Well the ones included with my HTC Arrive had pause/play,answer and volume up & down but they broke and any other headphones I use with 3 button controls the only button that works is the pause/play feature?So is there any 3 button headphones that controls actually work with WP7?
...Anybody?
A2DP
Hi iEatRappers,
Have you thought of buying an A2DP bluetooth clip? (they can be bought very cheaply on Ebay) this way you can use any earphones that you like and the controls that you require are contained within the clip.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
I assume they will work, I borrowed some headphones the other day from mate that had play/pause and volume on them and they worked.
Creamy has the best response.
But you could just buy some more HTC headphones.

Can anyone recommend which bluetooth headset is good? I want something that is able to listen to music and receive call. I just hate those cable when listening to music. Thank you in advance.

the problem is with the music player your using. use a different one and give it a whirl.... should work a peach. i use tunewiki or simply music (both free apps).
Just for test I bought this from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...163711&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4192wt_911
It's a pretty cheap one from Hong Kong and it works perfectly (both calls and audio)! So I can imagine some other cheap BT headsets (with A2DP profile) will work as well.
Why that one you might ask. Well, in combination with € 3,- helmet speakers I have a complete working BT audio setup nicely tucked away in my helmet. For navigation etc on the motorcycle! All together for like € 10,-. A bit different than the € 200-300 they ask for BT sets built into a helmet!
There are BT headsets from $ 4,40 (around € 3,50), but I'm not sure they support audio over bluetooth. So you might want to look out for that!
But my estimation is that it can be done for around 10 euro's! Search on ebay for 'a2dp -dongle' and you might get some interesting hits!
i got the jabra street BT3030 today, bought from amazon.de
i am impressed, because it looks stylish, it worked from the beginning without any adjustments (using latest nightly of CyanogenMod, just start you bt-headset, open BT settings in your phone, add JABRABT3030 pin 0000), the headphones are really good (of course no comparison to expensive sennheiser) and the microphone is very good (i am phoning during this post ). And i like the fact, that you can buy some other headphones with 3,5mm pin and use it.

Depending on the use of the bluetooth headset, another suggestion could be something from Jaybirdgear.com, like the Sportsband 2. It's a lot more pricy than the others, but if you don't like the in-ear style, and even wants to listen to music while in the shower, yes I can confirm that they are able to do this without getting broken, these might do the job for you
But ofc, if running, sweating and getting wet while listening to music ain't your thing - don't buy em, as they are rather pricy.
I use a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. Absolutely brilliant sound quality, plus it has a mic and next/back/play/pause buttons. I can confirm that the controls work with the Desire, cause it has AVRCP.

Hello,
I bought the iBeats headphones an they arrived today.
I've put them in my normal sensation (not XE or XL) and it works flawlessly.
When I press the play/pause button on the headphones, it works well.
But the arrow keys do not work (volume up/down).
At least, nothing happens.
Is this normal? A defect? Can this be fixed?
Thank you!

Hi!
Is it possible your iBeats is the iPhone version? Apple supports the 3 button control layout, Android only supports 1 button.
Work around solution is to find a headphone controller app (by Christoph is good) so you can control volume (plus forward, rewind, etc) with a button press

But the default HTC headphones also have 3 buttons on the cable?
I bought the Apple version on amazon, to me is the ControlTalk function not so important, so I ordered it myself. But it would still be great, if it would work.

Try jays headset control, its free from the market and works well with the one button headsets that work with android phones. I have the SOL Republic Amps and confirmed that the mic, answer and end calls works with the middle button. So with the addition of the app, I can now control volume and skipping tracks as well.

Hi!
Yup HTC sensation default headphones have 3 buttons but difference is the spacing lines in the jack between iphone ones.
IPhone headphones (w/ Mic) 3.5 mm jack has a different spacing lines layout (stereo left/right/Mic) than Android phones. This also functions for the volume/track control. If you have a chance you can compare both of the same model, for example Klipsch Si4 vs Si4A.
Earphones w/o Mic should be universal (only has 2 spacing lines). But no control function.
Hope this info helps

