Did this thing not come with headphones? I don't have any in my box....
Every review on the web shows the same. This phone simply wasn't packaged with some...it's likely that you'll already have some anyways or you'll eventually get a better pair than they would have ever packaged.
You're probably right but I wanted to test out the FM Radio real quick and low and behold...
The no headphones is surprising, but with a retail cost of 450.00, you can't expect much. I would rather pay less and skip the headphones and mini hdmi cable than pay for them and not use them. I like the headphones I already own. Bundled headphones generally suck anyways. At least my iphone headphones suck that is.
i have these
i love these headphones

Also if you wana go alittle cheaper then the V-moda Vibe II, the V-moda Faze are extremly good too, thats what i ended up getting, they run about $49.99 and exellent sound quality and build!
I use super cheap OEM blackberry headphones I get off ebay for like $3 a pair. As far as comfort and sound quality go they seem way better than the other super cheap and kinda nice headphones I have
There's better IEM headphones than any of the V-Moda models for less $ or about the same price imo... MEElectronics M9P, Nuforce NE-7M, Maximo iP-HS5, etc. Head-Fi.org is a great resource for all things headphones. I just bought the MEElec M9P last week and I've been trying 'em out today, I got 'em for $22 w/S&H but I think they went back up in price to $35 (the others are around $50).
I think they're a noticeable step up in quality from the other mic-less IEMs I already had, Sennheiser CX300 and JVC HA-FX34 Marshmallows... Those two are fairly common at retail stores so if you've ever owned either of them you have a fairly good point of reference.
After reading a few threads at HF I ended up w/the MEElec because of the relative SQ to price, and the fact that they have one of the best cords of any IEMs under $100... Hardly any microphonics at all, virtually none if worn over the head (microphonics = cord noise when it bounces or rubs against stuff). It's got like two layers or something (one of them is translucent so it's obvious).
Pretty high quality stuff, nice hockey-stick shaped plug, nice metal casings, comes with 5 different sets of tips (regular single flanges in three sizes and dual-flange tips in two colors) and a bunch of other accessories including a nice hard case that's slimmer than most of those types of cases I've seen. Highly recommended, I like them a lot more than my Senn or JVC (and I paid like $50 for the Senns around 5 years ago, $20 for the JVC recently). I've not been able to test the mic yet since my EVO hasn't arrived and I didn't feel like doing it with the iPod touch's sound recorder or something.

Does the V-Moda Faze have call answer functions?
EDIT***
I went ahead and bought the FAZE and wow, the sound is great and yes it works for answering/hanging up calls as well as playing music.
Anyone know/test normal apple ipod headphones? I have a pair and they're my usual set and I was wondering if any of the integrated controls (mic, volume up/down, push to pause etc.) work or if anyone knew.
Today I went down to mobilecityonline located in Canal street and purchased the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth stereo headset for use with my EVO 4G.
At the moment it is charging [at least 8hrs], but I wanted to know if anyone it using this particular device?
Once I get it up and running, I will let you guys know how compatible it is with the EVO. Hopefully all the functions will work and I don't have to return it.
update 06/08/10
Well with alot of playing around and trying a few different audio apps, I got the MW600 to function the way I wanted, which saved me from returning it.
My main concern was being able to use the controls on the device, and I was only able to do so with an app called bTunes.
I had no luck with the stock Android music player nor with another App called
Audio Player WithEQ Platinum
Although those two did play via the bluetooth unit, I was not able to use none of the control functions.
With bTunes, I was able to play, pause, and use the forward and backward functions.
On a side note, the headphones that came with the MW600 are very short, but they sound very good. I ended up using my Klipsch Image S4i which I was using previously with my 3GS.
Hope this meets you all well.
Cheers !

