Help Pls Req:-Cheap htc one S in ear (buds) headphones with mic and working remote ? - HTC One S

Hi Alllll , just got my new htc one S a few days ago , great phone , very happy etc , but the headphones that come with the phone would be great if they where ear bud / in ear type......ideally i would like a decent quality pair for around £5.00 - £10.00 with mic and remote suitable for working with my new phone
I have tried my old samsung galaxy 1 headphones , but alas the sound echo's , the mic works and the remote....
Any reccomendations welcomed but please ideally tried and tested

I take it your in the UK? If so for the price range your looking at your not going to get the sound quality you want or deserve for music.
Have a look in Argos for code 514/6062 (KitSound KS1 Colours In Ear Headphones With Mic - Black) for £15. My choice for your price range would be a trip to eBay for a set of HTC ear phones with Mic.

Hi Yes , i am in the uk thank you , its a shame the kitsound dont quote a remote , as i would like to use for hands free when i recieve a call.

As I posted, its down to your price range. Even if you where to get around £30-40 you would get a decent set with the functions that you require. A friend has a set but is away on holidays at the moment, when he returns I'll get some info on them for you and post it.

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-30i-MM30i-Headphones/dp/B004HD4L2E Now these are the dogs......

At £10.00 your choices will be pretty limited. I suggest using an app like JAYS Headset Control with a single button set instead of one with a more functional remote.
I settled on a pair of Brainwavz M4 with mic for under £20. There's also the ebay Skullcandy store that has mic'd sets starting at under £7. But I suspect my choices and prices are a little better here in the US.

Have to bump this thread, also need something fairly cheap that has decent remote. Not really audiophile, just need my headphones occasionally for in-car use, so no point in spending £50. So £20 is probably my max. Any suggestions appreciated.

These are "fake" (I believe) HTC headphones. The same ones that came with older HTC phones (the One S I have did not come with any headphones at all!)
Edit: Don't flame me, I suggested these because he wanted cheap ones, and these are identical to the ones HTC used to supply.

Haha nothing wrong if you're buying cheap goods. I wouldn't buy any of their more expensive stuff though.

Hi guys, I'd also like to ask for some advice on a decent headphone set with a remote that actually has more than 1 button and works on the One S. I live in Germany though, so it should preferably be something that's available here or at least deliverable and cheap to import. I'd like to set the price limit to 20€, but if you really mean nothing with a decent quality can be found for that little, I might consider going up to 30€. Thanks a lot!

I spent about a week to search all over forums, topics...but still could not find any pair of good quality headphones with 3 buttons( volume +/- and play/pause) + mic for under $20 dollars. But if you guy want a good pair of headphone with only 1 button ( can do "play/pause/next song") then this is might be the best

I use my choice of one button IEMs (currently Brainwavz M4) and JAYS headset control app. Play, pause, stop, next track, previous track, volume up, volume down, etcetera all accessible from the single button.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

If one's in the looking for something not that expensive, but still with a reasonable level of quality - search no more:
http://www.expansys.com/htc-smart-3-5mm-wired-headset-with-flat-cable-white-rc-e190-222183/
The RC E190 will work just fine, they are of decent build quality and the sound it's OK.
I must confess that I'm not what you would call a connoisseur or good judge of the sound quality, but the headset it's at least at the level of Sonny Ericsson models, and they look good too.
The link that I've recommend is to a major re-seller of HTC accessories (not only).

The JVCs looked perfect until I noticed the "remote" doesn't have volume control. The reviewer said it, wtf is this for a remote? Seems I'll be going the JAYS App way, although that still sounds cumbersome in comparison to at least 3 hardware keys...

Then the surprise comes not expect it to work the remote control that is integrated and works partially, you can call, answer and end calls, and put the pause and play the music
The only thing that does not work, which would be perfect, are the keys to raise and lower the volume, it hurts, but it will not work as thought nothing, because something good is, that almost complete functionality. even though I have to see if it works the handsfree, (micro) to hopefully work to see if you then test and confirm
Worth it because as you know these headphones are of very good quality, if you could make any application or modify the registry or something to activate the function of the volume and would be perfect.
if anyone knows anything, I would be very well the Swift.

Confirm! the speakerphone(microphone) works perfect

The iphone/ipod headphones are quite horrible compared to a pair of sennheiser in-ears (or most other 'real' headphone brands), why do so many people think they're so good?

