Hi i wos wondering if there were any good earphone around with the ability to change track, volume and answer calls for the HTC one S?
I can't post links, but search for 'HTC RC E160 Music Stereo Headset Remote Control' - looks like exactly what you want, and HTC branded too

That earphone looks like my HTC Desire earphone, and to be quite frank I don't really like it. First of all the remote/mic was all the way down to my chest and secondly it doesn't stay on my ear that well.
I would recommend just getting any earphone with the remote/mic and download some earphone remote app from the market and configure it to skip tracks and pick up calls by pressing the remote button.
the headphones that come with the One S do all of this.
Plus if your One S is in the first 10,000 units you get beats headphones with it
I did According to argos (uk) they are worth £120 which is impressive considering they where free

That's for Vodafone UK only, right?
is it ? i dunno ? thats what my carrier said to me when they offered it me so maybe your right..
i just thought it was a genuine offer, cause the phone had just been released.
Vodafone ES (Spain) also gives urbeats earbuds to first 7500 buyers of HTC One S.
I am a proud owner of one of those awesome bits of tech!
i was thinking of getting some good sony or sennheiser ones as im using the phone as my mp3 player now. ... On the HTC accessories site they don't even have any headphones that they recommend for the device, you would presume they would be pushing dre earphones or something at least :/
will the sennheiser mm70i work with the One S? from what iv been reading everything but the volume control will work which is fine, does anyone have any experience of this?
I just bought these ones:
Audeo PFE 132
&
SoundMAGIC E10

Awesome.
What about them? Work fine? Sound good? Which one is better? Do all the controls work?
I find the supplied earbuds atrocius. I got mine in Germany, without contract, and the buds are worse than what I got with the DHD (or Sensation?). There is a little knob with a pushbutton that pauses/unpauses the music, and it might even be a handsfree mic and call accept button. To me this is utter garbage, and they don't even sound or fit well.
I would be interested in options that deliver maybe volume control (optional), next track, prev track and pause. And decent sound. Do I need to shell out for HTC "Beats" models? Or are the special features delivered by the "remote" on the cable standard and normalized between manufacturers by now?
Any good suggestions?
do the track skip / answer call / volume buttons work?
Pretty much any headphones with buttons will work fine with Android. To get the full range of controls you might want to install an app.
Jays Headset Control works a treat for me, and allows you to configure to what you would like - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol
As to which headphones to buy, that depends on your budget. Something from Ultimate Ears with the vi or vm on the end of the model name if it were my cash.
Nothing to do with me, but I found hifiheadphones.co.uk to be of help; good forum too.
ibeats
I'm using iBeats...working fine, with double twist and Google music. I did install Jays headset control.
Jays is awesome. Must install if you're stock because there's very little built-in support for one-button controls.
That said, I'm using a pair of id America Sparks right now. They sound wonderful, look great, have tons of color choices, and they have been going thorough a chain of price matches ($30ish) that have made it all the way to Amazon.
Just Google "id America Spark" Plenty of good reviews, and hit up Shopping to find where you can grab a pair.

Sadly, the US version didn't include this kind of offer. I definitely ordered one of the first 10,000 units. In fact, the US package doesn't even have cheap, crappy headphones in them, which I would normally use as a workout pair.

Hey all, my stock htc headset has broken (can' hear a thing from the left ear-bud) and am looking for a replacement.
I was wondering what everyone would recommend... I'm looking for one with music controls, a mic and in-ear buds but it seems that they are impossible to find.
And I was also wondering if bluetooth headsets cause a lot of battery drain
Thanks
Hi there,
You could try buying a pair of the Galaxy S earbuds from eBay, they do exactly what you're asking, and should play nice with any Android phone. As far as I know at least.
Anyone know if either one of these works with desire?
iLuv iEA15BLK iPod Remote with Third-party Headphones Adapter for VoiceOver (Black)
or
Sennheiser MM 50 iPhone
I'm not allowed to post links here, so you'll have to google them.

The biggest problem with finding a headset is companies not specifying supported phone models and assume everyone owns a freakin iPhone
I also need good earbuds which can controle the mediaplayer or can control volume.

