HTC Desire with Apple earphones?

Hi all!
I'm wondering if anyone have tried Apples earphones on the Desire? I must say that I don't really like HTC's earphones. But I've always loved my iPod's earphones
Here's a link for which earphones I mean; http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTI1NDE.
Does the earphones in it selves work? What about the mic and the remote? The controlbuttons for music?
Thanks in advance

I'm not really a music listener on portable devices but did plug in my wife's iPhone headphones and they worked, as expected. Didnt try out the controls though.

Yes, I knew that the earphones worked. But I don't know whether or not the mic are working?

They should work.
An HTC representative have tried the HTC headphones in an iPhone 3G with a working mic and controllers, so the Apple earphones should also work in an HTC phone.

I have the in-ear ones, and the mic does work. Just not the controls, pause, volume up and down etc.

My iPhone earphones work fine. The mic works, as does the click to pause function. The only thing that doesn't work on them is the volume control, but that never worked with my iPhone 3G either (although these weren't the original headphones that came with the 3G so I think they're the 3GS version)

And you have tested it on the HTC Desire?

If I were you I'd invest in a decent set of headphones if you're looking to use them regularly. Apple headphones that come with any ipod are terrible. I used a pair for a over a year and only when I bought a replacement pair of decent Sony headphones did I realise how bad the Apple ones really are.

Combined with Meridian Player pause and play will work

Hello again,
after a year of being absent to the forum - since i got my iphone - i now choosed to buy the desire and am realy interested to use my apple earphones.
i bought the better ones with two drivers each side and have to say, that these pair are really good.
Because of the open-source character of the os, it should be possible to add some compiled sourcecode, like an threaded app, that reads the input of the headset controls and after it alter the volume, shouldn´t it?
thank you

Yep that sounds like a great idea! I just wish I could code lol

Yeah apologies, that's actually what I meant. Just to clarify the mic works fine and the click button pauses / starts music. The volume control however doesn't work.

I agree with the normal bundle ones. However the new in-ear Apple headphones are great, but you would expect they would be for £60. Had over 8 pair of other headphones in the last couple of years, and I can say for me and the music I listen they are very very good.

That are the pair, i was talking about....

Just wanted to let you know that the Griffin iTalk remote works fine. Play/pause works in the standard music app, but not skip forward or backwards. If I am using Spotify however, skip forward works but not backwards. The Mic also works fine. There is no volume slide.

I'm sat here listening to Spotify on my Desire and realised that double-clicking on Apple iPhone headphones skips tracks. Pretty cool

So will ones made by 3rd parties (Skull Candy for example) which include mics work too?

etymotic hf 2 for desire??
Hi guys, u'm hoping to buy the etymotic hf2 headset with the Mic to go with my desire.. would u guys by any chance know wether it would work?? I mean de Mic and the music controls. Iv noticed when I plug in my old Nokia headset de sound is muffled. Thanks in advance.

I soldered some sony-in-ears onto the original one.
The original earphones fall out of my ear, it's bad fit. Soldering works fine, I still have remote+antenna and GOOD sound

earphone

hey guys, does the soundmagic mp21 mic works with samsung galaxy s? if not, any earphone with mic for recommendation?
thanks.

I hear that the klipsch s2m works for the sgs, but can't confirm it. You can always consider a transformer with mic, that you can use normal 3.5 plug instead of pin

I have Klipsch S2m and it works with my Vibrant so it must work with i9000.

Ow, great. Can you tell your experiens with them. What kind of sound works best for them and build quility?

Honestly, I am a wannabe audiophile. I am just starting to get into the world of audiophile. An audiophile friend of mine suggested it to me cuz it was on sale.
I would say the sound is pretty good. It is a direct sound and definitely not soft or anything. As far as calls go, I have good experience with these so I am pretty happy.
I don't have any problems with these so far so I think they are good.

good to hear cause I am also browsing around looking for a replacement ear/mic headset.
I do really hope this works for our SGS because this model Klipsch S2m is also listed in the apple store as iphone compatible. and to my knowledge iphone heatsets do not work with SGS.
so I'm a little confused ...

It is advertised as iPhone compatible but it does work with my vibrant... idk what is happening...
Actually, my friend said my phone would work before I bought it so...

Nokia AD-54 / HS-45 adaptor’s inline mic works on my international i9000GT, and many others have reported it working on other variants of Galaxy S.
IMO this is the best option right now because it lets you connect your own headphone .

P.S : None of the call/media buttons work though..

Does anyone know of any good headset adapters that actually work?
I would use the Samsung stock headset but they HAD to be in-ear, I can't use in-ear because my ears block up easily.
I want something simple like the post above but I want one that has a functional media key.
Also, how do you guys SKIP SONGS?! D:

you can use any phones with nokia adaptors, but not iphone compatible phones.
the mic/ground terminals are not the same
i have a triplefi10vi and i had to make an adaptor to switch the ground and mic around for the inline mic to work
works fine and sound is definitely awesome

For those who are interested the Sennheiser MM50 for Nokia v2 work perfectly fine! Exactly like the MM50 for iPhones that I had before then.
I would post a link to what they look like but unfortunately I'm not allowed to!

