I dont see why they wouldn't, I've been looking at these:
http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheise...ivate_headsets_mobile_music_502841?Open&row=2
But ouch at the price, same with those Klipsch ones, wow!

Just done a bit more research and I dont think the Klipsch ones will work with anything not Apple.
Image S4i FAQs
Will the Image S4i work with any cell phone?
The Image S4i is designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone 3GS. It will work with the iPhone 3G and first generation iPhone, but with limited functionality. The S4i’s volume up and down feature will not work on these older products. Because the S4i features an Apple chip, we cannot guarantee what level of functionality it will have with other cell phone brands.

dam thats a real shame, any how those headphones had top reviews and customer ratings. I know its a bit steep but worth a bit more i think.

I'll let you know how I get on with the Sennheiser's on this thread in good time.. anything you find out post here too please... I'm not happy at all with the set that are included so eager to upgrade asap.

guys dont waste money on them,.
Get the NuForce NE-7M
they are awesome headphones and the it has a mic built in
for half of the price, people say best IEMs for under $50 along with the Imetal 590s which you should also look at. as they both sound as good as more expensive headphones

Thankyooooo!
Most important accessory be the handsfree and you've just solved it for me
hope the button to answer calls works.. I dont mind not having volume control

They are good for Bass music so everything apart from classical
for something less bassy get the Maximo IP-HS2.

Another vote for the nuforce - they sound better than the klipsch - well worth it and the button works as does the Mic...

i am looking at headphones also.. where's the best place to order the nuforce-ne-7m from? how would they compare to say the sennheiser cx-500's?

SKs are really quite bad, if your used to cheap headphones then they will be ok sounding but if u heard NE7/NE6 or soundmagic pl50 or maximo im590/hs2 then you would never go back.

I got the (Logitech) Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi
They work perfectly as they only have 1 single button:
- Press: Accept/End call or Play/Pause music while playing.
Great bass and an acceptable (sealed) in-ear fit (there are 3 sizes, I needed the largest)

Can anyone confirm a set who still are able to change number and answer calls for the Desire?

Regards the Nuforce, just to check, they provide identical controls to the original ones that come with the handset?

[Q] Stereo Bluetooth Jabra HALO vs Rocketfish RF-MAB2

Hello,
I am planning to buy a stereo bt headset to use with phone and computer. I am having Jabra HALO and Rocket fish RF-MAB2 as my options. Any one have experience with one of these how is the quality and durability?
BTW I am considering Jabra because they are cheap today at http://mobile.dailysteals.com/ for just 25 + some shipping, But are they any good? how is the audio quality of Rocketfish. I am fine with not good looks but I really want good audio quality...so any insight on this would be great also please suggest me if there are any options around $60-$70 price tag..
thanks!

Jabra BT3030 is another option if you want to use your own headphones.

I am not to sure about price range , but I can tell you I bought motorola 's S9HD about 20 months ago , best purchase ever and eventhe mic quality is decent I dont get complaints eventho its obvious Im using a headset ,but for music the sound quality is just GREAT (battery life to! )
I bought mine on eBay with no box cost me around 100$ shippe to Canada ( almost 2 yrs ago), dont forget to get the HD one , not the regular one , it really is worth every penny .

I have the rocketfish....
but it all depends on what your going to use it for.
for everyday stuff the motorola is nice. very good quality from what i heard.
but if you are going to be working out and have sweat and rain than i suggest the rocketfish. it doesnt say its waterproof but it takes a better beating than the motorola.
but on the jabra im not sure.
the rocketfish isnt superior in sound but its good and when talking the person on the other side cant seem to tell that its a headset. ^^
hope that helps

Hey thanks guys....that helps a lot. To be honest I am looking for a headphone with excellent audio quality in budget..and mostly I will be using it while traveling only. Also I dont mind the mic call quality..actually I was thinking of some good wired phones like bose without mic but then I realized that third party phones dont always work good with excellent custom ROMs that are out here..and I just noticed that motorola's headphones comes with BT adapter for iPod which is good addition! but all I really care about is audio quality..so I guess moto is good right ??? or any other good options out there.. as it is I will be buying around thanksgiving so right now exploring the options and once decided I will hunt for deals

I bought the S9 (not HD) from Moto last year on Amazon for $29 - sound great for the price. I use them when working out, but otherwise i liked the wired earbuds.

I have the Rocketfish and i love them! Previously i had the Motorola s9-HD and they hurt my ears because they went in the ear. The Rocketfish rest against the ear like the old school sony headphones that wrapped around the head.

