Headphones with media controls?

Can anyone recommend headphones with media controls that works well with our ET4G?

Any of the Bluetooth Motorola ones work great. My current pair are a set of Motorola Rokr that I picked up for about $30 from Verizon via slick deals...

Ok so I did some research and found Klipsch Image S4a Premium Noise-Isolating Headset. Anyone have any experience with these? Does it work with our phones?

I have been trying for the life of me to get my controls on my headphones to work and nothing works I have a pair of Beats, Skull candy, Bose, and Sony and none of them are working for me.

lve only ever use motorola bluetooth headphones with my phones and they've all worked without issue. I'm looking for a good bt intercom for my motorcycle helmet right now but if you guys come up with a quality pair of bt headphones I'm in the market for those too....

I have these and they're awesome. http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-B...N9OK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1317520014&sr=8-2
The volume, pause, track skip work great on the regular media player and also Spotify.

SOL Republic ear phones don't work.

I have the S4 and the sound (for buds) is really good. The S4A is supposed to have media controls specifically for android phones/players as the S4i is incompatible.
I would bet the S4A would be good.

Be careful. The epic 4g touch controls do not work with my cars eclipse head unit where my evo worked pretty well. The devices connect of course but i cant resume playing after a pause, etc

so I take it that only Bluetooth headsets are working? all mine are wired headsets and none of there media controls will work with the stock media player, playerpro or Google music.

I don't think you had the s4a's... they just came out like a few days ago. I have some on the way from Crutchfield, shipped out yesterday. Will post a review when I get them.
For those who are unfamiliar, they're supposed to work with a special Klispsch android app to enable full media control, volume up/down, play, pause, track forward and back, voice search.
I've been using Altec Lansing bluetooth stereo headphones which also have media controls which work well, but I've decided bluetooth stereo is just a useless hassle, wired is better overall.

MotoRokr is excellent with this phone. Works flawlessly. Oh, no special software needed to use them. They have HD sound out of the box.

I am waiting for these to be released:

Supposedly going to be in the $50 range, like the s4a's it's going to have an android app for controls.

Don't work with beats by Dre studios. But Bluetooth controls work with my lg hbs.

Quick update, I received my Klipsch S4a headphones and while they have good sound quality I can't get the "media controls" to work at all. The Klipsch Android app doesn't seem to work with this phone.
Essentially the headphones have just 1 button same as most headphones. The Klipsch app is supposed to enable control using various button click combos, example 1 click pause/resume, 2 clicks next track, continuous press to adjust the volume etc.
However on the E4GT I think the voice control app intercepts the button presses and the Klipsch app doesn't do anything. A long press simply launches voice command.
I haven't been able to find any way to make it work... hmmm. Disappointing.

S4A does jack sht for us..

Hell yeah it's disagoddamnpointing. I just picked up a pair of S4As I ordered from Crutchfield, total bust and exactly as you have described. The Android app does nothing and all that happens is we can launch voice commands.
On Android Market they mention this "The default media player on the following devices are not compatible and require a 3rd party media app for full functionality: Samsung Infuse, Samsung Galaxy S 4G, Motorola Atrix (List subject to change.)"
They also go on to list, "The follwing music apps have been tested and compatibility confirmed: Google Music, Amazon MP3, Pandora, Last.fm, Slacker (List subject to change.)"
Might as well just add the GSII Epic 4G Touch to a special FULLY incompatible list.

Which Model of the MotoRkr? S9, S10, S305?

I picked up the Sony Ericsson MW600. Not only do you get bluetooth, you can use any earphones you want and have complete control over the phone and media. There is a mic on it so you don't have to worry about having a separate pair of earphones with a mic. And you can hook it up to multiple sources. I can listen to music on my Xoom and talk on my E4GT when a call comes in with a touch of a button.

Loud bass = turning volume down (AUX)

Hey.
Im a very satisfied One X user, and its really a great device, but I've found a bug/problem that is a pain in the ass.
When my phone is connected to my cars stereo (Aux port) and im listening to music from One X music player or youtube, the volume decreases when the bass kick gets loud, why is it doing this?
I have used my Desire and Sensation on the same "setup", and they did'nt make any problems.
Help?

Could be something with sound enhancement settings you use.

Im using Beats, because it gives me the best sound quality I think.

if you use "bass boost" on anything you will lose the higher end sounds and also volume, i would try using a different profile.

Beats is the problem, turn it off.