They will work as intended. Pick up/drop a call, pause/play music and mic works as well, a mic really!
Only issue I have come across is with Froyo JP1/JP3/JPC, where if you keep pulling and plugging the earphones in, the buttons will not work as intended, but after you reset the phone it works as normal.
JPK seems to be working fine and Eclair on the other hand works perfectly fine!
Also there is only one button on this earphone.

Hi..
has anyone tested a Denon AH-C560R IEM? does the mic & remote function?

Help Pls Req:-Cheap htc one S in ear (buds) headphones with mic and working remote ?

Hi Alllll , just got my new htc one S a few days ago , great phone , very happy etc , but the headphones that come with the phone would be great if they where ear bud / in ear type......ideally i would like a decent quality pair for around £5.00 - £10.00 with mic and remote suitable for working with my new phone
I have tried my old samsung galaxy 1 headphones , but alas the sound echo's , the mic works and the remote....
Any reccomendations welcomed but please ideally tried and tested

I take it your in the UK? If so for the price range your looking at your not going to get the sound quality you want or deserve for music.
Have a look in Argos for code 514/6062 (KitSound KS1 Colours In Ear Headphones With Mic - Black) for £15. My choice for your price range would be a trip to eBay for a set of HTC ear phones with Mic.

Hi Yes , i am in the uk thank you , its a shame the kitsound dont quote a remote , as i would like to use for hands free when i recieve a call.

As I posted, its down to your price range. Even if you where to get around £30-40 you would get a decent set with the functions that you require. A friend has a set but is away on holidays at the moment, when he returns I'll get some info on them for you and post it.

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-30i-MM30i-Headphones/dp/B004HD4L2E Now these are the dogs......

At £10.00 your choices will be pretty limited. I suggest using an app like JAYS Headset Control with a single button set instead of one with a more functional remote.
I settled on a pair of Brainwavz M4 with mic for under £20. There's also the ebay Skullcandy store that has mic'd sets starting at under £7. But I suspect my choices and prices are a little better here in the US.

Have to bump this thread, also need something fairly cheap that has decent remote. Not really audiophile, just need my headphones occasionally for in-car use, so no point in spending £50. So £20 is probably my max. Any suggestions appreciated.

These are "fake" (I believe) HTC headphones. The same ones that came with older HTC phones (the One S I have did not come with any headphones at all!)
Edit: Don't flame me, I suggested these because he wanted cheap ones, and these are identical to the ones HTC used to supply.

Haha nothing wrong if you're buying cheap goods. I wouldn't buy any of their more expensive stuff though.

Hi guys, I'd also like to ask for some advice on a decent headphone set with a remote that actually has more than 1 button and works on the One S. I live in Germany though, so it should preferably be something that's available here or at least deliverable and cheap to import. I'd like to set the price limit to 20€, but if you really mean nothing with a decent quality can be found for that little, I might consider going up to 30€. Thanks a lot!

I spent about a week to search all over forums, topics...but still could not find any pair of good quality headphones with 3 buttons( volume +/- and play/pause) + mic for under $20 dollars. But if you guy want a good pair of headphone with only 1 button ( can do "play/pause/next song") then this is might be the best

I use my choice of one button IEMs (currently Brainwavz M4) and JAYS headset control app. Play, pause, stop, next track, previous track, volume up, volume down, etcetera all accessible from the single button.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

If one's in the looking for something not that expensive, but still with a reasonable level of quality - search no more:
http://www.expansys.com/htc-smart-3-5mm-wired-headset-with-flat-cable-white-rc-e190-222183/
The RC E190 will work just fine, they are of decent build quality and the sound it's OK.
I must confess that I'm not what you would call a connoisseur or good judge of the sound quality, but the headset it's at least at the level of Sonny Ericsson models, and they look good too.
The link that I've recommend is to a major re-seller of HTC accessories (not only).

The JVCs looked perfect until I noticed the "remote" doesn't have volume control. The reviewer said it, wtf is this for a remote? Seems I'll be going the JAYS App way, although that still sounds cumbersome in comparison to at least 3 hardware keys...

I know you said $20 max but if you're willing to pay a bit more these are awesome! I had them for like a year or two and they were great with my sensation and N4.

I'm sure you can find some for $25 instead of $31.

Yep, I've tried a few different ones and Apple EarPods are definitely the best in terms of mic quality and reliability. The middle control button works too, just not the volume rocker.

Try Ultimate Ears 200, costs around $12.