Does anyone know if the battery drain is very bad with blue-tooth headphones?
i just got some Skullcandy Full Metal Jackets, they have a microphone and single button that works for play / pause / answer call, etc.
So far seems to work well with the Desire. Got them off eBay for £20 although they might be fakes as the RRP is more like £60.
Also order some Skullcandy Titans from Play.com on sale currently for £14 instead of £40.
That would be great if play shipped electronics anywhere outside the UK hehe. I'll have a look on ebay. Could you link the Full Metal Jackets you got? 1 button is better than no button at all hehe
I use my headsets about 80% of the time... that said the oem headsets are not as loud as I would like them to be. They are ok and just that.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good audiophile headsets for around $50-$70 bucks? I saw Zagg has some but I didn't like that the volume on the headset used a sliding mechanism. I would have preffered a rocker or buttons.
I liked the zagg because it had the mic and everything. I wouldn't buy a headset without the mic for my phone.
I do use the phone as a media player (movies & music) so does anyone have any sites I could check out?

Headphone.com is my go-to source for headwear. There's a bunch of headset options in your price range.
look up Grado. they make great headphones... they have entry levels in your price range if you find them on sale.
here's a good site:
http://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=45&sort_on=title&sort_by=&view_all=true
they're also on amazon for the same price.
Check the impedance (given in ohms)
The volume issue most likely has to do with impedance. Headsets with high impedance will have less volume than those with lower impedence. Higher impedance models will tend to last longer, though. Just something else to keep in mind.

Will these work for sure on the G2?? Looks like I'm going with these...
The grado's are too expensive with a mic. Its redick and the reviews I have read aren't that positive compared to the sonys.

I haven't had a chance to use those specifically, as I have the "normal" version of those to listen with (and they sound great with nice, tight bass). I went to test my v-modas with my G2, and they keep launching Subsonic rather than the stock music app, but I assume that it works just like it did on my Nexus One. The volume buttons will NOT work on the Sonys (or any others that are for the iPhone 3GS/4), but the call button should work with the music player and answer phone calls.
Kicker makes some of the best headphones. I have the EB91M. The fit very deep in my ear and have tons of bass. I got the M series so I would have a mic to use with my G2.

I have V-Moda Vibe Duos for awhile now. They've went through 3 designs the past 3 years I think. So far, the headset works pretty well but the headphones are more tuned for dance music meaning you'd have to boost midtones in the EQ to flatten the spectrum you hear. Otherwise, it has been pretty good so far.
A pair should set you back $40 - $70 depending on where you find them sold.
whenever this conversation comes up, I have to pimp the Head-Direct RE0.
$350+ sound for ~$70
I currently use:
Sony Ericsson MW-600 Stereo Bluetooth headsets -- they have a mic clip with OLED display that clips to your shirt and a stereo jack to use any headphones you want to it. They work great. Also has an FM Tuner built-in if you want to use that and can pair to two BT devices at once.
I also use Sony MDR-NC7 noise canceling headphones. They are fairly inexpensive for what they are -- $50-$70 USD (I paid 50 at Target). They have decent noise cancellation and are very comfy for long airplane rides. Sound quality is above average. Great for the price, but its not the best.
As far as earbuds, I use the ones that come with my SE BT headset and they sound pretty good. Again, not great, but good enough. The real limit factor is the phone itself. It's not the best audio player in my opinion.
Where can I find these?

NOTE: There is no microphone, which might make this pointless.
Also, if you want accurate sound reproduction, these are EXCELLENT. However, if you need ear-drum bursting bass, look elsewhere. I can honestly say these phones are some of the most accurate I've ever used, and I've bought some EXPENSIVE cans in my day.
JL buds, they require 24hr burn in, the have a wireless phone with a mic, and the sound quality is amazing.

I just bought a set of Dre Beats that comes with the new HTC Sensations off eBay, many people who have bought the phone and don't want to listen to their music on it are selling the earphones for upto £50.
I use a set of Beyer Dynamic MMX100 In-ear phones/headset- excellent set of headphones, I find Sennheisers to be slightly too transparent/tinny and all Beyers seem to be slightly warmer- good enough for the majority of the music industry/music studios etc then good enough for me
They are usually £120 RRP, but if you look on Amazon.co.uk, one seller has them in stock and selling them for £79.99 with free delivery (Amazon currently selling them for £102.11).
I use Dr Dre Beats Tour headphones, they're very good sound quality and the mic works, a little on the expensive side though.

