Hi
Are there any headphones / earphones which have a remote control for music control. There are loads of them for the iPhone, but any of them that is compatible with the SGS2?

I'm using "Headset Button Controller" to control a pair of iPhone headphones.
It only works with the center button, but it supports single/double/triple key presses. So it controls: start/stop, and advance to the next song, as well and answer/disconnect incoming calls.
If u r looking for bluetooth ones, just make sure they support AVRCP.
If u r looking for wired ones, most of those vol+/- buttons won't work, but yes, still are compatible.

Posted this on the other thread. Might be of interest to you:
I have a pair of Beats by Dre with Control Talk (for iphone/ipod) and the functionality is the same. The play/pause button works but the vol up/down buttons don't.
Also, I have a pair of Shure 215. They are more bass-prominent than "signature Shure" sound but they don't muffle mids and highs like the Beats do. Anyway, I found these from Earphonesolutions after I got a SGS2.
SHURE SE215A ANDROID & BLACKBERRY COMPATIBLE EARPHONES
(not letting me post a link due to my low post count)
The description says works with "most Android phones" so I guess they're not guaranteeing anything. Too bad I got a pair of those without the buttons before I got the phone. But I thought it might interest some people.
HTC headphone are working great (with all buttons).You can find them anywhere on the internet..
STIL...if i remember well,they are fully working with certain kernels.
Ițm using Nimphetaminețs kernels
I use the Zagg Smartbuds witch works great.
I have a set of the bose ear bud headphones that worked unbelievably on my HTC HD2's and the answer button worked too. with the sII, nothing buttons work and the volume is pretty low.
could an app fix that?
Hey, found this piece of gadgetry - Etynomic MC2. Looks promising, any ideas from anyone about how these are. Apparently they have an Android remote.

I've had the old school Etymotics back in the past, they were great sounding, especially in the high end and mids. However, Etymotics are known to skim on the low end, so if you are a bass thumper, I would avoid unless you can tune the EQ like in Poweramp.
Not sure about the remote working with Android, I've had good customer experience with them, so I think what is listed on their site is true. Though I would email them beforehand to make sure.
Sorry double posting
I am using SE MW600, it can skip to the previous or next track, play and pause, show you the song title, and also show you the phone no of the incoming or outgoing call. The sound quality is good. you should try it out.
I heard Klipsch S4i works well .. I dont have so I cant confirm just browse through the forum you will get it
The HOX has Beats Audio inside but somehow I'm not able to fully use my Power Beats with my phone as the mic work work most of the time. I actually got it to work once after resetting the device with the headset plugged in, but since then, nothing.
The original headset works perfectly, but still I would love to be able to use my regular headset with my phone. Any fix

well it should work without any problems but if you are rooted then you can try this mod:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692233
its effect is system wide and
u can also goto your music and play any song and then click on the 3 dots on top right corner after that you will find an option for sound enhancer
there you can choose beats audio or other options{ may be this option is on stock ROM also} u can try checking it
on and off
Hello all,
After a few more tries, here what I picked up: While plugging my power beats to the One X, the "headset+mic" icon could be replaced by the "headset" icon. When it's the latter, the mic works flawlessly. Whenever the "headset+mic" icon is displayed, then the mic won't work.
Weird, especially when it should at least be the other way around. The question is, what can cause my phone to recognize the same headset as a regular headset or as a headset+mic?

What is your Rom code? I think you are using AT&T or Tegra 3 Chip?
Is everyone aware of most beats (except for HTC editions) are made for iPhone and iPods? That means volume.buttons on there will not work, the Mic might work but since its not native to android there will be some bugs

I can't seem to find the ROM code ... @ZeroInfinity, I understand that and that's why i'd like to pinpoint the bug causing this and hopefully find a fix for it. If it wasn't working altogether I wouldn't even bother. But when it works then don't, I guess there's a logic behind it

I opened a thread about the same problem not so long ago as I searched for a solution and not seen this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860611
It only occurred when I updated to 2.17.. On 1.28 before hand the beats worked flawless! Just hope it's fixed in next update (miss my daily music!).. Works sometimes just takes a good few times (unplugging headphone/plugging in headphone) and have give up as i don't want to damage my audio jack!

