HTC apparently is no longer replacing headphones. I've had a ticket in with them for a solid week now with absolutely no updates from HTC.
Does anyone know where to get headphones with next/play/prev buttons and a mic?
I can find plenty with JUST play/pause, but pretty much NONE with prev/play/next and microphone!
It seems the Desire uses the same headphones, so I thought maybe I could find those, but they pretty much do not exist online. Going nuts here! I use these things every day, it's such a bummer. I'm using my old ipod headphones now but the sound quality is utter garbage and theres no play controls.
Have you tried calling them? I just called them this afternoon and told them my battery was going bad and that i "misplaced" my earphones. After a few minutes of chat chtting, they're sending me a replacement battery and earphones.
I've talked to them three times now, they just keep saying it should be happening and they don't know why it's not. They never give me a tracking number or anything. It's like stuck in limbo.
It doesn't even matter. I don't care if they are free or even if they are HTC... it's the functionality I'm after!!
whats wrong with them?
Mine actually doesn't work, the buttons don't respond, and the mic doesn't work either..
is this an issue that was going around?
My buttons don't work and the left ear piece quit as well. Only a couple months use!
I lost mine last week, I called them and they sent me a replacement, they arrived in 72 hours.
W.T.F. sigh. Why is it I always have to spend at least 10 hours to get anything done over a phone support line.
Bose Mobile In-Ear Headset. Best sound quality and comes with microphone, play/pause, and I think a double click goes to next song.
Expensive but worth it. Google it or search Bose online.

If you looking to buy a expensive pair, then these are the best Etymotic HF2 High Fidelity Headphones.
The problem is I want high quality but I also want earbud because I need to be able to pause and talk to people without taking them out of my ears. I know earbud and quality don't go together, but the HTC earbuds that came with the phone are honestly some of the best earbuds I've ever heard. Far and away better than the garbage buds that comes with Apple's electronics, and better than most aftermarket ear buds too.
Buy this one, and put normal headphones in this one.

or this
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.35002
.....and free shipping.
I personally think the stock headphones with the Android characters look a little silly, which is why I never opened my headphones when I got my N1. But that's just a personal preference. If it were me, I'd get and use something else other than the stock headphones.
finally found them. http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=192376 these should be the same ones that shipped, but without the android logo on the side. instead they say "HTC Innovation".
Nevermind, they aren't the same. They are precisely alike except the next/prev buttons do not work. Thanks for making all of your identical **** work together, HTC.

The sku.33718 do not work on my Nexus One. Just got one. The cable is somewhat on the thick side and the control panel is also big. Either they don't work or my phone is defective.
My stock headphones are not able to pause/play or answer calls. This happen about a month ago.
I think I'm going to try and get HTC to send me new stock headphones. If the replacements don't work, then the problem is with my phone...either software or hardware related.
Also the MW600 is pretty much out of stock in the USA. I'm thinking of importing as it is very important to me to be able to stop/start/play/answer my phone without taking it out of my pocket.
I've been having the same problems. None of my buttons work, the left earbud's quit on me, and they keep shocking me. HTC won't respond to a support request (I got this replacement back in February.), and I've tried calling them about it.
Cant' find OEM's online either, anyone had luck since?
I don't know if you ever got this resolved, but I actually had lost my headset that i had with my N1 and when I called they had no problem helping me and sent me a new pair within four days at no cost to me. I'm very happy with them. This took place around the 25th of April and I received them about the 29th or 30th.
htc replaced mine.
I called today to replace mine. They actually and I quote said.. " I'm surprised they lasted u this long".. they replace no charge for shipping or anything..

Totally worth it if you want something that doesn't sound like total **** (read: the stock headphones).
Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys use a bluetooth stereo headset for your G2's because I've been looking for a certain kind. I'm looking for one that is wireless(duh) and it connected by the buds with a wire that's small and similar to the one that came with our phones. So pretty much our stock headphones, just without the cord connecting to the phone. I saw one the other day on a website but I can't find it at all.
Thanks for your time

I have had great success with Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 and they can be had fairly cheaply. While mine are 1+ years old, Plantronics offers an updated BackBeat 903+. Altec Lansing is owned by Plantronics or vice versa.

I second that recommendation. Those are great headphones especially for working out. If you don't really need bluetooth I've gone to the zagg smartbuds after getting tired of charging my backbeats and my phone from constant Bluetooth use. These just stay around my neck all day and offer everything the backbeats do, just not wireless and better sound quality.
I'm waiting on Bluetooth 3.0 to really make Bluetooth headphones really take off, with better performance overall (sound quality, outdoor performance, and 3.0 is a higher number than 2.1 duh). Have trouble at times outdoors (nothing to bounce off of). So my recommendation is the backbeats or the Cardozo s2's I believe if you aren't married to that form factor.

