Hi guys,
Got my SGS last week and imediately go tinto Darky's 9.5 and Oh Boy! what a fun device it has become!
But I am not able to use the poswer of VOODOO because of pathetic stock earphones.
I wanted to know what all you guys are using. I have tried Sennheiser c300 from a friend it was amazing. I have been going through forums but getting diverse views on compatibility for earphones like 'Kilpsch Image S4', 'Etymotic MC-3' about compatibility.
Can we build a database of compatible headphones/earphones to unleash the beast called Voodoo. Please name only those earphones/headphones that you can guarantee works for SGS:
< $50
$50-$100
$100-$200
>$200
It will help all users wanting to get a new earphone.

I would recommend Klipsch Image S4 if they work...few around on eBay for like $60...good deal...when I say 'if they work' its because I own the S4i which do not work..but I believe that's because of the control/remote...

To use a headset designed for the iPod on your SGS you need an adapter that swaps the connections from the second ring and the sleeve in the TRRS (tip, ring1, ring2, sleeve) plug configuration. I got one from kvconnection called the "iPhone headset to other cellphone headset jack adapter." It's a bit pricey, but well made. I'm sure you can find cheaper ones.
With this adapter, I don't have to hold down the remote button to hear the music properly on my Klipsch Image One and the play/pause button works, unfortunately the volume buttons still don't work.

These are some quality headphones that are working fine on SGS (including the microphone) and the best advantage is that you can use your favorite set of headphones with them because of that 3.5mm standard stereo jack they have in the microphone housing.

Works with Iphone, not Nokia/Galaxy S plug. Also buttons will never work. Read supercurio's thread for this.
if you want high bass headphones with a better soundbase, get the MDR-XB700's instead. No batteries needed and very deep and clear bass. MDR-XB500 are good alternative under 50E. Note that these headphones dont have support for mic so might be a bit off topic...
If you want something really cheap with good bass and clarity, JVC Marshmallow can be found under 10$.
Of course they are lacking in the medium range as almost every earbuds under 50$ do, but they are a definite improvement over the stock ones.
I'm using them with this to add mic, radio and the button (which is working as intended, 2 clicks = next track).
Hey dude i am from mumbai ..i am using Sony MDR-XB20 ITS THE BEST.. comes for 1800Rs
Awesome Headphone

Klipsch Image S4 works great and I haven't had any problems at all, but if you have tv-out turned on you will hear a low swooshing sound.
Are there any headphones out there with controls on ??
when im out walking my dogs, i dont have a hand free to get into my pocket unlock the screen and skip track.
its kinda difficult. and controls around my neck would make life so much easier
I bought a pair of fischer audio dba-02 iem's. The best sounding headphones i have ever had. Clear, precise and combined with voodoo sound make every song new again.

I have the Bose MIE2. They don't work well with the SGS. The volume is soft, the mic doesn't work and neither does the button.
I bought a cable from KV connection ($20). The volume is OK and the sound is excelent (good bass) now and the mic works, but the button doesn't work. Auto answer sloves that partially, but you can't skip songs.

Hi, I just bought this great phone, and now want to buy headphones with remote control for music and microphone to answer calls ... Juts like the ones the come included with the phone, but with much better sound. Can you recommend some?
Any headphones with remote control, such as the iPhone, would work in the Desire HD with full funcionality? Thank you very much everybody.
Forget that... sorry.
Had a look for some but didn't find. So I'm thinking about making my own by cutting the stock headphone just above the control/mic unit and then attaching to a decent pair of headphones to it. Should be pretty simple I think.

iPhone headsets may work with limited functionality. The Klipsch s4i mic and answer button works but music controls do not.