Related issue. . .
So I have an HTC One X+ and powerbeats. My issues/question is this--can I completely disable the inline remote? Because when I wear mine in the gym, after a while (clearly related to perspiration/moisture) the music player will start to randomly skip to the next track. I love the sound/fit of the headphones but it's unbelievably annoying to have it just start to skip 2-3-4 songs at a time while I'm running! I don't need/use the mic/controls so I'd be happy to just simply turn them off.
Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Hello.
I just updated my Xperia S from CM9 to CM10, and it's great!
But I have this one problem which ruins the whole experience for me. Whenever I plug in my headphones (I use the new Apple Earpods) the sound still goes through the speaker. The only way to get the sound through the earphones is holding the play button when I plug it in, but then the music pauses after 1 second, and when I press play it just goes through the speaker again.
I tried using the 'audio_policy.conf' from the CM10 thread, and I set the permissions correctly, but it didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Because now I can't listen to my music.
Thanks
agree

I have a set of buds with an inline Mic and buttons. To get them to work I have to hold one of the buttons while plugging in. As I don't use these for phone calls I don't know what function the button controls. Labels are gone.

Hello, ive got an XperiaS myself and ive gone from the latest AOKP to the latest P.A.C ROM and i have the same problem... when i was using stock and MIUI the headphone jack worked perfectly, so i know it's not the hardware

I noticed this too, I think it's because Apple earphones need proprietary Sony drivers to work and FXP can't use these as they're proprietary.
I was just thinking, is it possible to copy the lib (or whatever file) that makes the headphones work on stock to CM9? I know it won't work with CM10, but it should work with 9. I want to try, but I have no idea which file I should use.

Neither do I lol. Try doing some research into the audio libs for ICS? Good luck
Can anybody check if the problem persists while using the Default sony Earplugs which came out of the box with L26i Xperia S?

I think they should work, but I can't test it since they stopped working after 2 days

I have my Apple earpods working on CM10 All you have to do is download 'SoundAbout' from the Play Store. Open the app and change the 'Media audio...' option to 'Wired Headphones'. The only downside is that you have to change this option everytime you want to use the speaker, but at least the headphones are working

I have the problem too. When I plug in my headphone, the sound is still coming from the speaker T_T
Does anyone have the solution for this?
By the way, when using SoundAbout, what happen to the notification sound? Do they still come to the speaker?

All the sounds come from the earphones, even when you plug them out. But the app has a widget which you can press to change it back to the speakers
Is there a way to boost the bluetooth volume on the G3? I used to have a G2 and used the flashable zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799537&nocache=1.
Is there an entry in the mixer_paths.xml that I can edit for this? I looked through it but wasn't sure which value to change. I found a few threads in the themes and apps section for volume boosting but none had a specific bluetooth volume setting.

Fot BT audio I think you have to set up Handset, change it to 65, apply, reboot and let me know if it works for you. You must be rooted.

No I'm running the stock kernel on Cloudy 2.5. I tried editing the mixer paths Advanced Headset but that didn't seem to increase the bluetooth either.
Anyone ever find a solution to this? I just got my G3 yesterday... running rooted 24B stock right now, but the low BT volume stinks! Do you guys know of any fixes or stock-based kernels that support bluetooth volume boosts?
Hey guys is it just me or does anyone else have crazy low Bluetooth Volume? Even maxed out is it very very low compared to my Nexus 6P. And has anyone figured out a solution to this? I tried the Devine audio mod great for increased speaker volume but Bluetooth it does virtually nothing. Any help into this area would be greatly appreciated.

I think this has an issue with streaming apps like Spotify, same as other versions of V4A I've tried. Mine won't play in the car either. Annoyingly, gonna have to revert to stock for now.
This does not work for me.......looks like I'm not able to get Viper4Android to work either. So it looks like I will wait for a later time. Thanks for the recommendation though.
I don't think Viper works. It doesn't seem to do anything to increase the volume on phone calls using Bluetooth headsets. Unless somebody can tell me a way to do it I don't think it works.

U have to enable viper it in the specific section, e.g. Bluetooth. U can check if it runs when pressing driver status while music is playing.
Also go to menu then UI SETTING and enable expert mode.
In the Bluetooth tab scroll all the way down and crank the output gain up. Done