I recommend the Sony Ericsson Mw600.
Most flexible BT headset as you can plug in your own headphones. Alsp has a FM radio to boot.
Definitely worth the investment

Hi waghoba - Did you end up with the Jabra BT-650? I was looking at them after you had made your inquirey on that discount site. I started seeing what kind of reviews I could find. By the time I got around to deciding I'd give them a try they were sold out.

Same here. When I decided to buy them, they were sold out. Now I am looking for new deals on some good headphones. Although I was looking for Bluetooth headsets, many people suggested me to buy wired ones for good audio quality.

What's everyone using for IEMs? Looking for recommendations in the sub $130 range.

I highly recommend the Triple Driver Headphones from 1More
http://www.amazon.com/1MORE-Triple-Driver-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B01A7G35S0
As someone who owns 35 different pairs of headphones. These are a STEAL at their price and offer really quality playback.

Looks very nice. Any experience with the RHA MA750s?

Unfortunately I have not experienced any RHA products myself but they definitely look really clean and would match the HTC10 well

For anyone who's looking for cheap buds, the LG Quadbeats 3 sound pretty good. They actually sound better than my Bose IE2s because of the great isolation on a high quality source. They came with my G4 and sounded so cheap. Perfect example of the 10 making cheap buds sound amazing.

I have the rha ma750, bought it a few years ago. I do recommend it for the $130 range. I also have the rha t20.
Sony mdr ex750ap is also very nice with many colours and great sound.
Vsonic gr07 classic and gr07 bass are great as well.

A decent pair of earbuds, the Klipsch R6. Can't go wrong with, especially if you buy the Isolation Comply Tips. You'll get some great sound from them. That's the combo I use.

Got the RHA MA750 a few days ago. Very pleased. Phenomenal clarity and balance overall. A little less bassy and warm than I was expecting though. Although I've read they get better after a good break in period.
Thinking about trying the Shure se215s just to compare.
Still keeping the MA750s regardless though, between comfort and build quality they're well worth the price.

i have shure se215s, very nice, detachable cable, bit bass heavy but very durable.

Just received these myself and the sound quality is phenominal once you get the set dialed in with the right tips.
However, I think the button functions dont work properly, or mine are broken. Do your button controls work properly?
Top button works for Vol+
Middle button is stop/start, 2 presses nothing. three presses next track
Bottom button does nothing.
Im gonna contact 1more but am curious if yours work ok.

When switching from an iOS device and an android device I often find issues for the controls to work properly haha.
Most of the time the controls work flawlessly hopefully it gets better overtime. If you get a response back let me know what they say! Also, I agree so much haha these headphones are absolutely amazing and for the price they are absolutely amazing!!

I will post here if they reply. I didnt come from IOS though. My last phone was the LG G2. Oddly the controls work on that phone, except for skipping back one track.
I'm guessing that maybe HTC didnt stick to a standard implementation.
So Im assuming your button controls dont work either? I cant tell by your reply if you answered my question?!?

I am a proud new owner of a Carbon Gray HTC 10! (coming from Failsung S7)
My sugestions for HTC 10 (of the same color) users:
AKG Y50 Black
AKG N20U Black
AKG K450
Sennheiser HD 2.20s
Philips Fidelio L2BO/27
Philips Fidelio S2BK/28
Senfer UEs (Dinamic driver + balanced armature)
KZ ZST (Dinamic driver + balanced armature)

A short update on the 1more Triple drivers. Support said that the inline button issues were fixed for android on their titanium color set. Apparently the black/gold have not been fixed yet (old stock?).
They offered to switch them out for me. Sucks cause I dont really want that color, but for $100 I want them to work properly. And they sound incredible so I'll deal.
For now, if anyone plans to buy them, get titanium color if you want the inline controls to work properly. I asked them on eta for corrections to black stock. Will update if I lean more.
I came from using sure's, xiaomi piston 2 and dual drivers, and sennheiser momentum in ears. These 1more triples shatter those in comparison of sound quality. I mean its not even a contest. Ive heard $1,500 cans that sound worse.

I'm unsure of how good they are, but the HTC Hi Res Audio earbuds and JBL Reflect Aware C Earphones are both 40% off if you sign up to join Team HTC. I bought the Hi Res Audio ones for less than $20. They should be here today (only took 2 days to ship).

the hi res sound great... but you gotta be careful with them... the wires are weak and will disconnect inside

Yes -.-
my Hi Res earbuds broke on the right side after 2 months....
Then i bought the Xiaomi Hybried IEM. For 18$ really nice stuff.
I think they're also designed by 1More.