Instead of attaching headphones attach a 3.5mm jack.
this is the best works perfect, and has a high definition sound
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=SHB9000/97&scy=in&slg=en
I personally use the 'jabra bt3030'. Search it on google. The sound quality is awesome and it also is usefull for awnsering calls (great microphone! people don't hear I'm in my car, and my car makes some sound!), but the primary use is for listening to music. I currently have poweramp on my phone and it works with the headset buttons.
The best thing for me is that you can put the phone in your pocket, bag, or leave it on the table and walk away without fear cables getting stuck, or having to stop the music.
What it isn't good for, is navigation. The headset goes in standby when there isn't any sound played. This saves energy but there is a small lag between the headset going on and playing sound. This doesn't happen when listening music or awnsering calls, it stays on. But for navigation, often two words fall away. The battery life is awesome. I sometimes question myself if this thing has a corereactor inside producing it's own energy.
Only negative point is the price. It's more expensive then none bluetooth headsets. But the durability is high and makes up for the price.
I think the Jabra seems the best choice, especially since you can attach your own headphones... The only downside I find is that you must have the bluetooth on all the time, and if the Desire HD battery may suffer because of it. And we all know battery is not one of the strong points in this phone...
Any wired alternative?
Currently I have the Dr. Dre beat Tour mobile headphones. The button works with droidshuffle app. But if the action is more than a single tap of the button, it goes into phone mode. Hoping for someone to fix that. For now I can only use the button as a next track button, but the sound quality is great so i deal with it.
Bluetooth headsets are compatible with almost all phones.
I'd recommend a bluetooth headset but with some tweaks the HTC DHD headset is also great.
You could cut out the earpieces and attach some new ones.
Well looks like cutting and attaching a 3.5mm jack isn't as easy as I thought it would be, I have the sound working but not the controls - I haven't touched anything on that side so I've got no idea why!

On the second pic, the connection on the top is my new wiring.
For anyone else thinking of having a go, apart from the controls not working, you show be aware that the wires are coated in an enamel which makes the connections a little trickier plus the board is held in with some tough insulating glue which will have to be removed before you can take it out (this might be visible on one side of the first pic - yellowish colour).
Looks like I'll have to keep looking for un-ear headphones with music control and Mic unless anyone has any tips.

Tried to give it a go myself a while ago. I ended up tearing up the wires on the board. The weld spots loosens easily then everything goes to shät.
I like akg headphones. Good quality sound at a reasonable price. At their site they have a model with a remote and mic on it (wired). It only says compatible with iphone.
Does anyone know if they work on other phones, like htc?

Hey how do you connect a bluetooth headset to the Desire HD? I have trouble
wouldnt it be easier just to swap the speer part of the HTC headset
This is what I did..too bad I didn't have a camera lying around to take a pics when i opened up this.But this way you wont ruin your board soldering. Oh and remember to use a 15W-25W (I use an ANTEX C15) or you'll end up burning the speaker coils and the film.
I use Jabra 3030 for music and when I'm driving.This was just an experiment,got this cheap Panasonic headset for a tenner from HMV and sounds amazing..just like my Jabra
hi kamranh3 what is the model of your bt headset? there should be a pairing button somewhere.(read the manual if you're not sure) usually you gotta press it for 2-5 secs to put it on pairing mode.then tap scan for devices on your DHD and it should see your headset..well probably

Sennheiser mm50. Disgned for iphone but works on DHD also.
I have them for 2 years. You can by them on ebay for 18$
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
@ Rajnus:
the Sennheiser MM50 has "only" a button for take and end calls or can you skip the tracks and adjust the volume?
I haven't found at the moment a heaset fitting for the DHD which has all this features, so I will solder my own headset, since I modifed my HTC RC C160 to have after the mic and control piece a standard 3,5mm female jack to plug each headset. but this solution locks not perfect, there are than to much cables and I can't adjust the volume.
So I will make a second headset: (the parts should arrive in the next days)
a further HTC RC C160 + Sennheiser CX280 (with integrated small Volume controller. all from Amazon.de for less the 40€
I will again open the mic piece of the c160 and solder the cutted wire from the cx280 (after the volume controller) and have so a (for me) perfect DHD headset. let's see if that work
Anyway, if somebody has a better out of the box solution for a in-ear headset with volume and musicplayer control for the DHD please feel free to share!

Does such a think exist for the desire? Will it require a different music application? I use the Xperia x8 while cycling so having big music controls is very handy!
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

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.

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

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.