Thanks for the explanation.
As long as micro and middle button work, I am satisfied.
I'm not saying is your situation too. I'll just tell you about mine.
I've bought myself a Beats headset and because of the price, I was convinced it was genuine, but guess what? Is not...
At the 1st use I've seen the 2 volume buttons are not working so I thought like our colleague here "it have to be only for iPhone". Although, something bothered me so I've start to dig.
First of all, I've measured the HTC headset with an ohmmeter on the 2 contacts of the jack, near the cable. Each button push produce a different resistance, like is supposed to be. These resistances are measured by phone as well and it react consequently.
The big surprise was when I've done my measurements on the Beats as well. You'll never guess
The volume buttons effect = ZERO
Based on the "it have to be only for iPhone" theory, I want to be sure that those buttons are doing something in that headset, so I've disassembled the remote.
Once again you'll never guess... the 2 buttons (on my Beats headset) are simply not connected to anything
As a final test, I've took the headset from my wife's iPhone and put in my Sensation. It's working...
And by the way, the HTC headset (of my phone) is working completely on the iPhone as well.
In the end I've offered myself a couple of beers to help me accept the humiliation of being as fooled as I was.
Later edit
I've just read an article saying that "To those with beats headphones know that the volume buttons will never work on any android devices. The volume buttons are technically specific to I products (iPhone iPod etc) and HTC phones with beats audio."
Well I'm seriously having my doubts. Why? Because a colleague of mine, from office, has a very working Beats headset with his Android Galaxy and, like I've said, my HTC headset is working with my wife's iPhone (and I don't think is because we are relatives). Here is the article I'm not agreeing with. In the user review section.
I m using beats audio earphones and they are wrkng fearlessly.

iBeats on the normal HTC Sensation?
Hi there,
I've been looking for a while, and haven't been able to find an answer. I'm looking for a good pair of headphones/earphones to use that also have a mic and volume controls. I like the skullcandy Hesh Carbon/Black, but I am told that all controls only work with phones that support a TTL headphone port.
So does the Sensation (Tmobile) support TTL?
or does anybody have these headphones, and have been able to use all controls?
Thanks!
AKG are very good headphones but they have buttons not all compatible with htc sensation

If you take a gander in the accessories threads, there are a few that work with Android phones. On the budget side, ajays four+ I think is called work. I personally use SOL Republic headphones because I love the clarity and quality. That's mid range prices. The mic works and the center button works because they are intended for iphones but I can use the jay's headset app to use the center button to do anything I want like control volume level and skip tracks.
Hello guys!
I'm interested in a pair of headphones/handsfree, but I've tried a few "universal" units and either the buttons or the mic doesn't work with the RAZR HD.
Is there any way we can identify which headphones/handsfree fit on our unit?
Thanks in advance.

There are two specifications for implementing headset-based remote controls. One way is the way Apple implements headset controls. The other way is how everyone else in the industry implements headset controls. (sounds very "Apple-like" doesn't it?)
You can use this general rule:
If the headset says it works with the Apple iPhone, then it probably won't work for the Droid RAZR.
Quick example of this:
Klipsch Image S4: Version of headphones without headset controls.
Klipsch Image S4i: Same headphones, has headset controls that work with Apple iPhones (but not Android)
Klipsch Image S4a: Same headphones, has headset controls that work with Android.
Thanks for the input, but I have tried samsung galaxy s hands free for example and they don't work.

Just to be clear... the headphones and mic for these kinds of heatsets will always work regardless of intended Apple / Android manufacturer. Handling audio is just pure analog electrical signals.
However, the push button controls will depend on how the smartphone manufacturer implemented the control specifications. So even though your Dr. Dre Beats for your iPhone works for your Android smartphone, I'll bet that the buttons (Fast Forward / Rewind / Skip Track / Mute / Volume Up / Volume Down) does not work for Android the way that it works for iPhone.
I have been using Skullcandy ink'd with mic for over 6 months. At TjMaxx and Marshall's for $9.99. I also have Klipsch Promedia with Microphone. They both work flawlessly, but you can't go wrong with Skullcandy for the price. They sound awesome, come with lifetime warranty, and cost so little.
anyone can tell me if this

thks a lot!
I would assuming they are the mic one they will. I have a pair of skullcandy fmj's and they work just fine. Also have a pair of Skullcandy 50/50 just the track control buttons don't work but the middle button and the mic work

Hi, after examining some reviews and comparisons of Z3, I liked and plan to buy it. I wonder is it fully compatible with remote&mic headsets for iPhone.
Please share if you've ever tried a headset (with remote&mic built for iPhone) with Z3. I appreciate the responses in advance, thanks.
If you just want a play/pause control on your remote, iPhone headphones should be fine. The volume control gets a little harder to find.
Some people have said the Xiaomi Piston headphones work for 3 buttons; haven`t tried them myself. If you are looking for extra detail, I did some research and testing on headphones I had around (including old iPod ones) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/accessories/modifying-headphones-inline-3-button-t3042195
IME, Play/Pause and sound all work. Volume does not.
The weird thing (for me at least) was the iPhone headphones would create a terrible high-pitched tone for anything requiring the mic. This included phone calls, audio and video recordings.
You can see it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-94zdmyUwNRdUZGQi1SVTlidkE/view?usp=sharing
I dunno what the deal was, maybe it was just my headphones as they were a couple years old and well used. Probably a bad connection. I bought a $20 set of in-ear w/ mic Sony headphones at my local convenience store and all is well.
