Best Headsets/Earphone/Headphone for SGS database- (By Price)

Hi guys,
Got my SGS last week and imediately go tinto Darky's 9.5 and Oh Boy! what a fun device it has become!
But I am not able to use the poswer of VOODOO because of pathetic stock earphones.
I wanted to know what all you guys are using. I have tried Sennheiser c300 from a friend it was amazing. I have been going through forums but getting diverse views on compatibility for earphones like 'Kilpsch Image S4', 'Etymotic MC-3' about compatibility.
Can we build a database of compatible headphones/earphones to unleash the beast called Voodoo. Please name only those earphones/headphones that you can guarantee works for SGS:
< $50
$50-$100
$100-$200
>$200
It will help all users wanting to get a new earphone.

I would recommend Klipsch Image S4 if they work...few around on eBay for like $60...good deal...when I say 'if they work' its because I own the S4i which do not work..but I believe that's because of the control/remote...

To use a headset designed for the iPod on your SGS you need an adapter that swaps the connections from the second ring and the sleeve in the TRRS (tip, ring1, ring2, sleeve) plug configuration. I got one from kvconnection called the "iPhone headset to other cellphone headset jack adapter." It's a bit pricey, but well made. I'm sure you can find cheaper ones.
With this adapter, I don't have to hold down the remote button to hear the music properly on my Klipsch Image One and the play/pause button works, unfortunately the volume buttons still don't work.

These are some quality headphones that are working fine on SGS (including the microphone) and the best advantage is that you can use your favorite set of headphones with them because of that 3.5mm standard stereo jack they have in the microphone housing.

Works with Iphone, not Nokia/Galaxy S plug. Also buttons will never work. Read supercurio's thread for this.
if you want high bass headphones with a better soundbase, get the MDR-XB700's instead. No batteries needed and very deep and clear bass. MDR-XB500 are good alternative under 50E. Note that these headphones dont have support for mic so might be a bit off topic...

If you want something really cheap with good bass and clarity, JVC Marshmallow can be found under 10$.
Of course they are lacking in the medium range as almost every earbuds under 50$ do, but they are a definite improvement over the stock ones.
I'm using them with this to add mic, radio and the button (which is working as intended, 2 clicks = next track).

Hey dude i am from mumbai ..i am using Sony MDR-XB20 ITS THE BEST.. comes for 1800Rs

Klipsch Image S4 works great and I haven't had any problems at all, but if you have tv-out turned on you will hear a low swooshing sound.

Are there any headphones out there with controls on ??
when im out walking my dogs, i dont have a hand free to get into my pocket unlock the screen and skip track.
its kinda difficult. and controls around my neck would make life so much easier

I bought a pair of fischer audio dba-02 iem's. The best sounding headphones i have ever had. Clear, precise and combined with voodoo sound make every song new again.

Work with Cyanogen Mod 7 in Galaxy S ??

sony ericsson mw600 is good (bluetooth) with display

I have the Bose MIE2. They don't work well with the SGS. The volume is soft, the mic doesn't work and neither does the button.
I bought a cable from KV connection ($20). The volume is OK and the sound is excelent (good bass) now and the mic works, but the button doesn't work. Auto answer sloves that partially, but you can't skip songs.

I see its in the settings but I'm wondering if our device is capable or not. Right now, I'm in the middle of choosing this or the sensation and its a really tough call. I love both and I'm happy dumping my g2x.

I'm not entirely sure, from what I've read it makes the phone into a media server, so I would assume it would theoretically provide better clarity as it would be the television decoding the media and not the phone.

Using this type of cables is completely new to me. Would you explain four pole? All I can say for certain is that they're just an old Zune HD set of cables I had laying around. Ironically, they never worked for it and got lost after it was stolen. I don't really find them that useful though as it's clearly not anything near HDMI output quality. I still find it strange that this "feature" hasn't been even mentioned.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App

Connected mine to the TV using one of these too. The strange thing is that instead of outputting the signal through the yellow colored jack it comes through the red audio one.
Picture looks decent considering it's one rca connector. It looks like either 720x480 or 640x480 to me but, I can't tell for sure. I know my PS2 outputs 512x448 for most games so I get black bars on all four sides however, with this phone I only see them on the right and left which makes me think it's 640x480 but, since it's interlaced it's hard for me to be sure which also makes me wonder if the image is down-sampled or something as it appears to look pretty smoothed. Picture isn't great but, I've seen much worse. Screen output rotates with the phone which is nice. T-mobile TV works on a few channels but not many. Most everything else works ok.
When using screen-share (DLNA) I can't get the PS3 to find the phone and, I can't get the phone to find the PS3. I'm hoping an update will fix it.
The Twonky dlna app works though its a little buggy

I was on the fence about this particular phone, but this thread just sold it.
Thanks, I was content with my Nook Color until the right phone came along, and i've been watching everything that's been coming out.
Given the performance, features, and capabilities of this phone, and now THIS...
I'll be picking it up within the next few days or so, and be on the lookout for cables to test this out with.
Posted to thank the OP and tag the thread so I can get back to it more quickly when I have something to contribute. My first entry to the smart phone ballgame, this is gonna be fun.
ETA: picked one up yesterday. I like it, i'm going to find a video cable for it today.