my iPhone headset works but the VOL +/- doesn't work
anyone have any experience with the inner ear apple headphones they cost 69.99$ i ordered a pair with my iPad(figured i could use em with all my gadgets)
The controls on the Ultimate Ears Superfi 5Vi's are able to pause/play music along with voice dial and answer/hang up
Those V-modo's look cool, but honestly for the price they lack key features:
1- IN-line volume control. not a digital one like iphone headsets, but a slider on it, like the OEM mogul shipped with.
2.- for that price, and especially since it is coated in so much metal, it should have an inline radiation deadener- nobody wants radiation from their phone being transmitted right into their eardrums, especially since the 3.5mm port on our evo's acts as the FM antenna --- that is just insulting
At least from my experience with this device....
You are better off with using bluetooth headphones that can do MP3 bluetooth decoding and using Meridian as the music player. The truth is that while the headphone out is decently clean, it has a relatively high output impedance and not much driving capability. You are much better off getting some headphones with imp between 32-60ohms and at least 97db efficiency and not getting something too nice to use direct.
There is also the issue of when this is hooked up with grounding loop noise if you hook up your headphones to the output. Why the engineers who would put together such a media centric device would not think of such simple things is beyond me, but the iPod does it too and it is a pure music player.
If you happen to use a headphone amplifier, then you can use what you want because the audio signal will likely be free of much ground noise and have a really nice spectrum to it (much better than even my line out was on my iPhone....though not better than my modded iPod Touch).
If someone wants to work on USB host audio drivers I would be elated, willing to help as well. I can even make a custom hardware I/O box for the Evo!
I bought the Bose in-ear ones from Best Buy. I'm going to return them though. The sound is not as vibrant and alive as from my stereo BT set (S9-HD)

Is the volume using the iphone headset loud enough for you? I've tried it and it's too low and the people I'm trying to talk with sounds like they are fading in and out.
I'm thinking of returning since I can't even use it as a phone with the wired headset.
I usually listen to the music over my Note...
Could anyone advise a good sound quality wired headset with full compatible microphone & its control with Galaxy Note?
initially wanted to get Klipsch S4A for Android but read somewhere that it might have compatible issue with some Samsung Android phone. So do beware if you are getting this.
these sound awsome for music
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/hf2.html
and can be got for as little as £65
Thanks friends for you all recommended...
However, I have see many wired headset in iPhone shop with vary price level & quality.... if they compatible with iPhone, can it also compatible with Note? (I see they using the same connector type)
You have to choose carefully
Tee3D - No! Not all headphones that work on iPhone will work with the Note. I have a pair of iLuv cheap headphones for the iPhone and they work fine with it. The headphone has a mic and phone/music controls that work fine on an iPhone, but not all of the controls work on my Note. You have to check carefully.
I just bought Klipsch promedia.
http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-in-ear
Sound quality is very good,they are comfortable and music control works well.
1 click for play/pause, 2 clicks for next track.
You can also install from market klipsch control which allows you to control the volume too.
I paid klipsch promedia 45€..very very good for that price
If you are not looking for high-end audio quality (which I suppose you can't really get with the Note, given the rather less-than-good audio circuitry implementation), I would suggest to give the bundled headphones a try. I've been using them from the start and I find them quite decent.
Thanks all friends for advises & comments

There better than awesome and the mic is the best I've used as well.
the Op asked for a wired headset with the full control (mic, vol, stop, play,next track) of the original headset - as far as I have researchrf none of those recommended do that without tricks or using software solutions. can anyone recommend a headset they are using that are good and have the mic and all controls for the note? I just lost my original samsung note headset. Or does anyone know a place that has a discounted or reasonable price on the the samsung original headset - I can't find them when I google for it.
Skull candy 50/50 got it from apple store although fwd/rewind/nxt/previous track buttons not working ' i am happy '.
Sound quality Its awesome.
Also mic and play/pause button is functional.

AKG 450s sound absolutely amazing with music. They are a set of portable headphones that are on offer at the moment for £40 GBP on Amazon, which is £60 off from the £100 price-tag (itself a cut from a £150 price tag). They fold up and you can buy an accessory set with volume control and a microphone for use on mobiles. These things knock the socks off of Beats!
Try this android with volume control works

I'm looking for some headphones, specifically in-ear ones, that work with Android and have a built in Mic and volume controls. I know that many of the ones made for iPod/iPhone don't work with Android properly so I want to make sure I don't make this mistake. I'd quite like the earphones to be good quality ones in the price range of £30 - £90 if possible. I've looked around but not found much. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm using ones from my SGSII. Work perfectly, nice deep base, mic works perfectly fine as well.
Overall, I'd say my SGSII headphones are surprisingly the best earbuds I ever had. To my ear, best frequencies.
So perhaps you can just buy SGSII replacement buds.
Beats in-ear earphones. At hmv they are reasonably cheap. I'm pretty sure you can find ones for less if you try gumtree or eBay. Just make sure they're genuine, Fake ones WILL break within a few days (past experience). http://m.hmv.com/product/details/171063 <---- those are really good quality, and well within your price range.

