I'm finding the headphones included with the Samsung Galaxy S to be pretty useless. They do not stay in my ears and was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Could just be me with dodgy shaped ears but I've never had a problem with any other in-ear headphones. The build quality, sound quality and other aspects of the headphone seem great (although the in line controls seem very limited) so it's a shame that they don't stay in my ears.
If anyone knows of a good 3rd party alternative (possibly even a Bluetooth stereo set) then do reply back with details.
TIA
The earphones seem fine to me, the rubber bits are a little bigger than what im used to with inear earphones (normally i go with the small ones). However i find them to be fine for me, and the sound quality is great.
I am using another headphone instead of supplied one. Anyway original one can answer calls but can't control volume / music player etc. so a little disappointed and now looking for Stereo Bluetooth headset.
Buy a pack of Sennheiser in-ear replacement rubber thingo's. They go for around $5. Fits perfectly. Apart from that, the originals sound like crap but are good as freebies.

It's not just you. They pop out of my ears as well - very irritating indeed. I don't use the headphones often, but when I do I just use my iPhone or PSP ones (for listening to music, not calls etc).
/PS: Not sure if these work as an antenna for the FM radio thingy though...
Have you ever tried apple headphones worst I've ever tried doesn't fit well and you can hear everything around you for a device that you paid more than any other ..... Those are useless not the SGS ones that are good in-ear and they stay in my ears but yes I regret a bit that they don't have a previous-next song like the apple one (only good thing about those)

I think it's your ears m8. Mine fit great.
I would've liked to have a clip to clip to my clothes so they dont fall off but..
Yea sound quality is very good aswell!
For those looking for BT stereo headphones, I've been using the Plantronics/Altec Lansing Backbeat 903's for almost a year now, and I love 'em. I honestly haven't tried them with the SGS, but they've worked beautifully with every phone, pc, and ps3 I've paired them with.
I've found something like that: I can't post outside links
well it's AIAIAI TRACKS HEADSET those are hedphones with mic.
I bought Thomson ultra comfort HED17 ear pads and now stoc earbuds don't fall off.

Only thing about the 903, dont use them for workouts if your sweating... I did, and they broke down in 2 days ....
Personaly I'm looking for 1 ear solutions that also can receive media output from SGS.
Maybe u'd like Jabra Stone.
Personally I am using a Samsung 3.5mm adapter, that has a multifunctional button (play/pause/take or end call) into which i plug my bang&olufsen earphones.. it's working great and the good part is that you can use whatever earphones you like
edit:
oh also i think the original sgs headphones suck donkeyballs... the sound quality is bad, it's inear (which is pretty unhygenic/unhealthy), cable is about 20cm too short for someone like me, the rubber things are not very firmly attached and i almost lost them like 10 times in 2 weeks..
thats why i threw away those things and got myself some nice headphones+that extension cord/remote control/whatever thingy
how do you find SQ compared to an iPhone?
My SGS is practical unlistenable with good stereo headphones due to strong hiss in the background, especially when you pause a track, its less noticable on stock headphones,
I thought it was a general issue, but probably its only me phone/firmware..
Just bought Motorola HT-820 Stereo Bluetooth headset for 28$. Sound quality is average but full control over music player. Play/pause, next, fw, vol +- and telephone conversations. Great for outside during cold days.
fAtaXe, i'm looking for that kind of adaptar, which one is yours?
think the stock samsung headphones are very disappointing in terms of fit in the ear. It seems they have only catered for an 'average' ear size.
I would have prefered ipod style headphones with a mic...i wear the samsungs and they just fall out embarrassingly when using them for hands free conversations.
I am currently using my old nokia 5800 headphones and mic although the mic isn't as sensitive enough so callers cant hear me as loud as they would like to.
Would generic ones work with this phone?
I'm just trying the phone with my Sennheiser HD 650,
to my surprise they rock, though are 300ohm headphones,
Galaxy s deserve some respect in HP amplifie area..

Good morning/afternoon/evening,
I am looking for a set of headphones as I am going on a long plane flight next weekend, now I need these to be in a store cause they probably won't get to me by when I leave Friday so please don't suggest amazon.
I am looking for the following specifications to work with my fascinate:
- In ear head phones
- Volume up/down button on head phones (that work)
- Microphone so I can be on a phone call with them in (I will pay extra for these)
-Noise canceling (not mandatory but highly preferred)
I have been looking at these Beats by Dr. Dre - Diddy Beats (Can't link as I don't have eight posts yet) as a possible solution but I just do not know if they are fully functional with the fascinate and I don't want to spend $100 for a set of headphones that will only be partially noise canceling and not get any of the other features. So does anyone know if these headphones can adjust volume and I can talk on them on a fascinate as an Iphone would or is there another pair that does this?
All input is greatly appreciated!
Thank you
May I suggest anything by Sennheiser?
They're known for good quality headphones overall.
Im pretty sure the ibeats with mic aren't compatable to use with mic. I use a$ 80 pair of klipsch s4 headphones. They are excellent. Google and check out some reviews. Although they have no volume control. Good luck.