I'm wondering if the reason they didn't advertise this feature is because the backing software or even hardware wasn't bug free. I have a 3.5mm plug with 4 connectors but can't get video on any of the rca plugs at the tv. I can see that video is being outputted but only a black and white, extremely distorted "picture" displays (nothing like the reports of it working here).
I ordered the zune cable from amazon, may report back if that works.

I used a four pole headphone type jack cable that came with my head unit for my car. The four poles are left audio, right audio, video and ground separated by black dividers.
I was able to get it to work. It's not great video, but it works good for a car audio/video output. I am able to use it along with Google navigation as a pseudo gps unit.

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?

HTC Stereoclip

Look what I found. Evidently the stereoclip doesn't violate any apple patents and actually made it past customs. So at least sprint can sell them before the EVO is released.
http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ID=ESX1086Q_C&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0
I am actually looking forward to this. Been using 3.5 adopter for a Bose system in my car instead of bluetooth. Regular A2DP bluetooth destroys audio quality. The HTC Stereoclip supposedly includes aptx that will prevent that and has higher quality sound over bluetooth.
Might have to do a little review.

Just ordered one. Thanks for the tip. Been waiting for this. Ordered the car dock from At&t two weeks ago. Still hasn't shipped.
Rabble rabble rabble.

Is it worth it to get this over aux cable?

I know this would work with the original EVO, but I'm wondering about the Bluetooth aptx, and if i would still be better off with an aux cable.

My only concern about this stereoclip is: will it be able to stream audio when playing videos on stock or non-stock video players?
I want to recreate what I had in my old car: a pioneer car audio with touch screen,playing video clips
My new car has a good old analog screen (stock can't be changed) with aux,adding the stereoclip + HOX on landscape holder will be superb

If it works the same way the One X normally does with car stereos that support Bluetooth, you can leave Bluetooth on the phone on all the time, it will auto-connect whenever you start your car and you can start playing music without even having to take the phone out of your pocket, much less hassling with plugging in a line cable.
If it works this way, I'd say its definitely worthwhile. But no idea if the adapter works that way or not.

Yeah that would be a nice feature to have but I'm more worried about the audio quality

THey have them- i bought mine at a Sprint store on Monday- the StereoClip works and more importantly SOUNDS amazing!

The stated battery life is what kills this for me. Five hours? I understand that you can't do too much with the size it is, but I commute about 1.5 hours each way, every day. Fishing this thing out of my car to charge every day is too much (call me lazy or whatever, but I don't want to be in a rush, forget to charge it, and suddenly left without music).
Of course, I could buy a car charger and leave it plugged in all the time.

Bluetooth audio to 2 devices

I heard that we'll be able to stream audio 2 pairs of Bluetooth headphones at once.
I've assume this will also be true for Bluetooth speakers such as the ones we're getting free in the UK?
But does that free Samsung Level Box Slim speaker pair with multiple devices? Obviously not for streaming from 2 phones at once if you get what I'm saying?
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

nope. The S8/S8+ are the only phones on the market with Bluetooth version 5.0, which enables the ability to stream audio to 2 separate devices. Most devices that pair to phones, can only be paired to 1 phone at a time, which is unfortunate. Really wish I could have 2 phones paired with my bluetooth headset for work and personal phones =-=.

Mkbhd just did a video on bluetooth 5 on the s8, its removed now, but its not like he controlled the audio to each speaker separately he was just playing the same tune to both at the same time. Not sure what the purpose of that is or if its that impressive.

I could see this being nice for having kids use the phone instead of a Y headphone plug, but use bluetooth headsets for the same songs, or video, etc.
I'm sure there are other instances, but for me personally it's kind of a worthless feature.

I wasnt thinking about having 2 devices connected at the same time more how many devices those speakers can be paired to without having to go through the whole pairing process again? For example my car can have up to 6 phones paired with it making it simple to swap which one it is using. If that makes sense?

I could see this being nice for having kids use the phone instead of a Y headphone plug, but use bluetooth headsets for the same songs, or video, etc.
I'm sure there are other instances, but for me personally it's kind of a worthless feature.

I will end up with 2 of these speakers in my house so being able to use both playing the same music in the garden sounds quite appealing!

yea I know what you mean. Thats a feature that I would imagine they would be highlighting as the main reason to buy the device. I dont see anything stating whether it has it or not, so chances are no. Like I said I am waiting for a bluetooth headset that can pair with my work phone and my personal phone at the same time.

This will be nice when I'm traveling with my girlfriend or with friends that have Bluetooth headphones. Sure you can use a headphone splitter but kind of restricts movement

Using this with headphones makes a bit more sense rather than speakers, but even 2 connections is still a bit of a limitation but still better than nothing i guess.

Anyone know if the 2 streams have a way to balance latency between each device?

This should explains everything
