Does anyone know if these work correctly with a Nexus One?

It says they work correctly with an iPhone or Blackberry. This seems to be a good deal as it has a microphone, answer/hangup, play/pause, next/prev buttons.
So, they presumably work the same way the iPhone headphones do when plugged into the N1:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/287325-post5.html
Also, it's worth noting (in case you haven't seen iPhone headphone before) that there's just a single button on the cord. Depending on the number of times you press it, you can play/pause (single click) or go to the next track (double click); it acts as the answer/hang up button when the phone rings or you're already on a call, respectively.
Have you looked at the Meizu M9s? They're supposed to have good quality sound, and they make an iPhone-compatible version. That's what I'm considering. They run $20-$30 (check Overstock.com or the manufacturer's website).
Thanks for the link. Too bad nobody (so far) makes a 100% Nexus One compatible model. I would settle for an adapter instead and just use my trust Sony buds. Maybe I could just chop off the buds that came with the N1 and splice on my own
I am still toying with the idea of purchasing the mic wire for my triple fi 10s(which sound good). Not sure if it will work or not, but cant really think of a reason why it wouldnt. It's pretty cheap anyways.
I know that the iPhone headsets do not work (aside from just as headphones) with our phones. What I want to know is if there is a cheapish wired solution that does.
I don't care as much about things like volume control (would be nice) or answer/exit buttons. I will have complete access to the phone when using this (BT in my car, so don't need it there). Really I want this so I can have meetings/conference calls on my phone, still be able to work on the keyboard, and have the phone plugged in.
I would prefer something that would double as a pair of headphones, but that's not as important either. Just looking for suggestions.
Klipsch s4i. Supposed to be one of the best headphones for under $100. It had a mic and 3 button control (it says for apple products)
Mic will still work....see xda thread below. 1st link is to amazon. Everyone has their own ideas on what cheap is . Set a specific price range if you are looking for something not as pricey. That price is great for the headphones alone and even better with call support.

I've seen multiple reports on those ones. I may have to check them out. I thought that my local Costco had them, but it turns out that the pack I thought of was actually from Scosche (http://www.costco.com/Scosche-2-Pack-Headphones-w-Mic.product.100022924.html), though they say specifically that they work with Android phones.
I'm not picky about sound quality other than voice. These aren't going to take the place of my good headphones (Beyerdynamic DT-770) for the most part; but I also don't want something that's going to fall apart the first time I take them out of my pocket (assuming I travel with them, that is).
Just buy the SGH-I987 (Samsung Captivate) headset off ebay. I been using those ever since 2010.
Headsets made for the Galaxy Tab series work with the S2. I got one fom ebay for around $10.
I use a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds with an inline button/mic. They were like $15 at the local grocery store and work fairly well for day-to-day use. However, I have noticed that they're a little quiet when I'm trying to call people.
I just treated myself with a B&W P5 headset. The sound is stunning one the One S.
the headset comes with two cables. One is a simple cable that does nothing special. The other has built-in controls and a mic. Unfortunaley, this has been designed for the iPhone. That menas they don't work on the HTC One S.
Reading a lot on the net I couldn't really find a solution. Many people claim that there are two standards with four ring TRRS connectors with Apple essentially swapping the ground and mic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)
Wikipedia claims that HTC does the same as Apple but that can't be the entire truth since the controls don't work in my case. The are some extra infos about Apple using different resistors here in a Samsung Galaxy post: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...nal-soultion-why-most-headsets-wont-work.html
So question is: is there any easy way like buying an adapter to get the controls and mic of the Apple crap working for the HTC One S?
No I don't think there's any product that you can buy that has inline interchangeable controls I do know that the pause and play button should still work and that there are apps that enable you to only use the middle button for all inline controls such as the app Headset Button Controller
Hi friends,im searching for in ear headphones which have 3 buttons to control my s4.
Somehow there are many for ios users but cant find anything for android.
Im a sennheiser user since many years and its really annoying that sennheiser has a I series made for apple but nothing for us
Is there any option to get sennheisers I-series working for android via root?
or are there any other HQ in ears available for android out there?
Price does't matter
Thanks in advance

