So what is the prevailing view on the right headphone adaptor which will enable track skipping and volume when plugged into android phones? There are loads of high quality audiophile headphones which are off limits at the moment. I know the sony balanced armature buds will work, but I would like some Atomic Floyd. Which adaptor has had most success?
I have also downloaded remote control for earphones. This is a serious practical issue. I cannot believe with a phone so powerful, that these button functions are not coded into any android rom. Is there a ROM to flash, which will enable apple type inline remotes?
I own a skullcandy icon 3 headset.
mic: work
Volume: work
Next/last track : Don't work
On my iPhone i could double click and it move the next track, triple clikc and go back one track. This doesn't seem to work on the stock player on my Galaxy S3. I can pause and start playing though.
Skull candy half and half headset.
Mic, backward track skip, and volume don't work. Forward track skip does.
Beats wireless: Bluetooth all works. Bluetooth volume is separate from phone volume though. Wires- same problems as skull candy.

anyone know if there are headphones with music control (next, pause, play...) for galaxy s2?
thanks!
im interested too for gym workout
the earbuds that came with my SGSII seemed to do this automatically with PowerAMP. hit the button on the mic for pause/play and hold it for next track. although, in the stock music app holding down the button to skip track won't work, but pause/play will.
I use a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth set. The controls are all on a dog-tag and you can use whatever headphones you desire. I'm using a set of Sennheiser MXL 60 phones because they have a nice short cord (with optional extension included), and a little loop that the BT3030 attaches to very neatly.
It's a great combo for cycling.
Also interested with this. Any good/great "regular" earphones(NOT in-ear/canal, etc) with working controls on PowerAmp?
Get the Sony DRC-BT30 BT30 Bluetooth Receiver and match it with your favorite earphones (that didn't come with volume/call control).
Has anybody tried a beats solo with control key? What keys work?
If it helps I quote myself:

Regarding volume control using different headsets with the SGS2 I've finally found a solution that works for me: Headset Droid It lets you assign different actions (including rising and lowering the phone's volume) to your headset's key/keys. I've tried it with the stock headset and works great! The link I include is for the 1 day trial version, if you try it and you like it's only 0,99€

Headset Droid
Beats Solo HD: Call(Hang), Music(On/Off/Forward/Back). Volume(Use Headset Droid).
Tried this, and yes it has a workaround with the beats solo but the commands tend to get mixed up. Like center(button) + hold = increase volume or it turns the music player off. So its better than nothing.
Will haven to check headset droid out, hoping for the best
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.

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.

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.

I've never tried those before but with PowerAmp music player you can utilize those controls. There is a beta in the market for free too if you want to try it out.
I have some Klipsch Image S4i's with the remote. The mic works fine, and the middle button works too, skipping songs (CM7), answer calls etc. But the volume buttons will not work because the Incredible hardware doesn't support them. They work just fine on my iPod touch however.
Might be useful to someone. HTC HD7 headset works with One X but. Volume control buttons work to change the track in music player. Pressing + goes one track back, pressing - advances a track. Holding the + restarts your playlist from 1st track. Button for phone calls so pickup/disconnect work as normal and long pressing it does the same as in stock headset so advances the track by 1 song. Microphone also works. Finally headset activates the beat add-on but saying that only 1 set of headsets did not activate it on my phone?!
It is useful as what you can do now is mod the HD7 headset so that right after microphone/buttons you have a 3.5mm jack socket and you can plug in any headphones and still use them as headset.
headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
i've got the nokia monster purity in ear headphones and they work with the one x pretty well, the volume controls function as track controls and the call button and mic works perfectly too. Only issue i've had is the music controls won't work at all if you're using chrome and trying to change the track. You have to get out of chrome and then the buttons work, strange but not a major issue.

You mean like any bluetooth stereo headphones? I'm pretty certain no wired headset will do this because the headphone jack doesn't support it.
There are quite a few standalone bluetooth stereo receivers around that you can plug generic headphones or a stereo line-out into though. I prefer the Jabra BT-3030 'dogtag' receivers, but there are plenty of others around. Just do a search on Froogle, Buy.com or any other big electronics site and you'll find them. The only real difference between them all is battery life and sound quality, they all have media player controls using standard Bluetooth profiles and they all include a condenser mic built-in.
No, I was talking about a button on the wired headphone, like the Galaxy S, to skip track, answer call, those sort of things.
From what LG answered me, it's not possible...
Downer there :|
Finaly found a spare pair of headphones from a Galaxy, with the button for the media controller.
Turns out, it works!
Long press opens voice control,
short press starts media player
two short press skips the track when playing.
There must be a standard for Android, I'll try to find the list tomorow and test it out, but anyway, good thing it works.
Anyway, good things it works! I'm running a lot, long distance, and it'll screw up any bluetooth, even S-10 (my current pair had some issue but cleaned up after drying in rice), so the good ol' button hearphones with the media controller is the best for me!
I've ordered a "seperate" microphone with a button and the input, I'll test and let you know!
I just bought some a-JAYS One+ for about 60$ The remote works with the Optimus G and most android phones.
The remote lets you:
Skip tracks
FF / Rwind
Play / Pause
Volume up / Down
Pick up calls
The sound quality is actually very good especially for bass junkies like myself. Not to mention the sleek swedish design.
I absolutely recommend them to anyone out there.
Cheers!

it is not a Android feature, it is just the the extra rim on the 3.5 headphone minijack that adds controls to it. and Android have adapted it. like micro USB for charging and connecting.
open standards are always to prefer

Well, I tried with my old Nokia N95 headset which has play, forward, volume, etc. And it did not work as expected, some buttons work as a single button headset. Also bought a Samsung headset (could not find LG headsets) with a button and volume control and the volume control does not work, the volume up key replicates the button.
So it is not that standard.
Or is there an app to activate the volume and multimedia buttons on those headsets?
