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.

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.

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 have good corded earphones with integrated microphone and answer button that acts also as a playlstop button for the audio player on phone.
My question is, is there some simple bluetooth adapter that I can attach my earphones to it, and use them as wireless earphones?
I Know there are many expensive adapters with integrated microphone and controls but I already have earphones With good microphone and controls I I only need a simple adapter.
Thanks in advance.
Sony Ericsson MW600 allows you to connect your own headphones. I have it and it is great. It does have it's own mic though so not sure how it would cope with another mic on the headphones.
So that's what my question is about, because i don't want to buy it and then it won't work well with my earphones.
Couldn't wait to set up combo mw600+ibeats

Hi,
Has anyone ever used any of the 2 below headphones?
Sony Fashion DJ Headphones for iPod / iPhone / MP3 Devices
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Fashio...evices/dp/B006HTVC0A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Sony DR-ZX302VP Headphones
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DRZX30...46&sr=1-2&keywords=Sony+DR-ZX302VP+Headphones
Which ones are better or they pretty much the same? I've not had a chance to try any of these ones out...
Thanks

To me looks like the same, except for in-line remote. DJ version has a typical apple remote with volume +/- and multi-function button. With android volume +/- will not work, but that single button works perfectly for play/pause, pickup/hangup the call, and you can also configure double/triple click to skip next/prev songs. The other version of these headphones has a weird analog style volume control and I can't see multi-function button. That would be a deal breaker for me. Do you have any local music shops around where you live in UK? If you do, take a trip with your phone to test out different cans. I'm not too familiar with latest Sony headphones, although do use their ancient MDR7506 model for music production since they have just a plain vanilla "boring" frequency response. Also in the past had MDR-V600, and that one didn't impress me with sound quality, was more geared for DJs with too much bass.
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.

wait so the s4 earphones work with the volume buttons and stuff?
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.

Absolutely love them. Volume buttons work flawlessly.
Be sure to buy the original ones!
got mine from here.

SmartKey
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.

I hate the S4 headphones....I still have a pair of my old S3 headphones which I found were better and yes volume up and down and blah blah blah all work on the Z1
Sorry that I'm writting to 2 years old theard but ..
I have Xiaomi Hybrid and remote control isn't working problem is that it's not working on CM12.1 on Stock rom it was working without problem.
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... :/

might not be what you are looking for but it worked for me with the iphone headset. you're limited to one button but it might be better than nothing.