Man!! do not compare, the iphone headphone, sounds good but not profesional quality
the sennheiser is the master of the sound, is other world, is the perfect sound.
is like comparing a street car with a ferrari jeje
greetings!
we know
there are lots of iphone compatible headphones around, that do work with the HD2 (and the HD) I have a few sets.
My favourite ones are some really cheap ones I bought for less than 15gbp, especially as they are cheap enough that I dont care if I damage them
(I've just found some mm50ip for 18gbp - 5% )!
But you lose the music control (<< and >>) by not using the included ones, so one option is to solder some earbuds onto the existing HD2 controls..
this really should be in the accessories forum.

I would be very carefull when buying good heaphones for such a cheap price, I originally cancelled my order with amazon twice after I found this great website http://fakeheadphones.com and made sure I was getting them from amazon directly!! As I didnt want to end up with a pair of duds
After showing that site to one of my mates, he worked out he'd been sold fakes from ebay a while ago... he wondered why they broke so quickly!
If it's too good to be true...walk away
Hello fellas!
just buy an adaptor with remote and plug your favorite inears toy!
check 4 it on ebay.
XD
Ipod earbuds are really bad. Not clear, bad lows, bad highs. Just look at headfi.org and watch for a good headset like nuforce ne-7m (only a a bit more expansive then Senheisser) or some RE0. Senheisser is really popular but just as bose, you pay for the name. But they aren't bad. Once you hear the difference between some apple earbuds and some high quality one's you never go back.

I guess perhaps all headphones with remotes for the 3Gs would work then???
funny thing is iPhone is so annoyed of Google...they are considering to makeBING their default search engine...
Microsoft and Apple cooperation would be pure comedy. lol
The apple headphones aren't the best, i agree. But the remote function is bloody excellent and there are some quality headphones from top companies that support apple but not htc. If this could be developed it would be great but it's not likely. At this rate, ill be heading back to the iphone, the phones just too convenient.
i have the headphones that work fine. they are good in quality and reasionable at price.
how much cost this headphones?
i wonder how is this relevant to HD2 themes and apps?
this should be in the accessories section!!!

In-line music control headphones for Desire

Hi all,
I am thinking of buying a HTC Desire. I currently use an Xperia x8 and they have inline headphones which are pretty good but require a special port

Does such a think exist for the desire? Will it require a different music application? I use the Xperia x8 while cycling so having big music controls is very handy!
Thanks

Iv not seen anything that could let you use that type of earphone sorry...
I have tried two different earphones that have inline controls and found that the play/hold to skip etc button will work but the others such as volume wont. So not sure if skip buttons would work anyway, just to let you know.
The hardware case wouldn't match the stick, I'm afraid, so i won't think it will ever work.
I have a headset that came with my desire that has music controls similar to the one posted above. I'll try attaching a pic of it now. Its an official HTC product.
EDIT: Pictures attached

HTC provides us by the good headphones, i have this one
Lookin for an In-ear headset with remote for my Desire S
Sure we got a headset from HTC which came with the phone, and while the remote controller on the headset is great, the earphones themself are unconfortable and their sound quality is just not well enough.
Thats why im hunting on the internet for some propper headset with a remote, which can controll the music player on my Desire S.
Sadly, I didn't find it so far...
I'd really appreciate if someone could suggest me a Brand, who makes compatible In-Ear style earphones for HTC phones.
think this will give you what you want
Have been using these with a set of senheiser headphones, Works great.

you can buy the apple in ear phones if you dont mind wearing this trendy piece of sh**! I dont think it'll work with the stock player, but works with powerAMP and PlayerPro. I use the 'stock-apple-headphones' with the controll (with playerPRO) and I dont see why it shouldnt work with the in ear phones.
Im not allowed to post external links, just google for 'apple in ear headphones'

