Does anyone know if any 3 button earphones that wrap around the ear exist?
I have not had any luck finding any wired earphones that both have 3 buttons and wrap around the ear. I have never had any luck getting the normal earbud earphones to stay in my ear when running, so the around the ear feature is a must, but the best I have been able to find of those have only one button, making it hard to control both tracks and volume.
have you considered stereo bluetooth headsets?
i use the plantronics backbeat 903+ and it works perfectly.

I figure that the extra weight from the batteries along with the hassle of having to remember to charge the batteries would make bluetooth headphones more of a hassle than wired ones.
it's 34grams. if your ears can't handle 34grams combined, then you are waay too sensitive imo.
and it's got 7 hrs of continuous use. I'd say it's a minor inconvenience for not having to deal with wires pulling on your earphones all the time.
EDIT: For perspective.... 34 grams is something like 9 sugar cubes... and that's distributed across 2 ears. so... you're looking at 17 grams on each ears.

Even IF in ear h-phones dont git you, they have special clips to hołd them inside.

They don't seem to have the wrap around the ear models.

I need to retire my old Moto S305 set soon. What should I get? Or if there is a compelling reason to get a wired set with inline mic let me know. Whatever it may be it will need to handle sweat- I wear mine while working out. Thanks!

None of the stereo bluetooth headsets are going to be sweat proof. Some are sweat resistant though. If you're worried about sweat, you can get a 3.5mm bluetooth adapter for $25 to work with a 3.5mm headset designed for working out.
Yeah, perhaps I should have worded that differently. I doubt my S305s are rated as sweat proof or even sweat resistant but they have lasted a couple years. They still work but the plastic is starting to warp and I'm sick of the foam ear padding detaching as it's a pain to repack it in there.
So I want something that is as durable as they were. I don't mind buying a new set every couple years.
Do you have a link for that adapter? I'd like to take a look.

The foam padding occasionally pops off. Not too hard to repack. Just use a nail file or something similar to pop the ring just outside one of the speakers. The foam padding just wraps around it. Then snap the ring back into place. Takes like 5 mins or less.
Thanks for the advice on my headset. Works much better than repacking without removing the ring like I was attempting!
But your link....I don't think thats the correct adapter for the job. But I'm sure I can find the appropriate item if I decide to go that route.

If the padding comes off often, just superglue the padding to the ring. That's what I did to my Motorola S305 headphones.
are you guys running aosp or sense with your S305s? I've used a pair with my BT audio devices for awhile but i get skips when i'm not in line of sight (phone behind me in my cycling jersey) and i'm trying to see if anyone else has similar issues.
For the sweat resistant headset question, what about the moto S9HD? they're marketed as being sweat resistant i believe. Having used S305's i think you're already used to having the wraparound band behind your head. Only difference between the two is that one is a headphone and of course the S9HD are earphones.
I'm using Sense. When I'm working out I use cheap $10 headphones with a headphone jack.

I don't get this. Why would you buy a bluetooth adapter for a device that already has bluetooth built in??
Regardless, i have one of those adapters for my ipod and it works perfectly
I think he meant a Bluetooth receiver/adapter for regular headphones to plug into. That's why I questioned his link.

I use these at work. I haven't had any problems with them. The headset that comes with it is a little short, but it has a 3.5mm headset jack so any pair of wired headphones would work. It also has a built in FM tuner so you can listen to the radio too.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some bluetooth headphones and hope some of you have some experience and can help me.
Basically I'm looking for something like this: (just so you get a rough idea) http://www.desinformado.com/wp-cont...lantronics-backbeat-go-wireless-earphones.jpg
They should:
- be light
- Have a runtime of >=5 hours
- be easy to use while doing sports
- Not cost more than 60€
- have a play/pause button, maybe a next/previous song button as well
If you have any experience and can help me, I'd be grateful
ditto...
I'm interested as well...

SE MW-600?
I have been looking/googling for these last week.
SE MW-600 has many purpose. can be used for sports(in ear buds but still might fall). same with Samsung HS3000(cheapest of them all). There is also the Jabra clipper and jabra Sport.
with your budget of 60 euros, you can get the sample that you gave(Plantronics/there was one online with a hook). or you can find the one from motorolla (S10HD)but the reviews were not good regarding audio quality.
Just to give you a bigger choice: You don't need pause, skip etc. buttons.
One button is enough, then you can remap them for example like this: one click: play; two clicks; pause; long click; skip one click, long press; skip backward.
And as far as I know, Android doesn't support more than one button, so this is anyway nonsensical. :laugh:
Hello,
I have 2 BT headphones, Sony Ericsson MW600 and Jaybird Freedom, I just the first at work and the latter in the gym, specially to run.
Feature wise, MW600 has that beautiful oled display which not only shows the phone number for incoming calls but also the artist/song name while listening to music. It also has 5 buttons for play/pause, next, previous, power, answer/hangup. The volume is controled in a "touch strip" so you slide your finger to one side to increase the volume and to the other to decrease it. Honestly I'd like better if there where regular volume buttons, instead of this "touch strip", but it isn't really a problem for me.
This headset has the advantage of having a 3.5mm connector for the earphone so you can easily replace it in case yours break or use the one you like better.
As for the Jaybird Freedom has no display, but has 4 buttons for play/pause, volume up/next, volume down/previous and power. The main advantage of this headset IMHO is his design, meaning that the whole unit (battery, earpieces, bluetooth receiver etc) are a single unit so you won't have any gadget dangling as you run or workout, it just stays in place, sturdy in my ear. The downside of this approach are the slightly bulk earpieces, but this don't bother me at all.
Sorry if the text got a little long, but I wanted to pass along my experience with these 2.
Edit: I use both with my Galaxy S II, but I also used it with the Motorola Atrix I had.
Best regards,
Fernando Toledo