Beats uses very high compression, to produce a loud sound, this is your problem, get your player out of this dreadful setting, re-adjust your hearing and then enjoy your music!

Sounds like compression, can't say I've heard it that bad on my one x even with beats on though it will notice more on certain types of music, especially some modern music or remastered albums.
Maybe it's a setting in your stereo or choice of player, are you using an FM transmitter plugged into the Aux or any type of input box or is it a straight jack to jack?

Im using a jack cable directly from my One X to my car stereo.
And the type of music im primarily listening to is Hardcore gabber, the hardest type of electronic music.

Beats compresses the hell out of absolutely everything. All it does is EQ the sound a bit, compress everything and add some stereo widening. You're MUCH better disabling it and using PowerAMPs built-in EQ or something, It'll give a much better sound.

Probably best to turn off beats and use a flat eq on the phone and use the eq on your car stereo to get the sound you want.
Or try DSPManager for your phone

head over to my post to install DPSManager allows you more control over the sound then beats

Sound through head phone jack is flat?

I'm running the latest ICS app and I went to hook up Spotify to my stereo using the headphone jack this weekend and it sounds very flat. If I run Spotify from my Galaxy S, or my computer using the same input on my stereo it sounds great.
Has anyone else noticed this? I didn't really find any settings in the tablet itself that would improve this.

Check to make sure Equalizer in Settings is enabled and play around with different sound schemes.

Anyone tried volume+ or DSP manager? The volume is much lower than my SGS II or Galnex over headphones. The EQ seems to just make all the music overly bassy and muffled.
**Edit: Just tested the full version of volume+.. it works...sorta. it gets louder BUT once you se it louder it will not get quieter again by reducing the setting. It sounded OK but the louder it got the more tinny and crackly the sound got. I had to disable it once I got to +20 as it just sounded bad in the opposite direction. The EQ features also didn't seem to have any impact. I didn't want to test DSP manager as I'm at work and goofed off for an hour doing this test. I went back to my Gal Nex as my media player over headphones :-/

Go into settings and set up Dolby sound

[Q] Music to mono bluetooth head piece.

Hi All, loving my note 2. I used to be able to stream audio using Super BT Mono Froyo Free using my old Motorola Triumph phone, but that app now crashes when I try to run it. I'm assuming because it doesn't work with Andriod 4.1. Any other options out there for using a single ear piece bluetooth to listen to music, or more specifically podcasts on the note 2?
Thanks!
-Russ

Sorry, found my own answer. BTmono works great, and works with note 2 for anyone wondering. Working with my old Motorola H715.

When I had this sound routing problem with my Droid X I used "Sound Route Switcher Bluetooth" app by omercade. I tried this app with Galaxy Note 2 with no problems. But right now, knock on wood, I don't have any sound routing problems with my Galaxy Note 2, including music to my mono Bluetooth. My Bluetooth device is Plantronics Voyager PRO HD. I am using Plantronics MyHeadset app as well, but I don't believe that you will need that app.
What gets me worried is that I have been reading throughout the Galaxy Note 2 forums that people having sound routing issues within weeks after getting their Galaxy Note 2. This could be just a few flawed devices within their large manufacturing production. But I do wonder.

Guys, I'm not really sure I'm reading the question correctly, but if I am, I want you to know there is an option built right in to TouchWiz for music listeners using mono bluetooth. It's enough to make me stick with Samsung FOREVER. Check the accessibility options, hearing. No more stupid work around, finally!

SoundAlive settings?

Had my 10.5" Tab S for a few months now and really like it aside from one thing...I can't for the life of me figure out if it has Headphone surround. The sound from movies on my headphones via my Kindle HDX 7 is far superior in terms of a pseudo 3D sound stage - this has Dolby Digital built-in.
Reading on-line I see Samsung has something called SoundAlive but I can't see any settings for it except for in the music and default video app. Is there anyway to use in, say, the Plex app which is what I use most of my videos on? Does there even exist a discrete settings app for it?
If not is there a some HRTF software I can install, but not V4A as I'm not rooted.
EDIT: Argh, thought I was in the Q&A section, please feel free to move. I really should know better!

I can access SoundAlive settings via the Samsung Level app

which I use to pair my Level Over headphones. Not sure if you can access the settings another way.

Alas, I've only got wired headphones and that app seems to only work with bluetooth ones.
Thanks tho.

good question as I was looking for something similar for my wired headset, but since im using a gear circle now which has a sound alive option by itself via gear manager, i stopped looking.. i'll be monitoring this thread