If you want to get a little creative with a pair of in ear buds. Going to try this this week.
Try some skullcandies. They are excellent sound quality, warranty is awesome (mechanical failure- free replacement, you break them- 50% off next skullcandies)
Some variants of the in ear headphones have in line controls, but they are about the size of the iPod ones, not sure if that's big enough for you...
Or, if you want to risk it... Try splicing the cable =)
I'm not sure if you've sorted this problem, but I just tried looking for the same thing.. HTC here sells in-ear headphones with limited controls (it plays/pauses and double clicks for next, but it is supposed to triple click to reverse.. as if) anyway, they aren't that good, but they do work with HTC gear..
BUT - today I went to a Sony Ericsson store and they had bluetooth headphones with FULL controls.. large like the ones you posted and they worked perfectly on my Desire.. they were expensive though... and I've never road tested them, but in the store, they were amazing.
if you google Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headphones, they come up right away.. there are a couple different models and you can switch the buds as well, which I hadn't realised.. (I never thought to check, but the SE ones sounded good anyway)
Well your headphone has a 3.5mm port but they appear to have an extra part that fits into something. It's hard to explain... erm in the pic to the bottom left so I wouldn't be too sure if they'd work or not. HTC give you free headphones with their phones but frankly They're not very well shaped for inside the ear as they're a complete round shape and are uncomfortable and awkward. I want to find better ones with all the music controls...
I use a pair of these:
klipsch. com/ na-en/ products/ image-s4i-overview
They're designed for the iPhone but they give pretty awesome quality and can be had pretty cheap now they're a bit older.
Pretty much any third party music player app can manipulate the middle button and you can answer calls/use the mic with them too.
I use PowerAmp and a single click on the middle button plays/pauses music, double click goes to the next track and triple click the previous. Unfortunately the volume up/down buttons don't work, but doesn't bother me as I can press the side volume keys on the phone through my jeans

Has anyone tried a set of headphones designed for the iPhone? I am partial to Sennheiser headphones myself and they do a set for that phone that has some similar controls.
Otherwise I will just hack a solution out of the set of headphones supplied with my soon to be purchased Desire S and my current pair of Sennheiser in ears. I am also tempted to make a setup for my HD 465 over the head headphones.

I got last summer zagg smartbuds and since then I have no problem at all.
I use PlayerPro.
The good thing about smartbuds over the other ones is that they have their own volume control (a sliding button) so 1 click for pause, 2 clicks for next, and 3 for previous and also volume control without touching the phone.

Good Quality Headphones With Working Remote?

Does anyone have any suggestions for some good quality headphones that have a remote that will actually work with the Sensation?
If no one knows of any with a working remote i'd also like some suggestions for good quality headphones that are affordable.

I use my old Samsung epic 4G in ear earphones which have the remote for answer and mute but that's about it, no volume rocker. They have a nice bass boost I might add.
I always chime in on these kinds of threads with my personal favorite: Zagg Smartbuds.
Been using them since I got my Nexus One, and they sound great. The single button works just fine for play/pause, and most music apps I've come across (like PowerAMP on my phone) support double- and triple-clicks for FF and RW functions just fine with these earbuds.
There's a mechanical slider for volume control which isn't totally ideal, but is probably the only way to do volume with headphones technically designed for the iPhone.
They shouldn't cost too much either. Like $60 or something?
V-Moda revamp. Period.
Anyone have any affordable suggestions?
I don't exactly want to spend $100+ on heaphones

With all the experience i got in life, i can tell: Quality has a price.
In other words, cheap price usually don't have quality.
The headphones that came with my Nexus One work great. The controls work perfectly and I've always felt the sound quality was great. (Although, I'm not a expert in audio quality.)
Works perfectly for me when I go to the gym.

Fair enough. I was looking at some Beats by Dr Dre, but i might wait a few weeks before i actually decide to buy some.
Grab a pair of Ultimate Ears Super-Fi 5vi on eBay for about $50~80
They are basically the same as the Ultimate Ears 600vi, which is selling for about $100-120. The 5vi has a single button that works with the Sensation. UE discontinued it a while ago and replaced it with the 600vi, which is basically the same but with iPhone style 3-button design. The extra two buttons won't work with the Sensation anyway, so you may just grab the old version, the 5vi, for much lower price.
HTC+Beats=
Maybe HTC will give out headphones to people who have bought one of their phones?
I'm one who listens to continuous music for hours at a time, so the remotes just get in the way for me. I generally don't buy them with the remotes because they either don't work / are more expensive than remote-less models/ both.
As far as earbuds go, I've had several in the sub-$100 range, and bang-for-your-buck I haven't found anything to beat my Sennheiser CX300's. For only 30 dollars they're on par with my nicer Shure earbuds, but much less expensive. They're also very compact and easy to tuck anywhere. I highly recommend them if you're on a budget but want good sound, just make sure you use the right set of ear pieces (it comes with 3 sizes) to get the right bass transfer. You'll know when it's right because it will sound great.
I have in-ear a-JAYS Four earphones. I love the cristal clear sound quality. The flat cable is a real day to day pleasure, no more annoying tangled cables as they say. What really sucks is that they're made for apple devices , so only one of three's remote controller buttons works on android . It seems there's no way to make the two other buttons to work on android devices

Now I've been using these for 6 years and they're amazing, I just rebought them because they died today. Look for "she 9550" on amazon, they have AMAZING bass. And then look for a controller, they intercept the mp3 jack and the nub, they're cheap! Just got mine today.