Στάλθηκε από το Nexus 4 μου

I've just recently bought a Nexus 4 and looking for a decent pair of earphones. I've used Sennheiser before and they are quite good. Picked out two good pairs below but can't choose between them, not really sure on the specs.
http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/stereo-earphones-headphones-smart-mobile-phones-mp3-mx-375
http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/stereo-earphones-smart-phones-mobile-mx-580
Previously owned this model http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/stereo-ear-headphones-earphones-mx-170 but fancy a change, because my brother has taken those now.

As most people are recommending Apple I've decided to go with this combo below.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221169135440 and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220858554902
These should do me nicely.

haha! are you sure these aren't loud enough? I haven't seen any stats for these model of headphones anywhere so it's hard to tell, if you look at my previous post i was comparing two other headphones that had some stats on them. which do you recommend out of the 3 options now?

I've made up my mind, dead certain now. I've decided to go with the new Apple EarPods, they are much more safer than the iPhone 4S headset I've seen them break easily the top pop out and the cable isn't securely firm no rubber protection it's very lose. Apple EarPods it is!
Part no. MD827ZM/A

I've looked around, seen the Apple EarPods which was highly recommended but then I read that it doesn't fit all people and can sometimes hurt.
I'm considering the previous model to that, the Apple EarBuds that come with the iPhone 4/4S. Picture below.

I just purchased these and I love them. In comparison to the Ear Buds I got with my S3, these seem to be a little clearer and it's reported to me by those I talk to on the phone that I'm louder. I like that they fit so well in my ear. The ones from my S3 seem to work their way out but these Nexus ones stay put. You get two other rubbers to replace the ones that come on it as well. All in all, a good purchase. Plus, I like the " X " on the end of them...goes nicely with my Nexus 4 :good:
...one down side...10.50 shipping fee...not happy about that but it's worth the price...in my opinion.
...but...if you want them, get them now as they sell out quick. I had to wait two months for them to restock.

They look okay to me. The thing I notice between these and the Nexus buds are that the Nexus ones give better sound as they block out noise better than these HTC ones. That being said, some people can't wear the ear buds and have to go with the other style. I'd do online reviews of the brand you are interested in to see what others say. There are many sites that do reviews of these besides forums.

Does anyone know if the SkullCandy S3FXDM earphones work with the Nexus 4? Microphone is important here. They say they are supported by Apple devices so not really sure here.
These are the ones I was looking at below.

Sennheiser
Sennheiser cx 275 s.

Currently i'm using Philips SHE8000 In-Ear Headphones.
Very good fit, three different sizes of earplugs and very good sound. Since they also provide a very good seal when in your ears, you don't need any equalizer, the overall sound-quality is great, and the bass is really banging, without the need for any amplification.

Updated: Headset for my new Nexus 4

Hi all,
I'm still looking for a decent headset for my Nexus 4. I've gone through browsing/reviewing many products this week, and I was dead certain I was going to get these SkullCandy Headsets but then found out the Mic is incompatible with Android phones.
I'm dead certain these 3 below are compatible with my Android device, please help me decide which one, thank you!

Apple EarBuds MB770G/B (£14.00)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_earbuds
Audio Technica ATH-C505iS (£14.50)
http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=91_87&product_id=330
Now, the Audio Technica one is a new discovery, I was browsing around today and I spotted this one on Amazon/Ebay but is cheapest on their main site which suits me fine.
I can get the Samsung's for £10, Apple EarBuds for £14 and Audio Technica for £14 also.
Please advise on which one you think is better and why. In my head, I think the Audio Technica would be best, why? I've heard people say the Apple EarBuds sound isn't all that, they break easily the cap on the earbud itself and where the wire goes into the actual earbud there is no protection, one bit of a pull and you could damage the earphone. Samsung seems the cheapest option out there, this is probably a freebie with most of the older Samsung's, I think this may be the S2 or S3 headset.
Audio Technica has a Sensitivity of 102dB, the Samsung has a Sensitivity of 105dB and the Apple EarBuds have a Sensitivity of 109dB.
Sorry, didn't expect to write so much, hopefully I can get some good feedback from you all

what about iphone 5's earbuds much better than the 4S ones but don't expect the controls to work though

I've heard that the Apple EarBuds don't really fit all ears and you can't use the standard foam/cotton caps on them to make it a bit more bigger for fit, also they are quite hard so can make your ears hurt if in for long. Read this from reviews.

Updated the whole thread, please advise, would love to order one of the 3 today after good feedback, cheers!

The audio tech... H are really good earbuds . Look at the reviews

I have a pair of OLD AT's and they are great for clarity, but literally NO bass. I cannot vouch for these though, sorry.
But I kinda like the a-jays one+

You could definitely look into the senhiser range. I personally have a pair, mic less as I don't like in line microphones, and they are amazing.
The dB count on these can go up to a wopping 120, that's what mine do anyways. Definitely check them out!
Oh and I forgot to say, I brought mine for £10 but a good pair with mic can be around £20

Do add some links for me on where I can purchase at this price, I'm impressed. I do love Sennheiser too.