I actually use a Sony Bluetooth unit that has a standard 1/8" jack and plug my Shure's into that. The little controllers are hard to find now as everyone seems to want to bundle their earphones in with them.

I just found this and it looks really nice, not so sure about the clip though, but I can adapt. It meets the requirements I was looking for. The bluetooth is actually in the small device and the headphones are interchangeable with any one with a 3.5mm jack. I hope that it would come with its own set of headphones because they look really short and that's what I'm looking for. I don't want the hassle of having to untangle headphones after every usage, so I think this might be what I'm looking for. Has anybody else tried this before? I also wonder if it's completely compatible with Android.

These are the MW600 that Wolek76 is talking about in his post above. They are known to work with the Desire Z though some functionality like trackId is not working. I should be getting these for my Desire Z today/tomorrow.
I have been to frys electronics and best buy, and have bought every single one they offer at least once.
Ive tryed at least 20+ and every single one cuts off very often if I am jogging and the phone is in my side pocket.
If anyone has any suggestions be my guest and lmk please haha. Maybe something that makes you hold your phone higher or closer to your ears so the bluetooth connection doesnt break so often.

Yes these are the MW600 which wolek76 recommends, and so do I. Been using them with my Nexus One and now Galaxy S, and love them. The ear buds are very comfortable and have great sound quality, and if you still dont like em you can use any 3.5mm headphones with the unit. You can save 3 devices to use the Bluetooth with (either phone OR your BT-enabled laptop), and switch between them with press of a button. Good battery life and and the controls work with alternative Android music applications like Poweramp as well as Google Listen.
The unit did get stuck on me 3-4 times during my 6-7 months of use, by stuck I mean nothing works and you have to wait till the battery drains and it shuts itself off lol. Its ridiculous that this thing doesnt have a Reset button.
Highly recommend this headset, and cant wait to start using it with my G2 when it arrives next week.

Another happy MW600 user
Hi all,
Just wanted to second wolek76's recommendation for the MW600. I've been using them with my Desire Z.
The performance of the bluetooth headset is excellent - especially you you replace the supplied earphones with your own favourites (Denon AH-751s for me )
Only downsides:
No contact name on display (though the callers phone number is displayed)
No track name on display
Other than that they are excellent.
Cheers
Ash

Have you guys used the headphones that came with the bluetooth set? Is the quality of it good, or does it not come with short corded headphones?
Merry xmass everyone
Yes, these come with in-ear buds with three different rubber sizes. Headphones themselves are on a short lead and asymmetric (so that the cable for one ear is shorter, and the other one goes behind the neck)
As someone mentioned earlier, these are removable, so you can use any earfones u wish.
Quality of sound is fine for me, although I'm no expert on that matter....

How would you say the headphones that come with the mw600 compare to the one that comes with the desire z? Better?
Definately better!!!
Original htc ones dont stay in my ears whatsoever. Maybe I got weird ears but never managed to to get any htc earphones make stay in my ears (s740, touchpro2, DZ).
the SE ones actually go 'into' your ear blocking any external noise. Im very happy with that solution, but I know it isnt to everybodys taste/preference.
btw. I got MW600 for my sister...
she's got SE X10 and wanted a FM radio....
will check if these work any better with Android on SE fone (track ID, caller ID)
merry x-mass
Well, even though mw600 and X10 are made by same manufacturer, there is still no caller ID, and no track ID.
This must be definitely android issue then.
Just hope that ginger update with its new 'BlueZ' will help, when it finally lands in our Desires...
Fingers crossed

Anyone know of any high quality bluetooth headphones with a mic? They would have to be the in ear kind. I'm willing to spend up to 200. I've been searching around and their really aren't that many to choose from. I work in security and most of the time I'm baby sitting empty buildings so they would have to be descret enough not to be noticed on the camera's if anyone choose to review them. Taking all suggestions. Bluetooth is kinda my last resort.. I really don't want to part with my CM7. Lol

Yeah, I've read a lot of good things about those. I also had the Moto s9's Hd and not. Hd's were much better but still sucked. SOOO MUCH STATIC. whenever the music would go down or change songs I would hate myself because it sounded terrible. I convinced myself that I needed them because I felt like my wire got stuck everywhere. Anyway, long story short got myself these. Never looked back. The only problem I forsee is they are sound proof.