You may want to look at these http://www.klipsch.com/image-s4a-ii-headphones
I have an older pair without the controls and can say the sound quality is the the best for any earbuds under $200. I know the initial pair they made for android got some mixed reviews because of the software, but I'm more then willing to bet they've got it worked out at this point. Plus if you order them through amazon you could always return them.
Sounds good,but i would rather like to find a way to use the apple sennheisers.
I bet there is some way

Because of the way the iPhone-specific headphones are hard-wired, the volume buttons will not work on the S4. The center button + mic works fine on most iPhone-specific headphones. I have the Sol Republic Tracks HD - the center button + mic works, volume buttons do not work.
Try looking at the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104171
It says Galaxy S3 but I recently bought the Sony XBA 2VP on sale (it has a volume wheel instead of buttons). Works like a charm on my S4.
I would suggest the in-ear Shure SE535's... if you have that kind of money to drop and want phenomenal sound if you're an audiophile like me. The Shure SE535's are $500 but they are very well worth it. They are made in the USA as a triple driver (1 driver for highs, 1 for lows & 1 for bass) earphone. They come in clear or bronze colors, they come with an Android or Apple-specific (separate) mic cable, in-ear fitment sleeves made of foam, soft silicone, and triple-flange earplug-type sleeves. There's also an included case to put these earphones inside and you put them in your ear by way of behind, over-the-top of your ear, then inside your ear. Using the triple-flange sleeves makes the best fit out of the fitments included but you can buy a custom fit-kit for $150 for these earphones to be made to fit only your ears. With this separate puchased kit your local specialized audio/music shop can make a mold of your ear to further customize these earphones to make them more like the inner-ear personal monitoring system professional music artists use (which those systems start at about $1,000 I think).
If you want to go even further in your pursuit of audio perfection, you can wait for Shure to come out with their SE846's within the next couple weeks. These new 846's are going to be priced at $1,000 in the clear color, they'll be quad-driver driven, interchangeable yet customizable frequency response tubes, noise cancelling up to 37dB and so much more!

I used to have the Shure SE215's and they were good until I heard the 535's. I also had the in-ear Bose earphones and almost every in-ear type made by Sony, Philips, Sennheiser, and Skullcandy. The problem with all those other brand in-ear earphones is they NEVER stay in when playing fast-paced sports like racquetball, running, going off-road mountain biking and doing other jerky movements... they can never create a full seal around the inner ear and the weight of each earphone side (L & R) are heavy so they end up falling out of your ear. But seriously, you haven't heard quality until you've heard them through Shure's higher-end SE models.

He requires in line control.
This is rare in true "high-end" IEMs.
His best option is probably the klipsch like the other guy has mentioned.
The mic cable has an in-line control built inside it for the entire Shure SE model line. I have one for mine but it only has one button that functions exactly like the Apple one for their devices, it's just made for Android. You can find it on Ebay labeled as the "Shure SE phone cable" and you'll find the legit cable made by Shure with only 1 button for in-line control (but that 1 button acts as 3 separate buttons) for connecting to any android phone and you'll find chinese knock-off cables for cheap with only a 2-button inline control for the S4. I just checked and this is what I found.

Oh, the 1-button in-line control like the Klipsch earphones have is exactly the same as Shure's cable. Also comparing the Klipsch to the Shure earphones, you don't need to download any android app through the manufacturer to have the in-line control cable work with ANY android phone. Lastly, if it makes any difference to you... Shure has been around a lot longer since the mid-1920's versus the mid-1940's like Klipsch. Ive listened to the Klipsch S4's and they are ok.... if there was more bass and had more balanced highs and lows, plus they don't stay in.
Yes every person has different likes and preferences but try out the Shure SE high-end line (preferrably the SE535's), you won't be disappointed. Even their low end models are really good (215's & 315's).