I have been using the Backbeat 903 from Plantronics for quite a while and I am very satisfied with it. It's not as tiny and the Backbeat Go but it is lightweight and got all buttons functionality. A search on ebay will land you prices less than $50.
Hope this helps
I'm using the Samsung Hs 3000 BT earphones. They cost about 30 Euro, are easy to use and perfect for sports! They can be fixed to clothes and even survived my washing mashine.
I had Plantronics Backbeat 903+ , I used them for running and biking but they aren't sweatproof and after some trainings I sent them back to the reseller because they started to work bad. I suggest H2O Audio products if you want something sweatproof and waterproof.
I found my Beats Bluetooth Headset fully functional on my Wanamlite ROM.
Inclues: Next and Previous Track, Play /Pause, Answer / Drop Calls and Volume Controls.
Makes my music life... wireless! XD
I've taken a look at all of them. H2o audio seems great, but I don't understand why they don't offer bluetooth headsets. They are making waterproof gear, but do not offer bluetooth for that???
Anyway, the jaybird freedom seems awesome, I'm going to get those, thanks man

Loving my new SE-MW600
I am using Jabra Street 2 and they are perfect for me.
I use the HM3700 by Samsung. Nice earphone. Excellent sound quality with two caveats:
The bloody app doesn't work for me but it does for others and the connector on the earphone is microUSB so when your battery FINALLY depletes (lasts for a tidy minute).... you're stuck without headphones as you can't use them without the bluetooth connector (which doubles as a monoheadset too).
It's ergonomic and comfortable though.
I do not like earbuds so need over or on ear headphones. I want wired since I already have a pair of Bluetooth headsets and do not want to drain my battery. There does not seem to be much out there and what there is cost $100+. I am not such of an audiophile that I need to spend that kind of money.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Doc
This may sound a little wierd , but the iphone headphones work pretty well with my evo. I can play and unpause music with a button, the headphones have a mic and are on the ear, none earbud headphones .

Thanks poszy for the tip. I put in iPhone wired mic headphones and found a couple from Phillips which are made for Android. I just need to decide if I want to spend the money for the more expensive pair.

If you like full sized headphones like I do, I highly recommend Wireless Rythym by Miikey Stereo. The sound quality, bass response, efficiency and ease of use is out of this world.
Keep in mind that I have been through more than 10 different headsets in the last 2 years. I think I have finally found what I have been looking for.

I got my set at Fry's for $50. I can see them being a problem with someone with a large head though, as the cord isn't very long. I also have experience with the Moto S10's which are also nice.
Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth. They are in-ear earbuds but you can simply unplug them and plug in any other headphone that have the 3.5mm plug turning them into Bluetooth. So you can take your favorite wired headphone and make them Bluetooth. I wear them everyday and they are only $40-$50 on Amazon.

I recently bought a pair of future sound lab zero headphones (also for use at the gym) and am quite satisfied with them. Very comfortable and great sound quality.
Only annoyance is the non-standard charging plug. Would've been better if they'd used a mini or micro usb port.
I really like my chinese BH-503 headphones. It's seems to be original Nokia, but so cheap on chinese shops (you can easily find it on ebay). Good sound quality and work time.

I've been using these for about 3 years without a problem. Paired with Poweramp's equaliser, you can really tune them to suit your taste and genre of music. They're also decent on battery, cheap, and eady to modify.
I bought a pair of Motorola S305 headphones, they are over the ear style, the band goes behind the neck, they charge with standard micro usb, the sound is decent, a little static in my ears on phone calls, but people say they can hear me better than on my phone alone. I've recommended them to my friends, and four of them bought them, all but one still loving them. The other sold them for inner ear bud style ones.
I'm still using mine, still loving them
Oh, and like $30 on newegg

I agreee for the money these are the way to go,,ebay.
I can't for the life of me find the article I'm looking for. I remember seeing a comparison chart of headphones, whether they had 1 or 3 buttons, if they had their own app, and Android / ios compatibility.
I currently am using a pair of plantronics backbeat 116s (ear buds) and my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (in ear) headphones. Missing the volume, play pause, etc my blackberry premium multimedia headphones had.
I tested a pair of monster brand sport earphone. They had a neat shark fin to keep them in. And they let some ambient sound through as well. Unless I'm on a plane, I don't care to have 90% of sound around me blocked. I hate hearing myself breathe or the sound the cables make while running. But the buttons on the monsters didn't work.
I guess I'd consider bluetooth but I'm almost scared to use any because of issues I've read.
Under $50 would be great but I could go higher if I had to.
So what's the verdict?

I had a pair of those as well, but the inline remote buttons finally shorted out (which shouldn't have happened because they are supposed to be waterproof...)
Anyway, any earbuds with iPod three button inline controls: the volume buttons will do nothing on the Maxx. The Play/Pause button works for me. I have used it with Pocketcasts and Google Music. This was basically just to test - I still use my iPod Touch for most podcast/music listening, mostly because I love the the remote volume buttons.
I now use Bose sport earbuds. They are expensive, though lifetime warranty. Again, play/pause works, volume buttons do nothing. Apple earbuds with inline controls: the same thing happens.
I have never tried making a phone call with earbuds plugged in, though.
Have you checked out the Klipsch ear buds? Not sure if they work or not but they are ones I have been looking at.
