Wired Headsets?

Hi,
I'm looking for a wired headset with a 3.5mm jack and multimedia buttons. NO BLUETOOTH..
I had the rc-e100 or something, the black one... but it was a broken model.. its crap! i had it for two months and it kept on sucking more and more..
the shop said more people had the same problem:
keys on the remote didn't work. so they took it back and i got my money back...
Now i'm looking for a different one, does anyone have any ideas?

I use that exact same one. For me it's perfect! Good sound an no problems after a few months! (hope it stays that way)
I'm affraid your only other option is the U110 (wich lacks the buttons) as i don't know of an other remote with multimedia-buttons like the e-100. (at least not an official HTC product)

i already bought the e100... couldnt find ANYTHING else...
wish they'd make more kinds of 'em...
but on the good side this one is working correctly for the past 7 hrs of listening music and a 8 minute call.. hope it will work a long time...

i dont get why there is only ONE kind of remote.. and only from htc, its a windows mobile cellphone so if other brands would make headsets that use miniusb it would sell i think... this one is kind of bulky, i had the sony ericsson hpm82 (i think) and it was perfect (with my old SEk750)
hope some manufacturer reads this

[REQ]Mapping Volume-Buttons on Apple-Headset?

Hey guys,
just asked me if it is possible to use the apple 3gs Headset completely?
I mean this one with 3 buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you plug it in, you can only use the middle-button to play / stop the current song. There is no use of the + / - Buttons.
I managed to enable the skip-function by installing playpause 4.0a from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3548894&postcount=21
Now I can skip a song by holding the middle-button.
It would be nice if the other both buttons could be used too, for adjusting the volume for example, for what they were originally made for
Any suggestions or interested programmers know how to realize that?
I could imagine I am not the only one who would be happy to use that feature.

Not even some people interested in having this feature? Are you all using this crapin' htc-headset?

i recently bought a pair of klipsch s4i headphones with the remote and mic and i can't really use any of the functions of the buttons or the mic. So I'm in the same boat as you. I was wondering whether it was a software thing or a hardware thing. bc if it were a software thing, couldn't you just write something that would translate the apple commands on the buttons into commands that android would recognize? idk if that could be done but it would be cool.

[Q] Bluetooth Headphone and Bluetooth version

which bluetooth headphone?
According to SGS Spec, our phone support v3.0 bluetooth (not sure how it benefit us compare with version 2.0)
I'm regular jogger, listen to music during my jog is what I like to do, unfortunately, I just had my expensive (to me at least) wire earphone torn apart , might be due to extensive movement during exercise, hence I'm looking at sporty bluetooth earphone/headphone.
I found Motorokr S9, but it's not available in my country (Asia). any other suggestion?

PS: http://5thirtyone.com/archives/855 not giving a good feedback.
any suggestion?

I got the S9-HD
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982274
and they are pretty much the best I had! I used to have the red ones like on the pictures but I got it from a chineese website, so I'm not shure if they are the real deal or an imitation, but the HD's are wayyy better!

here is my toughts i know its not have the details but some points its pretty reasonable
how about your idea?
but i want to be scientific and reasonable

Some things:
I personally feel holding the phone and talking to be quite inconvenient and old-fashioned, so I would predict 10 years from now, the speaker & microphone would/should be replaced by something (maybe directional speakers / microphones / something more hi-fi) so that we can just talk handsfree always without worrying about interference / privacy / all the problems we currently have.
I'm not quite for predicting that touch-screen would be the dominant interface, but couldn't really think of other advanced UI methods that might crop up in the near future. I would more like moving away from the passive device with a display & touchscreen that you've to go to for accessing information towards something like google glass - something that's always there unobtrusively but provides you stuff you want always without all the lookup cycle.
Also, removing the display for something wearable and still not inconvenient (goggle/glass are not liked by everyone) would be a very good technological advance.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Battery Level

Today I opened my shiny new Jaybird Bluebuds X and going through the manual, I ran into this little feature:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There's an app that can read the battery level on Plantronics headsets, why is there no app that can do this for others? Windows Phone apparently is able to read this too. The only big Bluetooth Headset battery app for Android calculates it based on connection time. I was never able to use it properly with my older Jaybird Freedom headphones because I was always losing the data and/or forgetting to run it to start tracking the usage.
I know this is a Nexus 5 thread, but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to get this on Android, or would be interested in getting a bounty going. I'll be happy to pledge some money towards this, being pretty much clueless about app development.
It's not that big of a deal, but the battery warning on these Jaybirds is very annoying, beeping constantly when it's about to run out. Nothing that a consistent charging schedule can't fix, and with a regular micro USB connector, a quick charge in the car will keep them charged up.
I'm just sad that we're missing on a tiny but cool feature.
