So I got a great deal on these phones and I was excited to use the built in volume and microphone features.
Neither feature works....I'm on Superclean EB01 2.4
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
Its the headphones themselves. Doesnt have anything to do with the phone. Most heaphones with a volume control and mic only work on Apple products.
Has anyone tried any workarounds that you know of?

Ive done a bit of searching here and havent found any posts with the information I'm looking for, they only had suggestions such as "i use these they sound good", not facts.
I'm looking for some bluetooth headphone suggestions along with the input sensitivity and bluetooth version as well as your opinions on satisfaction but mainly something that includes the input sensitivity of the different bluetooth headsets out there that people are using.
I am looking to move to a stereo bluetooth headset from my current bose in-ear headset and looking for something that will be the least disappointing in the move.
I use the Motorla S305 headphones. They are compatible fully with the music player (next, prev, stop, play, and etc) and all the phone options (dial, hang up, mute, and etc). The sound quality is great. They are pretty light weight and don't put too much pressure on your ears. I had them on for 4 hours straight with no issues.
I got a pair on amazon for $33.
I'm not sure what you mean by "input sensitivity." Are you talking about button pushing and what not? I haven't had any input or any mechanical complaints yet..
I just got the Sony Ericsson MW600 and it works really well. The nice thing about it is that I can use any wired earphones with it. It also includes an FM radio tuner.

I've been using the Plantronics 903 BackBeat for about a week now and they're awesome.
I also have the Bose in-ear headphones and was pleased to find that the earpieces on the BackBeat are the same exact style as the Bose (but they're not interchangeable).
The BackBeat is nice and loud, and all the buttons work, as well. One thing that I really like is that you can press the main button on the right earpiece to pause your music and use the built-in microphone to pipe in sound from around you. This way, you don't have to remove the headset to hear things around you. I wear them in an office setting so this feature is really important and works awesome.
As you already know from the Bose, these eargels do a killer job of keeping your music in and other sounds out - I can listen to my music at whatever volume without disturbing others nearby, even in the elevator.
Battery life is decent - I make it through a full workday with no issues, and they charge via microUSB (not proprietary) so I can easily charge them off my laptop if necessary.
Not sure what specifics you're looking for, but I'd highly recommend the BackBeat.
thanks for the input guys
as far as the input sensitivity i was thinking about the ohms and decibal values that the headphones can push and what frequencies the phones are rated on producing
a friend at the office has the 903 backbeat and he was going to let me try them, i work in an office environment as well and think they might work, just need to hear them first. The only worry I have is I also want to take them to the gym with me and worry about that loopy in the back bouncing too much, which is why im also looking at the s9-hd headset but have no one to reference to try them out.
I just purchased Skullcandy Fix Bud Headphones which turned out to be made of iP*.
The best headphones (sound wise) I've ever own so far. The only drawback is that volume buttons don't work.
Is there a way make it work on Android?
Thank you.
it should just work, however its possible that apple is doing some odd 1 off thing AGAIN. plug them in and try, if it works great if not your screwed save cutting the buds off and wiring it onto the stock headset lol
i have klipch s4i. I used this with iphone now i hav android and it does not work. Just thought i would let you know.
Any updates or ideas? I just got some Beats by dr.dre in ear earphones and yeah the volume buttons don't work on my android phone either(sidekick 4g) which really sucks.. apparently they're made for iP* too :/
There's an application called Klipsch Control that enables the volume button usage I think.

Download a app called headset button controller try that out
has anyone tried A2DP bluetooth headset with controls?
I just found this nokia bh-111 copy on dealextreme:
http://goo.gl/3vw3b
Looks good for the price, but i would only buy it if the playback controls are compatible and mic works.
Has anyone tried something like this?
I have an Omnia 7 if that matters.
I am using Motorola s605 A2DP headset with my Optimus 7 without issues . Playback controls switches tracks, pauses, stops and microphone works during calls as well.
I think you will have no problems with Nokia headset.
I know that of the standard is supported, it should work, but these particular ones are a nokia KNOCK OF so i am wary.
Thanks for the answer though, i'll probably buy it and hope for the best
looks like very good
so i was looking for some nice earbuds and since i listen to music on my phone a lot at work, though maybe i'd get some with a mic too. klipsch has the S4a available specifically for android (with a single button remote) and aside from that it is identical to the S4i, the 3 button apple version.
since my local bestbuy didnt carry the A's, i was searching the interwebs for success using the I's. in all my searching i found 1 post where someone confirmed the mic of the S4i worked on their android and that they were using ICS. i figured i'd take a chance on them since i had gift card and reward certs to use at bestbuy. i can confirm that the S4i's work with the sensation running ICS 4.03. the phone recognizes the mic and it does in fact work. the two volume buttons do not work (i expected this). the center button plays/pauses music and answers/hangsup phone calls all without 3rd party software. doubleclicking the center button seems to redial the last call. i would suspect that could be addressed by klipsch's app or other 3rd part apps but ive not tested them.
just wanted to post that the S4i earbuds/mic do in fact work on the sensation in case anyone else goes searching for this answer in the future.

I found this to work with my Sol Republic Amps HD as well. The earbuds are meant for ipods, ipads, and iphones, but work on my Senny running Virtuous Sensation 3.0 running ICS.
I took a call from my wife and she could hear me fine with the earphones, so the Amps HD is a keeper for me as well.
I just wanna clear this up but the klipsch s4i and any mic'd headphones will work for any android phone (mic and sound) but volume control/track change buttons will never work for android phones if headphones are IOS specific (and Vice-versa)
- Regular headphones have a 2-banded input plug
-Mic'd headphones and android OK 3-button headphones have a 3-banded input
-Mic'd Iphone headphones with 3-button control have a 4-banded input plug and the extra band tends to pull on your 3.5mm headphone input so be careful about pulling out/plugging in your headphones fast (if your careful and slow u will not cause any harm to your phone :] )
I mention all of this because i've heard android phones (the input plug) have the ability to utilize 4-band 3-button headsets but android software makes this impossible. So one day you may get an update and all of the buttons on your s4i(s) may work. but this is baseless speculation ive heard and I would really like to know if this is true or not also
anyways congrats on the new headphones and hope that all makes sense
good info. i only posted this because i found many ppl online saying the mic wouldnt work on their android with the s4i.

So... I have the beats urbeats headphones with a 3 button remote and 4 banded plug in my Galaxy Nexus. It works flawlessly with the back, forward, and pause buttons all working properly.
just sayin
Playing with the EQ And mine sound amazing.
Hello, today I bought the Monster DNA headset for my S5 but the volume control buttons don't work. I think it is because it is an "for Iphones" headset. Is there any way to make the volume control buttons working? Root + app , adapter ? Thank you.
As far as I know they use different protocols, so I don't think there's any way of making it work. I personally own the Skullkandy ROCnation aviators, and they are also designed for the i**** devices.
Only way you can overcome this issue is using a cable from headphones designed for Android, you can find many spares from other headphones on eBay.
Good luck.