You should try these out. They are called a-JAYS ONE+, and they are made for android. They also have their own android app where you can customize the button to perform different functions (change track, adjust volume, launch apps etc) the app is called JAYS headset control. The headphones are really good themselves. I would have posted the links, but since I'm new I gotta wait. But I hope it helps

I tried looking for good over ear head phones everywhere for while, finally bought beats by dre Solo HD, however only one button works, the only way i got everything to work was by downloading app called Headset button form google market, which has allowed me to control everything on the phone.
1 click pause song, ans and disconnect call
2 clicks - next song
3 clicks - rewind songs
hold the button - volume up
click + hold button - volume down

Ok after finally trying out some Beats headphones today at bestbuy I decided its time I get myself some nice headphones. I know beats are over rated and I can buy something much cheaper that are better. What are some suggestions..
I was looking at these also Sony MDR-XB500. I hear very nice reviews on them.
Bowers & Wilkins P5's are great, and available from any Best Buy with a Magnolia Home Theater or any Apple Store.
Cheap and mid range.
I have tried many brands of over ear headphones. From value of £60 to £10.
These are IMO the best:
Sony ZX300 Over Ear Headphones
They are cheap, very good sound quality and the best build out of the ones I tried.
Stay away from skullcandy, they are over priced and flimsy have had two expensive headphones from them, both lasted a month or two before being unusable
I personally recommend AKG headphone.They are simply the best
I have an AKG K450
It's somewhere around 70 pounds and they are really really good

Thanks for the help. Im going to look into all the ones mention!
OK so after much research I went with the Sony MDR V55 these things are amazing!
I bought a Sennheiser headphone at amazon and i really love it!!
Please allow me to continue on this topic. Many headset have been suggested here, but none according to my needs.
I'm desperately looking for a headset that would be :
1. small and on-ear
2. foldable
3. with a removable cable
4. with a remote control (more than 1 button) that would be Android-compatible OR that could be made Android-compatible via Headset Button Controller or another app
So far I've found :
- AKG K450 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
- AKG K451 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- AKG Q460 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- Radius 3Stages (HP-OHF11) : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but could a compatible remote be added ?)
- Urban Ears Zinken : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
For the record my Droid is a rooted Arc S running stock GB (I can go ICS if it was mandatory for this to work).
And when I say "can it be made compatible" I mean "all 3 buttons", not only the central one.
Thanks in advance for your help / tips / etc.
Bowers & Wilkins P5 or P3 fit all of those criteria, except only use of 1 button. I use Headset Button Controller to let that 1 button pause, play, skip, vol up and vol down. P5 retails at $30p. I love mine (not that I paid even 1/10 retail for mine).
I'm sorry buddy, but if "they fit all of those criteria, except..." then "they DON'T fit all of those criteria" in fact...
Besides, they are way too expensive :

http://www.amazon.com/Bowers-Wilkins-P3-Over--Headphones/dp/B0089W0D4E
Any answers to my two previous questions please ?
"Can a compatible remote be found ?"
"Can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?"
Thanks.
I didn't see a price
Many of us sacrifice some function for superior quality. I'd rather not get into how much $ I'm guilty of spending on audio (or receiving goods for free, running a B&W warehouse had its perks).
On the 1 button vs. 3, you should try out with your existing headphones running everything off 1 button, if you haven't yet.
All depends on what ranks highest for you and what music you listen to. If you rank the following and list your price range, I'll be able to help out more.
Price
Function (3 button vs. 1)
Comfort
Sound quality
Also... www.head-fi.org is the BEST website for research on this stuff.
It's very kind of you to try to help. But my search is very clearly stated in my first post. I have 4 criteria, and I don't want a headphone that would be OK in only 3 of the criteria. I need all 4 to be OK, sorry.
In this particular case, quality is not an issue for me (I have other headphones for quality, believe me). Is there a single headset in the world that could satisfy all 4 criteria ?...
And I still need answers to my two previous questions... That's all I need. Thanks in advance.
I don't know of any Android compatible 3-button, portable on-ear headphones, unfortunately. IEMs, there are plenty, but no idea for what you need.
You may be SOL and have to decide what you can do without.
If you're going to find them, it'll either be through Google or Head-Fi.

