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!

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?

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.
I'm planning to buy new earphones [not headphones], from some store in mumbai, or via flipkart...so want some recommendations...
Things I'm looking for:
microphone inbuilt, so i can use them for calls (like the stock one)
better sound quality, compared to stock
medium/good length of cord (not too short, so that i can keep the phone in my jeans pocket, and still listen to music comfortably)
good enough build quality, something that can handle day-to-day use (i mean, they shouldnt be too delicate)
i would prefer skullcandy, but people lately have been complimenting senheiser also, so i'm confused...
i can just google for these features, but here's where my problem starts...
i have an apple ipod 3rd gen...and this one doesnt have any buttons on the ipod for music and volume control, the controls are present on the earphones!!
tried searching at a lot of places, but cant find any decent earphones which would work on both my devices...
even searched for "adapters", but most of them dont work with skullcandy earphones, or arent available in india atm (cant import)...
anyhelp with either the earphones, or the ipod adapter, or both, would be appreciated...
budget for earphones = 700-1300 INR (1$=55INR, atm)
I use Sennheiser earphones and am extremely satisfied with them..
{
Things I'm looking for:

good enough build quality, something that can handle day-to-day use (i mean, they shouldnt be too delicate) - The build quality is decent, i did have to go to service center to get them replaced once..
The only thing they did lack was the mic thing you mentioned..
Its also worth mentioning that their customer service and all is outstanding.
}
Thats my opinion of sennheiser , from what i've heard Skullkandy is still the leader in this field, but you seriously should consider sennheiser.
Also if you're looking for bass, give Beats a try..
For the volume control thing try-
Mx- 580..
For how much did you buy mx 580 for? With all accessories?
You got warranty for how long?
Typed on a small touchscreen
Uh, I have the mx 170 that cost INR 500 not the mx 580 which you can get for INR 1500-1800..
Warranty is for two years.

They are the best ones out there!
Giving a small review/update on these...
So I finally bought a pair a few months back, but I am frankly really really disappointed with skullcandy...
I bought a one for around 1199 INR, and it left a lot to be fulfilled...
Utter disappointment, as I expected something way better than the stock earphones, but it was only nice in noise-isolation, and everything else was comparable to the stock samsung earphones that came along...
And the build quality is really delicate, I was very careful with them as dropping them could have broken them...
So disappointing that I sold them off to an acquaintance within 3 weeks...
I did gave skullcandy another chance, since shortly after that, I bought another different pair/model for 699 INR...
And this one is just plain horrible...
Low volume, no clarity at higher volume (as high as it could get), poor bass, no warranty card...all in all, I was worse off than before...
Only thing going for these ones was that they had *comparatively* better build quality, and were cheaper...
Been using this for two months, but unfortunately, one of the earpieces has stopped working...
No warranty, :crying::crying:
My review, skullcandy :thumbdown:
Stay away if you can...
Stick to stock headsets, those aren't the worst pair...
well I feel skullcandy is overhyped to be frank
I always liked our stock headphones , more than the apple ones .

Apple normal earphones were better than the skullcandy in-ear types...
Used it with my iPod shuffle, and without any equalizer, the experience was horrible...
Haven't purchased the Apple new semi-in-ear earphones, anyone has them/tried them?
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!
http://www.shure.com/americas/produ.../se-earphones/se846-sound-isolating-earphones
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 bought a set off amazon for cheap but were fake, real obvious fakes even though their description said originals.
they were labeled "Samsnug" was the first give away, I compared them to my originals, the cables were not flat, the fakes are round originals are flat.
other give away, is the strain relief at the end of each ear bud was longer, the real ones are shorter.
I gave up and bought a set off ebay from a S4 owner who didn't need them, they were originals with new extra set of ear buds.
Cost me 11 bucks. there are a lot of them on ebay but really hard to tell if they are fakes unless they are come out of the S4 box.
Good luck.

yes sorry been busy..I will PM and do what we had agreed.
I hate the headphones that came with my s4. I don't like them to go into my ears I like them just to sit there without having to push it in your ear.

Go with skullcandy. Way cheaper and way better quality.

Mine are still in the packaging you can have them. PM me.
I bought a pair off eBay, claiming they are OEM. NOT! The plastic around the earbuds were cracked.
The samsung earphones are not good anyway. I'd rather get smth else really.
Did anyone ever find a place to get these? I'd really love to get another set... Mine are almost shot.
Why stay with OEM headphones that came with the phone? They're usually ok, but not necessarily specially tuned for the audio drivers in the device to provide the best experience. I have a cheapo $20 pair of SoundAura BT headphones and a pair of Puggs in-ears. With Viper4Android I've blown my friends Beats and Skullcandy's out of the water with clarity and bass. In this age of mods you really can have just about any set you want and tune them yourself with apps. You can't really expect original phone headphones to stick around too long after the device is released.