I thin you must try Smartphone Experts Stereo Headsets (3.5mm).
It has good sound quality.
It combines integrated headset technology with a stereo sound isolating design to deliver rich, detailed sound while blocking outside noises.

Stay away from Iphone compatible gear with analog volume control, i.e. trim pot, they be mono on HTC Desire. My own experience...
considering the Dr. Dre Beats!
Dr.Dree beats headphones, i tried Monster Beat headphones and they are fantastic I will try my best to get them here it is 50 euros, because a lot of people didn't wanted headphones
Sony Ericsson MW600 - my choice. comfortable and good quality.
Suggest you check out the HTC RC-E190 flat cabled in-ear headset. It is HTC branded from Expansys and has remote controls for calls and music which work well with Desire. It is available on Amazon for £10.28 with free shipping too. Decent quality too.
Ultimate Ears 400vi are also decent In-Ear headphones and they work well with the desire.
Sony Ericsson MW600 +1
Can't believe no one mentioned Jays?
Their value is amazing. Not the best In-Ear headphones at all, but considering their price they're amazing. Most audiophile forums I've checked find them to be better than Beats by Dre's in-ear series. I'm not a big fan of Beats (you don't get alot for your money, unlike Grado).
Check out a-JAYS One+ (the plus makes the difference). They come with a mic + remote (control button) and an app so you can decide what the button does. Standard settings are:
1 click: Music; pause/play - Call; answer/hang up
2 clicks: Music; next track - Call; reject call
1 click+hold, 2 clicks+hold and so on.
Got 'em myself. Works like a charm. And the sound is amazing.
Is there any remote control for Desire, which allows me to plug in my own headphones? I want something like the Nokia music controller. I don't need any mic, only volume controls (of the phone, not only of headphones!) suffy. Thanks

I read your thread and I don't own any iPhone or any pair of Beats Speakers yet, but was considering of buying one. So. Can you please argument what you said?
In general I don't believe any pair of speakers is worth more than 100€ and anyway I would never buy (because for my needs are more than enough) any pair of speakers more expensive than 50€.
That said. Why do you think that Beats Audio Speakers are overrated? Why do you think they sound crap? Considering that you can find the same headset included in the XE or XL on the Bay for about half of the price (around 40-50€ shipping included) wouldn't you recomend it as a good purchase? And why?
Yes, they are all overpriced to much. For more information please check Head-fi forum, they will tell you which pair of headphones you should get instead of Beats

I own the S4i's and they are easily one of the best pair of buds i have ever owned. Excellent range on them. I'm someone who loves mids and highs with bass as a supplement and not the main thing. (mostly because i listen to bands like earth wind and fire and such)
I tell people all the time, if you plan on getting these, avoid the app. The delay is so bad sometimes, it will mute your call instead of answering it or you may just miss the call outright.
I have heard there are apps that work better for headset control, but I run ICS ROMS now and they accept the button without need for a third party app. So I'm find with that aspect.
Mic is pretty good. I have yet to have a caller tell me they can tell i am on a headset or that they can't hear me. Sound quality on my end and their end easily makes these worth it in my mind.

Well...I can find your S4 at 20€ or less on eBay...thing is that I need a mic to use them as a headset..!
S4i for iPhone starts at 30-40€ but S4a for Android seems to be the most expensive and I really can't afford them without risking a divorce :-/
I can't find anything with a better compromise between price and quality than the Beats Audio In Ear ....if anybody has any suggestion is more then welcome!
Key points to keep in mind is:
- In Ear Headset with mic
- 50€ MAX (NOT around 50€: MAX 50€!! And the cheaper it is the better it goes)
- Possibly with a working comander control (play - pause - skip music - answer to call.....)
I just got the HTC RC-E190 for 19€...but I'm selling it cause the ear buds don't match with my ear channel...! Klipsch S4A's would be great but it's too expensive...

Hi I have an XE and s4i (black ones).
I can confirm that the beats profile is recongnized when the headphones are plugged in and play, pause work (with the center button) but not the volume up and down.
The mic works as well.
Quality on s4i is top notch and I actually prefer my s4i than the stock beats headphones (oval earbuds fit better in my ears)
Hope this helps.
As to the sound, I find s4i better than ibeats given with the phone (but sound is a personal taste)

Pickup a pairs of Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, AKG and listen to those yourself. You'll know the reason.
If you like to wear a headphone, buy Beats. If you like to listen to music, get something else.

