I have seen a few posts where people say they are using their own headphones with the HTC touch diamond. I have a great set of Bose headphones I bought a while ago. What do I need to buy to be able to use these with the phone, just to listen to my MP3's not the radio obviously.
Thanks,
Roy.
You can buy the RC E100 or a ExtUSB to 3.5mm adapter.
I'm using the RC E100 - it's really good. Although, the cable is very long and then add your headphone length to that and you end up with a VERY long cable.
So I cut mine, resoldered the wires, and then used heat shrink to make it all look nice. Happy camper now.
It took hours and did my head in though.
Thanks the RC E100 sounds good, I checked it out on EBay but they are only shipping from Hong Kong (I'm UK) and I dont fancy that. Where abouts did you pick yours up?

Do you use it on the diamond? Is it working properly (music controls especially)? I'm asking, because it's not listed as compatible accessory on htc.com.
I use it, i bought it from Expansys for about £23 with a £10 off voucher. Just buy one of the Kaiser or Touch ones, theyre all the same item just under a different name on the website.
It works fine, i have some sony earphones that are meant ot be used with a remote so they have a really short lead so they work great with this. You can just leave your diamond in your pocket in standby and listen to music using the controls on the remote.

LOL I have some Sony's that I had to cut and resolder, otherwise they whole thing was way too long. I ended up shortening the cable on the RC E100 too. That was difficult!
I'm very happy with the purchase though and using that plus some good headphones makes the diamond sound really good.
hi guys, i have a question about the rc e100 remote. if you are listening to music with it and the diamond is asleep (ie. screen is off). does adjusting the volume or changing tracks or whatever wake the screen up? for me this will be decider whether i get one or not.

Im glad to tell you no it does not wake the screen up. It acts like a perfect MP3 player, if you turn off the screen and then push buttons on the remote the device will look like nothing happened and the sceen will stay off while still respoding to button pushes.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. exactly what i was hoping to hear. thanks m8.
My RC E100 remote arrived couple days ago and I'm using it with my nice Bose earphones. Have to say it works a treat, once I sorted out the bug with the Audio Booster, well just turned the dam thing off. "MAKE SURE YOU DON'T USE THE AUDIO BOOSTER" it's **** but i'm sure you knew that anyways.
I'm going to shorten the cable on the actual remote, plan to do that tomorrow (should be interesting!).
The only other things I'd like to do is maybe install that SRS WOW program, maybe then I can mess around with the music settings, but I've read this isn't working yet with the Diamond, anyone know another music equalizer I can install?
Oh and lastly I spent ages putting what music I wanted onto the internal memory of the phone. Making sure all the tracks we're under the correct artist and album etc. Problem is even tho through the phones explorer shows them as they should be, when looking through windows media player library only a handfull of the tracks are sorted into correct folders. I'e most of the tracks are just under "unknown" this is fairly useless as how am i meant to search for an album by a certain artist? Why aren't they all set-up the way they are in explorer mode? This is frustrating as it means 80% of my music is simply stored under unkonwn artist and then track name!
Anyone come across this on their hanset and knows a way around it?
Thanks guys, Roy.
speaking of mp3 playback, has anyone noticed that every 5 to 10 minutes or so, sound will skip or pause just for a split second. for me this happens on both the audio manager and on CorePlayer. it has also happened with the stock ROM my phone came with (1.34) and the current cooked ROM i am using. would appreciate it if someone knows a solution to this problem, i hope it's not because of the AudioBooster. as the Diamonds volume output is pissweak without it.
oh and Roy, i think the bug with audio booster, where there is a complete lack of bass and sound is all tinny like. was solved in 1.93 ROM.

Hi, can't say I've noticed the skipping part. But maybe I haven't listened to anything long enough, i'll keep my ears open.
Basically yeah to fix the audio booster thing which I had originally turned on while listening to the radio. All I did which I read on here was to turn on mp3 player and start listening. Goto audio booster and turn it off, then on and then off again and save. This as I know it disables the bug from the audio booster and it now sounds ace. Woule like to install a proper music equalizer if I can find one.
I hear all this stuff and have seen loads of threads about it but what actually is upgrading my ROM? Why would I want to change it? I have installed various Diamond Tweaks and Advance Configs etc to speed up performance and mess about with a few settings to suit my tastes.
Why would i want to install a new ROM?
Roy.

