Headphones (with mic)

Hey guys, today I tried a pair of apple and sony headphones both with mic and controls. Both headphones were detected by the Aria and showed the little headset icon in the notification bar. Audio worked perfect, but the microphone did not work on either set. I then opened the htc ones and they worked perfectly fine. the apple and sony's both show the mic is being detected but no sound is picked up. Any Ideas as to why this may be? Anyone else try any other headphone brands?

Having the same issue!

These guys! My headphones cost me around 120 bucks! Granted I did get some use out of them with the iphone, but come on...I even asked the at&t rep that sold me the phone specifically about that.What an uber-douche.let me know if you find anything else out. Or a decent pair of headphones that will comply with htc standards.lol

I want the skull candy 50/50 they are about 40 bucks, I guess I'll email skullcandy next. Worst come to worst I buy them and return them right away!

Were the sony's made for the iphone? I thought that the iphone was the one with the non-standard writing... So if the sony's were also made for the iphone then I would question whether it was htc or apple who is non-standard.

Keep us updated with that, I was looking at those as well

I purchased a set of iFrogz EarPolution headphones at the recommendation of the sales rep at Best Buy. They work fine. The single button controls several functions depending on the mode of the phone.
1) it acts as the start / pause mode of the default media player. Apparently it will play what ever is in queue on the player
2) answer the phone on incoming call or hang up in an existing call
3) long hold and no active call goes to the standard voice activation commands
I have been using these for over 2 weeks and they are pretty good.

Just fyi, I'm not sure of the model number, but the headphones that I was referring to in my earlier post are made by klipsch. They are definitely high end headphones, and they definitely do not work with phone calls on the aria! The only button that does work for the music player, is the center button. And all it does its turn the music on and off.I've tried several different pairs with a mic, the only ones that work are the pair that came with the phone. I'm also assuming that the klipsch etc... were made for the iphone as that was my last phone and they all worked. so I'm guessing that apple has the non standards. Final answer, if they work with the iphone, they WON'T work with htc.

Check out the skullcandy website and look up the FMJ
I have these, I can confirm the mic works though it is quite loud. Plus, music sounds great on these.
I'll also let you in on a secret, that may or may not work anyway. When your headphones are out of warranty, and cannot be worked on anymore, they give you a coupon code for 50% off of a new pair, generally you can find these codes online, I have bought a few pairs this way in the past.

Thought I would mention that the Scosche HP155m do not work with aria, the headphones do but not the mic. Seems strange as the plug matches closely with the stock earbuds.
Anyway, felt I should mention it

I got a set of Klipsch Image S2M from tigerdirect.com and they seem to work quite nicely, both as headset and microphone. The noise cancelling is due to the tight fit in the ear (multiple sizes included), but works well. There is a single button on the mic and it controls play/pause when using doubleTwist media player and hangs up the phone when on a call.

So different headphones WILL work w/ the aria. Right?

for listening to audio, any headphones work fine. for having audio/voice, only certain ones will work.

[Q] Bluetooth STEREO Headset A2DP

Hi, I am planning to buy a bluetooth stereo headset mainly for listening to music.
Therefore, I want the headset to have A2DP and the headset button's can function properly and sync with the captivate.
My first choice is the motorokr s305... I want to verify first if the buttons (play/pause, volume up/down, and mainly NEXT/PREVIOUS button) are working properly with captivate...
By priority, I want to be able to 'next' and previous my songs, mute/volume button, and then play/pause button...
If there are any other recommendations, please let me know!
TIA

I have been using the sony ericsson hbh-ds205 for a couple years now and it works perfectly with captivate. Has all those features your looking for but the best part is you can plug in your own headphones cause it has 3.5mm jack. Which is great cause i can also hook it up to my home stereo system via rca to 3.5mm and hook it up to my car stereo. Has Mic and the play button is play/pause/and answer. With a clip too, to clip to shirt or wherever. Music quality is excellent too
Battery life is great too 8hrs continuous music playback (i think) and like 15 days of standby. Seems like more though I get two days of music listening at work on one charge.
Check it out. Might be hard to find now. I only saw em on Amazon and eBay. I recently got another one from eBay for 40 bucks cause my wife put it through the wash it still worked too just wouldn't hold a charge after that.

thanks for the reply.. but the bluetooth that u recommend is very rare on the market... T_T

T-Mobile just got in some Plantronics Backbeat 903+ stereo headsets. I bought one and it works great with my Vibrant and Captivate.
Works great with Pandora, track forward play/pause and volume up/down.
Give it a look, they're $99.

just got the motorola rokr s10 today and love it, sounds great and synced right up with my captivate of cog 2.2 v6

look up amazon for reviews
i bought one and it works well for me

I have the Motorola S9-HD pair, and they are awesome. My wife has the Backbeat 903's. I can say that the S9's are WAY better.