The i's pause button will work.. play sometimes. It will work with the last music player app you add.. it's weird. I know. If you have any questions pm me.
Edit: Both of my motorola's broke in one way or another. One the speaker ripped out because I dropped it, and the other.. just stopped working? Idk.. I had to send it in for something and they sent me a new one... the HD set.

OK, so I'm watching a movie -through Infuse- via the HDMI port and I'm receiving a call (on Infuse)
Would I be able to take the call and leave the rest of the family enjoying the movie?
I'm asking this because in theory Android can/could drive two different sound (one through HDMI, another through my bluetooth headset/handsfree for calls), but is this possible IN PRACTICE?
Has anyone tried that?
I'm sorry for the question, but I do not own a BT headset and depending on the answer to the above I will decide on buying it/that. I have no qualms installing custom roms if need be...

bluetooth headphones
I have the jaybird JP3MB bluetooth headphones. I think they are superb. I can tell you when listening to music taking a call will pause the music and it resumes upon hangup. I would think movies might do the same thing.
Not In-ear but over the ear...
I have the Arctic P311 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, paid $34 for them locally (via Amazon). They sound great flat and even better with some EQ. I would like to see/hear the difference between them and these other seemingly overpriced Bluetooth headphones.
I was going to purchase the Nokia BT headphones but saw these and at $34 what risk is there???
Not disappointed at all!
Sure they might not sound as great as ones plugged directly into the phone, but they don't sound bad at all and more than acceptable especially with all the stuff I've heard about Bluetooth SQ.
I originally bought these for my Pantech Link which has no phone output. You can buy a special connector that goes into where you make the connection to charge the phone and for data connection as well.
I highly recommend the Plantronics Backbeat 903+. I've had them for a few months, and use them whenever working out. The call/mic quality is pretty good, as is the music/speaker quality. My only complaint would be that it's a little flat on the bass end; other than that, I really like them.
My friend tried them out once, and bought a pair the same day. His, however, stopped working after a couple runs on the treadmill. He thinks it's because he sweats a lot and they got wet. Plantronics replaced them free of charge and he never had the same issue again.
There are actually a newer version of them out now, called the Backbeat Go. I haven't tried them, so I have no idea how they sound or feel. They seem like they'd be more comfortable to wear, especially when running or working out.
i can vouch for the first reply; i got a pair of jaybird jf3's and they work amazingly well. pricey, but worth it

I'm getting tired of going through headsets like crazy. I was buying some cheap ones on ebay for $7 that would last me about a month, so I decided to spend the extra $ and get some M6p's. I'm on my 3rd replacement set.. They have lasted me around 30 days. I just received my most recent replacements yesterday. Upon my first use this morning, the skip/play/pause button stuck in.. If I just wiggle the wire, it skips/pauses/plays. Now I'm going for a 4th set, and I'm sick of this...
Can anyone recommend an over the ear w/ inline mic with play/pause/skip?

I can't recommend an over-the-ear pair over earbuds, but I can recommend the LG HBS-700 Bluetooth Headset...
I've had it since the beginning of December 2011, and it still works great. Sound quality is surprisingly good, and all the controls work... It has separate volume control, so these things get LOUD. and the neck piece vibrates whenever you get a call, and it is very much sweat resistant. I do some crazy workouts with these earbuds, and they are still working fine. The battery lasts a long time too, I charge it like once every two weeks.
Don't buy his headphones ^^ , they are LG haha I'm jk but u should try the zagg smartbudds for working out. They are amazing and durable. Had them for 4 months now and if u look online for discount codes. U can get em for 25$ instead of 50

Thanks for the other suggestions guys.. Meelec is sending the 4th pair now and gave me a $25 gift certificate to their store. Great service, just crappy buds.

I'm getting tired of going through headsets like crazy. I was buying some cheap ones on ebay for $7 that would last me about a month, so I decided to spend the extra $ and get some M6p's. I'm on my 3rd replacement set.. They have lasted me around 30 days. I just received my most recent replacements yesterday. Upon my first use this morning, the skip/play/pause button stuck in.. If I just wiggle the wire, it skips/pauses/plays. Now I'm going for a 4th set, and I'm sick of this...
Can anyone recommend an over the ear w/ inline mic with play/pause/skip?

I have a pair of Altec Lansing back beat pros, and I use them at the gym, they always used to fallout until I bought some comply foam ear tips. If you already have a pair of decent ear buds check out complyfoam.com, they create such a good seal that they never fallout anymore.