Yep it seems to be finally fixed. Now it is a proper (and pretty darn good!) mp3 player.

I only tried my Apple inear buds for music/podcast and unlike with the Samsung SGS, it worked just fine. Mind you, didn't try for actual calls tho. What doesn't work with it?

Darn. I found out that the sony MDR-EX38iP are only partially compatible. Not sure about it's mic, but the volume controls don't seem to do anything.
I'll be testing Wal-Mart's no hassle return policy in the morning.
I'm having some trouble finding a hands free solution that's got music, and volume controls, a mic and stereo in earbuds. Anybody know of such an animal?
There's two other's that I've yet to try: the Skullcandy Titan headset, and the one's from JVC with the marshmallow earbuds.
The headset earphones that came with my DZ are better than the ones that came with my Dream, at least they stay in my ears, but I sure miss having volume controls as part of the remote.
walmart took them back, plus i tried and returned the scosche tapline headset because it didn't work either. well, at least the volume controls didn't work.
Has anyone got the SonyEricsson MH-810 Stereo Headset for Xperia? these might work since they're made for the android platform, not iOS.
Might be an app
I had trouble getting a headset with a mic to work at first. I thought the jack might be defective, but regular earbuds worked. I also noticed that it detected if I had a headset with or without a microphone. (the icon on top would change)
Then my husband told me he saw on some forum, that there's a known problem with headphones with a mics, if you have another music app installed other then the native one.
I had previously installed Winamp, so I uninstalled it and now both the HTC & the Apple headset with mic work fine.
Might be worth it to give it a try, if you have a another music player installed.

so @Milady_Odessa, with your apple headset, you can:
*answer & initiate calls
*change volume up and down
can you be more specific regarding which apple headset you are using, or possibly a picture?
Sorry I should have specified, it's the regular earbud/mic combo that came with the iPhone. It essentially does the same thing as the headset that came with my Z phone.
It can answer & adjust volume, turn on your media player. It can't initiate calls, but it can dial/call back the last number that called you by double-clicking on the middle button.

Thanks for elaborating, and the picture! hmmm, still not idea.
I would like to have the same functionality I have with the headset that I got for my Dream.
I thinking of getting a set of sony ericsson mh810 off ebay for about thirty dollars, but I would like to confirm that that the voice dialer / search feature works first.

What about the volume control at the point where the cord splits?

I bought the HTC HS U350. This allows you to plug in your own earphones in to the mic piece. So far it works great but i do miss having controls for skipping music and also volume. I guess it will do until i find something better
I have the G2 with the Desire Z ROM and the iPhone headset that came with my 2G iPhone and the replacement one I bought about a year after are both working. After plugging them in I see a headset icon, and I tested using the Voice Recorder app and on a phone call, mic was working fine. As far as I know nothing was touched on the ROM from the shipped other than pre-rooted things like busybox, superuser, etc.
I've just tested Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headset which is designed to work specially with iPhone - music sounds good, stop-play button works (with 1 second lag though), calls are good as well - mic works fine, you can answer and stop the call by pressing the button on the remote.
I tested with Desire Z and Desire.
I was hoping to get Klipsch S4i to use as headset, hopefully they will work with Desire Z

Hi all
Anyone thought of using Sony mw600?
I only had this little marvel for 3 days (fone only 10 days) and I dare say it works beautiful.
It takes/makes calls without a glitch. It even displays the callers number ( didn't manage to make it display contact name yet, though)
Also it controls nicely my poweramp app, does prev/next, play/pause, and volume. It's got in ear detachable headphones, and it uses same microusb interface for charging as our lovely phones
All of this for around £30 of eBay!
It's not bad, is it?

