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

[Q] Working headphone adapters

i have the akg k370 whcih dont work with my SGS, since the order of the pins is differend (mic and ground are switched).
since i love that headset im looking for a working adaptor
i couldnt find any in the internet
so far i managed to solder my own from an old adapter which didnt use its microphone pin.
but since it looks...lets say...selfcrafted im looking for one that works that u dont have to cut open and change the pins your self (or add a wire as i did)
if u know of any working ones which use all 4 pins and switch ground and mic pls tell me where i can buy em...

Similar issue here. I have Dr. Dre Beats and from what I've found from reading through is that I need to switch the ground/mic wires? I can do this if necessary and can even get a nice job done of it, but wouldn't this break my headset for other phones/players?
Point being a nice adapter would be sweet.

I bought this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290460258359&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Still waiting it gets here.

Surely if the ground connection was different then no standard plugs/phones would work or does the phone dynamically change the ouputs on pins depending on what's plugged in (since it has to support tv out as well)?

got the same ones, they work fine.

those adaptors and the nokia ones work, but they make the cable too long besides considering that the headsets mentioned already has a mic and you add another adaptor mith a mic, its simpler to just have an adaptor that switches the mic and ground terminals around
so what i did is i made this

i took my nokia ad-57 adaptor, cut the wire, cannibalized a female 3.5mm 4pole from some generic adaptor, soldered the wire so that ground from the 3.5male is soldered to the second ring from tip. thus, simply, the female of the adaptor is wired like an iphone compatible, and the male is wired galaxy s compatible.
if you cant be bothered to diy, you can get this http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
but at 18$ plus shipping, i just think it is too expensive, lol

Another adapter.It's the same as yours but is way too expensive too http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
The good thing is that it's premade. No soldering and cutting

damn, that's expensive. but I guess it'll be worth it to make my "expensive" headphones work, lol.

i found one on DX, comes with MIC so you can asnwer the phone and listen without taking out the headphones
waiting for it to arrive and test to see if it's compatible with SGS

I had to stick black tape around my mic button on the headphones I used to use on my iPhone, I kept the same headphones cause they were amazing sound and pricey and didn't want to chuck them away, Didn't realize it would be a problem lol, I want one of these adapters from a Uk store

Ordered an adapter from KVConnection, works like a charm! I think it's worth the price, considering I didn't have the time/tools/parts to make this by myself.

You can say that the adapter is good, perfect,excellent,nice,ok,etc but not worth at all 17$ for wires is pure stealing

I got a blackberry headset from my local street market. The earphones that came with it sound horrible, and the mic is a bit soft. There is no need to change anything however and the button works.
I'm planning on using it with the aux in of my car radio. With computer speakers it seemed to work (no echo). And it works well with a headphone.

In-line music control headphones for Desire

Hi all,
I am thinking of buying a HTC Desire. I currently use an Xperia x8 and they have inline headphones which are pretty good but require a special port

Thanks

Iv not seen anything that could let you use that type of earphone sorry...
I have tried two different earphones that have inline controls and found that the play/hold to skip etc button will work but the others such as volume wont. So not sure if skip buttons would work anyway, just to let you know.

The hardware case wouldn't match the stick, I'm afraid, so i won't think it will ever work.

I have a headset that came with my desire that has music controls similar to the one posted above. I'll try attaching a pic of it now. Its an official HTC product.
EDIT: Pictures attached

I too am looking for in-ear headphones with controller.

HTC provides us by the good headphones, i have this one

Lookin for an In-ear headset with remote for my Desire S
Sure we got a headset from HTC which came with the phone, and while the remote controller on the headset is great, the earphones themself are unconfortable and their sound quality is just not well enough.
Thats why im hunting on the internet for some propper headset with a remote, which can controll the music player on my Desire S.
Sadly, I didn't find it so far...
I'd really appreciate if someone could suggest me a Brand, who makes compatible In-Ear style earphones for HTC phones.

think this will give you what you want
Have been using these with a set of senheiser headphones, Works great.

you can buy the apple in ear phones if you dont mind wearing this trendy piece of sh**! I dont think it'll work with the stock player, but works with powerAMP and PlayerPro. I use the 'stock-apple-headphones' with the controll (with playerPRO) and I dont see why it shouldnt work with the in ear phones.
Im not allowed to post external links, just google for 'apple in ear headphones'

If you want to get a little creative with a pair of in ear buds. Going to try this this week.