Shure Se-215 with aftermarket cables from ebay that allow the in-line buttons to work on Android. They have a in-line mic as well. The se-315 are supposedly great too, a bit more $.
I also actually love the Amazon buds. $15 and they are great. Fit is nice, buttons work and in-line mic, sound is decent and I love that they are not sound isolating. Great for walks and hikes where you'd like to hear traffic and such.

Yea. 1more currently makes all of the xiaomi piston range and dual drivers. I have them all. Its what convinced me to try the triple drivers. In comparison to the dual drivers the triples are really 10x better sound quality. Not knocking any of the xiaomi range. At their price points they are all the best there is in the low end $ range, ......by far. I personally think the Piston 2's are fantastic, although base heavy.
As an aside, I also have thr JBL reflect and the HiRes HTC's. Guys, they are not even close to being anything near the right quality to take advantage of the DAC and amp on the 10. Rhey sound horrible. I'd rather use my non aptx photive bth3's than those.
My replacement 1mores's should be here tomorrow. I'll update on whether the controls actually work right on the 10.

Best budget Bluetooth headphones

Hi guys,
Now I've made the move to the pixel, I kinda gotta get some wireless earphones....
I'll be using them mainly for the gym so fit had to be good. In ear headphones tend to 'pop' out my ears but I've never tried the ones with supports (hooks).
Currently using apple headphones which have always fit me well
Any recommendations from you guys??

Anker slimbuds on amazon with aptx.

I totally recommend Bluedio TE. It is total bang for the buck at a price of 10$ (varies between 10$-15$). Even one of the most popular tech reviewer UnboxTherapy did a review of this tiny beast.

Stock akg earphones keep falling from ears

Anyone facing the same issue? , I damn sure some of us would be facing this issue with akg, and I tried all the ear plugs provided, but to no luck... Planning to buy new earphones, anyone hav any suggestion on fixing this?

Those AKG earbuds don't work in my ears either, but my 17yr son said they are his absolute favorite and fit the best.
I guess everyone's ears are different enough that some designs don't work.
The AKG's just don't seem to go in deep enough into my ears. I usually end up getting the $40-$60 SkullCandy earbuds and like those (which my son says hurts his ears).

They are good as a backup pair (when you can't find your primary ones). Sound quality is somewhat okay, but the fit really makes it difficult to be a daily driver.

I don't have an issue with them falling out but they do lose their seal letting in ambient sound and loss of bass. They sound great when a good seal is maintained. I typically use them when I'm on a tractor or other equipment for hearing protection and to enjoy music.
No comparison to my UE10 pro custom IEM (of course) but better than say airpods.
I have not tried other sized tips though.

Something I do with ALL in ear headphones is create custom moulds for your ear. Google Proguard custom earplugs and you get a kit to make custom ear plugs. While theyre soft, press the headphones(without the buds) into the mould and let it set. Then cut out a small hole for the audio to come through and youll have the best sound possible from those headphones as theyre custom to your ears.
Loads of videos on YT too

Akg headphones is 1,000,0000 times better than my beats audio. It's def made for s10+. Pairs this headphone with viper4android.....you get deep bass and rich audio

Same here. The AKG buds is some of the best i have got with a phone. My first pair was from Galaxy S8 i have used them a lot at work, and they are great . Now i have another pair from Galaxy s 10 and i understand why Samsumg have kept this model for 3 gens. And they are Hard to kill the wires are strong

From earbuds, 2 wires will join into 1. At the join, there's small ring. Pull that up. It will stay....

U need a "wet willy" first then put on your headphones

I ordered these a while back, i like them and sound way better than the akg.

Sadly I'm so unlucky all earbuds don't fit in my ear for some reason... I have glasses so no sport buds too... Headphones for me

Did you try switching the silicone cushions/focusers? The ones in there to begone with are mediums or so I'd say. In the box your phone came in there should be a small and large set. Try that

Search Amazon for those spongy ear-bud tips. I got a box of 10 of them for less than $10 and they make all my ear-buds fit better and are more noise canceling.

Fix your ears or get a new pair of ears lol

Looking for portable/ wireless earphones
For me AKG works best. It has got crystal-clear sound and deep powerful bass. Also they are tangle free, because of the fabric braided cable.
However i am looking for portable headphones or wireless earpods.
Do let me know the best options available.

Apple AirPods Pro - if you want good sound quality and comfort; Jabra Elite Active 75t - if you want active and passive noise cancellation. The latter has a more balanced sound but you would have to listen to both to make a sane decision. You might not like either of those in the end.