Today I happen to know that Nexus s supports 3-button headset while I was reading the kernel source code of Nexus. And I also found MEDIA_NEXT/MEDIA_PREVIOUS keys in keylayout.
I don't have a 3-button headphone now, but I'm very interested in whether the keys on 3-button iphone compatible headsets actually works with Nexus S and whether I have to use some particular music player to benefit from these keys.
Have anyone tried 3-button headset with Nexus S? How does it work?
Thanks,

Yes I've used the HTC headset that comes with the Desire and it works (but doesn't anywhere near as good). The controller pauses/plays, skips forward and back. I haven't tested it, but I suppose it would work fine for answering calls too.
I don't know if iPhone headsets work although they should, and I could try my daughter's iPod Touch headset tonight, if no one else replies before then.
i dont know about the iphone specific headset. but it will work with 3 button headset in general, it should use standard ff/rw/pause and mic line, etc.
Thanks, I just see so many 3-button earphones that advertise themselves as "iphone-compabible", so I am wondering if there's some Apple standard and non-apple setup.
I use the Bose MIE2 mobile phone headset. In line mic with button control, works great. Costs 145 bucks but sounds superb. Its specific for mobile phones, follows the standard. A near identical iPhone version exists.
the iphone headset will only answer calls and the mic works, the volume does not work.
as for HTC, I have posted this somewhere else, everything works, although the volume up/down button is replaced by previous/forward, but reversed (- being forward and + being previous), but you can pull the buttons off with little force and correct it.
please note, before anyone goes out and buy the HTC headset, the headset has no bass if you dont use the ear muffs, and only a little bass with them on.
kms
I can confirm what kms108 says about the Apple headphones. The call answer button also works as play/pause for media.
What about skip / rewind?
I know this has been asked elsewhere in these forums, but none of the threads have been active within the past few months.
Does anyone know if there are any headsets or control software that allows you to use your remote button to skip forward, or rewind backwards on the Nexus S?
On the N1, PowerAMP added the option for two clicks to skip forward, three clicks to rewind back by a track. However, my same headphones (Zagg Smartbuds, if it matters) no longer do so on my NS.
Does anyone have any insight as to how I might be able to get that functionality back? It's pretty important to me, and presumably many others on these here forums :]
if you read up a few post, you have your answer, or get a BT headset.
Whoops. My wording was terrible. I was looking mainly at iPhone compatible headsets. It's nice to know that the HTC remote controls work properly, but as I recall the stock earbuds that came with my N1 were godawful :]
For now, I remembered an app called Headset Button Controller which does pretty much exactly what it says. The only problem is that I'm having trouble getting my NS to recognize any kind of triple click. I can only do single, double, and long clicks. Luckily, I guess that's all I really need?

hI,
I just got a pair of these Motorola S10 HD, they are BT and work pretty good. they arent very loud but loud enough for me.
I did see this link, it is a program that brings the TF's volume up, it sounds like a very good program go get but you have to be rooted.

I am not rooted yet, but when I do (soon, probably tonight) I will try it and let you know if/when I do.
the s10's do work, and they work pretty far away too (I can go from one end of the house to the other), plus they have a mic, you can change volume, song, track, etc from the headset too.
Hope that helps

I am still using my Motorola S9 headphones. They work well for music listening OR headset/mic but not both at the same time. Do the new S10HD work better? I always just disable headset profile for mine so as to avoid issue, but would love to have all functions available. For example, if you connect to both headset and a2dp simultaneously and then use voice search it fails to initialize the headset mic and uses the internal mic on the tablet/phone. This was a known issue of the S9 so I am hoping you can test and inform if it is resolved.
Hi guys little issue here.... I have htc sensation running IC 3.30(great rom btw) and when I am playing music with my headphones on I can't use my controllers on the headset meaning(pause,play forward,reverse) any ideas
Thanks in advance
Did you tried it with power amp?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
This happened to me as well. However, I'm pretty sure the cause of the issue was because I used the headphones with the treadmill at the gym and the headphones got hot and shocked my ear. After that the controls stopped working since I think I shorted them out.
Did you use your headphones with anyone aside from the phone?
I think it has something to do with the new music player. I can pause and play but not change tracks. When I was on CM7 it worked fine
Thanks!!! Same here...I guess mine got shorted out too cause I use them when I work out.End up buying new pair. Thanks again