I use my old Samsung epic 4G in ear earphones which have the remote for answer and mute but that's about it, no volume rocker. They have a nice bass boost I might add.
I always chime in on these kinds of threads with my personal favorite: Zagg Smartbuds.
Been using them since I got my Nexus One, and they sound great. The single button works just fine for play/pause, and most music apps I've come across (like PowerAMP on my phone) support double- and triple-clicks for FF and RW functions just fine with these earbuds.
There's a mechanical slider for volume control which isn't totally ideal, but is probably the only way to do volume with headphones technically designed for the iPhone.
They shouldn't cost too much either. Like $60 or something?
V-Moda revamp. Period.
Anyone have any affordable suggestions?
I don't exactly want to spend $100+ on heaphones

With all the experience i got in life, i can tell: Quality has a price.
In other words, cheap price usually don't have quality.
The headphones that came with my Nexus One work great. The controls work perfectly and I've always felt the sound quality was great. (Although, I'm not a expert in audio quality.)
Works perfectly for me when I go to the gym.

Fair enough. I was looking at some Beats by Dr Dre, but i might wait a few weeks before i actually decide to buy some.
Grab a pair of Ultimate Ears Super-Fi 5vi on eBay for about $50~80
They are basically the same as the Ultimate Ears 600vi, which is selling for about $100-120. The 5vi has a single button that works with the Sensation. UE discontinued it a while ago and replaced it with the 600vi, which is basically the same but with iPhone style 3-button design. The extra two buttons won't work with the Sensation anyway, so you may just grab the old version, the 5vi, for much lower price.
HTC+Beats=
Maybe HTC will give out headphones to people who have bought one of their phones?
I'm one who listens to continuous music for hours at a time, so the remotes just get in the way for me. I generally don't buy them with the remotes because they either don't work / are more expensive than remote-less models/ both.
As far as earbuds go, I've had several in the sub-$100 range, and bang-for-your-buck I haven't found anything to beat my Sennheiser CX300's. For only 30 dollars they're on par with my nicer Shure earbuds, but much less expensive. They're also very compact and easy to tuck anywhere. I highly recommend them if you're on a budget but want good sound, just make sure you use the right set of ear pieces (it comes with 3 sizes) to get the right bass transfer. You'll know when it's right because it will sound great.
I have in-ear a-JAYS Four earphones. I love the cristal clear sound quality. The flat cable is a real day to day pleasure, no more annoying tangled cables as they say. What really sucks is that they're made for apple devices , so only one of three's remote controller buttons works on android . It seems there's no way to make the two other buttons to work on android devices

Now I've been using these for 6 years and they're amazing, I just rebought them because they died today. Look for "she 9550" on amazon, they have AMAZING bass. And then look for a controller, they intercept the mp3 jack and the nub, they're cheap! Just got mine today.

Klipsch "Gaming" earbuds from Amazon. Identical specs to the S4i but with a single button control. Great sound quality and work fine with the Sensation. They also include a nifty splitter so you can use them for your PC. Cost is around $53 or so last time I checked.
Also, Best Buy currently has Woodees Blues on sale for under $40 (used to be $79 or so). I picked up a pair on a whim, and they sound excellent.
Both work fine with the sensation for play/pause and answering/disconnecting calls. I haven't found any that work with ff/rw, etc. besides the stock HTC ones.

Skull Candy 50/50 No Longer Working?
This seems to be the most relevant thread I can find for this question. I have a pair of Skull Candy 50/50 headphones with mic that I had been using on my Nexus one (purchased in the last few weeks... and before I knew I was upgrading my phone). The volume rocker didn't work on the nexus one but the ONE feature (aside from sound quality) that I need from my headset is MUTE. It worked on the Nexus One and it doesn't work on the Sensation 4G.
Has anyone seen this with other headsets? Is there anything I can do besides investing in a new pair (the crappy ones that come with the phone are no good for my purposes unfortunately... I end up on a lot of conference calls in noisy places like airports so I like the sound isolation of the skull candy earbuds with the mute/un-mute on the headset so that I don't have to constantly power on the phone's screen to mute or un-mute the call).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

yup, you got it.. I did that to my hd2 awhile back too so I thought why not my sensation.
I don't know, I've been using the stock Sensation earphones, no major complaints, except that maybe a volume control would be nice on the remote, and they seem somewhat fragile - compared to a free pair I got that came with a friend's HTC Wildfire, only has a single button though.
Another thing I would take into consideration is what the earphones will be used for. For example, for work, I used to take a crappy £2 set of earphones, because they'd often get caught in machinery, or cut, etc.
Does anyone know if it's possible to reassign functions to the buttons on the remote?
I guys finally as per your suggestions got my HTC One s from Tmobile, a blue version works very much snappy its time to get a new headphones since I took the liberty of stamping my Desire S headphones ending up being crushed... Can you please point me to some good headphones with call control.. Thanks in advance
List for htc headphones that work all three buttons & mic
- urbeats
- htc beats solo
- Sony smart headset
- Nocs NS200H-001
- Nokia purity
try on the monster ibeats headphones for HTC rezound has awesome bass and superb sound ya its on the costly side as it might cost around 5000- 6000 Rs. so think va its the dr dre ones only !! but worth buyin ! with call control and everythin in it!
If you want to look cool, buy beats, otherwise I recommend pretty much any other headphones if you are look for good sound quality. Others may disagree but to me, the beats have wayyy too much bass and make your music sound very low quality.

