Can someone confirm that for sgs2 it would be compatible with the many iphone compatible ones out there?
For the first gen sgs it is only compatible with the nokia ones, which is very limited.
My Griffin iTalk adaptor has worked and samsung bundle some headphones with only one button so I can only presume most iPhone compatible buds will also work.

Seems to work fine with a set of ipod head phones I just got of ebay. Microphone works and the click button pauses.

@jenkinson6a:
does your headphone have only one button or are there some more (volume control or something like this)? If there are some: do they also work?

Just tried my old HTC headphones with three buttons. Forward, back and play/pause/call answer. Worked just as they should so some with a volume control should work perfectly too.
that sounds great! thanks!

I'd say it depends on your price range but I love the Klipsch s4i [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-S4i...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1304553404&sr=8-1]. They're a good range with a nice bass to them.
If you want something a little cheaper you could go for some Sennheisers but they can get a little muddy and the bass is a little overpowering at times meaning you miss some of the highs.
Failing that just get something like a Griffin SmartTalk [http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/smarttalk] that will allow you to plug whatever headphones/earphones you want and still have the audio control/hands free. It's what I'm using!
I have a pair of dr dre beats with inline controls. The volume buttons do nothing while the middle button will pause only.
There is no way of changing track.
Hope that helps. Thanks.

Anyone know a cable converter that will work for the Galaxy S3 (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-iPhon...e-Samsung-HTC-LG-/140574981373#ht_3686wt_1163)
I have Klipsch S4i headphones that have volume control for the iPhone only. I want to use these headphones with FUNCTIONAL volume control with the Galaxy S3.
If you find one, let me know. This is one of my major gripes with Samsung. I managed to get headphones working with my Samsung Galaxy S using a Nokia headphone remote control, but this doesn't work on the SIII.
Why can't they just use the same standard as everyone else.
Or possibly sell an adaptor, and educate their store staff - went to the popup Samsung store in Spitalfields Market (London) today and they had no idea what I was talking about. The sales assistant finally admitted that his headphones don't work with his S2 either. But was clueless as to how to help.
?!?!
this i would really like!
i`ve got a pair of beats headphones and they did not work at all with my first sgs
but now with the s3, the centre button works, answering calls, pausing and skipping tracks, and the mic also works, but the volume doesn`t...
Yeah the S4i also has a working center button but no functioning volume control (which is what I mostly use...don't really care about a mic)
The other adapter I looked at is called Fiio LU2 but I have not seen anyone specifically use it for the SG3.
http://www.fiio.com.cn/product/index.aspx?ID=38&MenuID=020303
still nothing?
Hey,
I have just brought the Fiio adapter,
ill let you know about the results

LU2 doesn't work
Hi there, I just bougth the fioo lu2 cable and it doesn't work with the s3. I'm sending it back to amazon. I have sony headphones and even for me everything works except the volume controls. With the lu2 connected, nothing works and the audio is all "push-pull" (I hope that is how you say that in english).
So don't buy it!

Yeah it's nice, but for 30$ I think I can buy a pair of headset as good as my Sony.
Btw,yesterday I try using them again and another thing I noticed is that even if the sound quality is waaaaay better with my Sony, the volume is much more lower than the included Samsing's. So it's not only a matter of the voulme button not working. And today I'm back with the Samsung's...

Yeah, I wont mind paying $30 to get my Pro's working properly with my sweet phone..
Hmm...the ones that come with the S3 have volume control. I hope some headphone manufacturers can reverse-engineer it. I think it has to do with how the parts of the jack are arranged. Because I know on the iPhone the ground part is switched.
Klipsch S4i Reference w/ Mic
I just tried using my Klipsch S4i Reference w/ Mic headphones and the center button + ear buds work but the volume and microphone do not work. I'd appreciate it if anyone discovers an adapter that converts iPhone headphones to work with the Samsung Galaxy S III. Anybody know why it is this way? I've compared the Samsung headphone jack to the Kilpsch ones and I don't see much of a difference...

well, I can change tracks in power amp with that button click option,not in the normal player. In that, the centre button plays/pauses the track.
How did you manage to change the volume on the s3?
10.00 adapter
For 10.00 you can buy the Meelec ADPTR-TRRS-35. I would post the link, but I cant because I'm a new user. If you just type it in to Google, it'll show up. Also, if you're good with soldering, you can buy the tips and solder them yourself. I bought gold plated and its lasted me years with my original galaxy.

Why does it say on the site ``This adapter will not enable the mic/volume buttons of a 3-button Apple compatible headset to work with non-Apple devices``?
I am toying with taking the buds off my iphone headphones ( i like the buds not the in ear stuff) and soldering them to the samsung cable... i know it might be sacrlidge to do so with more expensive headphones but... dangerous times... drastic measures and such.....
I have a rogers s3 rooted running CM 10 and the headphones NOW work. Function keys all working correctly So this was clearly a software limitation.

While I was in Samsung country last month (Seoul), I went to a few headphone/audio retail shops which let you test out almost ANY brand of headphones you'd like--and apparent this has been a big issue for Samsung users (since most volume control + mic headphones out there are built to work for and certified for use with Apple). One method they taught me (aside from rooting and hacking ROMs), was to download this app called "JAYS". This app will somehow allow the microphones to work on many brands (I use Sennheisers personally) whereas it would not work before due to the different in impedance. The app also creates shortcuts using the working center button, allowing short/long keypresses to do quite a lot (i.e. short press + long press will lower volume, double short press will skip tracks, etc) by turning the center button (which works on MOST headphoens) into a morse code-like button.
I have yet to find a ROM out there that allows my Sennheisers (MM80i, MM70i) to work with the volume buttons, but I've been happy with the JAYS app.
I don't want wireless or bluetooth I need a wired headset with mic coming out. Can someone suggest one or would it work with 3.5mm plug?

Any wired headset with 3.5mm connector will work with Galaxy S III
This is for phone conversations right? I will be working from home so I need it to work perfectly
I'll sell you one. I got the Nocs NS200 but I accidentally got the one button (with mic) version instead of the 3 button that I wanted. Haven't even used them. Opened them up, was disappointed n put them back

You have no idea how WRONG you are.
Galaxy S 3 is one the most picky phones I've ever owned, it's almost as bad as the worst phone ever - LG Nitro HD.
Just go to your local RadioShack and ask them to test all available headsets, see how many of them will be 100% working (sound, mic, music and phone calls). I'll bet at least half of them will only work for music, some will work for phone calls only when plugged in AFTER call was established. Not to mention remote buttons...(I've done just that with 5 headsets they had that could be re-packaged, only one worked)
This is ridiculous. I've already contacted Samsung regarding this, they politely asked me to piss off. The SkullCandy headphone manufacturer also said "bad luck, come again".
Now using piece of sh.t off brand headset, which works perfectly, but with terrible sound.
SkullCandy FIX don't work, however "fake" SkullCandy FIX (black and white with only one button) work fine, but they lasted 1 week before wire broke.
Wired Headset with Microphone
You may want to try Klipsch s4A. It is especially made for Android phones.
im using urbanears bagis.. been using it during the s2 days and now on the s3.. mic works excellently and the earplugs produce excellent sound quality as well..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm using Skullcandy's FMJ on my S3. It has a one button mic and I am able to answer calls and end calls with it. Also when not used for calls, pressing it once will play the music player, pressing it twice would play the next song but I can't go back to the previous song though. Pretty much good for me already.
Erm, yeah same here.... Had the basic skull candy ink set, and now a similar set. Both have worked perfectly..... Cheap too at a tenner a pair.....

I am using the Sony XBA-2VP at the moment (right in the middle of Sony's line of balanced armature IEMs). The mike works well on calls as well as with Power Amp.
Wish Sony would release the XBA-3 or XBA-4 for Android (as they have for the iPhone)....
Kind regards
So far everyone who say this and that works fine, refer only to these in-ear type headsets. What about normal buds type, that don't go inside the ear?
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.

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.

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?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fiio-LU2-Ad...e=UTF8&qid=1388794076&sr=1-1&keywords=fiio+lu
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.

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.

Hello,
My brother gave me his old BOSE OE2i's and they're nice but the volume up and down buttons do not work because they're originally designed for the iphone and from my understanding apple uses a different pin layout of their 3.5mm connectors. I would love to be able to use the volume up and down buttons, as well as the microphone. The only working button is the middle play/pause/skip button.
FiiO LU2 Cable is the only thing I've found so far but apparently it doesn't make the volume up and down buttons work so that's a pass.... I know you can solder the cable but I don't want to really risk damaging the cable. If anyone knows of any iphone to galaxy s3 headset converters please let me know!
Thanks,
Zealex.
If the headset was originally made for iphone then you can forget it, the volume up/down signal from a certificated/original headset are different as from for example the i9300 original headset. the original headset from the S3 is not even working on a lg smartphone.
and for this no adapters exist

I am using too a Bose AE2I with my S3. You can work around this issue with a software as Headset Button .
When you push the central button of the Bose 4 times, the sound starts from low level and increase progressively. You select the volume by pushing the button once again.
This is not perfect by its ok for my usage as sometime I also simply use the s3 volume up and down button.
Bummer that such a converter exists, thanks for the replies guys! Blows that there aren't any headphones that can use the volume controls on the s3... :/