I totally understand. But in that case, Android itself has a serious problem. How can Android developers and Android device manufacturers let this happen ?
There are plenty of 3-button, portable on-ear headphsets that are iPhone compatible. And it looks like none of them is Android compatible. Not even ONE of them ? That is not normal.
What I don't understand is why. The 3 buttons transmit 3 different signals. Sure, iPhone signals are specific. But they exist, and if they exist then they can be detected, can't they ? Why on earth a software like HBC could not have an auto-learning feature like "press button 1" (and then listen to any incoming signal, detect it, and memorize it), then "press button 2" and "press button 3" ?
I have seen on the Internet hardware modifications of the remotes, with surface-mounted resistors. I'm sorry but I just don't get it. It's totally crazy to be forced to make such hardware modifications to achieve something so simple as making a 3-button remote work with an Android phone. Why couldn't we achieve the same result with a software modification, either with HBC, or within Android itself ? If the problem is the OS itself, then let's modify the OS for God's sake !!
I'd like to discuss this issue with some experts on this matter, to help me understand what really CAN and CAN NOT be done. Thank you.
I believe the issue is that Android devices don't detect the signal at all from the other 2 buttons on iPhone headsets. I've seen more elaborate explanations, but it didn't affect me, because I'm just fine with how I've set up my single button to do everything. It's been answered here if you search. I wish I'd remembered where so I could tell you. Good luck, man. Post here if/when you find the right fit for you.
Im looking for a cheap set to use mostly while on the PC playing games or music. Would like to find a good cheap set under $50. Seen some ifrogs at walmart for $29 anybody had much luck with these? Also looking for an adaptor to convert my turtle beach xbox 360 headphone jack to be compatable with my home theater jack. 1.5 to 3.5 i believe is the jack sizes.
Sennheiser MM60 is excellent if you're bass lover followed by Urbanears Tanto.
I just got some jvc's, something 700 for $40 should be here in a few days

Hello guys,
I am searching for headphones (on the ear or over the ear model, preferably with mic). Please recommend headphones under price tag Rs. 2000 (30-35 USD) and should be available in India.
Thanks in advance!
We really need a compatible list of headsets that work with ZF2.
Since the volumes button used for changing tracks and volume are at the back they are best to operate only when being used with a hand and not so much for music listening.
I just tested Mi In Ear Headphone [Model ID:ZBW4122IN ].
Using the MUSIC app : Play, Vol+, Vol- and Next track works fine.
Calling : Big button switches microphone ON or OFF. Vol+ and Vol- work fine.

My Mi Phones(over the ear/on ear) work fine as well.
A Jays Five for Android are working well for me. But the app that goes with them is not so great (it works, but has limited functionality).
Headset Button Controller is better.
RIF6 Bluetooth headphones work well for me. They also have NFC for pairing, and the right headphone is a touchpad for controlling volume and forward/back. There's a microphone too, but I haven't tried that yet.

Best headphones I've owned
Hello there,, I've been buying and trying in ear headphones and I think that Symphonized is the best one around for the price you're aiming. Better than Xiaomi, Skull Candy, Sony, Beats, LG and pretty close to Sol Republic at a fraction of the price. You can find those in Amazon. Also you. Can try Asus Zenfone 2 headphones. They're pretty good and cheap. Both Asus and Symphonized have mics and on/off button.

Actually I think that wood makes all the difference. The reverberance it naturally creates manages to give a very nice audio. I now that they may not be a reknown company or be the best of the best, but for 20 USD I think they will astonish anyone. Just check the reviews on Amazon. Hope this helps! :good:
