[Q] Dr. Dre Beats Tour ControlTalk with Android

Hi All,
I just got a pair of Dr. Dre Beats Tour headphones and the microphone doesn't seem to work with my Android phone. I tried searching a lot and can't seem to find a lot of information on this apart for a few posts with very few details. Does anybody know if there is a way to get the microphone to work? I am currently running Android 2.1.
Thanks!
Has nobody else here run into this issue?

Gonna go ahead and guess this is spam, seeing as you have 1 post... and I said in my first message that I searched a lot but wasn't able to find anything useful.
You probably won't find that much information about this topic, well not useful information anyways. As far as i know, the tour doesn't work on a lot of android phones. The ones we have tested on are, Desire and wildfire. The reseller where we got the headphones from claims that the tour works with Nexus one, however i have not tested it. It would be interesting to know if other brands work...
P.s my beats studio works on all android phones with 3.5mm plug... and i have no idea why as physically, the plug is exactly the same.
Thanks for the info. Yep, I think it has something to do with the ControlTalk features on the cable... I tried my brother's Beats Solo, which came with the same ControlTalk cable, and they also didn't work.
I have an HTC Aria by the way. Just tried with Cyanogen 2.2 and also not working. Seems like we should be able to figure out a way to make this work, especially if it works on the Nexus One... they are both HTC phones after all. I wonder if there's a special driver for it installed on the Nexus One?
No dice on my Evo with my DiddyBeats. Wish I could take them back.
I actually got a Samsung Captivate and the mic works! Plus and minus controls don't, but at least I can answer/hang up/pause music and use the microphone.
And the answer is....
monstercable dot com (directory) mp3 (directory) controltalkworks
check your phone!
list...
Hmm the list is not very up to date....

click on 4th tab universal controltalk, more comp. devices....!!
Hi guido!
I am in the similar situation...
Have you found a solution to make it work??
I can confirm that controltalk does not work with the Epic 4G either. I am running NebulaROM 2.2.1, and was using the beats solo HDs. Looks like the controltalk universal is the only solution. If I find a place to purchase them online, I'll post links.
I can confirm too. I've got the diddybeats with controltalk and hangup doesn't work. But audio control works (play/pause, next/previous). The mic seems to be work too, but i must hangup manually on the phone.
yea i have the solos and i had the ibeats and the controltalk doesnt work on any android phones it sucks cuz now i have to pull my headphones off and pull the plug out to answer a call on my mt4g running cyanogen mod 7 nightly
This is wider than the Beats Tour.... I have in front of my original Nexus One headset, my Dad's Galaxy S headset, and my Beats Tour with Control Talk.
I call the landline and then used each headset in turn. Only the mic on my original Nexus One headset works!
On the Beasts, the Control Talk button muted and un-muted the call, but no mic!
At the black rings on all the plugs all line-up, I assume it's a driver issue?
At least my Beats work with my iPad....
Can't get the Monster iBeats with ControlTalk or the Etymotic Research HF3 headphones to work with my HTC Desire Z.
FWIW, the inline mic adapters (i.e. Shure Music Adapter microphone, Griffin Smart Talk) allow all the above headsets to work. I had the Shure Music Adapter for my noise-cancelling Sony headphones. I haven't tried to control music, but the inline mic definitely works for calls. The answer / disconnect controls work on the Griffin, haven't accidently hit the button on the Shure yet.
Yes, it does defeat the purpose of the inline mic on the headset and it is a lot of extra cord to deal with... but oh well, its a work around until someone figures it out.
It may be something with powering the inline controls which the HTC phones don't support. If it were a driver issue, I think someone on this forum would have solved it.
HTH,
Ken
what a crock... the mic is totally usable on my POS work curve 8520, but not my android desire z.
epic monster #fail... so pissed.
does anyone know if the original dre beats tour headphones microphone works?

hello,everyone ,I am damjy,it is my first post in this forum,I think it is necessary to make a short introduction,Don't you think so?I am a new member and I join in you just now,I am so glad to be here.Have a good time .
IIRC while reading thru the Head-fi forums, the beats are designed to be compatible for iphones.
IMHO, if you are looking for quality sounding headphones, just stay away from Dre Beats, Diddy beat, Bieber beats, GaGa beats, Ludicris new phones or even Bose. They suck, overpriced and just really great marketing and branding like Apple,
I use Panasonic HJE-900 and Custom Shelled TF10 myself.
Guys,
I think the ones you are after are the 'Controltalk UNIVERSAL'.
The standard 'controltalk' is designed for the Apple products I think.