Klipsch makes an S4i that has volume control and a mic. I just bought some sennheiser MX680's for the gym and they were terrible. I exchanged them for some sennheiser CX300 ii's, much better quality buds. I bit bassy, but good.
If the CX300's didn't work out i was going to go with the klipsch S4's, they are a bit more but from what i've heard they are worth it, and a very very high quality bud.
The s4i's do not control volume on the Fascinate.
The S4s are excellent headphones for the money and mine are still in one piece after a year of heavy use, but I can't comment on if the S4i controls the volume
I have the in ear beats and if u use the right ear piece (comes with like 5) then it cancels well idk if volume up down works with our phone

Hi,
I started workin out and biking quite a bit recently and I want to purchase some earphones for my DHD. Can anyone recommend a nice set with a remote?
Thanks!
Just because I had some anyway I really like the Sony Ericsson headsets. Great sound, some have the music controls, most have a mic and can be picked up quite cheap.
The SE stereo bluetooth headsets work well too. The only issue is that song info may not be available if you go for a headset with display.
thanks for the reply. But do all the controls and mic work on the DHD?
Like these for example?

Have massive Turtle beach xbox 360 headset with noise cancellation I use in the gym. to filter out all the garbage brainwashing illuminati music.
Just to let you know, it's not worthit buying any expensive set for them... DHD has *crap* audio output even from the stereo jack output...
I don't say this because I like it either

So true... One of the reason I'm very interested in the Sensation with it's "Hi-Fi audio"
I have the AH-C560R from Denon, the remote is useless (not working even on Gingerbread which was suppose to fix that...), the sound quality is really bad for me due to the DHD audio output (this thing is a joke, really !!!)
If you have experience in soldering you can do it like me:
1. take an old SonyEricsson Headset with the good inEar Phones (W810i)
2. take the stock Headset from the DHD
3. Open the 3 buttons on den DHD headset with a flat screwdriver or your fingernails
4. Desolder the old phones and remove they
5. cutt off the 3.5mm Phonejack from the SE Phones
6. solder the SE Phones to the DHD remote
7. fix all with a few drops of hot glue
8. putt the buttons back on the remote
Enjoy a new soundexperience

You seriously think it has a crappy audio output? I mean i agree on the speaker part but the headphone jack isn't bad by a long shot. Atleast not compared to my previous two phones (Xperia X1, HTC Hero).
On-Topic:
I am using the sennheiser cx 400 II, these work awesome however no headset control. It get's bothersome when riding my bike but i just cant manage to find a good pair without paying to much.
am using SONY MDR-XB40EX, good sound and bass but no remote...
What about the jabra rhythm headphones ? They tell they are compatible with dhd and they have mic, call/play/pause and skip tracks buttons ! Exactly like the stocks one. They cost 30$ on ebay !

Bluetooth
i dont know but the corded headsets, not a fan as they tangle and get in the way.
but i got Sony MW600 bluetooth headset, and its great, got 12hr music time, volume controls, pause play skip back and forward and answer hangup controls. also its got a buit in fm radio transmitter, and they have a great in ear buds in 3 diferent sizes also u can actually connect any 3.5mm headphones into it
maybe worth checking out
I use westone 3 in ear headphones, they don't have a mic but whenever someone calls me i just bring my phone closer to my mouth lol
I don't think the sound from the Desire HD through headphones is that bad, it's probably on a par with my old Nokia N96. Still, if you're into high quality audio you shouldn't really be using a mobile phone for your music!
the westone's retail for about £250 UK
R u sure the sony m600 have fm transmitter? Cos I looked all over the net and all it says that it got fm radio receiver, not transmitter

Got myself Phonak Audeo PFE 112s recently for just under 100GBP, must say the audio output on DHD is not that bad, it's not as good as an iPod touch but still really decent, especially if you use an equaliser such as powerAMP player.
But anyway would recommend the Phonak's to everyone, really good sound quality and they come with a mic and a single button that works with my DHD.
Having gone through quite a bit of experimentation on this, this is the optimal setup for me...
Sony Ericsson MW600 the three remote buttons all work well, but don't use the heat set provided, go for the...
Klipsch Image S4, very good, comfortable in the ear, though not noise canceling they do cut out a lot of external noise.
Finally PowerAmp, you won't get a better music player for the DHD that accommodates Bluetooth Stereo. Has it's only Equaliser and if you use the headset wired direct to the phone it will also allow you to use the Dolby and SRS effects for your DHD.