Funny, my Etymotic HF3 (designed for Crapple) worked completely, all 3 buttons, on my old HTC HD2 which had a Windows Phone 6.5 OS, but only the center button works on Android. Is this a hardware limitation? Android limitation? Really annoying to not get full functionality from my otherwise beloved HF3s. (They work just fine on phone calls.)
I just tried the stock S4 headphones for the first time. Pretty good for freebies, but not in the same league as the HF3. Now I'm wondering if I could cut the buds off both of them and swap them, so the (lame) white Samsung cable could be used with the HF3 buds? The Etymotis aren't cheap, and I'd hate to ruin them, but this 3-button limitation of Android is unbelievably annoying.
The S4a's from klipsch are awesome for the money

I have tried a lot of different ear buds, I am still trying to find better ones. I have tried Bose IE2, Klipsch Image S4i, NoiseHush NX80 and Nokia Purity WH-920. So far, the Nokia earbuds are the best I have found. They were designed for windows phone, but all three buttons work on Android. None of the buttons work on iphone, which is weird.
Believe it or not, Apple's earpods have excellent sound quality. Unfortunately, they are very uncomfortable and are not noise isolating. But I use them when I go for walks, since they don't start to hurt until about a half hour or so and allows me to still hear what's going on around me.
So far, I've read that the Klipsch ones do work but I'm not actually interested in earbuds. I've been researching all over the net and here's a post I took from another thread from earlier this yr. There wasn't a lot of info but this was all I could gleam from it:

A-jay five for android
Bose AE2i Over the ear headphones <--- seems to have partial capabilities, apparently the volume buttons don't work.
Personally, I'm still mulling over getting the HTC Beats Solo or just buying Beats Solo HD and getting this aux cable to replace the monster cable. I'm only hesitating because I don't know if it's true that the cord will work at all. I may still end up taking the gamble when I get the extra cash.
Sorry to bring this back from the dead but here's the deal:
- apple & android use different electronics (resistance levels) in their button controls.
- come crappy android phones (Motorola, LG) won't ever recognize the extra buttons on android headsets
- some cool phones (Samsung, HTC) do recognize the extra buttons
If you want inline controls on your favourite headset, the thing to do is get your crappy stock earphones with controls (from Samsung, htc, etc) and then solder your preferred speakers onto them.
It's not a simple task but it's also not that bad; I've done it several times putting etymotic earbuds on my HTC cables.
I(f you have an apple-compatible headset you like, you can also add the resistors to the controls to make it android compatible but that I've never done.)
I have found the bluetooth planttonics back beats pro to work great can activate s-voice long press volume skip pause play can control music with voice control except play all others work range is awesome and the stabilization pieces make it hard for them to fall oht and most of all they are comfy

3-button Android Earphones with MASSIVE sound
Hi,
..my 10 cents:
As many I did put down some energy to find some better sounding 3-button earphones exclusively made for Android. Criteria: Flawlessly work with my S4.
Its been a long search, as you know most earphones are MFI based apple buds or bad sounding low cost crap buds, not functional on Android (atleast not 100%) or lacking the 3 buttons..
Finally I found a pair that has great sound and 3 buttons and very good sound, balance but with an extra BASS kick.
Great fit and flat cable! Their housing is made out of aluminum to preserve sound. Killer design but do check that yourself, my taste might not be yours..mega bang for the buck, beating all my old earphones (apple originals, apple dual d, sennheiser.. to name a few)
New king of my hill is:
Sabotage Royale 3-button earphone for Android
Their web & shop: www.degausslabs.com
Does anyone know this Saboage site ? is it trust worthy ? seem like the guy above just registered to do an advertisement of this product. but they do look cool. Hope any senior member can help comment about it.
Thanks
Hi
Well Im not advertising them but very satiesfied, but please get some member with seniority to vouch for it. As said Im no sound pro, but I love'em.
I bought mine at a hifistore in center Stockholm which may be one of Europes coolest hifi stores. Check out their Catacombo soundsystem serving you when getting buried!
They have mailorder as well but dont know if they ship overseas..
Dont forget to mention you want the android version:

I personally have used this: http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iSoniTalk-Microphone-Headphone-Adapter/dp/B000V8RCTS
I like using the 2 system better because there's no cord noise that affects the microphone while the cords sway when you're walking.
Hi, found this review on the Sabotage Royale 3-Button for Android. This test was done on a Windowsphone so the mic didnt work.. But I think its seconds my opinion pretty much.