Try some skullcandies. They are excellent sound quality, warranty is awesome (mechanical failure- free replacement, you break them- 50% off next skullcandies)
Some variants of the in ear headphones have in line controls, but they are about the size of the iPod ones, not sure if that's big enough for you...
Or, if you want to risk it... Try splicing the cable =)

I'm not sure if you've sorted this problem, but I just tried looking for the same thing.. HTC here sells in-ear headphones with limited controls (it plays/pauses and double clicks for next, but it is supposed to triple click to reverse.. as if) anyway, they aren't that good, but they do work with HTC gear..
BUT - today I went to a Sony Ericsson store and they had bluetooth headphones with FULL controls.. large like the ones you posted and they worked perfectly on my Desire.. they were expensive though... and I've never road tested them, but in the store, they were amazing.
if you google Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headphones, they come up right away.. there are a couple different models and you can switch the buds as well, which I hadn't realised.. (I never thought to check, but the SE ones sounded good anyway)

Well your headphone has a 3.5mm port but they appear to have an extra part that fits into something. It's hard to explain... erm in the pic to the bottom left so I wouldn't be too sure if they'd work or not. HTC give you free headphones with their phones but frankly They're not very well shaped for inside the ear as they're a complete round shape and are uncomfortable and awkward. I want to find better ones with all the music controls...

I use a pair of these:
klipsch. com/ na-en/ products/ image-s4i-overview
They're designed for the iPhone but they give pretty awesome quality and can be had pretty cheap now they're a bit older.
Pretty much any third party music player app can manipulate the middle button and you can answer calls/use the mic with them too.
I use PowerAmp and a single click on the middle button plays/pauses music, double click goes to the next track and triple click the previous. Unfortunately the volume up/down buttons don't work, but doesn't bother me as I can press the side volume keys on the phone through my jeans

Has anyone tried a set of headphones designed for the iPhone? I am partial to Sennheiser headphones myself and they do a set for that phone that has some similar controls.
Otherwise I will just hack a solution out of the set of headphones supplied with my soon to be purchased Desire S and my current pair of Sennheiser in ears. I am also tempted to make a setup for my HD 465 over the head headphones.

I got last summer zagg smartbuds and since then I have no problem at all.
I use PlayerPro.
The good thing about smartbuds over the other ones is that they have their own volume control (a sliding button) so 1 click for pause, 2 clicks for next, and 3 for previous and also volume control without touching the phone.

Beats by Dre: Tour with music control

[Q] Is there a Wired Remote for DHD beside the lame one it comes with?

Apart from the very ordinary wired remote that comes with the DHD, does anyone know if there's another HTC or a third party wired remote that will work with the DHD?
I'm after something with music controls (back and forward, play / pause and of course volume control). Additionally being able to plug your own headphones in is a MUST.
The RC E100 (below) would be PERFECT, but it's not for the DHD (apparently?). Anyone successfully modded this for the DHD?

+1 here. I dont know but by somehow the stock earphones come with the DHD are ********IT! Even worse than some non-branded 2nd earphones out there

I am really interested in a product like this. The oem earphone from the box is a joke.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

Yes, some more voices!
Surely there are more people who use their DHD to play music and surely they have their own headphones that are far superior in quality to the OEMs that come with the DHD.
I actually use two different pairs of headphones each day. A nice Sennheiser inner-ear ear bud pair, and an over the head "cup" pair by Audia-Technica. I use the ear buds when I'm out and on the go; walking, on the train, etc. I use the over the head pair when I'm sitting at the desk. So obviously the need for using your own 'phones is there.
If it's a matter of compatibility, surely the RC E100 can be used with our DHDs, right? I double checked and it can be used on the HTC Magic, which I had prior to the DHD! It uses a standard mini USB A connection. Different to the USB socket of the DHD, but I bet it can be modded.

yes please that would be great is someone can share his experience on any remote controls , been lookinf for some since aquite a while now

This might help: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications...-google-_-dig_cam-_-150731&CAWELAID=304715334
If I can find one cheap enough I'm willing to give it a go, Only 1 on ebay though and its £15.....

I read somewhere that one would need drivers too, as the RC E100 isn't made for the DHD.
Edit: But hey, if you can try it out for everyone that'd be mighty awesome of you.
Edit: Here's the official product page for the RC E100. Note that the DHD is not listed as supported. http://www.htc.com/hk-en/product/accessory/headset_rc-e100.html

Could just be a case of getting the pinout info for the dhd and matching it with a converter to the Hero? Ill have a further look and report back....
Anyone know where we get the software?

the included earphone is very good, much to my surprice and for £3.34 I think it is a bargain. you press once to pause and play, press twice to fast forward three times to backforward.