Klipsch "Gaming" earbuds from Amazon. Identical specs to the S4i but with a single button control. Great sound quality and work fine with the Sensation. They also include a nifty splitter so you can use them for your PC. Cost is around $53 or so last time I checked.
Also, Best Buy currently has Woodees Blues on sale for under $40 (used to be $79 or so). I picked up a pair on a whim, and they sound excellent.
Both work fine with the sensation for play/pause and answering/disconnecting calls. I haven't found any that work with ff/rw, etc. besides the stock HTC ones.

Skull Candy 50/50 No Longer Working?
This seems to be the most relevant thread I can find for this question. I have a pair of Skull Candy 50/50 headphones with mic that I had been using on my Nexus one (purchased in the last few weeks... and before I knew I was upgrading my phone). The volume rocker didn't work on the nexus one but the ONE feature (aside from sound quality) that I need from my headset is MUTE. It worked on the Nexus One and it doesn't work on the Sensation 4G.
Has anyone seen this with other headsets? Is there anything I can do besides investing in a new pair (the crappy ones that come with the phone are no good for my purposes unfortunately... I end up on a lot of conference calls in noisy places like airports so I like the sound isolation of the skull candy earbuds with the mute/un-mute on the headset so that I don't have to constantly power on the phone's screen to mute or un-mute the call).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

yup, you got it.. I did that to my hd2 awhile back too so I thought why not my sensation.
I don't know, I've been using the stock Sensation earphones, no major complaints, except that maybe a volume control would be nice on the remote, and they seem somewhat fragile - compared to a free pair I got that came with a friend's HTC Wildfire, only has a single button though.
Another thing I would take into consideration is what the earphones will be used for. For example, for work, I used to take a crappy £2 set of earphones, because they'd often get caught in machinery, or cut, etc.
Does anyone know if it's possible to reassign functions to the buttons on the remote?

Hopefully the 3.5mm Jack won't pull a Sony NXT and be iPhone standard.

Other than Klipsch Image S4A earphones, is there any other similar quality, or coming close but great value earphones for this device?
Post them here
Here's some budget earphones
JVC HAFX40

What's your budget?
For ear buds, anything under $50 won't have too much difference.
Don't get skull candy or beats, they are over priced crap.

I was thinking anything cheaper than S4a that comes close performance wise so that's $69-0 range.
I was hoping to come up with a decent list for people. Then I can sort it neatly on the first post.
I don't see much sense in putting in the big bucks for Monster or Shure just for your similarly priced ($350) phone, but I might include those too for the extravagant I guess.
http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAF150B-H...=UTF8&qid=1352988603&sr=1-1&keywords=JVC+Gumy
those are the best "investment" I ever made in headphones. It's actually the ones I'm most satisfied with !
Anyway I saw on a review on a French site that the phone is coming with headphones
Theoritically, the best earphones should complement the frequency response of the N4, which we don't know yet. I'm still waiting on GSMArena's review and their RMAA test results.

Until Google confirm this I'll keep adding buds.
Those in the link look comfy, not to sure about the sound quality though.

If you are considering a $69 S4, might as well add a little bit to get a Shure SE215 for around $100~$120. The sound quality is much better than S4.
http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE215LT...qid=1352999128&sr=1-6&keywords=shure+earphone
It's not too expensive but provide very good quality. If you spend any money for earphones under S4, it would be a waste because majority of those earphones are just mass produced generic ones with their own label slapped on.
Trust me, I own almost $800 worth of headphones so I think I have fair share of insight into that.

