Has anyone found a simple set of wired ear buds with a mic that works with the Pixel 2?
Earbuds would need to have a DAC built in.
Price range for me is $20 to $30.
Edit: found these, https://www.amazon.com/Headphones-S...ng-Earphones/dp/B079D57TK9/ref=cm_wl_huc_item
Any others?

Here's the deal, I have a small collection of gaming/pc headsets(razers/steelseries/trittons all sponsored in my pro gaming period) and only two pair of normal headphones. I use my SteelSeries neckband and headphones sometimes because they have an awesome bass and look cool. There is a microphone hidden in these headphones as well, and I would say there should be some kind of cable that has a 3.5 mic in and audio in and a 4pin 3.5 out for the galaxy S2. So I can use both the audio and the mic.
I used my friend google and I found the following:

Any idea if these work? Somebody has experience with one of these cables? Also, is this really the cheapest solution? 15 buck for a cable on ebay/amazon seems expensive (although its not really an issue, since I can use 500 euros worth of headphones.)

Preferably with a short cable so that I don't trip myself up and I can use my own earphones with. I have the Belkin ipod remote but it's poor quality and fragile but the length is very short which means I don't have something the length of a skipping rope with me.
What are you people using?

I also looking for a good quality speaker for music listening with wired mic. & remote as well...
If any idea... Pls advise http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461584
might not sound true, but it is: my car does not have an audio system, and it is old that installing a system will cost me more than I want to spend now, so...
I am looking for portable speakers to use in the car, to install myself somewhere (separate speakers or a single block), that are either wired or bluetooth. but I want them to be loud enough to override the car noises.
Last year I got a Samsung YA-BS3000 blutetooth speaker (on a big sale), but returned them immediately because the volume was lower than my devices internal speaker.
What portable speakers can provide good sound volume and quality? 95% of the time I listen to podcasts, so I don't need music pro speakers.
I checked online and found good reviews about the JBL flip or JBL Micro II, but none of the reviews say if they are suitable for car usage.
I am ok to pay up to $100 or so for good speakers that can make my drive less annoying.
Any tips are welcome.
I'd consider getting one of those 12v lighter adaptors that lets you plug in standard electrical cords, and buy a non portable speaker that you can plug in to your phone via the 3.5mm aux jack.
You'll likely get the best boom for your buck that way.
Otherwise, I've used an iHome Bluetooth speaker that got decently loud for use even in a warehouse.
Alternatively, if volume is the problem, get a speaker you plug in via the aux, and buy a cheap headphone amp, like a Fiio E6 or E5.

Wow, thanks for the variety of solutions.
I went with the first idea, but went with a desktop/laptop speakers that are USB powered, bought for €10, and I have a lighter adapter to USB, and from the shop till home the sound was ok, now I have to install them with hidden cables and try.
will evaluate other ideas. and btw, I will read now your headphone buying guide....
Hi folks,
My mobile operator has started offering a comprehensive package for international calls, so I'm looking for a decent handsfree that would be comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.
On the PC I use a Plantronics USB headset with a microphone, and I'm wondering if there is something similar that I can plug into the phone via 3.5mm jack?
I have in-ear headphones with mic from Sony that came with Z2, but that is ok for short calls, not for wearing the full day.
I'm not a big fan of bluetooth headsets, they need to be charged and cost more, so my ideal solution would be a wired on-ear headset with microphone, as I'll be sitting at my desk, but instead of using Skype and USB, I'd be using my phone for the voice calls.
Is there such a thing and can you recommend a model?
I see there are a lot of 2.5mm kits like that for DECT phones, but the smartphone has a 3.5mm socket.
Thanks!
Just got a Xiaomi Hybrid IEM. For that price they are a steal!
I am very happy with them, like many others.

Do these have a microphone? It's not clear from the text, but it looks like just headphones.
I'm looking for something similar to Plantronic Supraplus but with 3.5mm instead of USB
Yes, they have a microphone (I don't think there's a version without mic). They also have 3 buttons (multifunctional + volume).
OK, this question is not specific to the Fold, but as this is my 1st phone without a headphone jack, I'm asking it here.
What USB-Headphone adapter do you recommend?
I have a set of Panasonic earbuds which sound good (especially with the ear cushions from my previous set of Sony Earbuds), and I'd like to keep using them.
My Buds+ won't stay in my ears inside my hearing protectors while I'm out mowing, and my Sony wireless earbuds are too large to even try.
Plus wired buds won't drain the phone battery as much as bluetooth buds will.
Hey, pTeronaut!!
To help you with a recommendation, I've searched and found some USB to Headphone adapters on BestBuy. These prices are $9 to $20. Some reputable branded adapters you can purchase for your need like. Apple USB to Headphone, Insignia, Samsung USB type. I have attached some pictures look and get your favorite one.

I bought this mostly because it was cheap and would let me charge at the same time. It seems to work well

My old Google Pixel 2 USB-C dongle works fine
I have been looking for one WITHOUT DAC. Since the DAC built in the phone is AKG Tuned, should be a Hi-Fi!