Wow dude just saw that i think im gonna get that now for sure cause im such a fan of the old one and the new one has even better battery life full buttons instead of a rocker and caller id...sick! Im sold im convinced these are the best bluetooth devices for music listening. Thanks for the tip!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

so, with the sony erricson one, you pause play volume up and down using the thing that u clipped on your clothes? i dont like the idea of touch volume control, but i almost never adjust my volume so it will not be a problem with me, lol...
im going to think about this headset, very interesting! the only down for me is, i dont like plug type headset because i dont know why my left ear cant "plug" the headset in, it always came off, even though i already put smaller rubber cap thingy so it can fit in (my left ear hole is smaller than my right one)

[Q] Headphones with in-line mic that work with Android/One X

I'm looking for some headphones, specifically in-ear ones, that work with Android and have a built in Mic and volume controls. I know that many of the ones made for iPod/iPhone don't work with Android properly so I want to make sure I don't make this mistake. I'd quite like the earphones to be good quality ones in the price range of £30 - £90 if possible. I've looked around but not found much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using ones from my SGSII. Work perfectly, nice deep base, mic works perfectly fine as well.
Overall, I'd say my SGSII headphones are surprisingly the best earbuds I ever had. To my ear, best frequencies.
So perhaps you can just buy SGSII replacement buds.

Beats in-ear earphones. At hmv they are reasonably cheap. I'm pretty sure you can find ones for less if you try gumtree or eBay. Just make sure they're genuine, Fake ones WILL break within a few days (past experience). http://m.hmv.com/product/details/171063 <---- those are really good quality, and well within your price range.

You should try these out. They are called a-JAYS ONE+, and they are made for android. They also have their own android app where you can customize the button to perform different functions (change track, adjust volume, launch apps etc) the app is called JAYS headset control. The headphones are really good themselves. I would have posted the links, but since I'm new I gotta wait. But I hope it helps

I just orderd me some Brainwavz M4+, with in line mic ... i can post again when i get them and tell how they work with the HOX.

I just bought a set of htc in ear phones with mic and control and tangle free flat cable from carphone warehouse for £20.
I'm no audiophile but they sound ok.

I tried looking for good over ear head phones everywhere for while, finally bought beats by dre Solo HD, however only one button works, the only way i got everything to work was by downloading app called Headset button form google market, which has allowed me to control everything on the phone.

hold the button - volume up
click + hold button - volume down

Bluetooth earphones

Hey guys, I'm looking for some bluetooth headphones and hope some of you have some experience and can help me.
Basically I'm looking for something like this: (just so you get a rough idea) http://www.desinformado.com/wp-cont...lantronics-backbeat-go-wireless-earphones.jpg
They should:
- be light
- Have a runtime of >=5 hours
- be easy to use while doing sports
- Not cost more than 60€
- have a play/pause button, maybe a next/previous song button as well
If you have any experience and can help me, I'd be grateful

ditto...
I'm interested as well...

SE MW-600?
I have been looking/googling for these last week.
SE MW-600 has many purpose. can be used for sports(in ear buds but still might fall). same with Samsung HS3000(cheapest of them all). There is also the Jabra clipper and jabra Sport.
with your budget of 60 euros, you can get the sample that you gave(Plantronics/there was one online with a hook). or you can find the one from motorolla (S10HD)but the reviews were not good regarding audio quality.

Just to give you a bigger choice: You don't need pause, skip etc. buttons.
One button is enough, then you can remap them for example like this: one click: play; two clicks; pause; long click; skip one click, long press; skip backward.
And as far as I know, Android doesn't support more than one button, so this is anyway nonsensical. :laugh:

Hello,
I have 2 BT headphones, Sony Ericsson MW600 and Jaybird Freedom, I just the first at work and the latter in the gym, specially to run.
Feature wise, MW600 has that beautiful oled display which not only shows the phone number for incoming calls but also the artist/song name while listening to music. It also has 5 buttons for play/pause, next, previous, power, answer/hangup. The volume is controled in a "touch strip" so you slide your finger to one side to increase the volume and to the other to decrease it. Honestly I'd like better if there where regular volume buttons, instead of this "touch strip", but it isn't really a problem for me.
This headset has the advantage of having a 3.5mm connector for the earphone so you can easily replace it in case yours break or use the one you like better.
As for the Jaybird Freedom has no display, but has 4 buttons for play/pause, volume up/next, volume down/previous and power. The main advantage of this headset IMHO is his design, meaning that the whole unit (battery, earpieces, bluetooth receiver etc) are a single unit so you won't have any gadget dangling as you run or workout, it just stays in place, sturdy in my ear. The downside of this approach are the slightly bulk earpieces, but this don't bother me at all.
Sorry if the text got a little long, but I wanted to pass along my experience with these 2.
Edit: I use both with my Galaxy S II, but I also used it with the Motorola Atrix I had.
Best regards,
Fernando Toledo

I have been using the Backbeat 903 from Plantronics for quite a while and I am very satisfied with it. It's not as tiny and the Backbeat Go but it is lightweight and got all buttons functionality. A search on ebay will land you prices less than $50.
Hope this helps

I'm using the Samsung Hs 3000 BT earphones. They cost about 30 Euro, are easy to use and perfect for sports! They can be fixed to clothes and even survived my washing mashine.

I had Plantronics Backbeat 903+ , I used them for running and biking but they aren't sweatproof and after some trainings I sent them back to the reseller because they started to work bad. I suggest H2O Audio products if you want something sweatproof and waterproof.

I found my Beats Bluetooth Headset fully functional on my Wanamlite ROM.
Inclues: Next and Previous Track, Play /Pause, Answer / Drop Calls and Volume Controls.
Makes my music life... wireless! XD

I've taken a look at all of them. H2o audio seems great, but I don't understand why they don't offer bluetooth headsets. They are making waterproof gear, but do not offer bluetooth for that???
Anyway, the jaybird freedom seems awesome, I'm going to get those, thanks man

Lg hbs 700
Been using the LG HBS 700 for the past year. Absolutely awesome!
Has play, pause, next, back and volume controls as well as a call buton which can allso be used for initiating a voice call via voice command.
Very light, doesn't look dorky and sweat resistant I would say,
Bought directly from LG on eBay for around £40 - seller not there anymore though.

Good luck

Try the Jabra Sport headset. I'm sure you can get it in your price range if you shop around (amazon, ebay, etc)
http://www.jabra.com/Products/Bluetooth/JABRA_SPORT/Jabra_SPORT

Loving my new SE-MW600

I am using Jabra Street 2 and they are perfect for me.

I use the HM3700 by Samsung. Nice earphone. Excellent sound quality with two caveats:
The bloody app doesn't work for me but it does for others and the connector on the earphone is microUSB so when your battery FINALLY depletes (lasts for a tidy minute).... you're stuck without headphones as you can't use them without the bluetooth connector (which doubles as a monoheadset too).
It's ergonomic and comfortable though.

Headphones (preferably in-ear) with remote and mic

Can someone suggest any headphone (preferably in-ear) with remote (for hanging up calls, could include volume controls) and mic for daily use while driving?

They really are a very nice and affordable pair of headphones, which indeed sound _really_ nice.
Although only one of the three remote control button works, so you cannot change volume with it, you can pause/play, answer calls and skip to next track though (using the working button). The mic works flawlessly.
I would still recommend these headphones to anyone, but you really have to make sure, you do not buy a knockoff product (I bought mine from ibuygoo.com and they're legit)

Hi,
How does the microphone performs on Pistons 2? I picked up Samsung EHS64 based on good review on head-fi.org, directly from amazon (not some cheap-fake marketplace seller), sound is amazing, mic is also clear, but buttons don't work even with the headset controller app.