I'm looking for some earphones, as the official ones that came with the phone are broken. I'm searching for something with good audio quality and with handsfree function. I prefer to spend more one time than buying them two or three times. I'm going to use them with the nexus 4 for the hands free function and with the iPhone 4 for listening to music.
Any advice?. I'd like to buy them from amazon if possible.
Interesting, I didn't get earphones with the phone

I got a pair of Xiaomi Pistons 2.0 after I lost the original ones (@Mashed_Potatoes: btw, headphones are only included in some versions of the N4, depending on the region. For example: french version has them) and they sound fantastic, especially considering they're dirt cheap. And the build quality is excellent too, way, WAY better than the cheapo plasticky ones that come with the N4. But be sure to get the ORIGINAL ones, lots of clones are around on ebay and chinese sites.
One thing worth knowing: no matter what headset you get, on the N4 only ONE button will work. This means that even on headsets that have 3 buttons (like the Xiaomi ones) only the central button works. This cannot be fixed unfortunately (I looked into it) the hardware just doesn't detect the extra buttons. So don't expect the skip track / volume controls to work, on any headset.

Thanks, I'll look into them. BTW yes, my phone is french, so it came with headphones. The buttons are not a problem, I only want to be able to start/pause a song and pick up/hang up a call.
I'm using these... Sound is awesome...Not to sure if they work on iPhone tho...
Single button ops with volume slider.
Short press to activate music app, long press to activate voice dialing
I bought a set of meelectronics m9p which come with volume slider and a single button
works like a charm,i'm able to control the volume with the slider,pick and terminate calls
2clicks for previous song and 3 for next song
long press for voice commands
as a gift for xmas i received a set of "house of marley" (liberate) headphones and imho are astonishing the bass sound is incredible
would definitely recommend
IMHO the best ear buds for the price on the market...
Personally, the Bose In-Ear line of earphones (with headset microphone) has served me very well:
I'd link you to them, but I'm a new poster and I can't provide links in my posts just yet. But if you Google "Bose In Ear Headphones" the main page for them will show in the first few hits.
In particular, these two models work with both Apple and Samsung Galaxy (Android) devices in terms of the buttons:
SoundTrue in-ear headphones — Samsung Galaxy - 149.99
SoundSport in-ear headphones — Samsung Galaxy - 129.99
IMO, there shouldn't be much of a difference with either of the two listed above. Apparently the sport ones are more sweat/weather resistant. IMO who cares? I guess with a 20.00 price difference one could choose to swing either way on that?
I own the apple-only in-ear headphones and I can tell you from experience that they work fine with the Nexus 4. The volume buttons don't work, but I can hold the middle button down to get Google Voice functionality. If I want to hang up the phone, just press the middle button once. While playing music, press one to pause, press once again to resume. Two quick presses advances to the next song.
My assumption is that the two that I linked to you in the list (Samsung Galaxy ones) should provide volume and better advancement through music because they're compatible with the device, which is android.
But the best part about them is that the sound is amazing and NO PAIN no matter how long I use them because they are supported by the inner frame of your ear, not your ear canals. I listen to a lot of electronica, mainly house music, and both the base and treble sound awesomely balanced.
The price point is comparable to the two best in-ear headphones on the Bob Marley site you posted.
Happy Hunting!

I use the iLuv earphones which is also handsfree.. They have great sound and manufacturing quality.. I am from Greece though and I don't know if they sell them anywhere else..!
I finally got the xiaomi pistons v2.1. They sound REALLY great although the volume buttons don't work.
Me too I'm using Pistons 2. They sound good, but I had to install the largest rubber rings. With smaller one, sound leaked from ears and bass frequencies were very weak. Luckily Pistons come with 4 different rubber rings sizes.