I'm looking for the best Bluetooth headphones and the best Bluetooth keyboard. I already know the headphones will be pricey but I'm willing to spend the extra amount if it's worth it lol
Gotta have the best for my Nexus
Not what asked for but jambox is great!

I am also quite interested in hearing recommendations for a good (Consumer-grade good heh) set of BT stereo headphones, and to jdcnosse The only set that i've found recently that looked interesting was the s-11 HD, Motorola though it's not over the ears and I hate the form factor, but it seems they finally decided to innovate on Bluetooth audio quality..

Well I did a quick look at Best Buy just to see what exactly is out there (never would pay their prices though haha) and yeah I noticed there was one Motorola pair. There was also another pair that looked fairly decent...
Found this: http://androidforums.com/android-accessories/39386-best-bluetooth-headphones-earbuds.html
Even though it's a tad old lol
I am going to connect it to my Parrot Minikit Neo bt speakerphone in my truck, then maybe try the Sony Ericsson MW600 and also the HTC Stereoclip, Also connect it to my N7 to see what it can do tether-wise. Oh forgot to see how it works with the torque app to read my odbII bt dongle and also my work phone which should connect via bt on my jabra pro headset.
Best Bluetooth headphones in my opinion are the Motorola s11 flex HD I just purchased. They sound great even with the garbage sound problems introduced in 4.2 and fit very well. They are sweat proof, have about 6 hours of playback, 150 for range and fast charging technology. 20 mins to a full charge and 5 mins for an hour. They pair very easily to my n10 and n4 as well. They aren't cheap though... run about $130. Well worth it as my last Motorola set lasted me 4 years, hundreds of hours running and washing the car, and a half marathon.

I have bluetooth headphones and will never be able to go back to corded. It's so awesome to be in my chair at work and be able to turn from one computer to another without the cord getting tangled etc
I've had several pairs:
My first pair: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Headset-Microphone/dp/B002BH3I9U/
They were cheap and I wanted to see if I could get by with bluetooth. They have a built in batter and use the same micro usb to charge so that was really convenient. Relatively comfortable and decent sound quality for the price. Battery life is so-so, and you cannot charge and listen to them at the same time
My current pair: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-WP-300-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B004D4R9VC
Really good sound quality, especially the bass. Great battery life (I plug them in every couple days when I leave work). My only gripe is that they are On-Ear rather than circumaural. They can get a little uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time (2+ hours) The other issue is that unlike the two I discuss below, there is no 3.55 jack for you to plug in in case the battery dies. I've never had an issue with this, but it's something to keep in mind. They also support Apt-X, which I don't think the N4 does
I am looking to upgrade, and the two I'm looking at are:
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-500-X-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0076NDV0U
and
http://www.amazon.com/Parrot-Zik-Touch-Activated-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0081TH24O
The Parrot has NFC which should make pairing them a breeze. Their sound quality is supposed to be excellent, and they are supposed to be overall awesome headphones. The main complaint I've seen in my research is that battery life is not quite up to par.
The Sennheiser are supposed to have superb sound quality as well, and generally have at least as good of features as the Parrot, though the sound quality supposedly takes a hit with Active Noise Canceling enabled. I don't really use noise canceling so I'm not sure how much I care (there is also the Sennheiser 500-X which don't offer it at all and are cheaper)
Engadget has a pretty solid review of the Parrot, and that's what I'm leaning towards right now, since I leave them at work I can just charge them every night so I don't think the battery life will be an issue for me.
Hopefully this helps!

Speaking of jambox...If you ever get interested in a bluetooth speaker...I have a jabra solemate and it's pretty awesome! It's a little larger than the jambox though but the volume and bass output is high enough for enjoyable outdoor use. Battery life has been extremely good. I got mine for $150.
I have the back beat 903+ from plantronics. Great warranty too. When they send you a replacement it starts a new 1 year warranty instead of continuing on the original. Have some issues staying connected if jogging from pocket but not in an armband or if you are just walking.

Oh btw, if you're going to be using bluetooth with wifi, you might wanna see if your wifi runs on 5ghz. I'm having a little trouble with my 2.4ghz wifi occasionally cutting out when bluetooth is engaged due to both transmitting on the same frequency.
Unfortunately, I can't switch to 5ghz because that frequency is dedicated to streaming wireless HD video and interactive guide to my TVs.
Bluebuds X
Personally, I'm gonna buy those.
