Hedphones with mic, volume and track control?

Hi,
does anyone use headphones other than the provided ones, and with microfone, volume and track control?
Thank you.
Best regards.

any comment here... is LG compatible with some other brand like Sony, iPhone, Samsung or Nokia?

Yeah, I'd like to know that too. It would be nice to have these controls.

Well, i can report that the Sony Ericsson handset that i have doesnt work, the iPhone headset mic doesnt seem to work either but the buttons kind of do.

currently using Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-503 on my optimus

I've been testing some nokia in-ear headphones i had , but they doesn't work properly, you can listen only one channel, if you press and hold the button you can listen in stereo.
I lost my favorite headphones, so i've been using the stock ones.
I'm surprised, they are not that bad.

I find that they dont fit in your ear properly, but that could be just me since I've been using in-ear for the past few years.

lg headphones dont fit in my ears too.. sound quality is acceptable but they are uncomfortable

I Got In-Ears!
Indian package has IEM's!
Are comfortable and have good noise isolation too. But just have one button. So track change is possible but not volume change.
Sound Quality is surprisingly good. Low frequencies are punchy. I use them regularly. They seem to be made for each other as high end IEM's are not good for O1. Show up the deficiencies in the output of the Device!
Any guesses to how long the battery will last for music playback?
I think it can go like 20-30 hrs with other radio functions minimized.

Well i dont care much abt backup but i have played arnd with sound quality a bit..My conclusion if u are looking for wide stereom a bit high-pitched sound use doubletwist ...And as for bass boosted, enjoyable music check out realplayer it rocks with the stock ones u mentioned !!!

I just hazarded a guess as to what the backup might be with the radios turned off. It may well be beyond 40 hrs with that monster of a battery.
As for sound quality i use PowerAMP. Allows me to tweak the sound a bit with the EQ.
And what i mean abt high end IEM was that they are useless on O1 as teh O1 itself does not output audiophile quality sound. So if someone needs absolute quality, they may do well to look at Cowon's range of PMP's but for a daily use mp3 player, O1 is good. I anyway dont like carrying my expensive IEM on overcrowded public transport. Too much snagging of wires has me concerned!

Why is LG partial to India! I mean its not like the earbuds are a big, expensive add-on. They could have just as easily added them to the world wide packages. From what i know the world packages dont contain the pouch too.
Then again, you guys get the phone for free or for $30US odd(or is it contract free in Romania?). While here its contract free and for $260US.
Anyway, its good for LG to setup the phone and package in a manner taht the end user can directly use teh phone. Screen protector applied, check. Pouch, check. 2Gb card, check. Decent earphones, check!
Thank you LG!

You can buy it contract free for about $240.
I got mine at about $12 for a two year contract at $21/month. It's cheaper than what i was paying before and i got a great phone almost for free so i'm not really complaning about the accesories.

i poured water on my headphones and the left earpiece stopped working .
i tried claiming with warranty but they said they need verify my phone(void delta xD).
i shelled out 10$ for another pice of crap

Thanks for the tip! The BH-503's are awesome!

After checking this headset out on the internet I got one too, thanks for the tip! It works perfectly, sound quality is awesome, it is extremely comfortable.
There are just two things which I need to figure out:
1. How to switch off the annoying blue LED indicator light while using it? It is so annoying when you are sitting on a bus, or on some other public transport and it lits up every couple of seconds. I hate it. I painted it black, put ducktape on it, but it is still visible.
Do you know if there is a way to turn this off somehow?
2. Can you use your P500 to do voice activated dialling with the headset? I tried pushing the multifunction button for a couple of seconds but than it turns off. If i press it once, it just beeps but nothing happens. If i press it twice after each other it dials the last number.
Can the P500 and android 2.2 in general do voice dialing?
Other than these two issues, I strongly recommend this headset for anyone, they are absolutely fantastic!
Peace

I'm also looking for a replacement for the bundled IEMs. Two things I dislike about them are - 1. The sound feels muddy/overwhelming bass compared to the Soundmagic PL11 I possess & 2. The mic has that teeny weeny flimsy button.
I considered the ME Electronics M2p M9p etc., the Soundmagic MP21 but they too seem to have that flimsy mic module as well. I'd prefer IEMs to headphones because of the portability offered by the former.
So can anyone suggest something along these lines? Maybe there is an adapter, or a Sony/Nokia mic module with a 3.5mm jack which will work? Thanks a lot.
PS - I'm from India & my budget is ~1500 INR

I bought Plantronics 216 In ear, but mic is not working and volume keys neither. Track control is working well and sound quality is good too, though.