NoiseHush NX22 Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones for HTC One Sa
Damn, you just missed the $25 dollar BRAINWAVZ HM3s; But you can still grab the Incipio f38 . Which are exactly the same--exception: accessories and slight material on pad--for $30. The HM3--or Fischer Audio FA-004 or f38--are better then pretty much any headphone mentioned thus far; especially the beats and **** candy.
If you don't mind importing from japan go on ebay and buy the JVC Victor HA-S500. It has the latest headphone breakthrough: carbon nano-tubes. They are on another level of audio listening.
I'll come back with more suggestions later.

Yes, and if you want something in the same price range that doesn't suck at that little sound quality thing ... well you can get JVC FX101s or FX40s. You can also get the Philips SHE3580 or the Thermaltake Isurus. Why settle for bad sound quality-- even on a budget?
I am glad you went with the JVCs. The only get better as you listen. They'll sound a bit bright and bassy--with slightly recessed mids--for the first few hours but as they burn in the mids come forward, the bass tames, and the highs mellow. Carbon nanotubes are a beast to play with and they handle any volume and genre.

What's your budget?
For ear buds, anything under $50 won't have too much difference.
Don't get skull candy or beats, they are over priced crap.

I was thinking anything cheaper than S4a that comes close performance wise so that's $69-0 range.
I was hoping to come up with a decent list for people. Then I can sort it neatly on the first post.
I don't see much sense in putting in the big bucks for Monster or Shure just for your similarly priced ($350) phone, but I might include those too for the extravagant I guess.

those are the best "investment" I ever made in headphones. It's actually the ones I'm most satisfied with !
Anyway I saw on a review on a French site that the phone is coming with headphones
Theoritically, the best earphones should complement the frequency response of the N4, which we don't know yet. I'm still waiting on GSMArena's review and their RMAA test results.

Until Google confirm this I'll keep adding buds.
Those in the link look comfy, not to sure about the sound quality though.

If you are considering a $69 S4, might as well add a little bit to get a Shure SE215 for around $100~$120. The sound quality is much better than S4.
http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE215LT...qid=1352999128&sr=1-6&keywords=shure+earphone
It's not too expensive but provide very good quality. If you spend any money for earphones under S4, it would be a waste because majority of those earphones are just mass produced generic ones with their own label slapped on.
Trust me, I own almost $800 worth of headphones so I think I have fair share of insight into that.

No offense here but after you try a real good set of headphones, those cheap ones just sound garbage.
I used to buy those under $10 headphones all the time but then I spent some real money on a true mid-fi, hi-fi set, I can never go back to the cheap headphones anymore.
Well I'm looking for in-ear phones that have mic and controls. As we don't know which one is gonna work with the N4 I will wait a little bit longer.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cellphone uses standard 3.5mm headphone jacket, it doesn't matter what brand or whom the phone is from.
Shure is a very dedicated audio products company which mostly make high quality audio equipment. It may be a pricey at first glance but trust me, in audio world, that's just entry level. But they are very durable and the sound quality is just great.
If you have tight budget, you can get a Klipsch S4 one which is cheaper but still good quality,

The last thing you want to get are the cheap $10 ones. They simply are not worth it.

I know, it's not expensive for good audio equipment. I'm just worried about Mic and Controls .. I sometimes heard about other headphones that controls don't work and stuff like that. So I'm looking for one that's working with the N4 for sure.

Hmm usually for those, mic and volume control are fine because they are standard input/output. Usually if there's something wrong, it's the fwd/play/rwd buttons. But you can try anyway, Amazon has 30 day return policy. If it doesn't work, they won't charge you for restocking and return shipping fee.
