hi, before anybody says use the search on the forums, id like to say i have and still cant find anybody recommending stereo headset for the touch diamond, i have read about the jabra headset as well the sony and the nokias but cannot make mind up, please can someone share some of your experiences with your touch diamond.
p.s i have ordered from expansys the htc bh s100 only to find out that they are the french version with limitations on volume and have been in the expansys forum reading complaints on the unit so thats going to get canceled,so any help is appriciated,
thank you

The Best headset I have found is a Motorola headset the "MOTOROKR™ S9" you can see the manufacturers website here --> http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/S9/
Great battery life, comfortable, good sound quality when streaming audio as well as when using as a hands-free headset (provided the surrounding environment is not too loud).
Not exactly cheap...but it's a rugged little unit and quite resistant to environmental hazards..like washing machines
I also use the s9 and i love it. Highly recommend
thanks for replying people, the s9 doesnt suit me, but ive narrowed it down to the sony ericsson 220 are they any good?
yes actually i had this with the Sony Ericsson w960i. There a really good headset i liked that you could plug any headphones into it but found the wires redundant.
I use the plantronics 855 (I think thats the number), got no complaints at all, good sound qulity, great battery life and pretty damm comfortable.
Hello guys,
apparently something happened to my earphones. I'm guessing my roomies messed with it and busted it. I can see that there's a hole in the right earphone now.
I'm in search of an earphone which is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S. Sure I can get loads of better ones off play/Amazon. but I wanted to get the one which is compatible with my phone.
can anyone suggest me some in-ear earphones with volume adjuster or perhaps link me to original one?
thanks.
Look here
There are few other threads discussing about headphone compatibility, do a search.
As I have said in the first thread, I'm using a Nokia AD-54 with my own pair of headphones. IMO thats the best way to get highest quality. Because you can connect any high quality 3.5mm headphone.
P.S: For me Samsung's bundled pair sounds pretty bad, any $30 aftermarket head/earphone will sound way better.
I did a search already, but I found few more questions instead of answers,
the thing that nothers me is the polarity (mic/spk/gnd/gnd) thing, I wonder how many headphones/earphones support that..
I dont want to invest into something that doesnt work with my phone..
do the following two work?

http://www.jbl.com/EN-GB/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=REF250BG&accT=1&tsT=0&ovT=1
I've found something for you (I expected it, to be true):
-Every normal Headphone does Work (without Heaset functionality, understandable)
-iPhone-compatible Headsets do not work on the Galaxy
Oh and in a Review about the Galaxy someone used several Headphones, all of them are working. For Example there were Sennheiser CX300.
thanks, i'll go on earphone hunting now, and will let you know how it goes.
cheers!
also these seem to be cheaper: http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=34645994#

Link to Sennheiser site is broken. I'm not sure about the other one either. Some say Sennheiser MM50 works, but I havent tried.
As for using a regular 3.5mm ear/headphone for music, everything works. I am using several different standard 3.5mm earphones and headphones, but remember, when you receive a call you have to disconnect the headphone to talk, built in mic disables as soon as you plug in the headphone. Its annoying, thats why I use the Nokia AD-54 adapter and a Bluetooth clip when walking outside.
urbanears
If you do a Google search for Urbanears, they do a range of headphones that will work as hands free with the SGS. I have some of the over the head ones and there pritty good. They come with a variaty of headphone jack addapters for diferent phones and have an inline mic.

I use these earphones and I can say that they are the best!! Great sound quality... Extreme bass clarity
Apologise for resurrecting this thread, but I want to confirm that the Nokia Adaptor provided with the Urbanears range of headsets do indeed work with the Samsung Galaxy S.
I ordered a pair of Medis, but when the headset first arrived the Nokia adaptor was faulty, I emailed them that the adaptor wasn't working, and they responded asking for my address so they could send out a free replacement (they did not ask for any kind of proof of purchase). When the new adaptor arrived, it worked like a charm, media button and mic became functional.
Yep, the urbanears nokia adaptor works perfectly

To operate the headphones you should turn off the microphone of the iPhone, because in the Galaxy S the pins are reversed.
A test when you insert the earphones, hold the microphone, you will hear the difference.!

Hey is it possible to get the adapter separately? I'm using the KVconnections one with my NuForce Ne-7m and the plug doesn't fit my cases (had to enlarge the holes in a couple already - don't want to have to do it with the rest).

That's not a hole dear. There is one upper layer of some kind of fabric thats been removed or got removed. Go to any samsung service senter they will replace it free of cost if in warranty your phone within three days.
Same happened with me but my left earphone of headphone wasn't working and this time they replaced it with the better one.. M njoying.