First things first.. too many smilies for anybody's liking bud, avoid them.. now lemme use a smiley here
And coming back to your question, are all headsets with mic of course, are compatible with A2? Cause i uses to get weird things happening when i pressed the call button on the third party headsets.. thats why i got my self a sony earphones (not headset, i should say), which are good but not great, my bud's got technofusions twinwoofer from flipkart and says they are great..
And the two earphones you mentioned seems to be good ones, why change then??

how abt sony MDR-EX58V

samsung headfones
u can try samsung's headphone comes with 3.5mm jack (not micro usb)

I have those, but without the mic actually, and as I said before they are good, but not that great, but definitely better than the supplied ones with A2.

Alternative earphone for i9105/P

Well first of all,i'm not exactly a audiophile,but the original earphone given by samsung are not really satisfy.
I had a cheap earphone (under 20 bucks),while it did perform better than original earphone,i tempted to change it.
anyone here can recommend/suggest any nice entry level IEM to accompany our device? what earphone you guys using?
that's aside,anyone know what audio chipset our device using?i know the original s2 use yamaha,been wondering what's in our device. :laugh:

i dont know if you know this brand but try SenHeiser

I am bit suppreised! I had some samsung, philips (2x), htc (2x)... panasonic and senheiser (not the cheapes ones;P) and I really like the oryginal ones from s2+.
had even some fights for them with by women.

Aha, good topic. A semi-audiophile here. ;p
You can't go wrong with Sennheiser, be it earbuds or IEMs; entry level or mid or audiophile grade.
Personally I use buds as I can't stand IEMs.
If you're looking for IEMs, then you're spoilt for choice. Besides Sennheiser, Audio-Technica makes decent entry level to mid-range stuff too.
But, read these and decide yourself

For using with the phone, Sennheiser MX580. I bought from this Malaysian online seller
http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/davis.htm
Think you should buy online. Retail prices at shops in Malaysia are ridiculous, even for entry level. And most of the reputable brands seem to only be available at audiophile shops.
Agree with Brian about Skullcandy. They are surprisingly decent for entry level. Before i actually tested a pair, I thought they're crap like Beats lol

so it was dress casual day for my school and i wore a pair of shorts with a few pockets
i put my samsung stock earphone in the lower one and when i got home i took out my phone, wallet and forgot about the earphone
it was in the pocket and i put it in the washing machine and i realized what happened the next day! :silly:
i took it out and found some moisture on the bud
tried it on my iPod Nano
works perfectly fine
but i didn't wanna take the risk as i hate moisture in my electronic products
so i bought a new skullcandy earphone.... not quite expensive, around $230 HKD. the sound quality is good but i'm still fitting into the new earphone's sounds. though it's great!!
so i really suggest you guys to choose skullcandy instead of the other brand
beats is totally overpriced

They are at around 1800 inr. That's the issue, everything in Europe costs more. I can bet that those earphones you recommend would cost 3x more if they were actually being sold here.

Question USB C Wired Earphones

Can anyone recommend reasonably priced wired USB C earphones?
I'll be using it for calls. Have a couple of Bluetooth ones, good for music but not so for calls.
Thanks.

I'm using TWS PRO 60, it's really cheap, easy to use and it's bluetooth ones.
You can use for listen to music, make a call but i am not really sure you will like the bass.
Details..
Brand: Zipo
Microphone: Available
Sound type: TWS
Bluetooth version: 5

I use the ones from my pixel 3.

These work great with my Pixel 6 and 7
OnePlus Type-C Bullets Earphones (Black)
​

I bought the Google DAC/Adapter and I use Soundmagic E10, the best option in the cheap price. Now even discounted as E11 came out (but worse).

If you're just looking for cheap and half decent sounding, look for Samsung AKG USB C earbuds, they're good.

I think Moondrop still makes Shiroyuki (Snow White) and Nameless, both are buttons, cheap, and decent sounding too, you might have to look for them ... Tho. They're so damn cheap not a lot of resaler carriers them anymore.
I also make my own button earphones They're pretty easy to work with imo, a pair of shell, a pair of drivers and a cable (w mic if you want) and just a couple solder joints.