I've tried several different (cheap) ear bud headphones and they all suck, I was so surprised when I tried the ones that came with this phone they really were great, they stay in my ear when I turn my head, the plug end hasn't failed after years of use, they sound good enough for me and much better than any other cheap ones I've tried... they even block out other sound from the surroundings surprisingly well. I dunno all around I was just really impressed with these ones -- all the little details.
They seem to me like a legitimate product of their own rather than some worthless value add that doesn't add any value.
Really though I was just hoping I'd get lucky and find someone on here that happened to have a pair laying around they didn't want!
As the title suggests, I need a recommendation on which earphones to buy. I have difficulty finding something myself as I don't have much experience when it comes to this. I'm going for something with good bass and good sound quality in general, which would cost me max. €60.
Thanks in advance!

I use Sennheiser CX 300 II and I bought in Italy for 35€.
I use Sennheiser CX 150 too and they are less expensive.
Both provide very good basses and very good quality. Remember that every earphone need 10-12 hours of work to get their best quality.
I talk as audiophile, I love music and I love listening music is a very good way
Try SoundMagic E10 or E10M. I had few Sennheiser's in my life, few better earphones and that, what SoundMagic offers is a real MAGIC. Best earphones I've ever had.
Sony MDR XB30 EX

Sony isnt kidding when it says "extra bass" they are durable, have a serrated cord so doesnt tangle.
and the audio output is epic,
plus if u put pure sonico sound mod + viper audio fx on your xperia Z. u can actually tap into the full potential of these babies.
:good:
@cervandes
I decided to go for the e10, and they arrived today. Been checking if if they are original. Everything seems to be okay physically speaking, except for the M310 printed on the other side of the plastic where the ends of right and left earphone meet. That left me a bit puzzled and concerned as I can't find any pic with that printed on it. Also, if these are legit, they now come with hard case instead of a pouch.

You need to use them for few hours to make them work like they should. You will notice a very big difference between sound quality just after unpacked and after 10 or 20 hours od playing.
About the printing... Try write to them on facebook? But I think, there's no Soundmagic's fake's... In my country there is a lot of crap from china and You have to be vary carefull when buying staff like headphones. I havn't seen fake E10 or any oder model from Soundmagic.
Best headphones i ever bought are actually Sony!
I recommend Sony M1HC. They are in-ear and the sound is really nice. Plus the price is surprisingly low.

The MDR XB90s are even better. I'm using it with my XZ and Viper4Android and man... I honestly couldn't ask for anything better.

Hi there,
I recently bought a pair from Amazon which were supplied from a third party. They arrived and looked genuine but the sound quality was awful. The vocals were tinny and the bass was non existent
Suspicious, I bought another pair (this time direct from Amazon) and the sound quality was immense, light years ahead and considerably better than the fakes.
The packaging, look, feel, case and everything was the same except for the fake ones had M310 printed on them and the genuine ones had M304.
I recommend you send them back and buy a real pair, you'll notice the difference immediately.

Hello, one thing confuses me though. The package had a serial number on it by which one can check on SoundMagic's webpage whether the product really is theirs/original. Now, judging by that number, the product is not a fake, but I can see that being somehow faked as well. I'll post pics of the package and earphones in a minute.

Edit:
Here are the pics of the aforementioned, possibly fake, product (click on the pic for a bigger resolution). A mail was sent to SoundMagic as well, to see if this really is a counterfeit.
Edit2:
Did some Google search and found some images of these earphones with different numbers, I'm not sure what they represent though. The numbers are M104, M204, M307. It seems it's a serial number of a sort.
Still probably fakes

Hey,
Thanks for the pics, I still think they're fake and the reason is the front picture with the What Hi-Fi logos on.
On the fake pair I had, the text of "HEADPHONES" and "SOUNDMAGIC" was a bit blurry but on the real pair it was very crisp and clear. I took some photos so I'll try and post them later to show you what I mean.
Perhaps the numbers on the wire are OK?

Hi Again,
Photos posted to stooorage (like the site BTW) and you can find them here (I'm <10 posts so no links in posts at them moment!)
stooorage. com/show/2707/11148750_fake1.jpg
stooorage. com/show/2707/11148752_real1.jpg
You can see the difference in the logo print above and below you can see a lack of "crispness" on the fake text compared to the real one.
stooorage. com/show/2707/11148751_fake2.jpg
stooorage. com/show/2707/11148753_real2.jpg
Unbelievably good fake packaging though, the differences are tiny.
Hope this helps!
Mark
P.S. The other thing I noticed was the plastic of the cable was a bit "glossy" on the fake pair compared to a more "matt" finish on the real pair.
@MarkMagic
I believe my e10's are actually the real deal. Haven't gotten a reply from SoundMagic to confirm this, but the sound is good and it seems these are the new series. A question though: did you get a number on the fake package with which you can confirm the product actually came from SoundMagic? Also, the letters printed on the package are crisp. All in all, everything seems to be original.

I had a lot of headsets (20+) and the best I had was sony (fabric from xperia Z) and KEF m200 (using till now) all sennheisers soundmagics denons and other audio brands were good till I heard KEF m200 extraordinary sound (for all kind of music) they're worth the money
Roar, i don't know how much is that in dollars $ even my keyboard dont have that symbol
but my personal preference are Monster Turbine although it's already discontinued but it's worthed... but if you going to bought it now it's still 6 items left on Amazon
It depends on what kind you like. For me I dont like in ear types they hurt my ear after a while
My favorite is skullcandy fix I can use it to sleep and stays in without having trouble of hurting for staying too long and the quality is the best for me