Urbanears don't appear to sell the nokia adaptor seperately, but you could always try emailing them.
I bought my Urbanears (black set of Medis) from a third-party site, but when I contacted Urbanears directly specifying that the adaptor that came with my Urbanears did not function, they simply asked for my address and sent a replacement adaptor out to me, they didn't verify that I actually owned a pair of their headphones. Theoretically, you could send them an email pretending to be someone with the same problem, though it would of course be harmful to their business if abused.
Just a quick question: i noticed, that if i am using the stock headset with an old ipod touch, i always have to press the button to get all the sound. Is there any way to avoid this?
Greetins,

Surely there are adaptors availably which are sold separately? I use a Sennheiser BT headset at the moment (MM200) but would like a pair of wired, good in-ear earphones so I have one less battery to worry about plus the sound quality is better. But the one thing I love about BT is the remote control buttons and there are very few options available for Samsung compatible wired earphones.
Can anyone recommend a good adaptor?
I bought myself a pair of samsung gtI9000 earphones from ebay for £4 :/.
works like a charm!

I've also found another set of adapters that might work: http://www.amazon.com/Native-Union-Adaptor-Blackberry-Phones/dp/B003NVM9HK, but given that the Medis is available for $USD50 I might just grab that and have a spare set of headphones.

Yes - use a rubber band to keep the button pressed
I use this adapter to make my NuForce NE-7Ms work with the SGS: http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm. In theory you should use this one since you're doing the reverse: http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r2m-r3f.htm, but they should be the same. As I said earlier, it works well but is bulky and doesn't fit my cases without modding
I can confirm two headsets working (tested) with I9000. The first one is Sennheiser MM-50 Nokia (the Nokia part is important, as they do also them for IPhone), second are the Stock Nokia's E52 ones.
After ripping my original headset I'had bought the Sennheiser's headset and must say I am quite pleased with them.
Cheers
So there is no headset with Nokia ad-54 functionality...
I mean there is no way to plug in my earphones and control calls/music... Exept of soldering iron... it's sad.
Re: Audio Technica's ATH-CK400iS
Hello guys, I have a Galaxy S i9000 purchased within the South East Asian region (from Singapore to be specific).
Having read through forum threads mostly around XDA, I've decided to get an iPhone handsfree kit with the Nokia converter cable.
The model that I used was called the ATH-CK400i made by Audio-Technica and it worked fine except for volume control (not much of a loss to me). It has since malfunctioned (I tend to be rough with the earbuds) and decided to get a new pair.
I have since noticed that in Japan, they have released the ATH-CK400iS which has been touted to be compatible with the Galaxy S.
(I don't mean to advertise for anyone or anything, if you want more information of what I was referring to, please click on the links)
http://www.yodobashi.com/ec/product/100000001001373330/index.html
http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/products/telacc/ath-ck400is.html
When I got it, I found that I am now unable to use the ATH-CK400iS' Call/Playback button and that the audio quality isn't good until I depress the button.
Does anyone know if the Galaxy S in Japan have different pole configurations for the 3.5mm jack?
This is really puzzling and seems like no one else in the forum has tried this.
Hi everyone
This is my very first post to XDA.
Hope my query comes through correctly and is of help to others as well.
Well, for the last couple of months I have been trying to figure out which bluetooth headset from Sony (SBH52 AND MW1) is better over the other in terms of-
1)Sound ie, after reading a lot I have known that the MW1 packs a Wolfson Dac but just could not figure out if it's the same or better on the SBH52?
2)Are the live Sound ear buds MH1A on the MW1 any better than the Mh755 in terms of the audio quality?
Is it possible that the Mh755 have been improved over the years?
This is because the whole SBH52 family of headsets have them instead of the live Sound ear buds.
3)And lastly the SBH52 being newer in comparison to the MW1 have any technical advantage in terms of the usability over the MW1.
And has anyone tried to couple the live Sound ear buds with the SBH52 and experienced the overall improvement or degradation in the sound?
Because I have the live Sound ear buds and would like to buy the SBH52 and use it with them.
I know a lot to ask but it'll really be a great help if you can help.
Thanks
Hi there,

Good luck
Hello dear people!
I am actually looking for how to use a smartphone (LG V30 in my case) as a music player only.
So I would want to have installed the 'best' sounding audiophile app and have everything else, everything not audio related removed from the phone.
Would you be able to point in the right direction? Or even have a step by step guide..?
I am 100% new to this matter, so I already got totally lost on this site when I searched before. I have no idea what everything means (every sentance has 3 or 4 words I dont understand..), so even when I would able to find the right thread, I don't understand at all what people are talking about.
I am an audiophile and I chose the LG V30 because it has 4 dac chips (digital to analog converter) and should have the capability to sound very, very good.
I would appreciate your or anybody else's help in this greatly.
Sound quality with music is my passion!
Sincerely looking forward to all clear and directional responses!
Gaston
In any case ... the best sounding audio player (having tested a lot of them - I also am an audiophile) is AIMP . I use it for my laptop and also for my smartphone. The Stereo separation on the V30 is not that great (tested in 2018) but maybe they improved that with software updates. I am looking to buy yet another pair of headphones - having bought JBL and JVC and Philips and Sennheiser + many more in the past. I have my eyes on Sony XB50AP (not taking any chances). May I ask what are you using? Thanks.
