Hey. Recently got a new job and while working I can listen to music. So I've been looking for some decent headphones (on/over the ear only, no earbuds or behind the head types). Looking to spend around $80-100
I'd like them to be comfortable for at least a few hours. I'd like a mic, too. Volume controls don't have to work, but I'd like a play/pause button. Isn't there an app that can make buttons on your headphones work with the phone?
I've been looking at the Klipsch Image ONE's. Look pretty nice, look comfortable, but no idea if the mic works with the GSM, or the controls.
Saw the Sennheiser PX 200-II i, which look a little flimsy, but I'm still considering them.
And these Marshall Majors I can't link. ;p
I also saw the Hesh 2, and Sol Republic's On Ear Tracks.
If anyone has any input on these, or wants to throw some new ones out there, that would help a lot. Just want to make sure I get something with decent sound, a working mic and at least a play/pause button. I'll consider Wireless/Bluetooth ones too.
Thanks, guys.
Just from browsing forums people seem to like the Klipsch S4A ear buds. They come with an android app for the button on the ear buds.

Yeah, I know. I did lots of browsing. But I said I'm not looking for earbuds. Mentioned that in the title. Thanks, though. I'll edit my original post to clarify more.

My mistake then, I was thinking about android controls and the Klipsch S4 was the first thought that popped into my head.
Ive just bought the RAZER electra headset in black, and i can say they are the best on ear headphones ive ever owned! over here they were about £50 so im not sure how much that is in dollars!
Really good trebble, nice middle tones and the bass is brilliant when turned up! it comes with two 3.5mm jack to jacks (the headphones have a 3.5mm out on them that you can lock the jack to jack in) one is just a straight cable, the other is one with a built in mic.
Unfortunately there is no Play/Pause function. But im sure you could program the volume buttons to pause and play when you held them down for 3+ seconds? like the good old sony's walk-man phones!
Let me know if you need any help!
Cheers!
Skullcandy's Roc Nation Aviators are really awesome, don't let the skullcandy brand scare u away, some of the most crisp sound out there. Remote works with android too, I think its like you have to hold the buttons instead of pressing but either way, it works and is awesome...and you can get them on ebay used for like $60 or new for $100 rather than the $150 in the store

Does any one have vibrant headphones for sale?

I might. Just got the Vibrant and have a set of headphones I like so never even taken them out of the box. Send me a PM and we can talk. No idea on price so make an offer.
I have a never used pair from mine too.
Also have a pair that I haven't used.
I suppose you got them now...Testing them against the ones that come from hd2..hd2 has more bass and the vibrant ones are louder...I only posted this cause I recently tested them lol

There are a few OEM ones for sale on eBay too if you do a search for Samsung i9000 headphones.
Just go into a T-mobile store and see if they have any extra ones. IMO the IEMs that come with the phone are average at best. I would invest in a nice pair, I picked up a pair of Thinksound Rains for super cheap on Amazon and they are sound awesome. They are suppose to be releasing a pair with a mic on it shortly.
Im still looking im willing to pay like $15 for the headphones,i really want them

I just tried using my old iPhone headset with the Vibrant. It works just fine. I can even start and pause the music player from the mic button.
Thought I would mention this since it may be that any iPhone compatible headset will also work with the Vibrant. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.
damnn... i never paid attention to how good the stock headphone sounds... i was ready to sell this... i must say these are some quality headphones...

These are just headphones, no mic on it. It is the same style as the ones provided and I even think you can use the same interchangeable plugs that came with the phone. I bought some and they were great.
Does anyone know where I can purchase headphones that have the interchangeable earbud sizers but also have a mic and full music control with the skip buttons (like the HD2 headphones)?
I love these:

really? these sound better than any pre-packaged headphones i have ever used.
I find that the stock headphones are far superior to most others on the Vibrant. I have a pair of very expensive sound canceling Sony ear-buds that sound like trash on my Vibrant but are great an all my other devices. If you look at the stock headphones the connector has a third band. Supposedly it emulates 5.1 surround sound. I listen to allot of music with layered tracks (Tool, MarsVolta, SOAF...) and with the stock headphones I've been hearing stuff I've never heard before. One thing I found strange with the stock headphones is that at first I had to apply a good amount of pressure on them to get them connected properly.
UPDATE
I was just thinking that other band is probably for the mute control. Either way, of the several other headphones I tried the stock sounded the best to me.
UPDATE 2
LOL, just tried my old school KOSS and they sound every bit as good as the stock. To bad they're huge!!!
I got a pair of klipsch S2m and they are great buds. $25 on amazon vs the msrp of $60.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app
the third band is for the microphone.
I've found the 5.1 button to be more of a 'make what ever your listening to sound like doo-doo' button.

Couldn't have put it more eloquently myself.
On an unrelated note, has anyone tried using iphone earbuds with built in audio controls on the vibrant? It just occurred to me those might work since the iphone has a similar headphone jack setup.

I figured I let my loss be to the benefit of the forum. I bought the dre ibeats can confirm that they do not work with the Atrix at all. i also have the first generation beats by dre that don't work as well. I know there are newer models of the large ones so I don't know if it would be the same for all of them. I am getting the bose MiE2 later tomorrow, and i will tell you guys if they work. If any one else has tried getting high quality sounding headphones to work with the Atrix please chime in.

Lol I'm not trying to be a troll or anything but Bose and Beats By Dre are NOT high quality sounding headphones. Try some Klipsch or Shure.
Best way to no troll is simply to say what headphones you think are better. maybe say why and provide a model number for people to look it up. Thanks in advance if you take the time to provide the information. I think it would prove very constructive to the thread.
P.S. After some preliminary searching the shure's that would work are the 100 series and are of lower quality. I used to have 200 series. The Klipsch are pretty much the same. All the best ones only control apple products. I'm hoping to be proven wrong so i can buy great headphones.
Hmm.... i don't recall the headphone jack actually supporting a microphone input as well. Mind if i ask why you're searching for such headphones?
Not sure if they have any headphones with a microphone.... but i'm quite fond of Sennheiser's offerings. I have the CX 300 noise cancelling earbuds, and while i don't use them very often for listening to music (Unlike the odd people i see driving down the highway with the telltale white earbuds in their ears.... idiots... both for the obvious reasons, and because Apple's earbuds blow), the times i do i really enjoy them. They sound great.

I'll take a look. To answer your question. I take public transit to and from college. I hate hearing people on the train. I also hate the interruption of a call where I have to take off my studio headset. I would rather have a small pair that allow to answer the call, and then get back to what I was doing quickly.
Guys seems that this headset works with Atrix..

considering on buying one of this? did someone tried?
I can confirm that the RF3 ENVi Natural Wood Stereo Earbuds microphone works with the Atrix. Very good sound quality as well, better than some Klipsch s2s I had!
I can confirm that the bose mie2 doesn't work either.

They aren't the top of the line, but the mic on these skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headphones work well for me. w ww.skullcandy.com/shop/fmj-shoe-blue.html
And they sound great for the price.
I'll probably use them very rarely and would like something cheap (<$15). Any suggestions?

Just so you know, on the skullcandy headphones, you'll need the headphone button control app for the in-line headphone button to control your music.
FYI, tested BOSE MIE2i headset - mic works, the buttons do not. I tried the above mentioned Headset app, but no luck with buttons either. This sucks a bit :/
meelectronics m11p work fine on my atrix
any comment on how some of the known functioning (mic and buttons) headphones/earbuds are for running and working out? I'd like to put my atrix in place of my ipod sometimes while running but I hate the earbuds coming loose and having to constantly adjust them.
For reasons that don't matter here, I got a set of Klipsch s4i earphones/mic.
Klipsch said up front the control buttons will only work with the iPhone line, says there's a magic ichip actually in the control stick.
So while none of the buttons (NONE AT ALL) work on the Atrix, the sound quality, clarity and definition, is astounding, better than a lot of expensive audio gear I've heard over the years, and the mic functions 100% on calls as well.

problem solved. gonna use the ones that came with our phones. bass is solid, and so far they are pretty good at blocking noise.
if i find the mic/vol controls to not be worth it, i'll just buy a pair of half decent earbuds without mic control. if the OEM samsung earbuds dont provide me with mic control that I like, I doubt any expensive off market buds will do me justice.

I use the original earbuds that came bundled with this phone and Poweramp music player and the sound quality is more than excellent for me. Nice deep bass especially when you turn up the setting on Poweramp.

If you want BOSE, they make a mobile headset that has mic and volume controls. It's called the MIE2i. Also, Beats make a pair called the iBeats. They are an in ear headset with GREAT sound. I own both and use them interchangeably. I will say though I give the MIE2i's a slight edge because the eargels are the most comfortable I've ever worn.
BOSE = Buy Other Sound Equipment
Klipsch S4A, made for android. S4i sounds good, when mine need replacing, I'll buy S4A's.

I did the same and since I don't need the Mic, I started using my Sony ear buds. If I get a call, I just pull the phone out and answer, I have to see who's calling anyways.

As far as in-ears under $100 are concerned (which Im assuming your asking for) I like the NuForce NE-700M over the Klipch s4a. Ive had them both and i feel like the highs are more crisp and it has a bit more low frequency extension.
Also if you care about bass more than clarity the AIAIAI Swirl have plenty of bump and an excellent asthetic.

Do either of those work with Android as well as S4A? To me, that's a big selling point. My S4i's are perfectly suitable sound-wise, but the lack of control sucks.

The NuForce has one button/mic combo. One press pauses/plays, two presses skips the track. The button is honestly a little flimsy though so if button is your number one concern
As for the AIAIAI it looks like the new one has 3 buttons but i cant attest to how well it works as i had an old version of the swirl with only one. I can say that AIAIAI's whole deal is that they are really well designed as far as the tangible parts so i would assume that they took a lot of care in designing the buttons.
what earphones set for Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-t989 has best microphone ?
hi,
I've already lost the earphones that came with my new samsung galaxy s 2 SGH-t989. 1 of the reasons I got this phone was for the vlingo voice-operability that makes it good for use while driving. Does anyone know what the best ( or at least a good) earphone set is for this phone, especially with respect to the microphone quality?
thank you in advance.
monster has a BYO headset adapter w/mic that works
picked it up or $10. bought 2-one for walking around and one for the car's Aux-in jack.

What about Klipsch Image S3 Headphone? Do you think they are equally good? S3 is priced lower. My budget seems to be in that range (of Kilpsch S3)
I used Philips Tapster Bluetooth Headphones with my S2, it's perfect!!
Mine's got a Philips SHE8005. These are in-ear type with a volume slider, mic and a button which acts as either to answer/end an incoming call and a pause/forward button for your music app. The wire's also rubber-coated to give you a firm grip on it.
Looks like a good buy!!

Hey guys, I listen to music on my S3 for about a total of 3 hours a day when walking to university / work, and I would like to have something more comfortable then the in ear from Samsung. I would like something that's over the ears, and not too expensive. Around $100.
I found these:

i use klipsch image one's. theyre not "noise cancelling" but they do a good job of blocking ambient noises, bass is deep and very good klipsch quality. tried the beats(all of them), theyre more for the looks than sound quality.

Some people might berate me for this, but I used skull candy's Hesh 'phones for ages. I'm neither rich nor an audiophile, so I found them great. The volume controls work, too. You can pick them up cheap since the Hesh 2 came out. The 2nd ones are probably not a huge leap forwards.

I'm just waiting for the new V-Moda M-100's to be released on Amazon (for under $300) so I can finally replace my 8-year-old pair of Sennheiser 590's. (My Sennheiser's compressed its foam padding, and lost the speaker driver protection foam; I've replaced a damaged cable 3 times, and the headphone jack is finally on the fritz too). I like to buy a GOOD pair of headphones rarely, instead of pieces of crap that fall apart too soon.
