The Motorola Bluetooth ones work.

I would expect bluetooth to work. The interface is entirely different.
I guess I was just spoiled with the setup that came with my Nokia N97. The wired headset allowed you to use whichever 3.5mm jack headphones you wanted, and had controls for volume, next & previous, pause/play, stop, and phone answer/hangup. Plus a lockout switch, microphone, and antenna for FM radio with RDS. When I tried it on the Captivate, I had sound, but it was very hollow and about half as loud.
I also learned that when you unplug the headphones, the music automatically pauses and the virtual 5.1 surround, if enabled, is disabled and has to be selected again after connecting the headphones.
I do like the design of the stock Captivate wired headset, but the low end frequency response just isn't there. Seems like anything below 150hz is inaudible. I'm still using the earbuds that came with my Pioneer Inno portable XM radio and they're my reference by which I judge all other earbuds. I'm not sure what company made them (maybe Pioneer?) but they are the best ones I've used yet. Granted, I haven't tried anything from Shure, Bose, or the like.
I've been using my Ultimate Ears TF10vi, and the play/plause button works just fine but they have no volume control, so can't comment on that specifically.
I also haven't tried to use the mic yet, so I don't know if that works or not - I heard the Galaxy S had some weird issue with the wiring that made it incompatible, but haven't tested with the Captivate.
I am very surprised that the ones provided by Samsung didn't provide a volume control..
I am too. The volume rocker still works while playing and the screen is locked.

Tested my iPhone's headphone... only play/pause works and I was surprised it did!
Does anyone think the Skullcandy 50/50 earphones would work?
I have skull candy and no go on the volume control. I think it's just not supported.

Ok so what model do you guys each have
headset
I bought these yesterday on a whim

All buttons work, and the sound is actually good.
Looking at them i was like "" then I was "" after seeing the price.
I figured what the heck and got them, figuring i could return them.
After using them for awhile, I give them "".
If you have a big head, these probably will not be what you want.
I am in no way a fan of the box club, but the price is right.
I've been using my wife's that came with her HTC Aria and they have play/pause and forward and backward buttons on them and none of them work.
On a side note, I hate the in-ear headphones, anybody know of a good pair that sit on the outside of your ear, like the old iphone ones?

The stock Blackberry headphones work. No volume control on them. Just one button. It works for calls and music and it's not in-ear.
Here it is on the Android Central store. Nevermind... Can't post links yet apparently. Go to the Android Central store and click on the Captivate and take a look at the headsets.
Are headphones w/ in-line mic compatible with the EVO?
I'm not big on Bluetooth pieces and was wondering.....
Thanks.
I have a pair of skullcandy fmj's and they work...

NO, DON'T! IF YOU TRY TO USE THEM THEY WILL EXPLODE IN UR EARS!
But seriously, they will work fine. If they have an inline button it will even control your media apps.
If it works with an iOS device or Blackberry, and is the standard headphone jack (ie, not a headset jack) size, then it'll work.
</thread>
Yes they will work (using it now)but test them before buying as apple has started putting drm chip in some of them making it so you can't use mic /button on non apple hardware (I found that's true in some non apple brand ones too) and had a pair that didn't work with mine

i bought a pair of the klipsch s4i headphones. the play/pause button works, but not the volume up down buttons. the headphones rock, though. and, the mic on them works fine and dandy. i'd give 4/5 stars (only taking one off for the aforementioned volume up down problems) for the evo. they're designed for iphone, is why some button incompatibility.
they sound great though. i love them.
+1 on the Skullcandy fmj's, probably one the better sets of headphones I've used. Wear them all them while on my bike, great sound, blocks some of the sound of my loud pipes. I'd highly recommend them.

I think that the Evo just doesn't have any support for volume up/down. The mic and play/pause button are non-Apple standards (they existed before the iPhone was announced) but AFAIK the volume control is Apple specific.
i got a pair of monster ibeats and i was wondering if there was any 3 button headset apps or music apps that can make all 3 buttons work. the center button works but the volume buttons do not. i have already tried jays, headset button controller and headset control and non of them let me use the other buttons. from what i can find out it has something to do with the framework of android. the ibeats are made for an apple based but is there anyway around this???? please any more info would be nice since i just got these headphones and there AWESOME. i dont really need the buttons to work but would be nice since they were pricey...
Sell them and get the klipsch s4a that are made for android just as good if not better sound quality.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
actually, no don't sell them for a klipsch s4a set, because you will run into the same (if not worse) problems. you aren't going to get any better than what you have right now. all idevice headsets function fine as one button headsets. doing my own searching has told me that a special circuit board in the controls is the only way to get any headset working like an idevice set. and even then it would be no guarantee. samsung has their headphone jack wired a little differently so even any headset made for android devices would have trouble here.
it isn't just the klipsch s4a i'm talking about here. it's all the android headsets with all samsungs running android. maybe samsung will release a 3 button headset or someone would produce an adapter that will fix that problem. either way i wouldn't go around selling anything just yet.

Try using the app power amp I dont have a pair of ibeats but they have headset controls in the settings.
Ive tried power amp and other apps and no use for the other two buttons...i guess i gota live with it. The headphones are awesome. Just bugs me i can use all the features...but thanks for the info, i didnt know that samsungs are mad a little different than other android devices.

I´ve read some similar threads on other phones´subforums but I´d like to hear from people here, as not all earbuds allow volume control on the HTC One X (I´ve tried the iphone earbuds and it could not control the volume on the HOX).
Basically I want an in ear earbud that will allow me to control the volume and has a mic. I will use them for running (since the phone is strapped to my arm in a case I cannot control the volume via phone) and every once in a while I accidentally rip the cord off. So, either is has to be cheap so I may replace them from time to time or more expensive but extremely resistant, I don´t want one of those that wraps around you head, since I would also like to use everyday and need to be able to stick them on my pocket.
Any advice?

You can not use volume control on any phone but iPhone since Apple owns it.
If you want a good resistant and powerful headset, I'd recommend Sennheiser, or in particular the MM70i, which I own, but it's not cheap, bought it with 25% discount. It has the best sound ever, great insulation, has microphone and three buttons (Volume +/- but it will not work for android, Middle button that you can decide what it will do on your phone) 1.4M cable, compact and weighs 11 grams I think, its durable, beautiful design, comes with 6 paris of buds, and a case.
Get the ue 350vm, it has a rolling volume control, plus with the headset controller app from the play store you could configure number of clicks for different controls. Mine are one click- call answer, end or mute or pause, 2 clicks- last call dialed, next track, 3 clicks- previous track, 4 clicks- volume control in steps till you press once again as it reaches desired volume.
The 350vm has great sound plus a good Mic too.
The above mentioned controls can be configured on any headset with one button.

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.

it doesn't work with my iBeats sadly... thanks for the input tho I'll try on my sennheisers later
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.

Most earbuds tend to be programmed specifically for Apple devices, unfortunately.

This right here :good:
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?

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.

Thanks for the heads up, might invest in a pair or two of them... (got a alot of earphones already but whatever )
I'll buy the Sony Smart Headset MH1C when I get my Z1 back, thanks @richardchiu
I'll report if it works!
Sony Xperia Z1 refuses all Apple headphones. But most brand headphones can work for Z1.

Well, I use Smart Key app, in order to get the earphone button configured the way i want it too. It is not the most complete option, but it worked fine to me.