[Q] Headset with Mike (Comfortable EarPads)

Hi,
I am looking for a mic,earphones that are more comfortable than the HTC sent ones are. I know that there ones out there on other parts of this forum but having spent £60 on a pair of seinheiser headphons and them not working, they work on the iphone though! And weirdly it is only the mic everything else works!
I would like someone to say that particular ones work on this particular device?
Anyone done this please,
Kind Regards,
Will
WP Central posted an article a couple of weeks ago, Klipsch is said to be working several headsets with microphone for Windows Phone 7: http://wpcentral.com/klipsch-working-wp7-compatible-headphones

I bought Headphone Earphone Mic for HTC T8686 7 BEETHOVEN Trophy price of $ 2.99 in http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_kw=Headset&_kw=htc&_kw=trophy
Jawbone is working great!
Bluetooth headsets take the best out of the trophy: skip tracks back and forward, voice commands, pause, redial, track title, etc.
I've been using Sony Ericson MW600 working like a charm.

Does beats works with Xperia play without adapter ?

?????
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2
Depends, which Beats? ControlTalk won't work, but with the Solos you get 2 cables. One works.
Look in the forum, as far as I remember this has been posted before but I can't find the post.
Now, to answer you, the short answer is not. And to clarify here's why:
SonyEricsson phones use a (jack) standard called OMTP (also does Nokia), while Sony phones (Xperia P, S, U, etc), Apple and almost every other company uses CTIA.
This obviously means that the headphones won't work, but...
The only difference between those two are the connection layout:
CTIA:
T-Left Audio
R1-Right Audio
R2-Ground
S-Mic
OMTP:
T-Audio Left
R1-Audio Right
R2-Mic
S-Ground
So to make them work you can buy or make an adapter that swaps R2 and S, or one that short-circuits both; the first kind will let you use the mic, volume control etc, while the other kind (a simple extension would do) won't.
Now, if you don't want to use ANY kind of adapter, not even a simple extension there's a way you can make them work:
It is supposed that once you push the central button on a headset (OMTP or CTIA, doesn't matter) what it internally does is short circuit R2 and S, so, if you manage to hold all the time the central button on your beats they should work, nevertheless the mic and so won't work either as their data goes through the S ring.
Being all that said here's an issue, even with the adapter they won't work, I'm not quite sure why, you can see my post about that issue, there I try to make work a headset like the beats on my Xperia.
I hope I helped you
I bought studio. It works.

Bro thanks for this suggestions but I didnt do anything but Studio works with no problem...

Oh, I see... sorry for my rant, I thought that you were talking about the ControlTalk enabled ones , since every 3.5 standard TRS headphone works with almost every phone .
Would a OMTP to CTIA concerter therefore double as a CTIA to OMTP adapter, following circuit logic, making OMTP work on my iPod Nano as well as CTIA on my PLAY?

Nah mate! The hardware restrictions will not allow you, no matter what kinda software you use.
CTIA & OMTP are two different hardware standards!

Beats seemed to work on my phone when I had cm9 but not on gingerbread. Although I might have fake beats: I'm not too sure.

[Q] Changing SBH50 name shown on my iPhone

Hi, I have used SBH50 for a long time and recently I managed to get a 2nd one. But now the problem is both devices are shown as "SBH50" on my iPhone MY devices list. I cannot differenciate them.
Is there any way to remotely or using a USB connection to change a bluetooth device like SBH50 (Or any bluetooth device like BT speaker)?
THanks!
FYI, this is neither a forum section for bluetooth headsets on iPhones or a forum secrion for iPhones, but one for the accessories for the Sony Xperia S, Acro S and Ion phones. This isn't a good place to ask such a question.
