised to find out, that there are 3 buttons - one long button for volume + / - and another button for accepting phone calls.
I have immediately tested it and everything works under AstroPlayer, which is the player I'm currently using.
But unfortunately not everything is that simple as it sounds. It seems that Samsung makes these headphones only in white, as my
friend's one are white, despite of the fact that his phone is pebble blue. And my SGS2 is noble black, so you can imagine that I
wouldn't want white headphones :-/
I'll try to check Nokia headphones these days...

I have the white ones, as they came with my Galaxy Tab 7 +.
Apart from being white (and I'm not snobbish enough to really care), they're perfect.
Great sound quality, volume controls & on/off/skip track functionality...

Get a HTC RC E160 wired headset, all buttons work (though the left and right buttons changed function when I upgraded from GB 2.3.5 to ICS 4.0.3; they were skip in GB, but they became volume with ICS). I cut the earpieces off one set and soldered a 3.5mm stereo inline jack socket in their place so I could use nicer headphones with Mic and headset controls.

I personally LOVE Jay's headsets. I've got a pair of the A-JAYS earbuds with remote and in line mic, awesome sound quality, but my model has a one button remote. No big deal, their companion Android application provides additional functionality that let's you click&hold and do other patterns for different functions like volume and seeking. I do know they make a 3-button version too, but typically it costs $20 more. Available online in North America and most of Europe.

darkstar wrote just few posts above yours he has a pair.
I have a-JAYS One+ and I can not say anyhting bad about them. Great sound clarity and good basses, can be tweaked as to press/doublepress timing etc with their free apk which provides multiple options for controlling them better. Simply great piece of earphones. Mic is working great too. and above all, tangle free cable and great chinch is giving great user experience for me too.
Either these or more expensive versions will do, though Klispch S2 are great (tried them out, but settled with a-JAYS) etc... I tossed original earphones in the trash, seeing total failure Samsung is exercising when they include such POS with so high end phone. Same goes for S3, even though you see people posting how great those are. It is not so for me, and I tried them just to be sure I'm right. 3 of my friends has these with their SGS3 and I tried them - shallow sound with no good fidelity for me (phone calls are ok, but calling party is sounding like cheap radio for me). Well, guess what? They tried my a-JAYS One+, Creative Aurvana buds too, my Sony MDR-Z700 (original) headphones and even my old SE in_ear HPM70 short corded buds - all far better then POS Samsung is including with their top gamma phones.

[Q] Earphones with working volume buttons?

Hey guys
I've tried alot of earphones
iBeats
BeatsPro with CT
Sennheiser MM30i etc.etc.
None of the volume +/- buttons work, but it works perfectly on iphone...
Anyone got any ideas, links etc for a pair of earphones?
Besides that, earphone thread!
What earphones do you use with the Z1? Is it good?

I'm using sony's SBH50 and i really enjoy them.

The iOS headsets don't work because there is some chip in them that controls the buttons which works only with iOS, the call button works without it.

it doesn't work with my iBeats sadly... thanks for the input tho I'll try on my sennheisers later

I bought the Sony Earbuds (MDREX100IP) and obviously they don't work with volume keys. That is just ridiculous. You spend a lot of money for one if the most expensive phone out there and you cannot get the most basics functions. Just sick.

Hi,
I've got a Bose ae2 headset and the same problem: volume keys do work on ios but not on android, whatever your device is.
I've tried several smartphones (htc, Samsung, sony) and none of them handle those keys.
I've also tried Smart Keys but i don't see any option relevant to volume keys.
I quit trying to solve that because i think it's just hardware, on the headset side.
Maybe with the fact that Android devices greatly outnumber ios devices, sennheiser, bose and others will reconsider this problem on future models.

Most earbuds tend to be programmed specifically for Apple devices, unfortunately.

Wut
I'm using the earphones that came with my sister's s4. All of the buttons work with ALL functions (pause, play, vol +, vol -, double tap next song, triple tap previous song, long press setting)

Asked this question on Google+ and other Xperia owners mentioned the Sony Smart Headset MH1C will work with Z1, with all functions (mic, play/pause, track changes, volume). Sadly, this headset appears to be have been discontinued but you might be able to find on Ebay.
I find it somewhat ridiculous that Android smartphones can't agree on some sort of standard, like there is on iPhone/iPod. The one thing I miss most when I switched from iPhone to my Z1 is the inability to control the volume on my headphone remote. And trying to find a compatible set is nearly impossible, whereas every headphone maker out there makes compatible sets for iPhone/iPod, including Sony themselves!

I have the MH1C, as it came with my phone and can confirm that it works no problem. All buttons including vol down, vol up, answer/play/pause as well as the mic function properly.
Has any of you heard or tried Fiio LU2 adapter?

I have not had a chance to test it myself and there are mixed reviews about it. Supposedly it does exactly what you need, meaning you can use iphone earphones on android phones.

Hey guys
I've tried alot of earphones
iBeats
BeatsPro with CT
Sennheiser MM30i etc.etc.
None of the volume +/- buttons work, but it works perfectly on iphone...
Anyone got any ideas, links etc for a pair of earphones?
Besides that, earphone thread!
What earphones do you use with the Z1? Is it good?

I am actually using Sennheiser MM70s. I find it to be a very good solution for my xperia z1, the control button works perfectly (next song, last song, pause/play, long press, ...). In addition, its volume button works on its own (it is not controlling the Xperia's volume, but controlling the headphone's volume instead).
I leave the phone volume at 40-50% then controll the output from the headphones.
The sound quality is amazing (specially the bass response),The mic quality is excellent as well.

Thanks for the heads up, might invest in a pair or two of them... (got a alot of earphones already but whatever )
I'll buy the Sony Smart Headset MH1C when I get my Z1 back, thanks @richardchiu
I'll report if it works!

Sony Xperia Z1 refuses all Apple headphones. But most brand headphones can work for Z1.

Absolutely love them. Volume buttons work flawlessly.
Be sure to buy the original ones!
got mine from here.

SmartKey
Well, I use Smart Key app, in order to get the earphone button configured the way i want it too. It is not the most complete option, but it worked fine to me.