The HTC YCA300 is another ExtUSB breakout adaptor the same as the RCE100. Only it doesn't have controls.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=171922
The first issue that would need to be overcome is that the adapters are ExtUSB whereas the DHD is MicroUSB.
Even if an adapter could be used to convert Female MiniUSB/ExtUSB to Male MicroUSB then the chances are that it wouldn't work straight off and would require that driver - but again there's no guarantee that it would work with the DHD...

http://www.jabra.com/sites/mobile/na-us/products/pages/jabrabt3030.aspx
that's what i use. basically it's a remote for my phone. If i've got my earphones plugged into the DHD while the bluetooth thing is connected, the sound still goes through the audio jack of the dhd, so it really only acts as a remote for me.

Shame it's not a wired remote, as using Bluetooth is another battery drain the DHD certainly doesn't need.

would this work as an adapter ?

No, because that usb port is incompatible with desire hd.

The mount clamps onto the inside of my CD slot. I think it's better than windshield suction for reliability.
The Bluetooth unit only comes with a wall charger. Luckily it requires 5V for power so I cut off that end and put a USB plug on it. The auxiliary audio cable is included.
I got that power adapter because it sits totally flush with my power port.
My car's auxiliary audio jack and power port are inside the centre console so it's all hidden away. I haven't had to look at it since I first put it in. It pairs perfectly every time.

Overall I'm fairly satisfied. My HU doesn't have bluetooth and I didn't want to pay to get another one. Also, the X2 will continue charging my phone even when I'm running Pandora and Waze at the same time.

Okay fellas. Is there any way to get the awesome blue tooth connectivity junk in a car with a cassette player?
EDIT.: PLEASE IGNORE LOL

Let me know how well that bluetooth receiver sounds with your music. I've been looking for something exactly like this but have read lots of bad reviews of the sound quality using these bluetooth adapters.

I use TuneLink for Android, which is basically a Bluetooth to FM transmitter for cars like mine without a 3.5mm Aux Input. Sound quality is really good and miles apart from other FM transmitters I have used over the years.

Found a better deal for the belkin bluetooth here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CLYJ2I?in=4&is=300&qid=1357392847&sr=8-16 I been using it for a month just for music since I have bluetooth in my car for calls. It sounds pretty good and I only paid 36 for it a month ago on Amazon

If you have a nice audio system in your car and are accustomed to Hi-Fi audio in your vehicle (i.e. always opting for higher bit rate MP3, AAC, or even AIFF), there is NO bluetooth setup that you are going to be satisfied with for music.
While I use BT to listen to podcasts on my phone, I still burn CDs or use a direct connection for music. BT is convenient, but not even close to hi quality audio (hell... it isn't even close to a mid rate mp3). Anyone who tells you different either has never heard hi quality audio, or simply does not care about it.

I guess you can throw me in the "does not care about it" pile. lol. I have been using the HTC Stereo clip in my setup for audio and the thing thumps! I don't have hi fi sh!t in the car, just an aftermarket JVC with an aux port for the stereo clip, some aftermarket speakers that fit the stock setup (I have a 4 yr old to lug around in my truck) so space is limited, especially in going shoppping.
I used to feel the same way when I used my itouch years ago with those belkin FM transmitters. Depending where you are if there are saturated radio stations in your city, the FM transmitters will sound really crappy. But once you hit a clear spot, it's ok, but you can hear the static here and there. From that point, I had a tape deck in my car. Used the tape aux setup and plugged that into the itouch and that sounded 100x better.
But after saying that, I migrated back to burning random CD's until about a half year ago. When I got the stereo clip, using poweramp to tweak it's settings on the bt side, and the sound was just as good as a burned CD IMO.
But keep in mind, "I just don't care about it", remember? I somewhat agree that listening to CDs would be the clearest way to go and burning them is the next step to mix what you want, but doing that on the fly in poweramp or similar, is just so much more convenient not to mention less wires to mess with. I mean I remember adding gps onto my Sony Clie N70 pda. God that was like stringing xmas lights lol.
Bottom line, it really depends on how far you want to go in getting the "best" sound for your. Like for me that just don't care, I'm sure many of you will find something suitable. I guess that's the reason for this thread, no?

Why not just put all your music on a USB flash drive and stick it into your car?
solves both your problems.

Well for me, I only have an aux port no usb port on my HU. Not gonna spring on a new HU when the truck has 140k miles on it.

I've gone for the Mountek. Very impressed with the build quality...