Agreed, I originally had a pair of Sennie CX300 II but I snapped the cable when it got caught on a door handle and thus ruined the headphones so I've gone and replaced them with a pair of CX500. Whilst they don't have a remote I think they offer the best sound quality, and best noise cancellation, for the price you pay.
Have searched and searched but cant find any good in-ear earphones with mic for HTC Sensation.. (had tried Nokias but it doesnt work so i guess all of them dont work) Anyone know any that are working?

The middle button will work fine. Not sure about the mic. I know that the volume won't work.
Try http://www.sennheiserusa.com/headphones . I have CX500 for 2 years already and i`m happy with it.
I occasionally use the Sony Ericsson MW600 if you are looking for a wireless alternative. The tracks do not read on the unit itself (it's a SE thing) but the buttons work. Added bonus is that the MW600 has a built in FM radio in it so you can use it that way as well. And for that FM feature, the display does work. I have used this with my Nexus One and now my Sensation from time to time.
Im waiting for the Klipsch S4a's to come out also, emailed them and they said they shall be available towards the end of this month to order in the UK.
Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket
They sound and look amazing IMO and are ok priced at 25£
Jays a-Jays Four
Arctic Sound E361 In-Ear Headphones with Mic
Just purchased a pair of the Etymotic HF2's.
Excellent bit of kit. Don't listen to the people who say theres no bass. My head shakes with the bass Most people think there is less bass because these earphones are so clean. Cleaner bass, less distortion (Some people mistake this distortion for their thumping bass)
You do need to bed them in a little. I've only used them for about 10 hrs and can already hear the improvement. To be fair the medium flanged plugs fitted my ears perfectly and isolated the sound pretty well(Other people aren't so lucky). They do disappear into my ears about 2cm into my ears but for me they are pretty comforable!
I had a pair of the Shure SE210's (No Mic) and I thought these were pretty good, they are definitely not as good as the Etymotics
Haven't tested the mic much but appears to work pretty well so far.
There is just one button on these. One click for pause/play, two for next track, three for previous track. Works pretty well in my opinion
Would highly recommend!!
I picked up a pair of Klipsch S4As
They're pretty nice. Though not as nice as my UE Triple Fi 10s 8)

I got the beats ones with the phone...
I'm a bit of an audiophile, so I didn't have high hopes; considering the whole beats thing is a bit of a fad. Was going to stick to my shure ones, drawback... Lack of remote.
However,I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the beats ones, and the remote/mic is a bit of a God send.
Only drawback, no volume control on em. Also, the hideous red cable. But the in ears are comfortable. So I'll be trying them for day to day, and using my shure for checking recordings (musician, you see)
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE Z715e
I am using a pair of AKG K340 in-ear headphones with mic and music control. The audio quality is really brilliant but they aren't great in staying in your ear, a little heavy I guess
Beat earphones are for rap and rnb fans but for rock and trance...
Anyway any earphones + mic for iphone will work on sensation?
I picked up a pair of S4As, It's pretty good, you can also customize what each button press does.
Guys, maybe that's a stupid question, so please don't laugh too hard
Since the Razer Moray uses an adapter to convert the two 3,5mm jacks into one 3,5mm jack to fit into the phone, is it universally possible to do this?
e.g. buy the Sennheiser PC 300 G4me and then hook it up with something like this?
Will the phone be able to use the microphone? Of course, there would be no way to take a call by pressing a button...
Can anyone let me know which headsets work with the Nexus 4? I have a few sets from a nokia and htch but each give me a different problem.
Either the microphone on the lead does not work or the volume is quiet coming out of the headphones.
So if anyone has a good experience with a specific set please let me know.
Requirements:
Microphone on lead
Good sound quality in both directions.

I use Klipsch S4(II) in-ear headphones, specifically their Android variant. Mic just has the one button (seeing as Android doesn't seem to support 3 button mics).
Sound quality from ear phones is great, same for the mic, I regularly use it for calls.
I've had problems where other mics on earphones wouldn't work properly with my N4, mainly that I'd sound very quiet/far away to the other person on the other end of the call. Something about low input gain from the mic. Haven't had that problem with these though. At least not as badly though. Look around there just now, seen it's still an issue with N5 apparently...

Your description is exactly what I have been facing. Looking at those headphones they are pretty expensive. I'll wait and see if anyone suggests something cheaper that will work also.
Otherwise I'll take a look at the klipsch. Thanks for the tip!

How's the sound quality, compared to other, more expensive, well known brands?
A lot of Philips headphones work. Apple, Sony (when it was Ericsson, don't know about now), nokia and some other brands I don't know use other wiring for their headphone jack. 3 rings on the pin, every pin has an other use