No offense here but after you try a real good set of headphones, those cheap ones just sound garbage.
I used to buy those under $10 headphones all the time but then I spent some real money on a true mid-fi, hi-fi set, I can never go back to the cheap headphones anymore.
Well I'm looking for in-ear phones that have mic and controls. As we don't know which one is gonna work with the N4 I will wait a little bit longer.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I will be purchasing Klipsch Image S4 in ear headphones. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V9LPT4/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

Thanks for the tip! But too pricey for me and "should" isn't good enough. Or is Shure somehow connected to Google ?

Cellphone uses standard 3.5mm headphone jacket, it doesn't matter what brand or whom the phone is from.
Shure is a very dedicated audio products company which mostly make high quality audio equipment. It may be a pricey at first glance but trust me, in audio world, that's just entry level. But they are very durable and the sound quality is just great.
If you have tight budget, you can get a Klipsch S4 one which is cheaper but still good quality,
http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-S4i-Premium-Noise-Isolating-3-Button/dp/B00264GYMG
The last thing you want to get are the cheap $10 ones. They simply are not worth it.

I know, it's not expensive for good audio equipment. I'm just worried about Mic and Controls .. I sometimes heard about other headphones that controls don't work and stuff like that. So I'm looking for one that's working with the N4 for sure.

Hmm usually for those, mic and volume control are fine because they are standard input/output. Usually if there's something wrong, it's the fwd/play/rwd buttons. But you can try anyway, Amazon has 30 day return policy. If it doesn't work, they won't charge you for restocking and return shipping fee.

I know you said $20 max but if you're willing to pay a bit more these are awesome! I had them for like a year or two and they were great with my sensation and N4.

I'm sure you can find some for $25 instead of $31.

Yep, I've tried a few different ones and Apple EarPods are definitely the best in terms of mic quality and reliability. The middle control button works too, just not the volume rocker.
Try Ultimate Ears 200, costs around $12.

I've just recently bought a Nexus 4 and looking for a decent pair of earphones. I've used Sennheiser before and they are quite good. Picked out two good pairs below but can't choose between them, not really sure on the specs.
http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/stereo-earphones-headphones-smart-mobile-phones-mp3-mx-375
http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/stereo-earphones-smart-phones-mobile-mx-580
Previously owned this model http://en-uk.sennheiser.com/stereo-ear-headphones-earphones-mx-170 but fancy a change, because my brother has taken those now.
As most people are recommending Apple I've decided to go with this combo below.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221169135440 and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220858554902
These should do me nicely.

haha! are you sure these aren't loud enough? I haven't seen any stats for these model of headphones anywhere so it's hard to tell, if you look at my previous post i was comparing two other headphones that had some stats on them. which do you recommend out of the 3 options now?
I've made up my mind, dead certain now. I've decided to go with the new Apple EarPods, they are much more safer than the iPhone 4S headset I've seen them break easily the top pop out and the cable isn't securely firm no rubber protection it's very lose. Apple EarPods it is!
Part no. MD827ZM/A
I've looked around, seen the Apple EarPods which was highly recommended but then I read that it doesn't fit all people and can sometimes hurt.
I'm considering the previous model to that, the Apple EarBuds that come with the iPhone 4/4S. Picture below.

I just purchased these and I love them. In comparison to the Ear Buds I got with my S3, these seem to be a little clearer and it's reported to me by those I talk to on the phone that I'm louder. I like that they fit so well in my ear. The ones from my S3 seem to work their way out but these Nexus ones stay put. You get two other rubbers to replace the ones that come on it as well. All in all, a good purchase. Plus, I like the " X " on the end of them...goes nicely with my Nexus 4 :good:
...one down side...10.50 shipping fee...not happy about that but it's worth the price...in my opinion.
...but...if you want them, get them now as they sell out quick. I had to wait two months for them to restock.

They look okay to me. The thing I notice between these and the Nexus buds are that the Nexus ones give better sound as they block out noise better than these HTC ones. That being said, some people can't wear the ear buds and have to go with the other style. I'd do online reviews of the brand you are interested in to see what others say. There are many sites that do reviews of these besides forums.
Does anyone know if the SkullCandy S3FXDM earphones work with the Nexus 4? Microphone is important here. They say they are supported by Apple devices so not really sure here.
These are the ones I was looking at below.
Sennheiser
Sennheiser cx 275 s.
Currently i'm using Philips SHE8000 In-Ear Headphones.
Very good fit, three different sizes of earplugs and very good sound. Since they also provide a very good seal when in your ears, you don't need any equalizer, the overall sound-quality is great, and the bass is really banging, without the need for any amplification.