If you are still looking for decent headphones/earbuds, try the Sol amps (60usd)

Anyone have any information on the sound chip that's inside of our HTC One S?
I'd like to buy a pair of headphones that compliment the audio features of my phone. Preferably "ear buds" "behind the neck" or "clip-on" models.

I wouldnt want to waste money on a pair of headphones that the phone cannot drive to its full potential. So pretty much just looking for a pair thats an even match against with the phone can put out. Knowaddumsayin?
I don't think anyone can answer that without knowing your price range. For in ear, I'm partial to Etymotics.
Personally, I don't think the htc one s can make magic happen out of anything over $100 lol. So probably between 60-100.
The Beats technology inside is primarily tuned for the urBeats and Solo (not HD) (you select them in the sound enhancer menu), if it's what you are talking about.
But to be honest, I don't think you need "beats" headphones to get the "Beats improvements". I would say that any pair of headphones that can deliver high power and bass can do it.

Well, I know that Beats headphones will work great on the phone but you will still waste money on them xD
(You may wait and get them for nearly half (if not more) the price at the Boxing Day...........)

The beats headphones are good, but not worth the price tag. All they are, are fancy headphones which look cool, inside, they have the same parts as your basic headphones,
Beats Audio is just a preset EQ..
However, I like beats and i got beats headphones free with the phone.. but i most certainly wouldnt pay for them, The stock headphones work just as well.
I recommend Me electronics headphones, fantastic for the price and awesome customer service.they have many styles and qualities and get very good reviews depending on the headphone. Go to headfi for reviews based on price range.
Yea I pretty much agree with anyone here I use basic in ear skull candy headphones I got last black Friday for 10 bucks and they sound the same as when I plug in my cousins beats which he paid 79.99 for

I have a pair of Sony in ear headphones. Found them at Bestbuy for 40 USD. They have real rich sound and work great with the Beats Audio plugin. They also have an in-line microphone and play/pause forward/back answer/hangup buttons that all work on our device. I will try to find a link if you are still interested.
Keep in mind these have a real good quality if you want something kind of budget, they can definitely compare to my friends in ear Bose at 99 USD.
You can also get the best sound ever by using a 3rd party music app called PowerAMP. This gives you a crazy amount of control of EQ, bass, treble, stereo x and much more. As an audiophile I cannot live without it
Not sure where you live but the bestbuy where I live has headphones on display and you can pop the jack into your phone and test drive for yourself. I found some Sony studio style headphones for 149 that sounded better than the 299 ones. Plus some skull candy's for 129 that sounded even better. I know your price range, just saying price isn't all its cracked up to be when it comes to headphones. Plus if you know any audiophiles or DJs they will tell you beats headphones aren't worth any price they sell them for.

I have a set of Sennheiser PX100s. Luckily I got them a few years ago when they were cheap; looks like they've since been discontinued and have gone up in price. But I like them. I can't stand earbuds, I've never found a single set that stays in my ears. The PX100s are headband-style and they fold up flat. And they have good sound.
Also heard good things about Koss PortaPros, another under $50 portable headband set. Despite being over the head style, both these sets are small and compact so they won't make you look TOO weird if you're wearing them in public, although they might mess your hair up a bit if you're not careful.

or at least some part number.
I am using the headphones that came with my Samsung Vibrant, but the button on them doesn't control the phone like it did on my Vibrant. I am looking for a set with a button that will pause my music and also click to answer/hangup calls.
I just have a pair of $13 headphones, which come with foam tips and sounds pretty good.

Second vote for Etymotic!
I have found anything from monoprice.com to be amazing...their $2 iphone knockoffs sound better than any buds I've gotten with any phone and their $5 in-ears are even better. There are devoted communities of hackers who use their bass boost models as project phones and many audiophiles rate their over the ear models higher than phones costing 5 times more.
I know you guys are talking in the ear--
But, I have a pair of Plantronics Pulsar 590E over the ear Bluetooth headphones that have good range and nice bass.
I don't know how beats works, but no change in sound quality with it on or off--
